Cleaning Rainbows

[CupCake]

Hi all

(I'm posting this in newbies cos I've still got loads to learn - hope that's OK Mods)

I've been using the Rainbow cartos for a couple of weeks now. I give them a quick swish in warm water then dry thoroughly with tissue paper after giving them a bit of a blow. The problem is, when the fresh juice goes in and I try to vape, it just makes a gurgling noise and no vape appears. I leave them for a while then they seem OK. Is this normal, is it because the carto has had water in it? Any tips welcome, thanks.

That's all I do - hot water shake empty repeat a few times. Then either use until vapour starts or just fill and leave overnight and next morning they work normally.
So I guess it's normal.
Some people recommended dry burning or something but when I tried that mine started tasting horribly burnt and never came right.

Thanks fagin, it's good to know it's normal then.

yeah that sounds pretty normal i tend to refill them after cleaning and jus keep going til it works as normal and the juice comes thru only takes a couple of mins. be careful not to clean them with water thats too hot as i warped/melted on of mine!

The wick will still have water soaked into it that has to be evaporated away, Just half fill with hot water and shake vigorously for a bit and empty, repeat a couple of times till the water is clear then attach the mouthpiece and blow through long and hard, this should get most of the water from the wick at the coil. Then fill with juice. Be prepared for a funky taste for a few puffs and reduced vapour till all the water has evaporated.

For the price of them, I don't think I could be bothered faffing around. Apart from the one I burnt, mine have lasted well over a month, so I reckon even at a couple a month they're still cheap.

I will need your address of course Fagin....for the Christmas Card

You just sent me a couple last week, so you have my address....

As a matter of interest, with the new long wick ones, are the old short wicks still going to be available as I prefer those?
