Boges not working after boiling.

[cocorico]

I cleaned a few of my boges 2.0 boiling them 5 times and then oven bake them at 170 degrees for 30 mins and then had then laying around for a couple days. Today I filled them up and they taste burnt immediately, all of them. They worked good before I cleaned them. Also when I take dt off and press button, it glows red inside. my working ones dont do that. Are they done?

When I clean mine, I never boil 'em. Just force hot water through 'em with a 5ml syringe about 10 times and then dry 'em in the oven (LOW temp) for about 20 mins. and all of 'em have worked.

You could also use this method for cleaning

I've never had a carto that tasted fresh after a clean, so I just dispose of 'em. What were we paying for cigs again? My time is worth more than a spent carto

If I want to clean a carto I flush it with alcohol but generally I just pitch it when it starts tasting bad/drawing poorly.

cocorico, it's possible the lowest settings on your oven are inaccurate, and by quite a bit. Very often it is the case that an oven thermostat is accurate in the 275-400^o range but be wildly off lower down.

Also, ovens (whether gas or electric) are "all on or all off" devices; unlike a rangetop gas burner, they're incapable of gradation. Thus, when you turn on your oven, the heater fires up "all on" until the thermostat tells it to turn "all off" when it reaches the desired temperature. The thermostat may not actually be in the oven, or your oven may have much hotter spots than where the thermostat is located. Finally, many ovens are programmed (mechanically for older ones, digitally for newer ones) to overshoot the desired temperature, sometimes by as much as 50^o, to keep the average temperature over time at the set temperature.

Long story short: ovens are the absolute last place I'd ever dry a freshly laundered carto! Air-drying over several days seems to be the best and safest course.

after boiling, blow out as much water as possible (after they cool down .. ) .. roll up a paper towel piece and insert in end to wick out moisture .. let sit for a day .. remove and reverse paper towel to dry end and insert again, let sit for a day ..

I suspect oven drying is likely not a good idea ..
