Storing Cartomizers with Juice in them.

[FiLiNuX]

Hello ECF!!

As a new vapor I have been trying different cartomizers. I got two Vision V2's and two Ego Mega Dual Coils and both have worked very well and have not given me any troubles to date (knock on wood). I prefer the V2's so far as I like knowing how much liquid is actually in there and not guessing how saturated the filler is.

Question is this, I am switching throughout the day(s) between the different carto's because they all of course have different flavors in them. The V2's hold a just under a couple ml's of juice and EGMDC's hold about 4 (they say 5 but it seems like 4 is about all I dare) and I want to know how to "store" them so the juice doesn't dry up or leak. Its been pretty hot and humid around here lately. I have been just putting them in little ziplocks when they are not in use and putting them i a wood box in my desk drawer but thought there must be a better method or way to store them. The V2's don't seem to be as open to the air but the EGMDC's have a great big hole in the tip right above the filler and juice to evaporate out. Have tried putting small plastic sleeve over them with a rubber band as well.

Suggestions, tips, or tricks or is this just something not to worry about?

Thanks!

I wouldn't really sacrifice much time thinking about something like this, I just keep them in a box that is lined with paper towels, so if they leak, it gets absorbed by the paper, and thats good enough for me.

With standard cartos we just put the silicone caps they come with back on and store them. If yours came with caps, I'd use them. Juice is good for up to two years in a room temperature environment. Keep them away from heat and light and you should be good. Zips locks are fine. Don't fill them to excess and leaks will be minimal. I'd draw out any pooling or slushy appearance with a syringe or by using the juice bottle as a vacuum aspirator.

With daily use there is nothing to worry about. Direct sunlight or extreme heat (glove compartment) for extended periods is not recommended.

I usually store strong flavors separately. I made the mistake of storing a tankomizer with JC's Mercado (a very spicy, clove-heavy juice) with my peach and RY4.....everything ended up tasting like Mercado.

I've never had a problem storing other flavors together, just that Mercado. But I <3 it, so I just store it separately.

I feel like my caetos would smoke better after having them sit for awhile. Not as much vapor if I just filled and hit it.

Your storage procedure seems absolutelly fine to me. Sunlight, excessive heat, and oxigen are the main factors to mess e-juice.

My storage is a mess, all kinks of cartos and flavours mixed. I will definitely suggest you label your flavours, in a ziplock bag. Storing for a couple of weeks, will be no problem.
