Can you refill carts with a different flavor when they go dry?

[Foster_519]

Just curious, I have no experience with e-cigs at all, once they dry up and it's time to refill, can you refill one flavor with a different flavor?

Like lets say I have a chocolate one, and I want to refill it with pinapple or something, can you do this, or will it still have the taste of the last flavor that was in it?

How do you guys refill with different flavors, do you have to buy a blank cartridge, can you even buy blanks?

you can wash the wick inside the cartrige

Cool, I don't know what you mean at all, but I'm assuming it's something inside that you can take out and just wash?

So once you wash this then you can just reload a different flavor?

You have to remove the white mouthpiece cap and the inner clear cap inside the cartomizer. Then rinse very well with warm water. Blow several times through the battery end of the cartomizer until no more water comes out and let dry for a few hours. Then refill with new flavor and put it all back together.

What is your model?
the only flavor that you should not mix is mentol cause it is very hard to take the flavor out from the atmy.
to clean the flavor of a regular one from the atmy you can drop 3 or 4 drop of destilated water on your cartrige and vape.

I am a hell with english, SORRY, but somebody is gonna be around soon to help you in a better way

You might want to watch the refilling video posted by kc here:

Plus you might want to try this trick posted by Taryn as well:

You can use a bent paperclip, a pick tool, or a simple crochet hook to pop off the top. Go slow and just pry it up a little bit at a time.

Steve has ordered blank cartos, and he'll add them to the website once he gets them. But many people here refill their used cartos 10 or more times. Even if you order more carto flavors, it's probably a good idea to keep the used ones for future refilling. I have a coffee can full of them now and will eventually get around to filling them. Right now I'm still having a good time ordering all the new flavors, can't seem to help myself, LOL.

I frequently re-use batches of carts (with flavors I don't like) with other flavors.

Two things you can do:

1. Re-use a cart using a "complementary" flavor. Like re-using a cowboy with another "mostly" tobacco flavored liquid. I discovered that refilling the V4L peanut-butter-cup carts I had with a chocolate-banana-walnut liquid that I obtained from another vendor, is downright fantastic. Didn't do any more more than a cursory hot water flush and blowout of the old cart.

2. This is what I do to absolutely ditch any smell and remnant of the original juice:
Rinse and blow out the cart as described in other threads.
I then soak and swirl the carts in vodka for about 15-20 minutes.
One more hot water flushing, and blow dry.
Refill with any flavor...

Or if you're like me and you chew on your cartos, you'll find you can pop them off with your teeth.

Just don't use the good vodka! 8-o

Since I'm not a vodka drinker (beer and whiskey more my speed), I could argue there is no such thing as "good" vodka but, rest assured, it is definitely the cheap stuff we have laying around here for emergency Bloody Mary purposes....

Amen to that. I still think Bourbon is one of mankind's best inventions.

I think Jose Gold is da bomb! Can't wait to try the tequila cartos

Have to agree with you there!

God forbid I might have a leftover vodka taste in it after I'm done, that stuff is way hardcore for me...lol..

Thanks guys...

You might also just use a tasteless liquid or a little 50/50 VG/PG which always seems to get rid of old flavors. I say this, because I've rinsed a cart out several times and still get a redbull flavor that will not go away until I do the 50/50.
