Can I wash out the ermmm ... whatsit called?

[claire]

My minds gone blank ... the bit you put the juice in lol

Can I wash it out with water? ... I've found my problem was allergy to PG as I've now got 30 PG and 70 VG and doing better ... not so many pains in legs and muscle aches .. but I don't want to have to bin the cartridges ... CARTRIDGES! .. thats it! .. is it?

Yes you can wash them out with water. Warm but not too hot. If you mean cartridges then that's all it takes, if you mean cartomisers then you can actually boil them. If you mean clearomisers and they have replaceable heads then you can boil the heads, but not the rest.

You can also soak nearly anything (not batteries please ) in bicarbonate of soda, or denture cleaning solution

I used to use an old cleaned out shampoo bottle, you know the ones with a thingy oh what is it called oh yes an arse sphincter type valve in the top. You can fill the bottle with warm water, insert your carto into the valve, which forms a nice seal around it, and gently squeeze. This forces the hot water through the carto to flush out old juice remains, then just let them dry. Jobs a good un!

Cartridges? yes. Are you sure that's what you have?

Don't forget that when they really are dead, Send them to Raid - he can reuse most components, and will make use of all broken and redundant items. Save 'em up until you have an envelope full, then send 'em off - you never know, he might be able to repair something for you sometime (as he kindly did recently with my Vamo!).

Hello

Could you add a picture of your thingamadoodle or a better description of it? A cartridge is usually a kind of mouthpiece with foam in it - and it is out of fashion these days.

[Bluefish]

Yeah just wash them in warm water, but not the thingymadoodles, they don't like it one bit lol

No never ever dip your thingamydoodle in hot water!

I always test the water balls 1st... if they suck back up, then it's either too hot or too cold...

Sorry... I'll get mi coat...

I would always do what Dragon suggests because she boils heads  ......SCARY

Taxi's on its way.

Sorry for not getting back sooner .... I think I have a cartomiser ... it's clear and it has a removable mouth piece so I can put the juice in, avoiding a little hole ... I washed it out and used it ... but it cracked ... and the juice leaks out :/

There is so much to learn ???

[dragon]

That is called a clearomiser Claire

Some liquids are what are called "tank crackers" which means that you can't use them in many plastic clearomisers.

Washing things isn't such a big deal, but making sure they are really dry before you use them again is vital. Many clearomisers can be completely dismantled, making drying easy. Some you can only take the top off. These are much more difficult to clean and take ages to dry

It would help us if you posted some pictures of what you are using (a link to the vendors picture is fine) then we can give you more accurate advice
