i ran out of juice in all my pre-filled cartos that came with the kit but i refuse to go to the store to buy a pack of smokes since i have 1oz of ejuice thats supposed to get here tomorrow, all i have is this old can of dip to hold me together till then. its gross and my girlfriend would probably never kiss me again if she saw me doing this crap but i gotta have my NICOTAINE!!
anyways, i was gonna clean my cartos and get them ready for when the juice arrives so i can just load them up and vape away! i know about soaking them in hot water for 15 min or so to get the old flavor out, but then a new idea struck me. what about using an ultrasonic cleaner to clean these things out REAL good? people say that these cartos eventually get clogged up after so many refills and then you need to get new ones.
Would using an ultrasonic clean them out even better than the traditional hot water soakin'? would it damage the heating element or anything?
I reload ammunition and i use this ultrasonic cleaner to clean up all the brass casings and i gotta tell you, it works like a charm.
does this sound like a good idea? would it prolong the life of the carto?

I think what your saying is you would wash out the cartos THEN do the ultrasonic cleaning. That might get out a lot of the water and remaining flavor ... you would still have to let the carto dry good though. As for damaging the atomizer ... I just don't know.

The pre-filled cartos are designed to be disposable. I don't wash them out or do anything to them. All I do is re-fill using the condom method and I match (for example) tobacco e-liquid to a carto that had a tobacco flavoring in it, or orange to orange, etc.

I can use them three to ten times and when they start tasting bad or get plugged up, I toss them.

LOL, I can remember back when I smoked and dipped at the same time. Smoke a while then dip a while and drink a beer with a lip full of dip. Vaping is much better and my wife even gives me a kiss every once in a while!!!
