I am using them on the ego exclusively. The wood mod is to big and nice to lug around. I may not need as many when the 3.7 OG gets here- bottem feeder. I wish it would come so I could decide what to buy!

I've decided that my next toy is going to be a Provari! Woo hoo!!!

When I get it, now that's the ultimate question indeed :D

I've tried two methods.

The first that 36 referenced involves boiling the cartos several times with clean water each time for 10 minutes each until the bubbles look like normal boiling water bubbles, not "juicy" bubbles like you get when you heat up sugar to make a caramel (at least that was my take on it), and the water vapor doesn't smell. After that you blow out as much water as possible and let them dry overnight with a paper towel stuffed in them to help draw out the water.

The 2nd method involved using the sink sprayer to spray out the juice. Test by sucking on the batt end of a carto every once in a while until they taste clean. Blow out as much water as possible and bake in the oven at 100 degrees for 3 hours.

Both methods worked. Just WAY too much trouble for my liking. I don't even like to vacuum, only do it because I hate dirt and dust more. :)

How are you cleaning the cartos if I may ask? I used to clean mine, now I use attys. Today, a not very agreeable one. Blech, must be dying off.
I haven't made but 1 lame attempt, and I have a lot to try different methods on- I will let you know in a couple days if this works: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...torial-how-i-clean-my-boge-510-lr-cartos.html

I figure, I can try this, if it works do massive batch while watching a vid or something. If this doesn't work, I saw another one. I just like his video's - he reminds me of a funny uncle I had from Jersey.

Stopping by to say hi to one of my fav juice makers!!! I need to reorder the house blend I am out of it!!! Would also like to try some new flavors but I am always skeptical about it but end up still buying new flavors.

+1 for FV for being a A+ vendor that takes care of her customers.

I tried attys, couldn't figure them out. Either flooded them or burned them dry, no middle ground. Much as I dislike the waste of the carto, right now it's the only way I can get a carefree decent vape.

That's been my problem. I keep trying though. I have alot of them, clean and ready to make me sad!

You're braver than I am. Two attempts at failure was my limit. I figure if I ever get to a vape meet I can have someone show me how it's supposed to work. Chances of meeting another vaper around here is slim to none and I can view all the youtube vids in the world and I still don't have a clue.

Good to know you guys say this works if you don't mind the work. I'll see if I do! And I will wait a day longer than necessary- thanks for saying that, I don't want to go to that trouble and fail!

Here what I did when I was using cartos which I am not anymore but it worked great.

1. Take of plastic caps from cartos
2. put the cartos in boiling water for 10mins
3. take all cartos out of the water and blow out the water of each and everyone of them.
4. fill up new water (not the old nasty water) bring to a boil and put the cartos back in the boiling water for 10mins
5. repeat step 3
6. once more in boiling water for 10mins.
7. blow out cartos and let them stay upside down on paper towel for 2-3 days to ensure they are fully dry or you end up like the poster above me and myself. They seem to be dry after 24hrs+ but deep inside they are not so 2-3days I say.

Me at 3.7 I use a 1.5ohm.

The food dehydrator I always just let run for about 24 hours to be on the safe side. Fill one and try it before you fill a bunch, just in case they are not completely dry.

I tried the oven at a low temp and melted the coating on the carto to my cookie sheet. Yuck.

Website is open Ben!
:laugh:

New deal of the day starts in about one hour..... what will it be????
