seriously... filling carts with new flavs

[critterbug]

To those of you who wash out your carts and refill them with a new flavor... is the flavor really gone after you wash it out?

I'm about to place an order, ordered some juices that I don't have in carts... debating the blank carts is why I ask.

Yup, unless it's like Mint. That flavor stays around for a while so better to refill with complementary flavor if you're re-using a mint carto.

Great! Thanks, impostor. I can finally place the order that's been sitting in my cart for days...

Yes, I washed the menthol cart and put new juice in the washed cart. No menthol taste.

Some flavors are really tenacious and will hang around even after a heavy rinse. Mint is certainly one, menthol another. I've noticed that RY4, coffee, and cappuccino are like that too. It may help to rinse with both water and vodka.

I haven't used a flavor that wouldn't wash out with simply hot tap water. Most of the time I don't even bother and just put in a compatible flavor, like my English Toffee carto gets refilled with coconut, chocolate or even vanilla. I just wash out when the batting seems discolored.

I've been wanting to wash out and refill some of my cartomizers, especially since I have some of the new rootbeer juice on the way. If this wouldn't be considered hijacking the thread(don't want to be rude ), could anyone break down the washing AND drying process for me?

I pop off the white cap and take out the o-ring. Turn on the hot tap water and flush out the cartomizer, blowing the hot water through several times (from the open top end). Keep going until it looks and smells clean, about four or five times. Then give it a good hard blowing to dry the batting. Dab away any excess water on the outside and inside with a paper towel then fill it up right away.

Taryn, you are the best! Thanks so much! I was expecting to have to wait for them to dry out, but looks like I can refill with root beer if I get my package this afternoon. Thanks again!

 

[Taryn]

Enjoy your root beer Blue! I think you do get better results if you let them sit for a bit after refilling before vaping, but sometimes I just don't care and start vaping them right away!

lol blue, you are too courteous. But I was actually wondering the same thing... And then, naturally, there was Taryn.

Oh your time will come critterbug, I'll get to step down with the tip posting and leave it to you!
