Cleaning the Carts without Boiling ?

[x3x]

Anyone know a good way to clean the carts ? i boiled them for 5 mins and 5 of my carts now dead

I use a method that I learned from Frick, I think. Get a turkey baster, and one of those rubber pencil holders. Heat some water to ALMOST boiling. Place the pencil holder on the end of the baster, and the carto in the other end. Draw water in, and shoot out into the sink. Do this until it comes out clear and doesn't smell like the juice that was in it. Next, blow air through the carto until you don't see water or mist coming out. Then, use either a Taryn spin or thermometer shake to get the rest of the water out. place cartos battery end down on a cookie sheet and bake in the oven at 170 for 2 hours. This will get the water that is wicked into the filler out. Take out of the oven and let cool. At this point, they are ready to fill with the liquid of your choice. If you have cartos that the atomizer is too gunked for this method to work, some people soak them in PGA or vodka to clean them. I have not tried that yet.

u can also soak the cartos in alcohol, preferably everclear, but i have done it with isopropyl (gotta be extra sure you dont smell any when using isopropyl). follow the same steps for after using the baster with water. blow the cartos out like crazy...like you are trying to blow up a bounce house lol. let em sit in the 170 degree oven for an hour or so. the alcohol will completely evaporate. the alcohol helps push out water in the cartos too. so you can rinse them under hot water first then soak in alcohol and then dry in the oven. final tip...if you do the thermometer shake, be sure to cover the end with a paper towel or something...otherwise you will fling liquid everywhere! lol May your vaping be long lasting!

Boil twice for 10-15 minutes,(rinse pot and cartos between boils) let cool, blow out excess water, bake at 170 for 20 min, let sit for 24-48 hrs. If the cartos you cleaned aren't working, they are probably still wet inside.

I know this is still the boiling method, but it works fine as long as you make sure to get them dry. I actually use an ultrasonic cleaner and PGA now as it is quicker and less trouble.
