Cartridge filler

[dinky1]

When do you know its time to change out the filler in the carts, or to wash & let dry ? Also, when changing to a new juice flavor can i put it in a cart that had other juice or is it better to start with new clean cart?
Hope im not repeating this question(as noob's do) but couldnt find the answers to this.
Thanks for your help!!!

If the old juice has a subtle flavor (like a prefilled cart from a starter kit) and the new juice has a strong flavor (menthol or something), you might not notice the old juice very much (if the old juice is strong, you'll probably notice it, and might find yourself reserving certain carts and even attys for that flavor, so it doesn't get in your other gear).

But if you're evaluating a new juice to see how you like it, it's only fair to give it an honest chance with a fresh cart and clean filler. Otherwise, your first impression might be of the juice, or it might be of the juice + old juice + grungy filler.

What's "grungy"? When it starts looking discolored, or stops absorbing liquid like it used to, it's worth rinsing it out and then replacing it (you'll lose a couple drops of juice, but it's not a huge waste).

I change mine out when I can inhale through the nose (french inhale) and it makes my nose feel like its burning.

I notice when I top the cartridge off it stops most of this.......a new cartridge seems not to have that problem for eight to twelve hours (at the speed I vap).

If you top it off, and you get no hint of that smell or taste, the filler is okay--my opinion.

get yourself a bag of polyfil at walmart for several dollars. will last you the rest of your life refilling carts.

Pick up a box of Fluval ("water polishing pad" for fish tank filters) at a pet store. Cost about $5-$6 for a multi-year cart filler supply.
The bag of polyfil we picked up at Wal-Mart ended up being chemically treated to be non-flammable and we heard here that wasn't a good thing.
