How to empty out my KR808 cartomizers of icky juices?

[minimouse]

Hi there ECF --
I started vaping a little over a week ago (and quit analogs at the same time) and have become a woman obsessed. I'm using a KR808 sealed automatic from smokeless image. I ordered two of smokeless image's sampler packs of pre-filled cartomizers (cherry vanilla, grape, watermelon and more)...and, for whatever reason, many of these taste pretty medicinal to me. I guess sweet flavors just aren't for me. So I ordered some new e-liquid from Backwoods Brew that I'd like to try instead. I know about the condom method to fill the cartomizers but...what about emptying them? How do I empty this cherry juice out and fill it with bwb's applewood tobacco?

Also, has anyone else gotten terrible insomnia? WIll it go away eventually? Is it just all the stress of the holiday season?

Thanks guys -- and happy almost-christmas to those of you who celebrate it.

Greetings minimouse and Happy Christmas to you. There are many youtube videos on cleaning cartos.(link below) For me it was better to see it done than reading a description. I only have insomnia at night it does not bother me during the day. lol

I haven't noticed an increase in my insomnia. I have that all the time anyhow. I have noticed that when I do finally sleep I don't drop cigarettes on the bedding so there's that.

Agreed with vaprhed. Many videos.

I am using applewood as I type. Hurry and get the carto cleaned out! I think you'll love the applewood!!

Welcome, Happy Holidays, and all the best with vaping !!

I am getting ready to clean out several cartos right now. I hate to waste juice so I am vaping them to the limit before I clean them.

Put a carto condom on the mouth end, put it in a ziplock bag with the condom downward, and sling it around in a circle. That will remove most of it. You might have to rinse it in hot water and let it sit for a few days to dry. Cherry is a hard flavor to remove so using a fresh carto may be the only way to go with your new juice.

As for insomnia, lower your nic level at night. Too much nic at bedtime can cause your body to stay too stimulated which results in walking around like a zombie. Been there, done that. Use a lower nic, vape less, or even 0 nic and you will be okay.

Happy Holidays to you.

I also had insomnia and am using 20 mg during the day. About 4+ hours before bedtime I switch to 10 mg and sleep like a babe. As for emptying cartos I use the Walmart.com: Apex: Oral Medication (Small) Syringe, 1 Ct: Home Medical -costs $2.00. It has a rubber cone that fits exactly over the carto and then can be tied to a string. I then use the Taryn Spin method WITH A CONDOM ON THE OPEN END. The syringe also has ml markings on it and can be used for DIY measuring but it's suggested you clear coat nail polish the numbers.

Merry Christmas

Buy the Smoktek carto cleaning kit - it's cheap
Cartomizer/Atomizer Cleaning Kit - With 10ml Control Syringe, Luer-lock compatible w/cleaning tubes and instructions

And you may need to try various methods to dry them. if you don't get a carto dry inside it won't work right. Some have t bake them in a oven around 175 degrees for hours
