I must be the lazy one of the bunch. I just soak several cartos in some cheap vodka, then run hot water thru them at the faucet. Blow them out and sit battery end down to dry. Almost as easy as the condum-fill method for filling. Too busy vaping and posting to go to a lot of trouble, but still using my cartos from 1st carto order in November. Am I going to get salmonella, or legionnaires, or botulism? Oh well, I will die a happy vaper.

Bogey, I too am originally from Bloomington. You must not have seen my post on your welcome thread.

I've heard and seen some good things about cleaning with vodka in an ultrasonic cleaner made for jewelry. blow out excess, dry burn a bit, put in an oven at 200F for 20 minutes or so, let sit over a night, you should be good to go.

I've been wondering about the value of drying, because I've just been running hot water through them followed by vodka, and spinning them dry via the taryn spin and filling them up with juice. I've also used the ultrasonic cleaner with hot water followed by a spin, vodka rinse and spin again. Both work well for me so far. Why wait to dry? Sorry if I'm missing something.

Ultra sonic cleaner? Sounds like some soap and/or chemicals. Not for me. I prefer to limit things in my cartos to things I would drink.
I can wait for them to dry. I have plenty of cartos so I am not needing to use right away. But if you are needing those cartos.....spinning will do it.

hehehe...Gram....you don't have to use soap and stuff in those things...when cleanin cartos, it's just plain water....I used to use one for my jewelry (when I had it...lol...kitties eat it, did ya know?). I'd use toothpaste to clean and then stick them in the ultrasonic cleaner with hot water to rinse and to knock anything I may have missed off:) In any case it is less work the way you are doin it......:)

I only use plain water when cleaning in a jewelry cleaner. No need for any type of chemicals.
