What am I doing wrong????

[alphafemale]

Sorry to take attention away from the XHaler and voting but......

Why don't I get the same vapor and throat hit from my KR808 carts after I wash and refill them?

I let them dry for 2 to 3 days and I use ONLY NHaler juices any where from 10 to 15 drops.

Thanks

I wish I could help!! I'm sticking with GC carts from now on.

how do you wash them?

what do you refill with(same as before wash or not)

 

[beckah54]

Did you try this?

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.

Alpha, I wish I could help but don't use those. You are always around to help others. I hope you find an answer soon. Maybe Drew could help?

Maybe there's not enough liquid in the completely empty cart? For me, filling a new blank cart takes at least 30 drops. I'm using nhaler juices as well so the drop sizes should be the same.

 

[alphafemale]

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.

Yeah the cart I just emptied and refilled I put 28 drops in it, but I put 10 drops then "packed" it like a can of dip (battery side down) did that roughly 3 times (haha to get 30 drops)

 

[Trox.Shawn]

How do I tell when the cart is "drying" out. I've been puffing away on this thing for about 2 hours and the vapor is slightly less than in the beginning but still decent. I heard if you dry them out they'll burn up and you have to toss them though

Email your pictures and then I will post them for you! Pm me for my email addy!

 

[alphafemale]

I already have your e-mail addy. Truely appreciate you posting for me. I will send in a little while (I should be in the kitchen)

Thank you

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!

 

[alphafemale]

Gee-thanks! I'll get some Vodka (I think Lori suggested this too) and I can always mix it with oj if all else fails!

Email your pictures and then I will post them for you! Pm me for my email addy!

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.

I get clouds of vapor and I never burn one out .... best atty ever ...
