How to clean this cartomizer???

[Mr. SandMan]

Hey there,

I am relativley new to vaping, I have a had a regular 510 150mAh(with basic atty, and cartridges) for about a half a year now, but I have recently purchased a 900mAh vv lcd battery, along with a 3.5ml giant clear cartomizer.

3.5ml Clear Giant Cartomizer V2 (Upgraded) for 510/eGo [Disposable] - $6.00 : Healthcabin Electronic Cigarettes - Wholesale and Retail--

My question is how would I go about cleaning this sucker??

 

[zacxzac]

Good question

I had a lot of trouble trying to get my last one apart, and it broke before I needed to clean it.

I'll have a look now, as it is broken I might aswel get the thing apart, right?

The rubber gasket comes out - give it a good twist with some decent tweezers.

Then just clean/dry burn as per any other ce2

 

[Mr. SandMan]

Thanks for the tips, when you mean dry burn, you mean just burn cartomizer without any juice after cleaning???

Run under faucet with hot water, low pressure or faucet on low mode rinse with hot water a few times you wicks will turn white again. dry out with hair dryer lightly for a few seconds then do a dry bur till you see your wire glow orange then stop, use a pulsing method while dry burning on/off-on/off and stop as soon as you see your wires glow orange, go no further, put two drops of liquid on the wire in the ceramic cup, then refill and vape away, may take a few vapes for it to get going but once it does your good to go. that's how I do mine anyways, hope it helps

Thanks for the tips, jsut out of curiosity, what kind of carots are u using?

 

[zacxzac]

these

 

[Mr. SandMan]

ok...can you be more specific?

 

[zacxzac]

I was just kidding man!

Currently same as above, the clear giants in question.
Waiting on the new stardust from gotvapes, should be here soon.

But otherwise, the CE2 from healthcabin usually sorts me out, altho it's a bit more hassle with leaking and cleaning.

Update on that: Just successfully took mine apart, cleaned, dry burnt and re-assembled.

Vapes like new, few marks on the tube from it being too hot tho. No biggie.

Overall it was a similar experience to other cartos' - a little fiddly, but worth it.

 

[Mr. SandMan]

lol didn't realize you previously posted. Thought maybe there was a trick to cleaning cartos using carrots lol like the old "use an onion to clean a bbq" trick lol Thanks for the extra tips, do you have to be extra carfeull when you are dry burning the carto?

Also since you seem to be familiar with HC products, have you tried 3.5ml 510 DCT?

If you have, does it fair any better than the clear giants?

 

[zacxzac]

I haven't tried that one yet, I've heard pretty good things about it. I'd recommend checking them out, pretty cheap anyway.

Basically all the sites sell more or less the same products, just with different branding.
That particular item has had pretty good reviews all-round tho.

I use mostly the clear giant or the ce2 giantomizer, which seems to be out of stock.

Currently waiting on an order from gotvapes for my stardust something-or-rather, should be the next craze but no-one can get stock of the things.
