need help on the best way to clean clear dual coil cartomizers, bought from nhaler.com

[kiggakid]

Hey guys. I bought 6 clear dual coil cartomizers from nhaler and I have been happily vaping these carts for about 2 weeks. So far, I have only used 3 of them out of the 6. I cleaned 2 of them so far with a 60cc syringe with a rubber tip and one of them performs 90% like it did before and the other one barely gives off any vapor. And the one that barely gives off vapor is the one that I have pumped through the syringe maybe 20 times to get it completely clean. Which I think is the reason why the cart got messed up. Now, these cartomizers are amazingly good. They vape very well and they hold a lot of liquid. They're also completely clear so you can see how much liquid is left. The only problem is..cleaning them...I don't want to have to use these carts only 2 to 3 times without cleaning them, then dump them after that. Using boiling water and a 60cc syringe doesn't really seem to work well with cleaning these carts. Is there any other way to get the gunk and pre existing flavor out of these carts?
And also, what other cartomizers do you guys use that performs well with a 3.7 mod? I was thinking about buying a pack of g4 cartomizers from avidvaper. But I heard they have some leaking issues..I would like to buy a cartomizer that doesnt have any filler material so that you can switch liquids without having to worry about mixing any unwanted flavors together.
Last set of questions: where is the cheapest site/vendor to buy a pack of clear dual coil cartomizers from?
As I stated before, I bought mine from nhaler. And avidvaper also sells them.
Who sells them at the cheapest price and are they all the same exact thing besides the price? These dual coils from nhaler are the only ones that I have purchased and they are excellent.
Would buying from other vendors be the exact same one?
The drip tips are different from nhalers and avidvapers. Thats the only difference I saw so far.
Thanks alot in advance fellas.

Cleaning a smoktech cartomizer.


crystalclearvaping.com is pretty reasonable and has free shipping.

G4's stink in my opinion.

The CE'2 clearomizer is the only other one that I can think of. However, you still need to clean it before changing flavors. They don't contain a filler but they have a wick in them.

thanks hairball! i've been wondering how to do that without messing up the filler. and thanks kiggakid for asking.

You can, and imo you should unroll the filler. Wash the filler, and the coils with the diapers on them. I do not recommend removing the diapers from the coils. I could not roll them back on the coils tight enough, and i tried it many times. This resulted on immediate burned taste, since the coils did not touch the diapers properly.
So be soft on them while washing it, not to unroll them.

why dont they make the metal ones where you can remove outer shield (ie on a thred)??
would make cleaning it much easier!!!

I bought some cart and atty cleaners form Smok Tek Welcome to SmokTek - The Better Smoking Alternative, they are syringes that have a rubber tube that goes over the filler end of the carts and attys and you just suck hot water in and push it out 5 or 6 times, then do it with some vodka to get the water out..and they have worked perfect, cleaned 6 last night in 10 minutes or so... excellent on the dual coil clear carts and the metal carts for the liquinator as well.

The G4's will still need a bit of a clean also btw, which isn't easy as the wicking element (where the flavour gets trapped IMO) is pretty much sealed off, save for maybe squirting down lots of hot water and allowing for a long dry time and plenty of dry burning afterwards.

I've literally just got some G4's just to try out, out in some sample liquid chocolate orange, which, sadly was absolute vile tasting stuff. Washed it out a bit and put in some strawberry candy floss instead, can still taste the horrible chocolate orange and I'm halfway through vaping it... Needed some serious cleaning in hindsight. plus side is: no leaking or juice in the mouth yet, but it's early days.

good info. thanks.

Thanks I've been wondering how to do that without messing up the filler

Kinda off topic but have some v4l xl batteries. Looking for a dual coil cart with filler. Got some from madvapes today in the mail that say they are 808 threaded but don't work with the v4l batteries. They do work with 808 generic batteries I have though. The post in the center of the cart of the v4l carts has a little slit which I assume is for airflow. These don't. I was thinking about trying to file a notch to achieve airflow. Anyone know if this might work?

My way to skin a cat; there are many.

I connect a one foot section of clear tube to DC and suck/blow hot H2O through DC.
Dry w/ shop vac because this sucks diapers and polyfill close to coil.
For super dry soak in PGA followed by shop vac.

I had problems w/ air compressor drying; I think it blew diapers away from coil.

I don't remove the tube unless I have to because mine crack after awhile.

thanks alot for the smoketech way to clean the carts but is there more ways to clean these? Is it okay to clean it with boiling water and a 60cc syringe like we do with regular cartomizers? Ive been using the 60cc syringe with a rubber tip on the bloog maxx fusion cartomizers and they perform fantastically. I guess I shouldnt just pump it more than 20 times like I did before. I also used BOILING and I mean BBBOOOIIILLLIIINNNGGG!!! hot water on my dual coil cart. Which left a nasty watermelon taste fused together with my new flavor..which is gourmet vanilla. It tastes so nasty that I might toss the juice thats in it. Theres no point in even using the lanyard taryn spin method to use the juice on another cart cause itll taste disgusting from fusing together with the watermelon that was previously in there.
So please, can anyone give me a 100% effective way to cleaning dual coil cartomizers?
I dont want to deal with lose tubes that spill my juice if I use the smoketech method. Itll be a waste of time and precious juice.
I need TH and VP to be at maximum level, as if it were brand new. Thanks alot in advance.

ooooh and also, no one answered my other question..
are all the clear dual coil LR cartomizers the same from every vendor?
so far, I know smoktech, kickbassvapor, avid vaper and nhaler sells them.
Are they all the same exact thing? I would like to buy it for the cheapest price, but not if
they're not the exact same thing. The driptips that they give are different, but that doesn't matter
to me at all. Just the fact if they are EXACTLY the same exact dual coil clear cartomizers made from the same
people that sell them, just different vendors that picked them up and sell it themselves.
Does the dual coils come from the exact same place? Made by that one exact company?
Haha I know it's alot of questions but it's all really just one general idea.
I'm very grateful for all the responses, it is very appreciated to get knowledgeable feedback.
