Forget all that...stuff! Yes you can rinse out cartomizers just keep in mind that some flavors take a little more effort rinse out than others. For instance menthols or say Caramel Mocha Frappe may need to have the process repeated several times and even then there still maybe a hint of flavor.

Although I think the Turkey Baster w/attached pen holder is an interesting little contraption it isn't necessary.

Pull caps, set aside
Toss Cartos into a bowl of water, let sit for 30 minutes
Run water from the faucet thru Cartos and shake excess water out of mouth opening
Place Cartos in bowl
Pour boiling water in bowl
Wait 5 minutes
Run water from the faucet and rinse out again
***Taryn spin dry
Set outside in the sun for an afternoon
Refill and vape.

Place the battery end in the cardboard tube and spin out all the excess water.

So Situation 10, I had to run out to Target to get some dog food and decided try out the turkey baster contraption. Turkey baster Chefmate $1.97, pen holder sleeve $.39 for a total investment with 6.5% Sale Tax $2.51

I had a dozen Cartos that needed cleaning, some menthols, fruit flavors, and wow peppermint.

Took the pen sleeve which fit nice and snug on the end of the baster.

Filled a glass with hot tap water, popped the caps and let the soak for 5 minutes. Dumped the water
Placed the mouth end into the pen sleeve
Lowered attached carto into the glass
Depressed baster bulb and allowed the baster to fill drawing water from the glass
Squeezed all the water back into the glass, depressed bulb, drawing water back thru
Short pulsating squeezed emptied water thru carto back into glass
Repeated twice more
With baster empty squeeze bulb several time blowing out excess water from carto

Repeated 11 more time using fresh hot water for each of the other cartos.

Took all cartos (wow & cool cart) outside and gave them a taryn spin to rid any residual water.

All in all I must say it was worth the entire $2.51 and cut my time in half with better results.

I'm sold, works well. Make yourself a lanyard for a few pennies and I think you are good to go.

Cyre....try mixing Caramel Mocha Frappe with anything...:p
