Properly Draining Pre-Filled Carto's ?

[g33k]

Ok, so I've recently purchased a few sets of carto's for 510 and after tasting the liquid in them I am not too pleased. The carto's are good and work wonders but I cannot seem to get the juice out of them w/out vaping the heck out of it.

I've tried running water and draining on a paper towel with no success. I've even tried boiling water for a few minutes and still no luck.

I have a mixture of both hard caps and soft caps. As for the soft ones I have had better luck getting most of it out, but the hard cap ones I'm baffled on.

Any thoughts or direction to point me in? Anyone? Hello Out there?

*tap* *tap* "Is this thing on?"

Just kidding of course, but I would like some help if anyone has been through this before. Links, vids, whatever it is that will help me for now I would really appreciate.

And yes, I do order blanks now but still have over 10 carto's laying around that I'd like to use

Have you tried to spin them? I use one of those old school sunglass string holders. The little rubber band on the end holds pretty securely... i would strap the carto from the battery end and put a condom top on the mouthpiece side, just not all the way down...leave a 1/4" gap at the top. then spin the cord around...that will get alot of it out.

First off....Love the hatchet man (Juggalo)! Boogie Woogie Woogie! lol!

I've often thought about how to go about the "spin" method and have yet to come up with something that I can attach to the carto to withstand that much velocity. I love the idea and it just so happens that my 2 year old son just broke his glasses so we have an extra strap laying around! I'll give it a shot....sounds like it might be a feasible idea

Thanks and if there are any more ideas I'm still up to trying them all to get the best results. I'll post what I find once I give this a shot though.

the little velvet bag that some batteries come in makes the ideal whirelygig. I just put a cotoon ball in the bottom to soak up all the juice when I want to spin dry a carto. There are a couple sites around that sell the little bags seperately. Vapor Station is one...they are $3 No cartos there...but great e-juice!

Ok, so it seems that the "twirly" deal does the trick for me. I found a nice long piece of string that must be just the right diameter because I only have to do a half knot tie on the battery end of the atty. I figured for the hard cap ones I'd just tear 'em out and when the soft cap carto's go bad I'd have some soft caps to put in their place.

I just go outside (so I don't have e-juice dripping down my walls) when I take my dogs out and start twirling away! I've found that a good couple of minutes works well, but what is even better is bringing it back inside, filling it up with a little warm water and doing it all over again. Taste of the nasty liquid is about 90% gone...which is WAY better then I thought I'd end up with.

Thanks all for the ideas! It worked wonders....now I don't have to throw away 10 carto's

If you put the silicon condom (halfway only) on the mouth end of the carto, you'll collect the offending juice in it, No mess, no fuss, empty and repeat.
