Can I ask another question, please?
I know that international shipment of PIF offers is not allowed. Can a member outside US accept a PIF offer and ask to be shipped in a US address (maybe to a friend's house, who will then carry it forward)? Would it violate the rules?
Thanks in advance

Thats fine - its been done before
Perfect! Thank you very much for your reply.
On the saddle valve punching front, in another thread Iffy pointed to a specific saddle valve available on e-bay that has apparently worked well (the one I tried from Ace Hardware didn't), runs just under $10 total including shipping. I've ordered one to test it out (I use a dremel, slotting, since I already had one).
This is the product I tried, on Ebay: RO DI REVERSE OSMOSIS SADDLE VALVE ADAPTER FILTER, $6.99 + $2.95 S&H. It consists of two blocks of machined aluminum (?), with a single large brass bolt used to provide the compression between them.
To use it, screw the piercing valve down until you see it protruding as far as you want it to penetrate, then count the number of turns to retract it back into the main section. Put the carto in place between the two parts of the saddle, and lock it in place with the brass fitting. Screw the piercing valve back down, N turns, then retract it.
For me, 2-1/2 full turns seemed about right. Very little carto deformation, a single small, clean, hole. The hole is small, so I'd put several of them in a carto, else widen the hole slightly with a regular nail or countersink/punch once the initial hole is there. Moderate fiddle factor, getting the carto in place, since the bottom half of the saddle is a separate piece of aluminum, however the net result is pretty nice. Much cleaner hole then I got with the saddle valve from Ace, it looks like the piercing part is nice and sharp.
I'll stick with my dremel, slotting, since I already have one and it is fast for me. On the other hand, at $10 (much less expensive than a dremel), this isn't bad as far as I can see. YMMV

Noted.
You're made of awesome. Thank you Mary!
Hey y'all- I found 2 cartomizers- and I dont know how to use them-
They look like a normal carto- they are black- But, instead of having a rubber peice that comes out, there is a hard plastic peice with a hole in it. when you take that out there is another small black round peice that has 2 pin holes in it and then I really cant see any further into it.
its an xl- or at least its pretty durn long- It came with a condom on both ends.
I tried the condom method, but that didnt really work to fill it - and if I syringe it from the top, it ALL pours out the bottom-
anyone know what this is or how I use it?

With you saying the inner ring has 2 pin holes it sounds like it may be some form of a CE2. To fill that you have to use a syringe and place it on the outter most area of the ring next to wall of the cartomizer. If you try to do it down the center it goes right down the air chamber and out of the battery end and condom filling will not work as it has no filler just a wick.
aww dont worry about that- I dont care who answers me- heck, I'm a month from being a vet and dont know... LOL
and Nope- thats what i thought- fill from the sides- but its NOT a CE2- CE2's I am good with- its what I used forever- till they all died on me and I havent replaced them because I am trying to find what I want- I LOVE fluxo's but hate having to replace them so often. Then I found saphires, and fell in love- but they go bad too quick too- then, I went with the chibi, it didnt really work for me, THEN it was the acorn, and again- PITA- not worth it. - LOL Typical woman, never satisified, and always wanting bigger and better...
I am *THINKING* its a Joye ego cartomizer- I looked and looked- you DO have to have a syringe to fill it. BUT, you peirce the middle part, and fill that way- of course, I think I filled too quickly, it still came out- but it is kinda working, and the description was about the same-
I dont like it- but, beggers cant be choosers. LOL till I get something else its this or atties and carts- and I am out of filling for the carts.

I know what you mean about trying different things, I have settled on the CE2s and MAP tanks so far...LOL
if you are using a 510 threaded pv you might want to look at what I use. it's not very popular, but works for me. I do have to fiddle with them a little bit, sometimes moving the poly around so it wicks better, but overall I find them fairly trouble free.
it's a clear tank cart. it doesn't require a special atty. you can see one here:
BreezEsmokes - Premium Electronic Cigarettes
if interested let me know I can tell you some other vendors who carry them
Q, that sounds like a Joye carto. Just drip 20/25 drops in the bottom, shake, good to go.
