Cleaning Cartomizers -- anyone doing it this way?

[flintlock62]

Are they still wet, or have they dried when you blow through them?

after cleaning when you blow through it should the air come out easy or tight? we've had both.

If they are dry air should pass through easily.

look thru the center air hole. should be able to see light at the other end. if its blocked it will be tight. if its blocked try running a sewing needle thru to clear it. use a light touch when doing that. dont want to break the wire. compare the air hole with a new one for reference.

I bought a 35CC syringe at Tractor Supply (2 for about $3.69 in a package) and attached 7/16in clear tubing (Lowe's 27 cents/foot) to it with black duct tape (incredibly strong) then I fill a tupperware with warm water and insert the driptip end of the cart in the other end of the tubing and suck water in and out about 6 to 10 times. Without removing the cart from the tubing I pump air through the cart a dozen or so times until there is no fine mist coming out of the cart. I then am ready to fill again, seems to work perfectly and the rig cost only about $3.00 to make (if you already have the duct tape) I'll followup in a few weeks with my experience on several more cartos. BTW a couple of my cartos had some thick sugary ejuices and those came out clean and odor and taster free.

The above procedure works VERY well!! I used the same thing (except used 1/2" clear tubing and a strechable rubber type of electricians tape) and cleaned out 2 old cartos that I had filled with juice that I didn't care for and now they are clean and
ready to rock!!

Thanks so much for sharing this with us, I hope more folks try it!!
