Whistle tips or drip tips for KR808 cartos?

[cactusgirl]

I've just begun refilling the cartos that came with my starter kit and inadvertently destroyed a couple of the plastic cap end pieces while removing them (along with the inner rubber stopper) for cleaning the cartos prior to refilling. My question is, can I replace the those end caps with something else and if so, do I still need to use the little inner rubber stopper? And IF there is a replacement that I can use, is there a specific tip I need to get that will fit these particular cartos (the prefilled ones that come with the starter kit)? Obviously SmokeTip (where I bought my starter kit) does not offer any type of blank cartos or different tips, nor have I seen any info about this on their site, because they would prefer that you just continue to order the prefilled cartos from them. I really don't like the idea of putting my mouth around the end of the carto without a protective covering.....so veterans, what's the scoop?

Hoping one of the veterans see this....^bump^

A 510 drip tip will fit an 808 carto so you could just get one of those. The little rubber stopper that you're talking about, is it an end cap, or a translucent thing inside?

V4L just started selling drip tips for their cartos. I assume it will work with your cartos..maybe post in the V4L forum. I have not bought any yet.

on KR8 I use a black delrin driptip from Vapor4Life (meant for KR8 cartos - nice and sturdy) and I also found that my LiteCigUSA.net clear colored plastic 510/901 driptip works great in KR8 cartos too (good because it sort of sucked as a drip tip - juice would get stuck in it) - it has a nice texture and feels great on the carto and looks good too. LiteCig's shipping is cheaper - should be under $3

I was also curious about the inner ring of the 808 cartos. I have 808 carts from V2 and MVS and neither have the inner ring. Does this ring enhance any part of the process, or are they just there to help keep the juice in the filler?

They also are 50/50 soft rubber/hard plastic covers. It's good to know that the 901 driptip will work as a cover. I have saved covers from the few carts I have burned early on to replace as needed.

I was thinking about trying out the clearomizers, but I am not sure I want to buy any more 808 stuff, or save the $$ for an upgrade to a big-boy PV.
