Used Carto Tank; how do I store it?

[Ch!pDasRipp3r]

I know clearos have to be cleaned, dry burned, and primed; but what about cartomizer tanks? I heard if they're used, to not let them dry, is that true? How do I store it if it's not in use?

I've had bad experiences with saving used cartomizers. If I clean them, they're gross. I don't get long off a cartomizer, so I can deal with the same liquid in that tank till it's at the end of its lifespan.

I have about 4 flavors that I really like in a cartomizer tank. I have one IBtanked one but the rest are these...Pro DCTank Tube

Very inexpensive and I have never had a problem with them. I fill each once up and when Im not using them I store them in a prescription pill bottle and I put the little white plastic cap in it. I usually can run a 30 ml bottle of juice through one before I clean the tank and replace the carto.

I tend to use a carto until it needs replacing. But I do rotate flavors often, so what tanks are not in use (on devices) just get thrown in a basket. If they are unused they have some juice in them, so never an issue.

If the tank has juice and the carto is primed and sitting inside, I've had them sit for relatively long times with no adverse outcomes. There's little airflow or change for evaporation, the carto stays wet, and you can just pick it up and resume vaping whenever the urge for that juice strikes you.

If you are talking about pulling the carto from the tank and then using the tank (and another carto) for a different e-liquid? I suppose that if the carto is working and is clearly primed and wet, you could put it into a tiny ziploc, label it, and use it again whenever you choose to refill a tank with that particular juice.

With cartos going for $1-2 a pop, if I have decided that a particular juice is "out of rotation", I will vape until the tank is nearly dry, pull the carto and toss it, clean the tank and either put it aside or fill it will another juice that was "on deck".

The tank itself can be left dry and empty with no harm, the carto (since it was in a tank and has holes/slots) is only going to be effective if it is used in a tank. That's why if the juice wasn't "doing it for me", I just typically toss the carto.
