I rode the House Blend bandwagon for a while. I've compared it to red velvet cake... noticeably chocolaty but not chocolaty enough to be called "chocolate" if that makes sense? I've still got 15mls worth but I haven't felt the urge for it in a while. Too much other good stuff out there ;)

Gold was the only one I cared for. It's strangely addictive for some reason.
Gold was sold out by the time my mule ordered it. Sorry I haven't tried it because it sounds like the sort of desserty tobacco I would love.

Got my want 2 Vape care package/sample pack. So far I am trying the RY4 and I am liking that way different from the Winston juice I have been using. I am going to leave the tobacco flavors till next week. Next is the Peach.

Question is there a way to clean out a cartomiser after you run a flavor through it?

All over the place
can you clean it out enough to run an different tobacco flavor through it? I figure running peach through it would never work.

Cartos can have other flavors run thorugh them successfully, but you have to approach it like a dj would putting on another record -- you don't want to kill the party with a clash of BPMs or contrary vibes. So, if you want to move from NLV Gold to maybe Smooth Criminal, that could work. Or, GeJ Patriot to GeJ GJ4, but not NLV Gold to Pluid or some crazy disparate flavors like that!!!!!!!!

So to clean one out do you do like a vodka bath for a bit and then let dry out?

Something like that. The main problem is removing the gunk that accumulates in the coil, because you can't dry burn cartos. So if you vape one of W2V's NET's on one of them, you won't be able to remove or change flavors. That's why I prefer to use clearomizers instead.

you use warm water to clean out one of those right?

I rinse out with hot water then let them soak with iso alcohol 70% for a few days then rinse with hot water and let them dry for however long it takes.Now I do this with cartos I have been using awhile to clean coils not just to change a flavor.Most of the time come back pretty friggin good.Too lazy to do this often so only do this with a bunch of cartos every blue moon if $$$ tight.

Here is my cleaning "method" for cartos:

Stick a toothpick or a bamboo skewer in the air tube.
Run water through the carto repeatedly until it runs clear.
Shake it hard until it no longer sprays water drops with every shake.
Place it connector-side up on a paper towel and allow to dry overnight.

I did this for a while until I decided that the time and labor involved was worth far more than the $2.20 it cost me to buy a fresh new one.

Your opinion may differ. Whatever you choose, let us know how it works.

I'm so tight I save every carto I use if savable and throw in a to be cleaned bag after rinsing them out and put condoms on them.But like Scarface don't clean them to often not worth my time.

I have got several friends into vaping lately and have showed them how to clean them and tell them if they clean mine they can have half of them:)
