everyone has their own way to clean thier carts, and many just rely on watching youtube for information. so i guess this will be a quick case of TV killed the radio star. but i thought i'd share with you the way i clean my cartos and atty's.

first off, boil yourself up some water in your kettle and pour into a bowl or small rock glass.

step two, pull off the cap and pull out the silicone "o" ring inside your cart. if there is still juice in your cart extract it with a syringe. find yourself a non hypo syringe, the type to administer oral medicine. or you could just remove the hypo from your existing syringe and attach the "o" ring to the end like so.

third, plug in the "o" ring into your carto or atty and draw in boiling water, then plunge back out. repeat this step for however long you desire always changing to fresh water before finishing. blow out any excess water from the threaded end and put them out onto paper towels until you believe they are dry enough for use.

A lot easier to follow that some youtube videos. Good job Chris. I like the toilet plunger approach with the syringe and washer

Only exception to it is "waste not, want not".
Have you ever bought a juice and hated it, and wondered how you were going to get rid of it?

That is candy compared to juice extracted from a used carto. Yuk.
It may contain stuff (chemically altered stuff) that didn't vape well the first time around.
Remember you are "cleaning out a cartomizer" Why?
And now what are you going to do with the juice?

Put it in little bottles and mail it out with your mods?

Uh oh

Just kidding

True, we're cleaning them for a reason. i guess you can still extract the juice to make it easier and faster to flush out with water. i usually keep my carts clean, and at the very first sign of the polyfill changing color from yellow to a darker color i clean um' and dont reuse the juice.
