Been vaping for almost three months

[Lesa]

Hello All,

Been vaping for approximately three months. I have finally narrowed down finding juice that I like and now am working on finding the best blanks for my 808 that can be boiled an re-used. Seems that after boiling that the flavor of my juice no longer comes through. I'm thinking maybe I should be filling with a syringe instead of just using a dropper??? Any suggestions would be nice. Thanks!

Hi Lesa! Congrats on your quit! Your trying to clean your cartomizers? Yeah, I have boiled about 100 of those suckers, I decided it's just not worth the effort. Only about 20% make it out alive and those are never great. I know it's hard to toss them but they really are made to be disposable.

It has been my experience with boiling cartomizers that sometimes it works, and sometimes it does not. I would say that I can effectively use a boiled cartomizer a bit over half the time. Meaning if I boil 20 of them, around 13 will be viable. The rest are chucked in the bin. They are designed to be disposable, so attempts to reuse them are met with only partial success. I have always just dripped to refill, so cannot speak for how a syringe would work. I cannot imagine it would make much of a difference though.

Tornado, you have great success with boiling. WTG
Syringe filling won't give you any more flavor or TH. Its only for throughly wetting the filling. You can achieve the same effect condom filling.

I had issues when boiling carts but I now bake them on a cookie sheet at 250f for about an hour or so and it has worked so far for me.

welcome to the forum Lesa-
like others have mentioned...cartos are meant to be disposable..
that said, occasionally i will try to clean them(like if they are brand new and the juice i used em them doesnt take to tasting well in a carto)
I dont boil them though, i use a syringe in a matter much like the cartofillinator showcased on these forums with hot water and flush them out several times, blow them out, then bake em in the over an the lowest setting for about 30 minutes(on a cookie sheet of course)
USUALLY they survive the encounter

Hi Lesa,

Here is a video if you jump to 4:48 it will show you a quick cleaning method. You can then put them in the oven for drying.

I use this sometimes, but lately I've been using this cleaning kit, using a high proof vodka rinse. Works quite well, and dry overnight. Here's link to SmokTek's thread.



Hope this helps

Thank you all for the advice. I will check out those links and look into the suggestions as if they can be re-used it helps save a few $ for juice
