Can someone explain what a ....-plug is?

[SilverStrings]

I'm talking about the ones that relate to cartomizers. I've ordered some carts and I've been filling them using the "condom method", by pouring juice into the end cap and then pressing the carto into it, end-tip first... its basically what this guy says to do in his video: YouTube - A double demo! The Cartomizer Condom Filling Method, and the Taryn Spin.

He says "make sure you use the one without the .... plug" when after he picks up the end caps.. does one of them have a .... plug? Or do only certain kinds of caps have them? Or do certain cartomizers have them? What do they look like? In all the threads I've found, people are either talking as though these ".... plugs" are common knowledge or having a laugh about the terminology. Do you have any idea how hard it is to get a relevant search result from Google for these terms?

Some customizers have one end cap with a nipple in the center that inserts into the throat of the customizer. This is sometimes referred to as the .... plug.
(On an analog the filter is referred to as a ....)

I see.. so if my caps look exactly the same (I use the standard 510 cartomizers) then I can user either one probably.. I thought that one of the caps might be called a .... plug because of different diameters or something, and confused the hell out of myself. So no nipple sticking out of the bottom of either cap = no .... plug = no worries

Yes the little protruding point is in the inside, the 510 cartos I have from SLB did not have one, but the ones from BOGE did.

btw: I'm not sure that the little point would have much of an impact on filling, you just may not be able to push the carto all the way down.

Some plugs are not attached to the caps. Sometimes when you pull the cap off there is a sep insert in the cartomizer. Just so you will know to look out for them.
