how often do you replace your cart filling

[bob123]

or the tip itself. What do you replace it with, how do u keep them in good shape or clean them

 

[Hoosier]

I used to clean the filling, but the huge bag of filling I've got from Walmart has made that silly. I replace it once a week in my carts.

I also use the blue foam mod. Some juices work better with the poly fill and some work better with the blue foam.

 

[bob123]

what do you refill with i asked u in another threadd to

 

[beecee]

sounds like he uses poly fill and blue foam.

You can get foam at the pet store in the fish tank section. I got the Aquaclear filter foam and it works great.
Some use the fluval foam filters which look to me to be the same material

thanks ive just been using the same carts and filling just rinsing the filling out every few days thats it

I use Fluval (fish tank filter) and use a single cart for a week (Mon - Sun). I have maybe 15 or 20 carts currently in rotation.

Here's my routine:

I throw my used empty carts in a cup and, when I've collected enough of them, I soak them for a few hours (or overnight) in Listerine, rinse, and allow to dry. Then I restuff them all at once with Fluval.

Then on Monday morning, I take out the old Fluval from the cart used during the previous week, throw the cart in my cup, and grab another one I had previously restuffed. Then I fill it with liquid, and off I go.

I do exactly Like Greg H. does. I find it is easier that way. I use PTB or the Fluval for my carts.

Second Greg and Tara, that's what I do. I also use the Fluval and the PTB. I think I have better consistency with the PTB though.

I use hot water, a little liquid dish detergent and a small test tube brush. I rinse them with hot water and leave them on a towel to dry. Then I replace the filler with Fluval.

I throw mine - the carts - in rum (lol) for a bit then hot hot water (not boiling) to rinse and air dry.
The polyfill filler - when i use it - usually I drip - I just wash in warm/hot water, squeeze a few times then air dry on a paper towel and fluff em up.

I replace my blue foam mod about once a week but for office and home, dripping is my preferred. So mostly no cleaning for me.

 

[critterbug]

do you rotate atties, too? Or just carts/fill? People talk about cleaning their atties for different flavors.

I have one dedicated pretty much for fruits and one for 'everything else' lol Don't really clean them unless I get something really awful in there. Usually I just blow them out between flavors (but not always ).

Thanks, CaptJay! That answers the big question I've been mulling over.
