Changing burnt Carto...Should I empty the tank?

[jwag1973]

Hello, I've got a burnt carto in my IBtanked tank. The carto taste's really burnt. I'm not sure if I should I empty the tank or just replace the carto? I tried a search on this topic and must be doing it wrong. I'm sure this has been covered and if so, sorry! Thanks in advance for any help.

Once the carto tastes burnt, its trash. You can probablt get away with just changing the carto and use the same juice, it's worked for me. Unless you really burned the crap out of it and kept trying it or left it with the juice for a long while, the juice is probably ok.

Make sure you prime the carto correctly or it will burn every time. Use Baditude's guide to cartos to help you on this. Very valuable info. The prime is the most important step.

It's happened to me a few times.

I have cheated a bit. I have primed a carto nested the burnt 510 in the top of the new carto. With one hand hold the caps firmly to the tank. Push the new carto up into the place of the burnt one. Burnt one pops out the top.

I use the Ocelot method:

Whadya got? Did the liquid go really dark in color? If you smell it does it have a bit of a burnt smell to it? You should find your answers there. Regardless, if you have an empty bottle why not empty it out and add it back in later. Starting a fresh carto with suspect juice sure won't give you your best experience.

I keep the same juice. Ive never had a problem with any burnt carto hurting my juice in any way.
