Cartos are fairly easy to draw. It's just a cylinder. Start by drawing two parallel lines... [snicker]
Cartos hard to draw?

its ok. I totally Milky Way'd at adrenalynn myself.
So here's what I did, I kinda knew the methods as I've been surfing the site for a while. I got the tea kettle steaming, got out the pyrex 2 cup, pulled off the caps and tossed in the carts. Waited till the water was a bit cooled, and poured in a couple of cups. Agitated with a fork...gently...played games trying to stand them all up...reveled in the steamy mint-clove thing going on...got bored and took them all out. I considered doing it again to see if the mint smell went away, but meh. I filled one cart with my remaining juice after I blew and reverse shook the thermometer to get all the water out, and voila, puff puff, works great.
V4L, my juice really, really needs to get here tomorrow...

P.S. The remaining carts are standing mouth side down, no caps, on a paper towel, overnight to dry.
Does that all sounds about right?

It sounds fine! And it sounds like quite a still art for you to use as a drawing model. 
Yep, sounds fine.
Although if you want to speed dry... bundle them together with a rubber band (all mouth ends facing same way) drop a bundle of paper towels into the bottom of a (hopefully
) clean sock. Drop the bundle of cartos mouth side down into the sock and do a Reverse Taryn Spin.
Hehe. I can't wait till my new ones arrive. Honestly, I'm surprised there isn't tons of pv art out there...maybe there is, please don't tell me.
Why did it take everyone so long to see the obvious pun in the title?

Sweet tip! I may try that anyway. But hey, if you use a dirty sock, you might get a good rendition of analog flavor added to your carts...
One of our forum denizens has discovered 175deg F in the oven is the optimum drying temp. I'll let her claim credit for it.

With my luck, I'd forget they were there...
Got new cartos today. Issue persisting with new carts as well. Used toothbrush on batt no diff. Post from phone, sorry for shortness!
Hey aer!
I tried finding this in the thread but could not see this.
Are you using automatic or manual batteries with your refilling?
The reason that I ask this, is that while automatic batteries are great, refilling cartomizers greatly increases the chance of automatic battery failure. If you overfill a cartomizer, the juice can leak directly into the battery causing issues with everything from power to draw.

you can soak the connector end in about a 1/4 inch of alchohol.Then let it dry out.It might help get the juice out.
Is that really ok? How long of a soak and how long to let it dry? I'm a bit nervous to dunk any part of my battery!
Ok I finally got to a pc so I can be really specific now!
So there are two ways that I've discovered to drag on the pv. The first one I used was to take a few short drags with no break in between to fill my mouth with vapor, and then inhale. The second...is a little more difficult to describe, but its like a lonnnnng drag and I'm inhaling at the same time. I hope this makes sense to someone. I have no trouble right now with the first method, its the second type of draw that has gotten like sucking a really thick smoothie or milkshake.
Hopefully this will help you diagnose my issue. BTW, my order came...now I'm kinda wishing I had ordered a second battery, d'oh! But wow, I forgot how nice 18mg is...maybe I wasn't quite ready to switch to 11. Oh well. Crabbiness is ok, eventually I want off the nic altogether! I plan to save my 18mg for morning. But its the peach...its going to be hard to ignore!
I will try soaking the end of the battery, but not until bedtime so I can leave it overnight to dry. If I could get a little more detail on that it would be appreciated!

I get a shotglass and pour about an inch of rubbing alcohol into it. Then let my battery stand up in it LED side up for about 1/2 an hour. You'll want to let it dry overnight for sure though.
