Ok so everywhere Ive read that when you clean your clearomizer you have to let it dry - why ? and what happens if you simply refill your clearo without letting it dry ? Would using vodka over water change the outcome ?
Let it dry - or else !?

a vodka cleaning could help avoid the dilution i would assume as there is already alcohol in alot of juice - and if dilution is a problem you could probably diy a juice to compensate for it .. maybe ? Any other imput ? - im more worried about damage to the pv
Guess what! You can wash old juice out with water because the juice is water soluble. Well if the juice dissolves in water, guess what water does in juice. Matter of fact if you look at the ingredients listed on the label of your juice, you will probably find water listed.
So the "let them dry first" gets over played sometimes. Sure, you want to get out as much water as you can, but there is no need for them to be bone dry.

Water trapped inside can be conductive and will likely result in a short. Overall water and electricity don't mix.
Shake/spin out as much water as possible. Allow to dry. Vape
Now if you just have a bit of damp left on your wick, what then? Fire it, It will make steam!
If you add juice before the wick is completely dry, the first few draws will steam off any water that hasn't become part of the juice. So pull/puff three times , then start to vape...
Have fun

Why? It will just create steam the first few times, and then dry burn just fine.
Tap water, unless you have really high levels of minerals / iron in it, is essentially non-conductive at vape voltages. Put some in a clean jar, put your multimeter on its highest ohm setting, and put the tips of the probes into the water. You'll see an "infinite" resistance display (often a series of 999s, or just a 1). That won't change until the probes touch each other.
I've worked on 480 volt equipment that used water as a coolant - piped (nonconductive pipes, of course!) between the buss bars. Yes, de-ionized and de-mineralized water, but that was 480 volts, not 4.8.
As long as you've removed most of the water, there should be no problem. Other than maybe weak or "off" taste the first few draws.

I rinse with water then soak for a few minutes in alcohol. I use a paper towel and "sponge" dry the wicks. I shake all the liquid out and blow thru the threaded end to clear the airway. Dry burn the wick, which will vaporize any water/alcohol left in the wick. Alcohol will dry quicker than plain water. I don't worry about totally dry wicks. The first few hits might be a little weak but then it's all good again.
I put mine back in use right away all the time. I try to get as much water off of them as I can, then fill um up. David is right the first, two or three puffs on the wetish wick will be off. The water left in the wick will burn off and the juice will flow and all will be good
The biggest problem I've encountered is severely muted flavor and vapor production until everything is completely dry.
I've gotten to the point where I rinse them, pat them dry with a paper towel, then if I am in a hurry I just load up a different juice and prime them. Seems to work great for me!
This...and I've never had a problem. I like to spin-dry mine using an e-cig lanyard with a rubber cap on the end to catch the water (some people use pill bottles with paper towel in the bottom...either works).
That said, cartomizers are so cheap that once they lose their flavor and start to gunk up I just throw them away and put in a new one.
What I'd really like to do is get my hands on some of these Atmistique for my cartotanks.
I guess mine are dry but I use them immediatly. I put them back together after vaportoweling the wicks dry and blow it all out then take it back apart wipe it down again and fill up with juice. I dont wait over night and never had a problem (this is with vivi novas and the likes)
