How do I Dry a Carto?

[mmoss2]

I've been vaping for 5 months now, but I haven't had any luck cleaning and drying cartomizers. I wash them out by soaking in vodka for 15/30 min (with my attys) and then dry them on a paper towel over night. The cartos always end up water-logged ..... When I fill them with juice, it's so diluted that it doesn't produce any vapor. Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong? I can dry burn my atty to make sure I get all the water out, but I don't want to do that with my cartos - worried I will scorch them. Help!

I haven't had that much luck with vapor production once cleaned/dried..but, you can place them in an oven on lowest setting for 1/2 - 1 hr or so to dry them.

just blow them out and put them in the oven on 150 for about an hour. can also place them in a bag with some dessicant. just buy some damp rid cut open the bag and poor some into a paper towel and put it in a bag full of wet cartos for a couple days. oven method is allot faster though.. i usually bake them then put them in a bag with dessicant just to be sure they're nice and dry. if you just put th

I usually swear at them profusely for not being dry yet, then I put them in the toaster oven at the lowest temperature (like the others mentioned).

While I do not have a dehydrator, there are several people who use those to dry their cartos. From what I hear it works pretty well.

I boiled a few cartos the other day and tried a trick that I saw on one of pbusardo's videos on YouTube.

When sets them to dry, he puts some rolled up paper towel in the open end to absorb the water. I tried this and found that it dried up my cartos alot quicker than just leaving them upside down on some paper.

I dry mine in a toaster oven. 225 degrees for an hour. After that I put them aside for at least a month before trying to use them again.

I give you girls and guys a lot of credit on all these cleaning and drying tips,but most people think I'm half crazy now and would freak if I started putting parts of my PV in the oven..
