Just gave that some thought......but that is not how a vape and I dont carry my go-go around so the 3 click would not happen by accident
Nice report. Thank you.
I believe cleaning the carts does compress the filler. I also believe tap water could decrease filler performance if the tap water has any impurities in it .
I normally drink bottled water but it might be time for me to get a filter system for the tap water.
Any thoughts on this?

First post other then the 5 I had to put up in the new members section....
I have been vaping since wifey's birthday (Feb 16th). I started on ego tanks. That was ok but I had a lot of problems with cleaning the atties and the burnt taste. I lurked on this forum a lot and got really interested in the go-go and I have been using it for about a week. Had to file down the charger and ever since I have been a happy go-go user. I am having trouble with cartos working after cleaning... very poor vapor and not much flavor, has anyone came up with the best way to clean these things? Thanks!

Forgot to mention.... 2 packs a day for 20 years, quit immediately upon receiving my ego. Got my go-go last week from cigeasy, I think it's the third rev.
i hold mine under a stream of warm water from the faucet for about 10 minutes and let em dry.
they perform like new.
i have about forty of the cartomizers. I didn't know they would last forever.

poor vapor sure sounds like the filler is not as dry as you'd like. There are several ways to accelerate the drying...spinning, blowing, baking, etc.
Personally I have found it easier, quicker and more efficient to go ahead and remove the filler. In this way you can rinse the coil very well and get everything virtually bone dry in moments. The only issue is that you need to fiddle a bit to get the filler back in around the center air tube. But even that is pretty easy once you master wrapping the dry filler around something that is the same size/slightly larger than the air tube, mating them up and sliding the filler down...using a twist with a little paper clip poking and prodding near the end. Just go down until the filler and the tube are again back at the same height.
I know that many would likely not want to bother with this way, but it's an alternative and works very well. Even gives you a chance to dry burn the coil, both for cleaning those extra gunky juices as well as accelerated drying.
I tried to take the filler out of one and it was a mess trying to get it back in and I gave up. It would be nice to have someone do some videos of cleaning and fixing these things back.... I guess all of that will come in time. Thanks!
I hear ya ChrisMan - my first one was a disaster as well. But then I stepped back and realized...you can get better with practice, but until then these are almost bullet proof. My first I just shoved the filler back in and it worked fine. Looked like hell, but worked.
Until then, use very hot water to rinse. Blow thru both ends..a LOT. Maybe use a turkey baster as a bellows of sorts. There is also what's called the "Taryn Spin" which basically spins the carto from the end of a string which uses centrifugal force to drive out something like 99.99% of the water. I've never used it but a video is HERE. I don't know how much of this is required, but it's to give you an idea. Also, you can do this with multiple cartos at once, as long as you have secured them properly.
At the end you can opt to bake the spun/blown cartos in the oven at 250-300 for an hour.
This is not an end-all on carto cleaning, but hopefully this helps.
Sorry I didn't view the whole video before posting. It's long and also shows how to force new juice down into a carto by turning the carto the other way, which is really not needed on the GoGo cartos.

I would like to congratulate you for quiting smoking after 20 years and for choosing a great PV to start your vaping experience. Welcome to the Go-Go Nation! I don't clean mine very often in fact I've only cleaned one since I got my Go-Go and it lasted for 20 refills before I started getting low vapor and needed cleaning. It didn't work real good afterwards either but I haven't tried removing the filler and cleaning it that way yet. I figure 10 days and 20 refills I'm getting my 3,00 worth. I think the type of juice you use may require cleaning more often than others.
Thanks Tx.... I really loved smoking, I tried to quit so many times and always failed, I think this vaping thing may do it though, I'm really enjoying it (almost too much). I am using good prophets 100% vg and it just tastes great! I'm sure some pg might make things flow smoother but at 3 bucks a piece I think I'll risk it. It seems to be producing great vapor especially with the low res carts I got today... We'll see how it goes, Thanks!
If you have one that you can't get the filler back in you can still use it to test different juices by just dripping 3or 4 drops in it.
I've never used 100% VG but I know you will probably have to clean more often. I use 80 pg 20 vg and it doesn't gunk up the coil and wicks real well but we are all different and whatever you like and works for you is what is important. Keep us posted on your experience because we all learn from one another.

ChrisMan congrats on your new journey! A lot of us have done what you are starting to do. I wish you all the luck. Every now and then I'll accept an analog offer and within just a few drags realize that I don't like that flavor anymore. Wow! ecigs taste much better than analogs!!!!
Today I received my adapters for the Go-go from Cig Easy. See the picture below. With Adapter 1 I can use my KR808D-1s to test new juices. With Adapter 2 I can put my Go-carts on my passthrough and save my Go-batts!
