Has anyone tried this cart cleaning trick?

[jdvorr]

Okay so most everything has been tried already, but this works pretty well.
I started cleaning my carts in a 10 ml syringe. Just pop the mouth piece caps out, take the plunger out of the syringe and drop the cart in battery side down. put the tip of the syringe in a bowl of hot water and work the plunger as many times as you want. It seems to flush them out pretty well.

Sounds interesting my syringe is only a 3ml, too small for that

If you know any nurses or hospital employees. they can grab you one.

yep i've done it that way cleans them really good also you can ron the needle down the side of the filler and flush any extra liquid traped in the bottom

That's a really clever technique. I'll have to give this a try when I get back home.

I put on oring on the syringe tip and push the carto against it and flush hot water through the carto.

I tried it, it works good. I think it would work better if was tighter fit though.

Cutting the end off of a condom and slipping it over the carto would probably help some. Don't make it so tight you can't pull it out!

I suppose that would help some, not sure.....there is a lot of water flow around the cart. Still it does work very well.

Yeah I read about your syringe technique. Wanted to try it, but I only have blunt needles and I can't get them down into the batting.

I clean mine with a household steamer. that way no chemicals needed. Hold the atomizer in a pair of pliers. put the nozzel against the cart end, and steam it for about thirty seconds, and its like new. Dry as usual.

I also tried a former post suggestion, to swing the wet cart in a bag to dry. That also worked great .In about a minute I was vaping.

Have you seen the comercial where a lady seams around the burners of her stove? No attachments needed . it is built like a small kettle, with a long 18 inch hose and a narrow spout on the end.
