Un-Flooding a carto and another question

[MsSki]

Um yeah i overfilled my carto, can they be un-flooded. Im still trying to use them, they are pretty nefty. and when not in use how should i stand it up on what end or do i just lay it down on its side? how many days will one of these things last? Normally i use LR attie on my Ego, the carto fits so im using them too, so far my LR is winning as for performance of vapor.

I think you mean cartomizer, if I am wrong my answer might be useless, sorry.

I overfilled my first last night, and had this exact question. All I did was blow through both ends till no more juice came out and all is well. Seems like the stuff that gets into the right place is sealed in enough to where you can't blow it out, and it should just get rid of the extra. Hope that helps!

Take it off, put a tissue under the battery end and blow lightly through the mouthpiece end until you don't hear a gurgling sound.
When not in use for an extended time, cap it.
There is no set time for how long they last. Some will say a day and some will say a year. Use it until it needs cleaned and clean it. Repeat until it doesn't work anymore.

Once they start plugging, I can never bring them back to original. After about 4 or 5 refills, mine start getting noticeably harder to draw. I blow them out and run water thru them, and I can't get them back to the way they started.

I've had a couple going for a week now, refilling every day. So far so good!

It does seem like they aren't lasting quite as long, but then again, I haven't been capping both ends when not in use.

What good would it do to cap them? E-juice doesn't evaporate.

Thanks for all the advice.
