It doesn't matter the combination of battery + adaptor + atomizer/cartomizer...let the whole mess cool down before you try to take it all apart and you'll have a much easier time! As my wonderful 10 year old had to remind me "Heat expands, cold contracts".

(Feel free to insert image of red-faced mother who forgot this basic bit of science and was insisting that her adaptor was "stuck" onto her atty until her dear son came along and "fixed" the problem )

I ordered an KR808 adapter for a 510 so I could use cartomizers. I wound up hating the cartomizers because it felt like I was sucking air.

It took a few complaints about cartomizers in a few forums before someone tuned me in to the fact that the air holes on adapters can be adjusted with a small screwdriver.

Open the holes (i.e. cartomizer has a gap between it and adapter - holes showing), suck more air. Close the holes (i.e. cartomizer fits snug against adapter - holes covered), less air.

Now I love the cartomizers. They're so convenient.

I usually try to inspect and clean my batteries before putting them on the charger. My wife uses a TW 5 slot charger with 510 mega bats. It sits on our dresser. Yesterday out of the corner of my eye I noticed the led light on and within seconds the battery literally started to warp over! The metal actually got hot enough by the manual button area to bend! She has neglected to clean her bats and I'm guessing the juice crud build up between the center post(+) and the side(-) made contact in the charger. Don't know if they can explode but was sure a wake up! Please be careful!! Happy Vaping!
