Hi I just received an IB tank 19mm XL eventually can the cartos be cleaned?? I saw videos about boiling them for 5 minutes is it true??
or do you recommend another method?? Thanks in advance.

If they arent burnt tasting you boil them 15 min at a time until the juice is out of them - just search on you tube for it. Phil Busairdo (sp) has a really good vid.

I recommend just pitching them in the trash. They will never be good as new after cleaning.

I spent $5 - 6 a day on cigarettes when I smoked. A $2 cartomizer should last you 1 - 3 weeks. I feel no remorse throwing a spent carto away.
I understand completely and feel the same way but I was curios to see if there was a way to expand their life span.

I've boiled mine and after a few days' drying they seem fine.....EXCEPT it seems you can never fully get the taste of the old juice out of them. That's one reason I prefer clearos, but a cart is great for trying a new juice that you don't know if you're going to like. I've tried one or two that were so nasty I never could get them palatable again, and wound up throwing them out anyway. But in general you can get at least another week or so out of them by boiling.
