It's been a month since I last cleaned cartos. These were filled with off label juices so they had to be cleaned to use for other off label flavors. I dont have a camcorder so I took some pix with my phone:

Step 1. Remove Condoms, Buttplugs, Caps and O-Rings. Store Clean Condoms and O-Rings for future use, soak caps, o-rings and wet/sticky condoms.
Step 2. Place decapitated cartomizers in Strainer. fill pot with hot water, place strainer in pot, soak cartos in hot water. Change water frequently.
Step 3. Clean used condoms, buttplugs, syringes, etc. while cartos soak.
Step 4. After changing water again clean off o-rings and caps, separate into proper sizes and store for future use.
Step 5. When water is no longer discolored, remove strainer from pot, empty pot and rinse each cartomizer under running hot tap water.
Note: rinsing under slow running water conserves water and energy.
BTW: I stopped at Lowes today for some tubing and made a new rinse rig.
Step 6. Shake rinsed cartomizer several times to force water out (called thermometer shake) and set aside on porous surface to dry overnight.
Step 7. Leaving damp cartomizers to dry over night will not do the trick. Blow through carto to check for dryness.
Several other methods have been posted by members that wanted to speed up the drying process. I use the pump that came with my air mattress.
At least I did until I killed it today.
Step 8. Place dried cartomizers on clean, dry, absorbent surface for further air drying. I usually leave them for 2 or 3 days because Im too lazy to put them right away.
Step 9. Once dried these can be refilled immediately or stored for future filling.
It amazes me that so many of us find ways to extend the lives of single use, disposable items like cartomizers and plastic eating utensils.
