Good morning, Volties. I am up vaping and drinking coffee.

Yesterday I cleaned an old caboodle I have and organized my vape paraphernalia. I have 21 different flavors of juice, most of which I haven't tried.

Just curious...a question for anyone who cares to answer...how many bottles of juice do you have?

I have 11 bottles of juice now and more on the way. I also have individual cartos of other flavors, SI's 3 flavor samplers. I've tried all the juices, some more than others. I should probably get rid of some I'm not as fond of that I hardly ever vape, but since my taste is so fickle, I keep thinking they may taste better some other day. I have a carto of each flavor and change them often. In fact, in the trade thread, I listed the flavors and would like to trade filled cartos of mine for others' so I can try more juices without having to buy more bottles. This would save other people from buying more bottles, too, if they want to just see what a flavor is like. No takers yet, but I'm still hoping.

What's everyone's favorite way to clean out cartomizers? I've seen youtube vids, but I'd like to hear how folks here like to do it. Or point me to a favorite place?

I never tried it, and I'm not sure I want to. My present plan of action is to refill them with the same or a similar juice till they die, then toss them. It sounds like a lot of trouble to clean them out. However, if I'm going to be sampling lots of flavors, I'm going to be buying lots of cartos. So maybe I should rethink that. Anyway, I amassed a bunch of info from people when this topic last came up, and I could PM it to you, as I have done for others. It takes 2 messages, it's so long. Some people seem to have good luck with a machine that cleans jewelry. That sounds efficient and less trouble than some other methods, though it means buying another piece of machinery. Anyway, let me know if you want everyone's various methods of cleaning cartos.

SandySu - Since you'll be testing a lot of different nicquids, you might want to try my method of removing the carto filler material to make a testing carto. You won't have to waste a whole carto if you don't like the juice. With this, you can just rinse it or blow it out to test the next flavor. It's pretty derned easy really. I put together a pictoral instruction post on how to do this. It is Post #9507 in the old thread if the link below doesn't work.

Hi ya everyone, well i have to say that the purple led's are just mega awesomeness with a diamond cap on. Not sure why it took me so long to buy one but im glad i did.

They do sound pretty, Reptilr. I don't have any diamond caps yet, but maybe soon when I order some colored drip tips.

Thanks, Rave. I was thinking of this -- I vaguely remembered someone doing it. Could you transport these instructions and pictures into the Tips and Tricks folder? That would make it easier for everyone to find. Or maybe a folder of its own? How does that work?

I've seen people drip into atomizers, and this looks to be the same. Is it? I guess I'll wait till I have a carto used up and unrefillable so if I ruin it, nothing's lost.

When you do this, how long do you give a liquid before you deem it worthy of its own carto? I'm not quite sure yet if a try or 2 is enough for me to tell whether I like a flavor or not. I'm still feeling my way.

I am only in my 2nd month of vapeing, So I have an excuse to keep buying... I have to find my go to flavours of course:)

And I plan On selling a big lot of them for cheap once I got my flav's down.

Would you be interested in trading cartos filled with the liquids we have? I think it would save us both money.

How many bottles?? Oh GAWD!! I'm only a couple months in, and I think at one point I had 47 bottles!! I've found a few favorites, a few really awful ones and some that will do in a pinch. There's just so many choices! And sure enough, you think you know what you like and BAM.. your taste buds change and a new juice sends you to the moon! A great way to check out different juices is to go to the classifieds. There's tons of people here who regularly sell the juices they don't vape anymore. That's how I ended up with so many. I've since sold a bunch of my own that I don't like. It's a great inexpensive way to try some juices you might not order otherwise.

The reason I asked, Rhianna, is cause I have seen some of the stashes that people have and some of them are humongous. I figured my little stash would be one of the smaller ones. I was just curious. Thanks for replying.
