I wash them with super hot tap water. I use a disposable cup that I put a bunch of holes in the bottom for draining and just let it fill and drain until I can't smell anything in the carts. Then I blow them out until no water comes out. After that, I have a nifty drying rack that my hubby made me that they sit in for a few days (I have pics but can't post for some reason).

Then I refill with liquid and reinsert the o-ring and white cap. I wanted to have a least 1 cart ready to go with each of the liquids I have (29 flavors). Then I let them sit overnight before using.

To keep them from drying out until I'm ready to use them, I put each in it's own small zip lock baggy (from craft stores for beads) with the flavor written on it.

I have softened water out of the tap, I'm wondering if I should use distilled water. We can't get Everclear here in Michigan anymore.

Thanks for all the help.

No worries hittman-I've been reading all the mod info you have been posting, so in a way you have been helping me. I just can't decide if I want to go mod yet. :)

hamsup-that just might be the problem, I was only putting in 10 to 15 drops. I will keep on experimenting-that's half the fun!

Sure wish I could post pics of my drying rack, for starting out as a piece of 2x4 it's quite something.

Hey Alpha. I would try maybe a strong vodka rinse, I don't have everclear but use a decent grade of vodka. I use hot hot water first and blow a few hot water rinses through, then drop them in a glass of vodka and blow one final time before I let them dry. I get good results that way even if I refill the same day, I think the vodka helps them get a bit cleaner and dryer. Works for me anyway!

Thanks Lori for putting these up for me and the compliments. Hubby has a CNC machine that he made this for me.

The bottom is slotted to allow for air to flow under and up through the holes for drying. Mine is custom bored for the KR808 carts. You can't see from the top, but the holes you see in the bottom are smaller than the top holes.
