You must have a bad carto because mine have never had a bad smell or any smell for that matter,? You can do that but it will take a while to dry and may cut your carto life short. That is weird? Was the carto in a plastic wrap?

I just cracked open a new one and no smell. Weird - i wonder if it's genuine. Another post in the dcc thread referred to the same thing happening with some new Smoktech cartos and they said a rep told them about a change in the polyfill. Boiling worked for that person but may indeed shorten it's life a bit.

i think i found the problem its the rubber condom that comes with it and tried washing it and i think the carto seems to smell less than what the condom smelled. yes i think they change polyfill in this one its very hard to get the juice (60% PG/40% VG) to sink in unlike my hc dual coil before. im loading some juice on it and waiting for it to sit in then will see. thanks guys.

Toss it in the trash.

FWIW, I wipe them down with a wet paper towel before putting them in a tank just for good measure.

I've always had a slight smell and taste with all cartos, but it goes away quickly. I've been meaning to try to wash them b4 using. Most of mine survive a good hot water rinse, the ones that don't are the ones that were going to die anyway from overuse.

If the smell was more than slight, yeah, I'd toss it.

My condoms don't smell. Lol but anyways i use a syringe to quickly fill my boge cartos. I stick it all the way down the fill then expunge more at diff levels. It's works real fast and then I throw on my tank! If it has an odor, I would toss it! I had a similar exp with a clear smoktech DcC recently, the polyfl smelled and affected the taste of the juice drastically to where I just threw it away!
