I'm like that with just about everything, deliberately. I tend to buck trends out of spite, I think.Mostly nobody, but I when the (vaping) world goes left, I go right and vice versa.
I was joking, Q. Don't tell me that you used a turkey baster.Yeah, the turkey baster was much later.
Memories? lolOMG, I can hear Barbra Streisand starting to hear that song...

I had to rinse out the denture cleaning tablet, Jerry!
I'm going to call it a night. Goodnight Terry, Cindy, Q and lurkers. I'm out of here, so y'all can go back to wrapping thread around turkey basters.
0MG isn't on the thread tonight, Cindy.OMG. Maybe I can stop laughing like an idiot now. Night!
I'm gone now, really, I'm gone, I wouldn't lie to ya, I'm out of here, right now, goodnight, I think.
I have a carto tank in the classys and I can't even sell that.
Maybe they don't like that kind, or maybe they already have some. You'd just have to sell them cheap.

Jeesh, I post about the early bottom coil mini tanks and everyone talks about cartos. Cleaning them was a joke. The gunk that builds on a coil, any coil, is actually a polymer, yes a type of plastic. Denture tablets, hot water. PGA and any "industrial grade" solvent I've tried, like acetone and others, won't touch it. The only way to get rid of it is by dry burning. Dry burning a carto kills the carto so they are throw-aways.
In terms of cheap, not including the time, I don't think rebuilding with cellulose and a new coil costs more than a nickel, literally, including the wire. The advantage I've found with cellulose is how long it lasts compared to silica, and from what I hear from others, cotton, hemp and everything else. I put at least 75ml through two Protanks I rebuilt with cellulose and when I re-wicked them I actually could have gone on to at least 100ml. I do vape tobacco flavors with minimal sugars and that's a big advantage, but if I got 30ml out of a stock Protank head that was pretty good. The box of cellulose I have should produce at least 12,000 wicks and cost less than fifteen bucks so it's hard to get less expensive than that.
The thing that really strikes me about cellulose is that when the density is right, and that can be a little tricky until you get the feel for it, whatever you wick with it suddenly becomes a whole, new, vastly improved device. Single coil devices produce vapor and flavor like or better than dual coil devices. Imagine a CE3 that performs like an iClear 30 series on steroids. That what it's turned into for me anyway. That makes rebuilding well worth the effort.

I still use cartos sometimes in streaks. I'm one of the few that actually like them and I've got several carto pipes. I like the convenience and disposable aspects. I started with attys and cartridges when cartos were just coming into their own. Soon after I found Volt and that's all they had at the time. I've got tons of devices, tanks, clearos, etc. and seem to cycle through them all. I was just getting ready to order a few cartos so why not get them from Casey and get enough to last foreveah. Quoting Cindy's last post but it didn't seem to show up when I hit submit.

I have around 300 cartos going to waste. They taste awful. No thank you.
