Carts - Rinse or Soak?

[Manic_Medic]

No probs, some are giving advice re: cartos, eg boiling etc

[grizewald]

Regardless of carto or clearo, put the damn thing in the bin and take a fresh one!

x2, why waste.

I use a (ce2)clearo for months on end, takes about 2 minutes every week or so to bring it back like new. Throwing it away would be ridiculous.

Can I ask what method you use and also are they re-buildable clearos? I'm still a bit new to all this

If you got menthol inside the best thing what you can do soak the clearos in lemon juice for 3-4 days, this is a way how you wash out the mentol taste.

They are not rebuildable, at least not officially. It is possible to recoil/wick them but it isn't easy. When the wiring snaps is when I give up with them.

I dry burn them once every fortnight or so, that is all it takes. There are a few things I do differently to this video (and there is a better video somewhere but I can't find it) but this is the general idea. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpy76mc7d...ults_video

does anyone recoil/wick the visions?....i must have pulled the wire loose on one a few weeks ago and succeeded in taking it apart and effectively rebuilding with the old coil and wick. A bit fiddly but nevertheless less than 5 minutes and saved on buying a new head.

The one's with the changeable heads (especially the Vivi Novas and Mini Novas) are very easy to recoil and rewick.

Not so sure about the one's with no changeable head. I used to just rinse and dry burn those until they packed up completely.
