my method to clean/fill...
Easy Way To Fill And Clean Cartomizers

still looking for a good way to dry them...some have suggested using a hair dryer.

when storing might as well keep the end caps on so you don't lose them...

Someone still uses cartomizers?

Clean them, there are many methods but here is one. Then, yes, store them with caps off.

I do.

6ml ones built for something apparently called an ePower battery. Best things I've ever used, by far. I've tried every variation and, for me.and my wife, these are our favorites. Since we started with these, well over a year ago, I bought and sold Phinacs, Big Daddy's, DCCT's, Vivi's plus a bunch of other stuff that I can't even recall right now.

We never empty them and they never die. A few of my wife's have been in rotation for over a year. I also have a couple of Tatroe tanks, that I use here and there, but the big cartos remain my GoTo vape. Fill 'em and go. No muss, no fuss, no fiddle and no piddle.

I don't think they're producing them any longer though, but I've purchased enough to last us a few years, and that might be a conservative effort.

So, yeah - someone still uses cartomizers. And that someone would (happily) be me. Oh yeah, and my wife. I almost forgot about her.

Yes, there are people who still use them! I use them when I need to just go to the store or make a quick run out somewhere and have refilled mine many times over. I still have 3 different types of Cig-a-likes which is normally what I carry out as they are small and I have a case for them. I also use eGo-T's and a V-Life Max VV/VW

There is nothing wrong with using cartomizers! Geeeez!!!!

    Lol. I didn't realize anyone would take that serious. I use them occasionally too.

    To the OP - I recommended storing caps off for what shadav mentioned. There are other ways to clean them but if you are just storing them, might as well go caps off and they should be dry after some time but try to get as much water out as you can first.

    If you mainly read the front pages of ECF, it will seem that way. They aren't constantly coming out with new models to fix the last model's shortcomings.

    They simply, consistently work great so we don't have much to say to open new threads.

    Thanks!!! I just got some cheap that had been hanging in someone's inventory. This is a good lead if I want to add a few more years' inventory though.

    I wonder if I'll be vaping for that long. :eek:

    It's great that you found something that you like that much! I'm surprised that your wife likes them also, they're like sucking on a cigar, lol.

    So far I am finding that cartomizers are the only things out there that give me consistent vape with minimal fuss. I have two novas, protank 1 & 2, evod, etc. I just simply don't have the problems with a cartomizer, yet I still find myself fiddling with my protanks in an effort to get some consistency that I have yet to achieve.
