Update into boiling cartosH

[ian]

Hi all.I would just like to add a little more input into this subject to make sure you get the optimum BEST results.I have found that once a carto is used once, the filler inside is obviously,never gonna be brand new again(just like any cart with filler material)As you vape and drip onto them they absorb quicker as time goes on. So anyway,You still boil as i have stated in numerous posts,BUT,instead of using condom cap filling method to refill(once blown and dried for many hours)Simply drip on 8-9 drops of juice which really does the job well,leave a few mins to distribute,then vape.When you need to,simply drip 3-4 drops and keep doing this for prolonged carto life.Ive done this today and have found that this is an even easier and better way to stretch your cartos ALOT longer.Best to wait until you have 3 or 4 to make it worth your time.Ive had 98%success in doing this.Have only lost a couple of cartos in months and months of continueing to do this method.

Crumbs, Ian, you must be vaping like a train

Which end do you drip into? I drip into the mouth end with the carto slightly tilted, turning it so that the drips fill it fairly evenly, around the inside of the rim. Some people drip thru the hole in the battery end.

Hi Scylla.Yes i do it exactly the same as you just said.Thanks,i should really av mentioned this BUT it really is the best way of using these things so just presumed we all fill em the same.And yes i do vape like a train. Im not proud of it though and really am gonna cut down soon.Im killing off,on average atleast 5ml per day with chain vapeing.Im just loving the fact that i feel so much healthier without the roll ups etc.I should say im intaking EVEN MORE nicotine than when i smoked But feel so VERY well and alive again.

This is exactly what I do, only I don't always wait until they lose power, I do it when I've tried a flavour I'm not keen on....cleans them up a treat.
Smells like I'm cooking something yummy when they're all boiling away on the hob !

You're a star, thank you for this Ian . . . I've had a mass boiling session tonight . . . . of one whole carto.

The boiled master piece is now sat drying on a piece of kitchen paper, so I won't be able to tell until tomorrow whether I've boiled it correctly or not.

Rather exciting, waiting to see if it works!

Hi perpy,all.I guarantee you it WILL defo work.I did one this afternoon.Blew as much water out as poss,left it turned upside down on kitchen roll.Ive just dripped 9 drops of 36mg french pipe into it and its FANTASTIC.Just like a brand new one.I do find myself boiling most days now and have been using these 3 same cartos for about 2 weeks now.Just keep using them in this fashion-1 for menthol,1 for tobacco and 1 spare.When your 2 that your using seem clogged again,boil em and you have 1 spare.I HAVE cracked it.

I must also add somat VERY interesting.The cartos from James seem to fair the best once boiled and also that you can boil them VERY MANY times.Need i say anymore??

It's pretty blumming good Ian from an item that was made to be disposable in the first instance!

[Scylla]

Ian, I wasn't criticising you for being a chain-vaper - my GD-PT's cable is like an umbilical cord

I've got LOADS of cartos in the kitchen waiting for me to get my act together.

Which end do you find best to blow the water out of, Ian? I mean, which end do you blow from.

Sounds like a plan

Think I'll be purchasing a special carto boiling pan

[ian]

Hi Scylla.I blow them out from the top end and then the water comes out of the battery end.I just blow em onto a piece of kitchen roll.Once you cannot blow any more water out then its time to turn them upside down to finish off drying.Leave them preferably overnight,but i would say ATLEAST 5 hours. Lol,Hissie.I have got a pan specifically for cartos.My mrs was moaning at me.

[Lilac]

How long do u boil them for, Ian?

[ian]

Hi Lilac.Really you dont have any set boiling time.BUT i have found lately that to get the filler snowy white 20mins is PERFECT.

I can report that Ian's top carto culinary tips work a dream, like
Hissie, I think I need to buy a wee carto boiling pan as my one little carto looked a bit forlorn in a 2 litre saucepan.

Great news Perpy.Im REALLY pleased its worked for you.I never doubted it would.My hub has still not arrived.I really hope Royal mail are not up to their old tricks again.I dont think it was sent recorded either.BUT,i will give it a few more days before i ring the company about it.Sure it will come.Typical,when you REALLY need somat,this happens.
