Thanks for the response Tony! I should have questioned the use of soap, but like you said there is a lot of trial and error involved. My carto was out and I was feeling lazy so I just vaped on the cart that I filled using your straw mod and after about 8-10 drags the nasty taste was gone and it was all gravy after that. I have been switching stuff around today but that same cart is still going! I will say this mod has restored my faith in carts and for that I am very very greatful! When I get home from work I am going to rinse/soak the crap out of my blue foam and set up some more carts to use. It makes sense to me to sit down and prep lots of carts for the week, but this is all still so new and it seems every other day I am trying something new. I suppose after some time I'll find my groove and can get into a routine. In the mean time, thanks again and vape on my fellow Michigander!
