Cartomizer 'stuffy' after refill

[MacDiver]

Sometimes, if I completly refill a carto using the condom method (bubble of air out of the thread end) they get 'stuffy' and hard to pull air through. I jetted the juice out with a flavor injector, the one in the link below using hot water. I it's still drying now but it still pulls hard like the air is restricted.

I even pushed air through it hard with the injector and still no luck. Do I need to use high pressure air through it? I can see light through it so the air intake is clear. This has happend to about three of my cartos.

Thanks

If you look through the end you should see a clear path through the hole. I usually take a paper clip to the hard draw ones and carefully run it through thr hole from one end to the next. Then I push on both ends of the clip to make an arch in it and then while holding it in an arch I spin the carto to open up that hole and clear it out. Be forewarned to turn and feel for a path and don't force it when putting the clip in or you could ruin your carto. Just be gentle putting the clip in.

I do the same thing as 5card...using a paper clip...I push it gently through the center and make sure it comes out on the battery end...then I push the clip around in circles..basically opening up the airway from batt end to cap end..then look through the middle to make sure I can see through it.

VG can also clog up cartomizers

I get a hard draw on cartos after so much refilling, thats when I toss them in the dirty bin To be cleaned.

I have noticed the new premium carts usually junk up faster than the old ones did. They seem to get clogged after maybe 2-3 fills where the old carts were good for 5-10. I haven't had the time to try cleaning the new ones yet, but I hope they come clean. They do work better when they are new.
