Carto Care - couple of questions

[jlowdo]

Again, probably either very obvious, or this info available elsewhere on forum but any thoughts greatly appreciated...

firstly, the thing i hate most already is when you get that first 'duff' drag when the liquid has run out... is it best to keep adding a couple of drops every hour or so to stop it getting to the drying out point, does that prolong the life of the carto? does the flavour suffer if it totally dries out and then is refilled?

Also, if you leave the cart overnight in the cig ( for potential easy access first thing in the morning ) should i remove the drip tip and replace it with the condom cap to stop it drying out over night?

And finally, but unrelated really, should i be cleaning the metal contacts of both the battery and the cart regularly? if so, any tips on how regularly, or what to use?

Thanks agin... James

I find I completely kill a carto if I leave it to dry out until I get that burnt taste. My flavours taste different forever more after that. I think there is a way to bring it back to life, to some degree at least, when this happens, but I just top up little and often, avoids it from the start.

When I used them, I just kept topping up after I had finished vaping and was gonna put it down, they always lasted ages for me.

Also, the bed thing, I just left mine with the drip tip in just like I did in the day, never dried out overnight.

Cleaning, just have some tissue and clean the battery thread area before putting it on charge and or whenever you feel juice may of got on it, the cartos, just wipe the thread end here and there.

As Alvo & Sandra have said, keep them topped up.

Also agree with Sandra re just leaving the drip tip on, they wont dry out overnight. Plus also use the same cleaning method

Hi James, with cartos its best to keep them topped up. not only will you get a better more consistent vape but if the carto gets dry it'll start to burn the filler and you will get a burnt taste from that

dont worry the juice wont dry up over night... i have left a carto for weeks and its still been ok

its best to keep the contacts nice and clean... i run a cotton bud around mine at least everyday to soak up any juice ...a paper towel will do too ...some use alcohol if they are looking a bit grubby

there's an offer in the clearance section of LF right now for DCT tanks for £2.99 plus discount ...maybe try one of those...

With carto apparently as well and something else I forget

Maybe if you have carto issues be worth trying a tank?

[jlowdo]

LF??? ( discount code ?? )

also, any info ( topic already on forum ) about re-wicking. does that significantly prolong the life?

LF = Liberty Flights www.libertyflights.co.uk/
Discount Code = ECR69 gets 15% off

You can only rewick certain devices like the Stardust, CE2's and other atomisers that are sold as rebuildable etc.

That is why we are raving about the Stardust, it's a cheap device that can be re-wicked which greatly increases its life and means that we can make the device with almost any practical resistance we require.

enough money spent for now!!! think i'll get up to speed with what i currently have and look into these things if/when i get issues... so much to learn

thanks though!

They sold out very quickly of those Jane . . . although on sale now are the updated versions.
