I still use the boil and rinse method for my carts. I've tried using the syringe method, but boiling seems to work the best for me. I still have carts that are at least 6 months old in my arsenal. I did switch to using vinegar with the water to get the strong flavors out.

Anyone have any other methods for cleaning carts?

When you say 'carts', do you mean CARTOs?
If we are talking cartos then I have to say I never clean them. When they stop working or get clogged, just toss and grab a new one.
Cartos are not that expensive and are designed to be disposable.
Even if you toss a carto everyday (and you won't), it is still less expensive than analogs.

Yes cartomizers. How much are you paying for yours?

They are just $9.95 for a 5 pack.
But then there are the discounts:
•Buy 2 and get 5% off
•Buy 3 and get 10% off
•Buy 4 or above and get 15% off
and free shipping
Also compared to what I used to pay for ciggies, they are A LOT less expensive to replace rather than clean.
Besides, doesn't a FRESH NEW carto work and taste better than a 'cleaned' one? I think so.
And I like to keep things easy. Twisting a fresh filled carto on my eGo and I'm good to go. Switching from smoking can be stressful, why not keep it simple and reduce the stress and added work of cleaning.

I have to agree with xgrexgx,

They're so damn cheap compared to what we USED TO pay for ciggies... so why bother boiling, drying, baking cartomizers ? Just chuck em out and buy new ones. Keeps life simple.
