So for the past month i dont use my adapter due to the fact of no air flow with cartos and then boom today i see this video and now it works great i am kicking my self i tried everything haha That notch on top actually ALlows ADJUSTMENT OF THE GAP THERE FORE THE DRAM can believe i didnt try that
YouTube - S2V cartomizer adapter airflow adjustment

check that out if u have this issue also this fixed it and now i love the carto. ill just say u can move the center post yea to push the bottom post down but that is not the promblem it was the top side with the slit in it all u do is screw it like u would be loosing a screw and boom it comes up more and there is great air flow now check that video out for sure so pump. Thanks all figure i would share what saved me. Hope this helped you as it helped me

"unbeknownst to me..."

Huh! You and me and the rest of the vaping world, it seems. Was anyone else aware of this little adjustment? I discovered it more or less accidentally when I was going to trim the silicone insulator down a bit. I felt that if I took too much off the sleeve that the post would short out the atty connection and we'd have some sort of pyrotechnic display from my SB. Screwing the post in and out revealed that the button on the other side would extend and retract a like amount. Again I said Huh! and turned it in a smidgen and voila! Success!.

Hey youse guys at AltSmoke...
Put a little instruction sheet in the plastic bag of those adapters for the newbies so their head doesn't collapse trying to draw through the adapter. :)

I've been tweaking my adjustments all along to get that "sweet spot" for airflow.... I didn't realize so many people didn't know of this or I would have mentioned it long ago.... Started using cartos right after suggested to me when having trouble with 510 wicking... Now only use 510 attys to sample test batch liquids... After the test they go right into my carto, if good of course. Still using my 510 batts because I haven't broken down and bought a KR kit, and some of the center posts on my bats are at diff heights...

Anyone using KR808D-1 cartos, I would highly recommend the premium blanks from v4l. I was getting the cheap ones from HG, and these hold more, last longer, produce more consistent vapor, TH and flavor. All in all.... WELL worth the higher price. (also they use a rubber stopper rather than a plastic tip and rubber gasket, so easier to refill)

I just started with the carto;s and wondered why one of my 510 to 901 adapters worked and the other did not. I was using and adapter then another purchased 901 to kr8 adapter (about the same size as a regular 510 cart). So the end result was rather unsatisfactory ( loooong ).
Huh, who'd a thunk it. thx for the tip

I can't believe that I didn't know that the slot in the carto was for draw. I'm not using an adapter but I adjusted a brand new 510 carto that was pulling too much air and now it is perfect. Turn right for tight.

Thank you so much.

Oops. Got a little carriied away and broke it. Word of advice. Don't try to turn it too much. :(
