Question about Cartos / attys drying out

[JTman]

Hey everyone. I have read in other threads from people saying not to let your attys dry out. I understand that attys come with primer fluid on them, is this to keep them "wet" so as to not let them dry out?

Lets say, for example, I get 2 atty's with my 902 starter kit. Say I use one with a tobacco cart and another with a menthol cart. Say I dont care for the tobacco flavor and decide to smoke on just the menthol carts for a while. What should I do with the unused atty. Should I keep rotating them around or should I put some kind of primer on the unused one to keep it in good working condition while it sits on the sidelines?

I also ordered some carto's. Do the same principles apply to carto's as they do for atty's?

Thank you all in advance. I want to be sure I don't damage or ruin any of my new gear. Hopefully it gets here tomorrow!!

JT, you can just rinse out the atty in hot water or let it soak in Isopropyl Alcohol for a few minutes to clean them. What is meant by not letting them get dry is while you're using them. Dry atty's can, and will, pop if you try vaping while they're dry. They ship with primer on them to protect them in transit. You should blow this out before using them for the first time. Once you've started using them, you should let them dry thoroughly after washing them. Just "prime" with juice before you start vaping with again.

Ok awesome. That makes a lot more sense to me than what I was thinking before. Thanks so much for clearing that up. So much to learn and not enough free time in the day!

No worries! We were all new, confused, and had to ask questions. Even I had to ask what in the hell to do before using a new atty!
