Cleaning cartos

[raid2506]

Ok I've tried searching and I've been through as many topics as I can but can't find a definitive answer.

I have a pile of used and re-fillable cartos, all is well when I stick with the same juice but I am a noob and want to try new juices without getting a huge pile of cartos.

Can I wash and dry my used cartos like I do my clearos?

I do have some clearos which are great, but the dog ate one and I now have more juices to try than I have drying time (should I be drying my washed T4's on the radiator?)

Won't be as good as cleaning clearos but you could run hot/boiling water through them and dry..Some even recommend freezing after for a few days after cleaning..

I made a contraption with the carto condom superglued to the end of a syringe many moons ago and it worked reasonably well to clean cartos..

Using an ultrasonic cleaner on a few cycles works ok too, but they`ll never be same as fresh ones.

They are supposed to be disposable afterall.

I hope the clearo the dog ate was empty the juice in a full clearo depending on strength could kill a dog!

Ive cleaned mine by boiling them in a pan of hot water for a few min then pouring boiling water through them. I dry them on the radiator too.

i used to use a nuk nasal pump full of water to clean mine, they cost about £3 from boots and do the job nicely

I use Clearos and Tanks but I do not use them for tasting new juices.

As I don't like dripping, I have bought myself some Buds.

I wash these out with a syringe between juices and they work well.

I never put any juice into a clearo or tank until it has been thoroughly tested in the Bud.

I did a load of JacVapour cartos as I found an adapter that lets me use them on 510.
I always think cleaning them out is only any good if they are relatively new...and you just want to get rid of a certain flavour.

I've tried gentle simmering in a pan, rinsing under a running hot(ish) tap, soaking for an hour in a container. Any method does the job.

The "cappucino" ones which had devils own stinky juice in came up great with just a few rinses and lots of blowing.

Just don't fill them too soon....or wet dog vaping.....

(yes, I have done that one.. )

24 hours on the radiator after plenty of puffing through the water.

Sweet. Some good ideas there.

Have just been rinsing them in a sink of hot water.

I don't think it's boiling because the Mrs isn't using her gloves yet, do you think it should be hotter?

The dog is fine, apparently she doesn't like xxx softmint ???

Hard to tell if there were any bad effects as she is a Cairn terrier, killed my clearo tho!

Love Cairns, my lass has one. But seriously I would keep an eye on her or maybe even give the vets a ring. Actually, give the vets a ring

Oh and I use one of those cheap electric jewellery cleaners on mine

You use a jewelery cleaner on sick dogs?

If I could clean my stinky terriers so easily, believe me I would have tried
