so i have a couple of cartotanks and so far i have enough juice to keep the juice above the carto's punched holes, but what do i do once i run out of e-juice and just want to finish what's left? this probably doesn't make any sense because i'm not the best at riting down my e-cig problems but maybe someone knows what i'm talking about?:confused:

I think I u der stand what you are asking... The carto in the tank has the hole slightly above the bottom of the inside of the tank.
You could try sliding the carto down a bit to lower the hole(s)...
But, if your carto gets too dry, then the poly fill will burn and you will not be able to EVER get that taste out!

What most people do is use a blunt syringe to such out the juice...then use the reverse Taryn spin to clear out the carto. You should then be able to clean the carto and start using a new juice.

A drip shield or guard over the cartomizer, or simply, plug the holes with toothpicks...

You'll get over this soon..

You can also pull out the carto, put plumber's tape over it (or really, any tape that sticks to metal if you watch it for leaks) and vape it like a regular carto. No matter what you do you're going to lose a little juice. :(

ETA: Perhaps you could fill the tank with another flavor that might mix with it. If there is only a small amount left, the new flavor will be stronger.

Not if he/she follows your recommendations. No functional drip shields on cartos; wouldn't do any good. Plug da hole and it's burnt filler/toss time (see above).

To da OP, either slide da tank up a bit to 'catch' da last few micro liters or fergetaboutit. By da time ya get to that 'level', chances are that da joose isn't worth salvaging due to carto/coil residue/contamination.

If you're using pre-punched cartos and have dis problem, rethink your vaping plan. If ya punch your own, take note and punch lower.

Folks, seriously, it's not rocket surgery!

Then I guess no one can use non-tank cartomizers... like many of us do. Think smarter, not harder. Punching new holes, trying to slide the tank around.. pfff..
Take the danged tank off sideways, plug the hole(s) in the carto and use the little bit left in the tank to fill the carto.. thousands of us do it, the only difference is you need to cover the holes in the side of tank cartos.
