Cleaning carts/mouthpieces

[CZEdwards]

This is a silly, easy thing, but...

When I vape, I tend to prefill carts, and when I'm done (especially if I'm out) they just get capped or bottled (for the VX2 carts) and dropped in my bag until I get home. I can also get lazy/busy at home, so I end up with these sticky, almost empty carts.

So cleaning them becomes imperative. Take a small jar with a tight-fitting lid. Cover the carts with water (hot or cold) and add approximately 1 mouthful (the cup-cap works for this) of mouthwash -- we're using one of the blue listerines right now -- and a generous dollop of hydrogen peroxide. Cap the jar and shake until everything foams.

Drain through a mesh colander. Rinse. Dry with cotton swaps or air-dry. Before, I'd take out the wadding material and soak it in ethanol (cheap vodka), then rinse, but I had one cart slip through today. The wadding came out clean and ready to dry and refill.

Sounds like work....

I've been saving all my carts and caps too, been wondering what to do with them. Seems like a waste to just throw them all away when they can be restuffed and refilled. I just have lots of supplies and no need to do it yet.

Thanks for the good ideas, I'll keem them in mind!

I just take everything apart and run hot water through everything. I tend to do about 10 carts at a time and then fill them all at once after tehy dry.

I tend to stay with just two carts a day and refill as needed. I have one cart for my daytime juice, the other for my nightime flavor. Every couple of days I rinse the cart and filler in hot water and let air dry. About once a week I wash the cart with Lysol cleaner to really disinfect it, give a hot water rinse and air dry. When the cart or filler starts to get a little worn, I replace it.
