Hello all. I have to say this forum is excellent. I stumbled across it last week and am extremely happy to see so many people are into vaping. I started 2 weeks ago today and have not touched an analog since. I am in a small cow town and it seem people here are not very understanding of my new found hobby. I was wondering if anyone could give me some pointers on how to get a carto back into usable condition after it has picked up a burnt taste. I tried a method I found on here and flushed it with hot water but it didn't help.

Cartomizers are made to be disposable, if they have a burnt taste, best thing to do is toss it and get a fresh one.
I am not really sure. I have been looking on here to figure that out but haven't found much about it. It's from an xhaleo2 limited cartomizer model.
What type of PV are you using, and what kind of cart? Flushing it can help...if you're refilling then don't let them run dry and try to vape...you'll burn the polyfill. You can also take a straw and try to tamp down the filler,(if it is a bottom coil carto),to get it closer to the coil so it wicks properly.
Sounds as if you are getting some good information, so I will just welcome you to the forum and a congratulations are your new health.
Hi and Welcome!!! In my experience, once you let the carto get too dry and burn the polyfill you will never get rid of that taste. Unfortunately there is no way to bring that one back to life so your better off just tossing it like Dagar said prior. Always try and keep the carto wet with juice, once the flavor starts to change (not in a good way) and the draw starts to become tight then you can try and flush with hot water to try and reuse them. Hope this helps!!
That's what I was worried about. The town I am in has no stores that carry cartos, looks like I get to buy another starter kit.
Maybe purchase a different kit instead of the one you got? I tried to look up the XHALE 02 and it seems like its a propietary e-cig sold at 7-11 stores. Is this what it looks like?
Taken from: XHALE O2
If so, then it looks like you'd have to buy a whole new e-cig kit instead of just a few cartomizers. Try looking for an eGo / KGO kit perhaps? With these types of kits you just need a new cartomizer (they run about $2, sometimes cheaper).
Edit: Found these, they seem pricey!! http://www.xo2store.com/regular-refills-new/ but the limted edition cartomizers are not sold on the site.

That's true for many of us.
And also why we shop the internet.
Once we find a source we'll purchase lots of backups, especially cartos.
I've tried all sorts of them, including mega cartos, clearomizers but I really like the Smoktech 1.7's and probably have close to 100 of them now. But then I just got 30 of them last week.

Yeah, that's the one.
I think I am going to take your advice and get myself a KGO. From what I have read on it I think it looks like the way to go.

Send some of those bad boys this way rich guy!
It's just from money not spent on analogs. My spending on things has slowed down considerably lately. Once I found what works for me I stopped impulse purchases.(kinda, just bought 2 Lavatubes that were on sale for $40 each. Sale ends today)

Some cartos are the black ones, others stainless, and still others stainless with the flange. All recent purchases are for the 1.7's but I do still have others that I give to friends to try.

Kgo is a good choice and many of my friends use it and are very happy. When you're ready to order post the order here to make sure your order is complete. We can also find you discount codes.
Edit: regardless of the carto you are using the first fill is VERY important otherwise parts of the stuffing are dry and it burns out prematurely. It's surprising how long it takes the juice to fully saturate the carto.

Ok like you said to I am ready to order the following.
1 - KGO (Riva) 1100mAh Electronic Cigarette Kit
1 - SmokTech 510 Dual Coil Cartomizer (5 PACK)
And 1 bottle of juice.
Am I missing anything I will also need?
Would you mind linking the cartomizers for us? That sounds like they may be pre-punched for use in a tank and won't work well without one 
I'd also suggest getting at least 2 packs of cartos so that you aren't ordering 1 every week. And how much juice do you plan on ordering?
(I am pretty sure you can link to the site you are ordering from so we can help )
