Cartomizer no longer holding juice

[seniorGecko]

After 2-3 days of use, my cartos seem to lose the ability to hold more than 3 drops of juice. Any more and it starts leaking. And without adding drops, there's no vapor or taste. The filler still looks white and clean. Does that mean that the carto is done? Is there any way to revive/refresh/recycle it? 2-3 days seems a bit short-lived. The particular carto is a regular Boge. The juice is 50/50 pg/vg.

Most juices will eventually clog up a carto, particularly thicker juices and those with sediment. This is pretty quick though. I'd try cleaning it - fill with vodka or other clear alcohol, blow it out, repeat until clear, then a couple passes with very hot water. After it's thoroughly dry see if it's better. (I get a quick dry by setting it battery end down on top of a light bulb for 15 min)

If the juice is pretty thick you can thin it with a little pg or a couple drops of vodka.

There's also a chance the center tube is ripped and new juice leaks out through that. If that's it, time to toss it. Good luck!

cartos like attys are like that, some last some don't. I just grab a new one when I begin to struggle with one

I just toss casrtos when they stop performing. Some may see that as being extravagant, but I am still way ahead by not smoking analogs.

If your using boge cartos then you should be getting them from CCV which generally has the best price on them at just over $1 each so just toss it in the trash pop on a freshy and vape on! Just sayin

The airway tube has broken loose from the base. Toss it.

There also have been some threads here on ECF discussing a few bad batches of Boge cartos over the last couple months, so if you know this juice normally doesn't cause this I'd replace the carto, and if possible try a different box or a different carto brand just to find out the cause.
