Why has the flavor of my juice in my carto tank seem to have decreased in potency? I have the same cartomizer in for about 2 weeks. I'm using Flavorz by Joe Papa Smurf which is very flavorful but lately I have noticed a diminishment in potency of flavor. I get plenty of vapor it just that that I can taste the flavor as potent as before. It seems much weaker. Why is that? Is my carto going bad or getting old on me. I have to note that I am a chain vape heavy at times. Please help with any knowledge and/or experience you may have please. Thanks!

I'm new to vaping so there are many others more qualified than I to help. Have you cleaned your tank lately?
I was vaping a flavorful liquid and had the same issue. Woke up one day and boom.. no flavor.. I read on the forum to drink LOTS of water and give it time. I cleaned my tank..replaced wick, drank lots of water.. By the afternoon flavor was back.

I always throw my old cartos away, does anyone clean them? i've never bothered to try and give them a give clean and was wondering if anyone knew just how long it would last if cleaned?

It's not really worth cleaning cartomisers. You have to boil them many times to get all the old juice out, and if they'be been burnt at all they may still taste bad anyway. Someone cleaned one, then opened it up to have a look and found it was pretty bad. Pbusardo did a video on carto cleaning but note he recommends this for changing juice flavour, not to re-use and old carto:

Lots of people say they clean them by boiling or soaking. I had no luck with that so far, it was worse after cleaning than before.
