Im on my 3rd refill of my 15 cartos, and on the one set, I put in a backwoods brew melonbacco and it is a pretty light liquid. When I was clearing excess liquid out, there was a very dark brown mixed in with the light (distinguishable in the pool of liquid.) So my question is, should I clean these cartos, and how would I go about that?
Cleaning cartos?

The dark stuff is from around the coil and it's normal. You can boil them, soak them in hot water, rinse them in PGA or IA and make sure they're dry before you use them. I use a syringe with a carto condom (cut out the end) on it and the carto stuffed in the other. Flush it out with really hot water
Good luck
I get around 4-5 days out of one, no more.

Many clean them....and many don't.
I'm on the don't list as I do not feel it makes enough
difference and I treat them as strickly disposable as
they are suppose to be.
I use alot of dark tobacco liquid though and they say
that it clogs up quicker than clear liquids.
There are alot of other posts and YouTube videos that go over
the cleaning process, if you decide to go that way.

...what you saw is normal...use the carto until it gets hard to draw on or the taste gets funky...you should be able to vape 8+- ml of juice thru it before replacement...I clean mine ONCE with the boil and rinse 3 time method...after that first cleaning, performance starts to fall off and it doesn't seem worthwhile to clean a second time as they are meant to be disposables anyhoo..............

I have been cleaning mine and having good luck. I used my cleaned cartos for trying new flavors I mix up, works great if you find one flavor you hate, just toss it out as it is a used one anyway bnrk

At less than $2 apiece, I chuck them and fill up a new one. You get nice, clean taste from a new carto and to me, it's not worth the refurb process.
I tried cleaning, and my opinion is that it's not worth the aggravation. They don't last long after cleaning, IMO, and I now toss them when the draw gets tight.
This is your best bet. I tend to use them until they draw so hard it makes me crosseyed
Im gonna go the toss route I believe. I just refilled my prefilled ry4 carto for about the 5th time. Ive noticed a big diff in taste now. It taste like a old stale tobacco. Ive seen post where some folks use them for months, I just dont think my taste buds would let me do this.
...someone saying their cartos lasted X weeks/months really doesn't mean much...the amt of juice and what type means more to me...which is why I usually say 8-10ml+-...more with lighter juices, less with darker/sugary juices...
