Not to change the subject from men cooking, which mine cannot, but.......

If I want to clean the atomizers?, cartomizers? that came with my Apollo DCT..... would I just rinse them in warm water, blow them out and let them dry?

Sorry for a stupid question, but when I vaped three years ago the prevailing theory was that water killed atomizers....but I think that idea has changed?

TIA! :p

I think generally you just toss out a carto once it stops performing. They're made to be cheap and disposable. The polyfil makes it difficult to clean.

Thanks for the tip about Roast beef and smoke. I just don't DIY yet. My skill level is unscrew the cap and put drops in. I am sure someday I will have a Chem Lab going, just haven't had the time for that research yet . I am still working on the basics of Vaping and researching which upgrade path is best for me.

I do find my research into flavors extremely funny though. I read about people saying how this mixed berry, tobacco, vanilla, ect ect...taste so good, yummy. I say BORING invent me a Doritos flavored juice. I mean come on who on this planet doesn't like Doritos. I would vape that stuff so silly it would be stupid. I realize flavors are limited and the chemistry of juice can only go so far right now, but just think.......................Doritos............................vape coma here I come lol.

That is what I thought Giant...but I know I read a discussion somewhere about cleaning them! Just can't remember where and didn't want to toss them if they were now being constructed to withstand a washout! :)

This is an awesome story. Both my husband and I cook very well, BUT I love it when he cooks for me! Right now, that is pretty much every night. I am loving it!

Seriously, my husband made me fall in love with him because of his cooking.

I didn't really know him very well even though we lived in the same co-ed house our last year of college.
But then we were the only two people in the house who stayed for spring break.
I came in after a run (yes, this was WAY back when I used to run) and he was taking a whole roasted thanksgiving-sized turkey out of the oven.

And he offered me some.

See, I had grown up in a household where you protected your food like wild dogs. At dinner, you curled one arm around your plate and hunched over it and growled at anyone who looked at your food too long. You grabbed at whatever you could reach that was edible as fast as you could because otherwise you weren't going to get any.

And here was this guy I hardly knew offering me fresh roasted turkey...

I fell in love right there....

We got engaged 2 months later.

Yes, I was bought by a turkey...
:facepalm:

WOOOHOOOO FOR BACON!!!!! Thank you Morri! I can't wait!

hey Rev,

De was trying to tell you yesterday, but I don't think you saw.......diy makes roast beef. diy makes smoked. with those two things, you should be able to come up with the jerky or whatever. add some extra's maybe.... butter, ap for bread, crunch, nut for nutty taste for the meat, etc. a little exploration is a good thing. Also I am still working on my "bacon, BACON, BACON" recipe. for Mare and a few others. it is still not spot on, so I am still working on it. :) I have been kinda too busy lately.

Before I switched over to bottom coil CE3's I cleaned out some of my cartos. They would still work after cleaning but not as good as new. I have a 60ml syringe. I cut the end of the tip down enough to where it fit the mouth end of the carto pretty tight. First I would draw really hot water up through the carto and then push it out. I would do that several times or until nothing but clear water was coming out. I would then take it out of the water and use the syringe to push air through the carto until no more water came out. Let it air dry over night and it is ready to use again.

The only way I would go through all that work now though is if I had no other option.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that has a deep desire to find delicious savory flavors. Check your PMs, by the way.

I first soaked in alcohol pharmacy, then a little distilled water. then completely dry fiber will glow while the thin and evenly glow is everywhere

Dear Santa,

Thank You for all your hard work, and joy you have brought to so many all these years. You have been such an inspiration to people like me.

This year I am not going to ask you for anything. I have been such a good boy but I do believe you are entitled to take a day off for all the years of hard work. You have earned it Santa.

Thank you Santa and I love you :)

P.S. If by chance your still going to give presents, and a SS Mini Vtube vaping reactor from hell is left under my tree I won't mind. Honest, it would be ok I promise.
