How do you clean your cartomizer

[Shany]

I'm new to vaping and I just try some cartomizer but I would like to know how do you clean them. Any suggestion would be very nice. I have some almost new with flavor I dont like.

Boil some water put it in a bowl, take a syringe and mod it so your cart fits in the needle end without the needle, then put the carto on the end of the syringe and dunk it in the water and pull the syringe back and pull the boiling water up through the carto then flush it out, repeat repeat repeat, this is the best way I have found, some people just boil them but the syringe really gets them extra clean flushing them out with the boiling water you will get it very clean.

Do a search on YOUTUBE for 'cleaning cartomizers' and you will get a bunch of hits that show and explain how to do it.

I do all of this and then I dry burn. I put the carto on my passthrough and press the button for a few seconds, then release, let it cool for a few seconds and do it until I see the coil burning red. I have also taken a tool to scrape the coil, but oh so gently (I honestly don't recommend this unless you are experienced cuz you can break the coil) and this will take off excess carbon that boiling and dry burning won't cure.

Welcome to the wonderful world of vaping, Shany!

Re: the above post...please bear in mind that you should never dry-burn a standard 510 cartomizer, like a Boge. Any carto that has filler in it should never be dry-burned. Doing that would burn & ruin the carto permanently.

I believe Danesnpits was referring to CE2 cartomizers...which have no filler. Dry-burning those is no problem. Opinion is divided on how good or bad these are (but then, that's true for standard cartos too...and lots of things). Personally, I love the Boges and hated the one experience I had with filler-less CE2's. But that's just me.

Could you show us a photo of your cartomizers, Shany? Were they pre-filled, or did they come to you empty? It'd be helpful to know what model your e-cig is as well.

Hello Rachel and thank you for the welcome. Sorry my english is so bad lol.

I have the boge low resistance carto and the dual coil carto. I buy them at crystalclear vapor in US. I have them ship to my us adress and pick them up last week when I went to Burlington. They were empty so I can put the flavor I like. Dont ask me wich one I prefere I think they are similar both give a good flavor and great TH. The advantage of the Dualcore is that they are bigger so less filling. I use them on a egobattery 1300mah and dont have any problem exept that they drain the battery faster then the regular carto. But it's worth it.
