Getting rid of menthol flavor in carto?

[Mr Pickle]

So I just received my pack of ELiquidXpress 510 cartos (menthol) and they are badass. Giving me a major headrush like an analog, but very little vapor. I also bought a 12mL of Honey Flu Cured and it's AMAZING.

Question: What are the chances of me being able to get rid of the menthol flavor COMPLETELY and filling one of these things with HFC?

Possibly if you boil it quite a few times. Post actually got me interested in trying a honey flavor with a lil menthol background, sounds tasty!! I think I may order some HFC and experiment with some menthol. Either way I always see great things said about the HFC!

Also I mixed the menthol+HFC and it's pretty good. Still poor vapor production though. I'm going to add some Boba's Bounty to the mix and see how she blows.

i've heard that menthol is difficult to get out of anything.
I'd just keep putting tobacco in it & see if it eventually withers away...........

thanks for the suggestion on their cartos btw

I wouldn't say that I "recommend" these. Keep in mind that these are my first cartos I've ever tried. However in the future I'd probably go with Vapor4life premium KR808 or maybe ecigexpress CE2 XL clearomizers. Just from reviews alone they seem to be superior to the LiquidXpress cartos that I have.

Generally I just jam a 5ml syringe into a drip tip and pull really hot water in & out several times, then shoot air through it the same way a dozen or so times to dry it out. Some flavors will "never go away", but I haven't found menthols to be too terribly tenacious. Also, a tiny bit of residual menthol on top of something else isn't generally terrible, IMO.

I have never been able to get menthol Completely out of a carto, however I was a menthol analog smoker for 22 years so menthol is something I generally mix with everything anyways. I must say though that one of my Favs is Pink Spot Vapors Honey Cured Tobacco with Menthol mixed in, even some of my Non Menthol vaping buddies like it together

An overnight soak in vodka and then putting the carto into the freezer for an hour has done the trick for me in getting out menthol flavors.

This is pretty accurate.

What is the freezer part for?

Well, IMO it's basically impossible to get rid of menthol or most flavors from cartos completely. I think that would be especially true for pre-filled. So, the other option you have would be to get new blank cartos. They're really cheap and so it's not going to hurt your pockets if you decide to go this route.

I had a bunch of menthol cartos that I got with my first ecig kit and after I tried one I decided to just use the cartos for other juices so I boiled them about 3 times after soaking them in 91% alcohol and that seemed to work pretty well. I won't recommend the alcohol now, I'd use the Vodka instead and then boil them at least three times-15 minute boil-dump water-repeat. If you watch Pbusardo's carto cleaning video, he shows a method of determining when all the flavor is gone from the cartos by watching the boiling bubbles pattern change. It worked for me.

I'm not sure how it works, but try it and you'll be surprised.
