if it's a glued in hard cap.....you have to dip the tip in hot water for 20 sec or so.....just a few mms so you don't get the filler wet, then use a tool like a dental pick or a fork tine, etc. and pry it out

I carefully use the tine of a fork for those hard white caps and they pop right off. Not sure that I am understanding what the cone is? Do you have to use it with the cartos? My mom has already broken 1 of her manual Xl batteries trying to pull it out of the charger rather than unscrew it. She has 1 charger that is push in and pull out and 1 that screws in. She got confused between the 2. So I really need something simple for her. The warmer vapor and easier draw sounds so good though.
Mine have all been soft caps and I can run a fingernail around the edge and once it lifts a little, I just flip it off. I've also used a "bent-up" paperclip to pry off as well.
I ordered my blank turbos from Ben. I haven't checked all 3 packages of them, but I'm assuming they are all soft cap. Maybe Ben can shed some light on this for us. Ohhhhhh Bennnnn.........
I can't use my cone with my Defender. It closes off all of the airflow to the cartomizer completely, so consequently no flavor and no vapor. I don't mind not using it, it just looks prettier with it lol. Anyone have any idea how to remedy this? The cone fits so tightly that when I put it on it scrapes the covering completely off of the cartomizer.
Without the cone I love the Defender. Warm vapor and tons of flavor. It lasted me most of the day yesterday and finally died just before I went to bed.

Cari what exactly is the purpose of the cone other than looks?I can't use my cone with my Defender.

I'm under the impression it is purely cosmetic Dale, but it does definitely change the airflow.
The cone on TorneGoRiva batts tightens the draw and makes the vapor warmer, but it needs to be modified for cartomizers. This discussion may help you (especially post #11).

im thinking about reaming the cone out a little bit with a drill bit, just have to be kind of careful
i just got done fixing the cone issue. i just used a small file and reamed it out a bit. no damage and you cant even tell.
Got my defender today about 4 hours ago,been hitting it steady since it arrived.No sign of battery drop off yet...real slick looking as Ben has said good smooth draw I really like it.I'm usally a auto guy but thought I would try this glad I did,only issue is the cone being a little tight for some of my carts and rubbing off a bit of the labels.The more I switch cartos though it seems to go thru cone easier.Had a couple of questions Ben 1 of the batts was charged other was not no big deal just wondering if that is normal.Also when battery needs charging on these do the buttons blink like on other batts the led does,and will you ever have these in auto's.Thanks for the sample's too!
Can you use the same charger that you use for 808s with the Defender? Will it fit in a lanyard made for 808s? I have a multi charger made for 510s. I put the 808-510 adapters on the batteries and charge them. I really like using my lanyard to carry my PV around in.
I don't think you can use the same charger and the defender is to fat for my lanyard I never use.
I just tried to order 3 kits and they are out of stock. How disappointing! It says that they have 0 in stock. Oh well npow that I made my minf up that I need something better than my regular 808 I guess I will have to try egos.
Salem, try again, cause someone else said they were out of stock yesterday or sometime but come to find out it was just a browser issue.
And I was auto batts too 'til now. I'm liking the manual myself.

i cant remember what the screw does on the defender battery. does is increase airflow? anyone?
I had one batt right out of box that wasn't charged,it's been charging for 16 hours and light is still red...how long for these batts Ben or anyone?
