I bought a set of these pliers today at an auto parts store and it worked great! The holes fairly small but work fine with the thin juice I'm using. Haven't tested with a thicker juice yet.
Nice im glad sumone had success so far. yeah i havent tryed with thicker juices either ive only been vaping 70/30 pg/vg and it works pretty well. i would imagine thicker juice wouldnt be a problem ,only cus when u take a hit on the tank with out pressing the button u can see it feeds the juice in the tank everytime u inhale cus there is air bubbles that come from the hole. so i say a good way to test thicker juices and how well it feeds is take a hit without pressing the button see if airbubbles come out of the hole , just my opinion tho ive only been vaping since january =)
Last night I bought the ones in the harbor freight link I mentioned previously. I pulled out one of my extra boge cartos for some flavor or another and tried it in the store. Worked very very well. Went right through the casing, no problem at all. The hole mine made didn't look to be as big as the one dreww2021 made, but I didn't push them all the way in so they could have gotten bigger I guess, though I wouldn't really want them bigger. They're fine the way they are now 
I saw the other wire strippes at my local harbor freight as well. They had some yellow handled ones that looked similar, but after looking closer, they were very very blunt between the different wire gauages that wouldn't have pierced paper.
Yep, I looked closely at those. They had a space on the wall where the correct wire strippers were supposed to be, but they were all gone.
Oh, and the guy who was helping me kept telling me they wouldn't work for what I wanted to do. I was like, "but but but... my imaginary friends said they would!"
Just go back and tell him that you conferred with your imaginary friends and that we've have tested it and it works great, and so now he needs to assist you
I can't imagine that they would be hard to find at other places like lowe's, home depot, autozone or other hardware or automotive stores.Just go back and tell him that you conferred with your imaginary friends and that we've have tested it and it works great, and so now he needs to assist you
Yep, I plan on looking at other hardware stores. The 5 year old is out of kindergarten for the day though, and I have to take him to the doctor to have his staple removed (head injury), so tinkering is over for the day.
You're just a moving fool today huh? Keeping the house clean and neatly arranged

I had the one from HF(store is a couple miles from me). It made the first hole, no problem, the second one was kinda crushed, so just finished witha small phillips and hammer- easy, I was ready to give up on metal cartos.
Works pretty well huh Pamdane? No need to make a jig, just a simple pair of wire cutters. Who knew? lol
what i do is after the first one punches through and the second one is having a hard time flip it over and repeat, works everytime
I guess one side is stronger/pointier than the other? I've been meaning to do a video, got busy with the kids last night so I didn't get a chance. Won't have the kids for most of tonight and tomorrow her ex comes and gets them for the weekend, so I should have some explanatory videos soon
Like the idea of the wire stripper. I kept on looking at altering my ratcheting mechanical wire crimper. These are not the usual chintzy crimpers you find at a hard ware store but have 4 thin metal plates that are removable by a set screw. Use a dremel or drill to round 3 of the plates to the size of the carto and use the 4 to make a prong. If done right it pierces the carto the same amount each time or you could set the ratchet to disengage for smaller holes This also would keep it round with out distorting it. Also once it starts to ratchet it will not let go until the carto is puched or the jaws are closed. But unless you have one of these already laying around its not really worth it, the jaw are cheap but the tool is expensive.

NP, we all had to learn at some point, right?
We make the holes in a carto for placement in a tank. The tank holds lots of extra juice, and the holes in the carto allow the juice to absorb into the carto from the tank.
See this link as an example (just a quick one I knew where to find - I'm not recommending it necessarily, as I haven't tried this particular one, although I do like this supplier. ).

A good photo - shows the carto w/the holes. Hope this helps!
