What do you do with partially used cartridges?

[strell]

We have several carts that we did not vaporize all the liquid out of. We have plenty of extras, but in an effort not to be wasteful, what should we do with these carts at the end of the night? It seems like we have three options - does anyone have a preference or recommendation?

1) The carts come with little caps that seem like they would keep in the moisture. Leave the caps on and top them off before the next session

2) Leave the caps off and let the remaining liquid evaporate overnight

3) Remove the fabric, wash it and let it dry

I personally go with option #3. Unless I use a sharpie marker on my cartridge to remind what flavor I used, then I just put the little rubber cap back on an top it off later when I choose to vape the flavor again.

I don't think they will evaporate overnight. For safety sake if you choose to throw them away, remove the fluff and rinse them out just to remove any remaining nicotine. Hope this helps!

Hi guys
I am very new to this.
I have an n-joy npro can you buy juice and add it to an empty cart?

Absolutely! It's cheaper, and many think better tasting. Here's a pretty informative post about cartridges vs. liquid:

I tend to have them collect all over my desktop. I place them away from each other so I can remember what flavor they are, but never remember so they just lay there until I don't care anymore and fill one with whatever flavor I'm craving.

Thank you
very very cool.
I was going to try to buy another brand or model with longer lasting carts.
I know it wont be as cheap a rolling my own but it should be better.
I really like the vapor I get it just runs out way to fast.

I'd say #1. I have quite a few capped ones laying around that I just top off with juice when I want to use them. When they get too rank, yeh, rinse them out and reuse them but until then, they are reusable.

Option #4- Place the fiber from the half used carts into a syringe and squeeze the liquid back into the bottle then rinse the fiber so it's fresh for a new flavor. Although this can get confusing if you mix up your carts and so I have one bottle that has so many flavors in it that the taste is indescribable (not bad, just strange) so this is used for my hard times stash.

Capping them works well to.

Wow - thank you for all the responses! Sounds like there's not really a wrong way to do it between #1 and #3. Since there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it, I can already tell we're going to end up with Walrus's approach.

We definitely prefer liquid to cartridges.

I've found the Pilot carts fit great into an old film canister. I have 1 for the new ones and 1 for the empty. I marked them so I know which is which. Then I just fill them all at the same time. Keeps them clean & I don't have to waste precious brain cells remembering which is which or where I put them. A syringe is the best way to fill them completely.

Well I use ziplock bags to seperate the flavors and mark the bags with a permenant marker. I then will drain and re-use the saved liquids and the carts with cleaned up fillers. I havent had to buy any new filler stuff but have used it before with our fish tanks long ago.

Call me thrifty but I always look for ways to save money. I am one of those obnoxious folks who save catchup packets and whatever else if I go out to eat. I have ziplock bags filled with various things like honey from KFC mayo and mustard packets from deli's and peppers and parmazan cheeze from Papa Johns Pizza.

Edit: Banner is wrong cause I cheated a few days ago and have yet to fix it.

Ziplock bags for me too, then top up. I never let my carts run completely dry so I'm building up an interesting collection of cocktails.
