Cartos. When to bin 'em?

[WhamBamSam]

As the title says? Profuse apologies if this question has been asked before, but how does one know when one's carto is knackered? The 'blurb' says ' it can be refilled many times', but how many times is 'many'? What signs do I look for? How do I know when it's done? Dead? Feet up? Gone to the big Vapour In The Sky?

Thanks muchly!

Simple when you don't get enough vapour or it doesn't 'taste right'.....(throat hit?) or like in my case - one too many burnt tastes even when it's full...

Or just when you fancy a new one. I used to average about 3 days heavy vaping in a tank (makes it last longer) but many vapers get a lot longer than that

Sam, please don't feel you need to apologise for asking any questions

Cartos don't tend to just die, but slowly wimp out. The draw gets harder & produces less vape.

I recon I can get about 10ml through a carto, more if the carto is in a tank

Simples if it starts to taste sheite bin it

Sam, as above but - have you washed the carto out? It does help. Some people reckon boiling them then freezing them whilst wet helps too by 'puffing up' the filler. They are consumables though, so too much first aid is overkill

Hi Sam,I get a month of medium use out of some of mine in a tank,I say medium because I have a good few delivery systems now,but tend to keep using my Boge carto system as my main vape,I have had just one that just stopped working and I have binned many just because I thought they were not giving their best,but where still working

Can you really boil a cartomiser? Would it not damage it? Do you boil the whole thing, wadding in it and all...and in plain water, or what would you add to it?

I change mine every 2/3 days also and then bin them , I've tried cleaning them out but without much success ......I also find that using a tank saves having carts lying around all over place and not knowing what's in them or how old they are but then I'm not the most organised person at the best of times
