Yeah, don't hurt the cute penguins! What else will I use for target practice?

I clean my battery threads with my finger nails. (just "screw" the battery betwixt thumb and index finger, then unscrew. Poof, clean.) I've never cleaned a carto before. I finally managed to kill one after 53 fills. (so I guess it's 52.some-fraction) [White blank]

As far as mopping, I built a robot to do that. I don't have time for menial labor, but I do have hundreds of hours to invest into building a robot to do the menial labor I don't have time to do. :oops:

What's the best way to clean batteries?


well, I can tell you that it definitely is NOT the washing machine! Trust me, I learned that the hard way! Dropping your battery in tequila doesn't work too well either!


(in reality, a little rubbing alcohol on a q-tip works great for me. don't drench it though! and sometimes I stick a toothpick in the holes to get whatever purse crud is hanging out in there. Eww, purse crud)


edit: considering, I rarely remember to clean my batteries (you know, the point of this thread) you may not want to take my advice

Guilty also, tho i did clean my batts a few days ago for the first time. But my big coffee can is getting full of used cartos:oops:

I love the coffee can idea! Thanks bunches!

OMG! If you lived closer I'd totally take you up on that! LOL! I don't mind mopping but laundry is something I dislike, espeicially the sorting/folding!:p

Only good thing that came out of my accident is that I no longer have to clean house. I now delegate! Being the boss is so much fun!!!

It's not being lazy. It's not procrastination. It's "stockpiling!" Those empty cartos are being "collected" as insurance in case of a ban. And the juice is being "conserved" for the same reason. If your batteries are becoming difficult to vape with, just put them with your emergency stash of carts and juice and get out a new one. (if you don't have extra batteries, you are not adequately prepared and must place an order NOW) That way if a ban ever does happen, (shudder) you have all of the items you'll need! That's what I'm telling myself... :rolleyes:

Rocks; If you don't go fill your cart' RIGHT NOW!!! I'm going to have Leaford answer this post.8-o8-o8-o8-o8-o

Like I'm one to scold anyone for not doing their "chores." :lol:

The only carts I fill these days are the ones I have to fill for flavor testing. For my own vaping I use filled carts only. ;)

What is the best way to clean a carto? I tried rinsing 2 of the flavors I got in sample packs that I just couldn't handle, but I can't get rid of the flavor.

I haven't cleaned any of my cartos, and I just tossed the ones with flavors I didn't care for. For the keepers, I put the condoms back on and threw them in a box. When I order some Mint juice, I'll put it right on top of all the various chocolate flavored carts; I think the hint of chocolate will be yummy :)

Can't order til my check hits the bank tomorrow morning. **fidget**

Darn ... when I saw this thread I was hoping for something juicey! :D :D
I have to admit that I have ... uhh ... never cleaned my batteries and yes I know they are way overdue! Tonight ... for sure ...
I'm with you there, Leaford! Absolutely nothing beats a fresh, prefilled from the factory cart! When I finally get through my stockpile of juice, I'm there!! Well .. maybe I'll have to place a smallish order just to treat myself ... ;)
