Cleaning disposable clearo issues

[Cstock]

So I attempted to clean a Halo G6 mini tank a couple days ago. I cleaned it out really well with hot water and set it out overnight to dry. I checked on it in the morning, but the wicks still looked wet. So I decided to let it sit out longer. I gave it the rest of the day before I checked on it again (about 24 hours now). Well the wicks still looked kinda wet, but I figured I would be okay. Everything I looked up beforehand had said just a few hours would be enough. So I loaded it up with the last of my midnight apple sample (my fav juice so far), tried to puff it, and... Nothing. Nothing at all. I was devastated. I was able to salvage some of the juice by carefully transferring it to a carto, and that's what I vaped on the way to work this morning.

I'm going to try to clean it again tonight, but I think the issue was that there was still water in the wicks. So my question is:

What can I do to speed up the drying process? It seriously looked like those wicks were never going to dry... Is there a special way I can lay the mini tank down or something? I'm a college age guy living with two other guys and I don't think any of us has a hair dryer. Is there some other way I can speed the drying process up?

Thanks to everyone in advance

I'm not familiar with the Halo G6 mini tank, so I'll ask if the heads in these are replaceable? If you are unable to remove the heads from the tank it's going to be difficult, if not impossible, to dry them out quickly. You could alternate two of these and when one needs cleaning, swap it out with the other one. This way you can let the cleaned one sit to dry for as long as it takes.

Yeah they're disposable and you can't change the heads. I have 2 of these and 5 e-smarts (also disposable) that I keep on rotation, so I'll be fine with just waiting it out. So I guess there's no magical solution then haha. Oh well.

I'd take a hair dryer to the clearo and run it for about 1-2 minutes to dry it out faster.

Yeah that's what I read elsewhere as well. I'll have to give that a try if I can find a hair dryer...

Use PGA or cheap vodka to clean, removes flavors, loosens / removes coil gunk, evaporates quickly.

You can vape through the water - about 5 minutes.

I suggest you try one of these or something similar:

$3.05 Authentic Innokin iClear 16 Top Coil Clearomizer (1.6ml) - translucent / 2.1

$8.28 Authentic Innokin iClear 30 Dual Coil Cleaomizer (3.0ml) - translucent at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Those cheap clearos/tanks seem to cost more in the long run.

If you use FT plan ahead - expect 3- 4 week delivery.

Definitely going to try this. As a senior in college I have an essentially endless supply of the stuff. It flows like the fountain of youth around here despite the god-awful taste...

I'm currently using the halo G6 battery. 808 threads and larger type cig-a-like battery. I don't really plan on upgrading to anything larger either (love the size), so my options for clearos are pretty limited. Thanks for the help though.

It seems silly to buy disposables, when you can buy these https://www.fasttech.com/products/1594202 for a disposable price and do your own recoiling. OOPS! Do you have an adapter?

Otherwise, for 808, go here: Smokeless Image

I don't have an adapter yet but will probably be getting one soon!
