510 Carts Slipping Off

[Daemonz80]

Newb here, but has anyone else had problems with the 510 cartridges slipping off the atty. I kind of wish they were like my drip tip that has the rubber bands to help keep pressure that holds it in place nice and tight. Maybe its just the carts I got from the vendor.

If you take a knife or razor blade and cut a shallow line around the cart near where it stops entering the atty it will raise enough material on the cart's mating surface to tighten up a mildly loose cart. It would be simpler to buy another cart or use 901 type carts which are generally a real tight fit in 510 attys.
