Summer Vaping

[Tracker II]

This may be a silly question but do cartos dry out and gum up faster if left open on batteries during the heat of the summer? I started vaping in January and our house is humidified during the winter so I always left the carto uncovered without second thought, but with warm weather approaching I'm wondering if I should at least cover the end with the rubber cup to prevent evaporation. I'm more worried about thicker liquids gumming up the carto than anything as I don't use that much liquid to worry about liquid loss. Thanks.

Hi Tracker! I can't answer the question as I have been vaping only a few weeks, but I had the same question. I am looking forward the answers!

I believe the answer is "no." As in, "no worries."

We'll wait for Snow or Mordo or one of the other tech-xperts to chime in for the definitive reply!

Tracker II sir if you're leaving them out fir an extended period of time (as in more than 9 hours) would say yes, though the juice lost will be minimum (maybe a drops worth) as long as it's not for a day or more. We had some hot days this past winter and I would notice the cartos wouldn't last as long if I left them uncovered for extended periods...

Thanks, Morandir! I knew you'd know for certain!

And I stand corrected. (And edjumacated!)

Used to leave a carto that was used but unfinished, uncovered Ms. Eleanor, then go back to it later in the day or the next. If the house was hot enough, when I went back to it, it wouldn't last nearly as long as it should have. Found out the hard way.

Thanks Morandir, that's pretty much what I figured but then I thought maybe I was just being .....

Hey Bogey, good to see another Illinois man (woman?) here. I grew up in Decatur which isn't too far from you.

Saw a suggestion to put carto's with liquid in them in plastic zip-lock bags when not in use. Seems like a logical idea to me. Gonna try it out, I believe carto's do dry out when store out in the open. More will be revealed.

Hey Tracker, grew up in O'Fallon, IL. Small (vaping) world

Nice to meet you Tracker! If I remember correctly, I think Decatur is where my friends and I used to drive to when we were in highschool to stare at the cars at the Porsche dealership.
