Cleaning Cartomizers - What did I do wrong?

[Cat_in_the_Playground]

Here ya go jbmcdan: YouTube - Vapor4life Tips, Tricks & Fixes for Cartomizers

I do not recommend the following: Boiling them in a pot or Oven Drying

As mentioned in the video, if want to rid a Carto of a strong flavor to use with a different flavor just use vodka instead of water, flushing it back and forth with the bastor. Then run some hot water through the Carto under the sink, place it back in the bastor and flush it back and forth in a glass of hot water.

Awesome video! Thx for posting the link. I'm going to give this method a try next time. Wish I would have known about this method before boiling and baking those 17 others. Just gotta get a dowel from a wire hanger. I HATE wire hangers and they immediately go in the garbage or back to the cleaners. Now I wish I would have hung on to one of them. Who woulda thought they could actually be useful for something other than freshly cleaned clothes????

As always an excellent Help to us all Snow. I have just started filling so I am sticking to blanks, but I have plenty of used cartos stashed to for when I am ready to attempt it.

If you don't have a bastor or vodka, can you just run hot water through them and use plain alcohol and rinse again?

 

[Nev]

Just wanted once again to thank everyone for their help. I truly truly appreciate the knowledge and wisdom shared on V4L and ECF in general.

Just filled one of the aforementioned cartos and it is vaping like a charm!

I am going to try the vodka next.....sounds like a lot less work LOL

From what I have read, don't use rubbing alcohol...plain alcohol meaning Everclear maybe?

You are correct Ms. Nevada, you want to use an alcohol you could drink... Not one that could potentially kill you...

Thank you both for clearing that up for me. I usually burn a cart before I ever get to clean and refill but I have a few I don't like and might experiment with them. Gotta love the forum!!

No problem Ms. Lmaiuri.
