I cleaned a couple cartomizers the other day and when I tried to use them I found that one still worked fine but the other had a really hard draw. It still produced plenty of vapor and flavor, it was just really hard to draw on it. I figured I had ruined it when I cleaned it as others have had happen here so I was ready to trash it. I also thought about taking it apart to see what happened but decided I'd go ahead and clean it one more time just to see what might happen.

After rinsing it out I was blowing through it to get the excess water out and while I was blowing I noticed a little blue piece of fuzz go splat in the sink. I picked it up and it looked like wet pocket lint! I have put my rig in my pocket on occasion but not very often so I'm not sure where it came from. However, after I blew that out and let it dry again I tried it out and everything worked fine!

Not sure how often stuff like that happens but if you have a carto with a hard draw but still produces vapor and flavor don't give up so easily. It could be a simple solution.

At least you wasn't sucking on it when the pocket lint came lose! ;-)
