Steam cleaner for carts

[WitchWay]

Will a hand held steam cleaner work for cleaning the cartos or would it be too much pressure? I have seen threads about using it to clean attys but nothing about cleaning cartos. Anyone have any experience with hand held steam cleaners?

Thanks!

Something like this maybe?

SteamFast SF-226 Handheld Steam Cleaner

Never used one of these so I don't know
I would love to know if it would work!

I don't think the pressure would be too much on a hand held steamer. This is actually a pretty good idea and I think I'll test it out. I just have to go get my steamer back from my mother-in-law first....

I'll post back with results if I can manage to get my steamer back.

Yes, I went ahead and ordered a Shark brand one and will post results after I get it. I figured if it doesn't work out for the cartos I have plenty of other things to use it on.

Awesome, can't wait to hear your results.
not a bad price if it works.

I really like a steamer for cleaning around the house. Never thought about using it on a cartomizer.

I have one but waiting for someone else to try it first

I have a one too, lemme know how it works out then I will give it a try.

Should be interesting trying to hold the atty while steaming it hah. I'm not all handy with tools that will hold it for me. maybe close it in the shower door or stick it in the seam on the couch or something haha.

I have never owned one. I'm thinking though, if it has an attachment small enough to fit in the open end of a cartomizer, the pressure and the steam would push all the left over juice out the batt end, leaving the batting clean??
Sounds good anyway! But yeah.....need someone to try it.
Anyone????

Why? The atomizer vaporizing our liquid is turning it to steam. So steam is obviously something the cartomizer can take...

Handheld steamers don't produce very much force either.. I can't imagine any more than running hot tap water into a cart, or using the suction method to clean them with...

I'm 99% positive that this won't hurt the cart.. Just not sure if it'd be a viable way to clean out a cart compared to some of the other methods already available.

Hold it with pliers and pretend it's an eyelash curler or salad tongs or something

My steamer will be here tomorrow or so the FedEx tracking says. I have been giving the holding part some thought. I'm going to try it out tomorrow night and will report what I come up with. If I burn my fingers I may have to have hubby type for me LOL.

Like I said, if it doesn't work, I have the steamer to use around the house. So not a bad investment. Hubby already has plans to clean his grill.

Stay tuned!

Its actually steam not vapor since it gets things wet. Vapor being gas form won't get anything wet.

I was thinking of bundling a few together with a rubber band, then standing them on the battery ends in a strainer in the sink and shooting the steam down through them that way. We will see how that works. First one I try I'll hold with pliers or something so if it ruins the carto, I only ruin one. If one goes well I'll try the bundle.

What's an eyelash curler or salad tong?

I guess I can bust out the vice grips Forgot I had those. hah.

Still wanna see someone else do it first (thus my excuses, ahem)

I don't in fact have any juice yet, so next time I order I will clean my empty carts for it. Otherwise I would try it

I could clean it out but without the juice I couldn't really say if it worked well heh.
