Extracting juice?

[SKYYcamel]

Ok guys and gals. I have a question. What if, God forbid, you get a cartomizer with a flavor you just don't care for? Is there a way to get the juice out so you can still use the cart for another flavor? I was gonna try to do it myself, but I wanted to see if anyone already had a good method. Thanks.

I have had decent success with running the cart under warm water, with the stoppers pulled out, for a few minutes to clean it out. Then either blow it out with an air compressor, not compressed air in a can, or let it sit out until it dries completely. Then refill with juice of choice

I've actually had great success blowing in the mouth end and holding a paper towel under the battery end. Just keep on blowing until the gurgling stops and the liquid stops soaking the towel.

Unless it is a VERY strong flavor - you're good to refill. Otherwise as stated above, I would rinse with warm water, blow out thoroughly again and let air dry for several hours before refill.

Take care!

DO you leave the amtomizer part in it ? and / or does this affect the atomizer?

Yep, just take off the end cap and the little rubber stopper, rinse, dry and refill. Leave everything else in place. I have not noticed any adverse effects on the atomizer or the polyfill. I actually do this after vaping a cart of one flavor and want to replace with a different flavor. Ensures that I only get that one flavor and not a combination of two.

I hope to have blank carts next week, hopefully 3rd time is a charm

Very nice! This will make it much easier to get my banana fix.

Wash them out with warm water, wring the excess out. Then place in some layers of paper towel and squeeze like the dickens. Gets almost all of it out. You can actually use it at this point, but it's better to let air dry for a while.

That would totally rock!!! Sell them in like a pack of 10 or something.

Has anyone use a hairdryer to dry out the cleaned carts? Does that work?

I used Haplo's method on 5 carts this morning, and it worked just fine. (Turns out Cognac flavor just ain't for me.)

I also tried Cognac. Not for me either. Time to clean out that cart and use it for something else.

I used the same method to empty out 2 carts last night. I immediately refilled them without drying.

I think drying would probably be a waste of good vaping time.
