Steradent flavoured carto's, Lovely!

If you can make a carto last 3 days out of a tank, what's that, 60 fags=£18 for £1.50 carto.
A week in a tank (you do the Maths) and you want to clean them out and get another week.
Bin the Bu@@ers you tight gits.

All depends on whether you can afford to bin em , if you can squeeze another week or 2 out of them ... I'm all for it ..

I have some carto's that I've been using for a couple of months although the flavour has dropped off a tad . I'm not tight just tight for cash

[kingofswords]

so if im doing 15ml a week would i get a week out of a kanger/boges? ppl on the forums seems to get 15-20 mls through them on average...someone on the 'kanger' thread said they average at 50ml which seems high.
it doesnt seem very environmental chucking 'em after 2 or 3 days...and would be nice to save a few quid if possible. is it okto boil them in a kettle(if i dont use the kettle anymore) or would they short out the element?
also whats the coke way of cleaning...is that for attys only? i use coke for cleaning eveything and its brillant(specially) burnt pans seems only thing its not good for is drinking.

Good post Storm and im in the same position.I dont mind binning them if they are tasting bad, or not performing, but if you can clean them and get another week then why not.I have three little kids so some weeks i cant afford anything vaping.Also with xmas coming ive been spending most of my spare cash on presents for everyone.

Pan of boiling water is what I use mate for around 15 mins after rinsing old juice out under hot tap ....... Mind yer fingers tho'

I used to boil them and it does them no harm at all.I find now its just as easy to wash them under the hot tap,blow out the excess water and juice and then put them in a food bag in the freezer for a few days.Take them out and let them thaw,fill up again and you are away again.Ive used alot of methods when cleaning cartomisers and never managed to kill any Boges.

Worst time of year for everyone but the kids Ian , I don't envy you mate mine have flown the nest , but your young un's think Santa will bring them all they ask for , whilst you scrimp and save to get as much as you can for them. Good luck ! and I'm getting steradent on my next Tesco shop

[Deleted]

Do you dry them before freezing or freeze then defrost and dry .... Oh and I'm deffo preferring Kangers over any other carto

[ian]

To be perfectly honest we started xmas shopping in september for the kids stuff :)My mrs always plans ahead and gets things sorted as she knows how much i hate the packed shops at xmas time.Im quite lucky as i just give her the cash and she does the rest :)We have tons of presents for the kids so they will have a nice day,im just left to buy her stuff and bits for my family.I bet it gets alot harder when they get older and start asking for very expensive presents

[ian]

Just a quick blow out from the top of the carto,excess water comes out the connector end then straight in the freezer.I must admit that im finding these kangers very good aswell,im undecided as to which is best between kangers and Boges.

[Deleted]

It does to a point but once they leave home in my personal opinion they are on their own to make their own way in life , however mum and dad are always there on hand to help out when required . As for xmas presents once left home they get something to help them on their way .. I.e. something for the house etc.
The expensive pressies come when they want if they haven't already got ... xbox PS3 WII new pc cos old one is buggered et al

IMHO for the OP .. I think Kanger just pip the boge


Edit: Sorry to the OP for a minor hijack

[ian]

Im sorry to,im famous for hijacking threads IMO i think the Boge are best for throat hit and the Kamgers for flavour.Both very good cartomisers and both clean up nicely for us penny pinchers

I'm coming to the conclusion that when measuring the length of time a cartomiser/atomiser etc lasts . . . you've got to look at how much juice you've put through it first and what juice it is, as some do clog up the workings quicker.

Carto's cetainly last longer in a Tank of some description I find, as they're kept constantly wet.
