I just got some more flavors from Blue Mist vaping today and I want to put them in my carts (I still haven't gotten my cartomizers yet...snail mail..ugh) The carts that I have left already have juice in them (they were prefilled from my kit). Can I take out the "filler" and wash it and reuse it? I really hate doing the dripping method.

Another question......I am like a kid in a candy store and want to try all this new juice. I have dripped to try one, but how do I "clean" out the atomizer to try another or do I have to just wait until this flavor burns off?

Of course ...just pull it out and rinse it out...pat it dry in a paper towel....fluff it back up a bit and you are good to go.
You can either vape a flavor out or rinse out the atty in hot water and then dry it out...I would just vape it down and then add the new flavor.

Might have an interesting combination in the transition :)

Thank you so much!!! When you say "vape the flavor out of the atty" do you mean just keep vaping on it until you don't get any vapor anymore? That doesn't burn it up?

You'll keep getting vapor, but eventually there won't be any flavor. Well, there will be flavor, but it won't be very pleasant. You'll know it when it happens.

I know in my cartomizers. I wouldn't suggest pulling the filler out. As i have done this and screwed up the carto. I have heard you can vape it till it has no flavor then boil it for 2 hours and let dry and refill. That would be my suggestion to you.

I think the OP is talking about actual cartridges.

Do cartridges have the same filler as cartomizers, simply arranged differently?

If so, I would think you'd be able to rinse them out and use them for other flavors... let them dry thoroughly, first.

For a cartomizer, I just rinse with hot water about 5-6 times letting water run through it, blast out the bulk of the water manually, and let them sit overnight.

I am not entirely sure about atomizers, but I just add more juice to mine and the flavors gradually change over.... unless I flood it. Oakwood & Pear [Pearwood?] was a good flavor I had while transitioning to Pear in my atomizer.

I imagine some flavors will either not mix well, or produce rather interesting flavors when combined, though.

The foam that was in these carts definitely did not hold up :( When I gently pulled it out with tweezers, it all but disintegrated and it's even worse now that its dry. That is a bummer. I guess I will just make do with what I have until my cartomizers get here. I did manage to try some of the juices I got, but I am not getting a whole lot of flavor. I think I need to stick with anything with menthol. Maybe I have dead tastebuds still!!!! (it's an 80/20 mixture I believe) I hope it's my tastebuds, as now I have 10 samples bottles, and am not too thrilled with any of them!
