Quick question on dry out time for cartos

[NICnurse]

So, one quick question-- I washed my cartos yesterday afternoon (Monday), blew the excess water out of them, and put them into a huge vat of rice to dry out.

My new DIY juices will be here tomorrow (if I properly calculated my USPS stalking) . Of course I am super anxious and excited to mix away and try my new e-juice creations. Do you think my cartos will be properly dried out and ready to go tomorrow evening? It will have been 2 days they spend in a nice dry rice blankie.

Let me know what you think!!

Also, how long should I let the refilled cartos sit and "cure" to get the best flavor out of them?

Thanks everyone....you are all so amazingly helpful!!

Yes! I dry mine for 24 hours and they are very dry

If you find that they don't dry in time stick them in the oven at 225 for an hour. Some climates are very humid and things don't dry so fast. It's hard to dry cartos here in the summer, hence the oven method.
Your cartos should be good to go as soon as you fill them (if they are dry when you fill them, if not you'll get tasteless steam when you vape them). The curing thing is for fresh mixed juice. If you get your juice from someone who mixes to order, with a fast delivery time, then it might be best to give the juice 24 hours to "cure" before filling the cartos. This is just to let the flavor diffuse throughout the solution.

Awesome! Thanks guys! I am glad to know about the oven trick. I am guessing with high humidity here in the spring and summer months I will have to resort to the oven to get them to dry.

I have a special drying place for my atty's, carts and filler; Right on top of the 200mm BigBoy fan on top of my computer! I make sure they aren't dripping, sit 'em right on the grate, and crank the fan to full speed! Wow...that just sounded really geeky.
