drying cartos, sound stupid!!

ok, newb here! Learning curve too! I use stainless xl DCC's, they take about 2 ml of juice. Ive just been grabbing new ones when I can tell that the other ones are yuck, waiting to clean them. Problems are as follows...
I top off when 4-6 drops are needed cause I can kind of taste the metal.
when it starts to 'pull hard' there are a couple ml's in there, not good, waste!!
I either should have had some sort of 'marking system', or just try to use a couple at a time BECAUSE...

I got tired of messing with which ones were 'well used', slightly used. etc.
sooo... I threw them ALL in a pot of RODI (I have a reef tank!) water, boiled twice, etc. IMO that was a LOT of liquid to boil away!! Takes 2 ml to fill, top off every12 or so 'draws', gets tight and I clean! Not very economical!! I think, rather than grabbing a new carto all the time, toggle just between a couple so that I know where I am in stages of usefullness! darn, I probably just boiled away 15 ml of juice!! gotta fns a better way!!

MY BAD!!! my post was because I boiled them twice, then put them in a thick sock, tied the top and put it in the dryer with the rest of the laundry!! Will let u know how it turns out!!!
WOW, 47-yrs-old getting WAY off my original topic!!!

LOL Sounds interesting. I throw mine on a piece of foil in the oven on 'warm' for about 15 minutes or so. Works good enough. The things we come up with!

That's funny. I'll have to try the toaster oven!

I would take them out of the sock first
