Storing part used Cartos?

[TaraMc]

I'm off travelling in a couple of days and won't be home, well a month maybe, lol might not even come back if I like where I'm going, will just arrange for the mutt and the cats and my vape stash to be shipped out on a plane and the jobs a good 'un Anyway I'm leaving most of my kit at home, just taking a bunch of 901 attys a handful of 510 Ego batts, a bunch of cartos and some tips, a few drip shields and a shed load of juice.

Anyway I've just been sorting through my kits, mixing juice etc. etc. and I've got a pile of cartos loaded with flavours that I vape maybe once or twice a week so they aren't going with me; I'm wondering, do I ditch them or will they keep, perhaps in a fridge or freezer? I DIY and currently my nic base is VG, my flavour PG and my dilutent 20%PG/80%AG, so I'm not sure how well the juice will preserve if left festering in filler?

Ideas anyone?

I wouldn't toss them. Just wait till you get back home and see if they're still good or not. I would guess they would be still good.

What I would do if you aren't crazy about the flavors is boil the cartos and let them dry. I am just guessing if you let them sit for too long with the juice in them, they will become a little tacky with residue and hard to vape.

Just remember to keep the rubber caps on them so they don't dry out. That way you'll be fine for awhile. If you don't then they'll definitely dry out and you will have to re-fill them again.

Doh! I hadn't thought about boiling them, thanks what a great idea

I save everything...

Hang on to them, I'd use the condoms & plugs, re-cap them, put them in a ziplock and put in a cool dark spot until you get back (if you don't need them now)

Or instead of boiling I've been having better luck using a small syringe (pencil size, no needle) with a gripper (from a pen or dollar store) attached, insert the carto and drawing boiling water through, then pushing out and discarding, repeat 1-2 more times and blow through the carto until no moisture comes out.

I then then let them dry for a day or so, I think I've had better results and I don't have to deal with fishing them out, rinsing and have had no doa's yet, yay! It's been working really well for my boge and I use them on my vmod with no problems.

hth!

Good! I'm glad to help! If you don't have a syringe what I do after I boil them is put the carto inside a turkey baster, get a really hot cup of water and flush the carto until the filler looks white again
