Hi all, wow - two newbie issues in less than 3 days. Just typed this whole message and then timed out and lost it all. So here I go again. Since I believe there are some here that may not read the Older than 55 folks - I will include a bit of an intro - the big long intro is in the other thread.
As I said I am pretty new to vaping, started on Oct 30th with en ePuffer Colibri (yah, had to have on that was like a real cigarette) - but it did work well enough to show me that this could work.
I then found this thread and read all the great information here. Ordered a kit with two 650 mah eGo Twists, stardust clearomizers and battery charger. I also ordered some Kanger cartomizers, Kanger T2 clearomizer and a Vivi Nova along with another 1000mah Twist battery and a PCC.
Since the Twists arrived on Nov 22 I have not an a single cigarette - and I still can't believe I am not smoking after 46 years of steady puffing a PAD+. For the most part the stardusts, the Kanger T2 and the Vivi Nova are all working. But I did have my first issue with a stardust on Friday night. I filled the stardust (in a hurry) I was using with the RY4 juice that seems to be the best for getting me past any desire to smoke.
I did vape it during the drive - but just as I arrived at my destination - the battery dies. Oh - but I was prepared, I disconnected the battery and attached the stardust to the other twist battery I brought with me and put the dead battery into the PCC to charge.
So - on my second trip outside with my friend - we were in a non smoking building and she is still smoking - but that is another story - on my last vape - I got a mouthful of ejuice

. So after we were inside I took the stardust off and it looked like it might have leaked some ejuice on the battery. I set it on a napkin and it did leak a bit. So I put it in a baggie in case it was going to leak more.
So sad - I had a spare battery, my PCC and even a baggie to bring the leaking stardust home - but I didn't bring another stardust or even a cartomizer

So - that is now two good lessons in 3 days - I won't make that mistake again. I just figured that since I had just filled the stardust and since I had to go outside to vape - it would be more than enough to last me the 4-5 hours I would be gone. Anyway - not a big deal - it just meant that I couldn't vape on the way home - but really only a 15 minute drive so for sure not the end of the world.
So - after this long winded intro - here is my question. Can I still use that stardust? I did dump out the remaining juice when I got home (into an empty bottle) and I rinsed it out with hot water and left it to dry until today. Not feeling to comfortable about trying the dry burn thingy - since I would have to pull the plastic cap off - but I guess if that is necessary - I will try it.
I am not sure if the leaking was because I was in a hurry and I didn't get the top back on properly or since it had been filled 2/3 times it just needed to be rinsed out. I kind of hate to throw it out - since it was only filled 2-3 times, was just a week old and when I pulled another new one out and filled it - the plastic seal (not the O ring) but the actual seal inside the tube - fell into the juice - right after I filled that stardust. I pretty much figured it would never get back into place to seal properly - these are the CE4's and not the ones that are re-buildable. So - had to dump out more juice and start with another new stardust.
I guess can now see what some of the frustration with these can be - but I do like how they vape. I have tried the Kanger horizonal coil cartomizers and while ok - really not as good as the stardust or the Kanger T2. The verdict is still out on the Vivi nova - but that could just be the juice since it was a new flavor and it does seem to be very muted so I will have to try that flavor in a stardust to compare.
Oh - and if 70 is the new 40 - does that mean I am in my late 20's

don't think I want to go back there
