Cone

[cubfanthad]

Is there a Cartomizer cone I can buy by itself? Mine is too narrow.

Hi Cubfanthad! Liberty Flights has Riva 901 cones that fit the Ego too..they're shorter & fatter to accomodate the cartomizers.
The T-Rex cones also are cut just slightly wider than the Ego cones. I use both with my Boge cartomizers and they work very well. Just my 2cents!

Thanks, I used the ego cone with the Boges and it worked ok but when I got some of the smoktech brand they were wider than the Boges and I couldn't get the cone on at all. I knew the LF had one that worked but couldn't remember which it was. Thanks.

Plastic cartos rather than metal have to be fatter, they would not be strong enough which is why the cones don't fit over them.

 

[cubfanthad]

Abe, which one cone would work the best, t-Rex or 901 Riva? I guess I mean which one has a fatter hole. (not sure that sounds very good)

 

[Abe]

Metal cartos? T-Rex I think if so, Ty's your man though.

 

[cubfanthad]

Ya metal, they are smoktech duals

Cub, I have a 901 cone and it fits over Smoktech cartos, but it's really short; about 1/2" shorter than the regular cone, so it really doesn't cover much--besides, the Smoktech cartos are a bit longer than Boge 510s. Don't know about the T-Rex cones, though... Only Ty would know for sure.

You can always try to mod your existing cone--sand off ~1/8" of the narrow end (I used #220 sand paper).

Just out of curiosity...I've been using my Riva from LF for about 4 months now, and never bother to put the cone on it. Does the cone serve a function other than just cosmetic? Thx

I think Ill give that a try, thanks

Other people use a reamer and just ream the cone out:

It tightens the draw a bit and possibly makes the vapor warmer. If you prefer tighter draw, the cone is your friend. I hardly ever bother.

 

[ZooKansas]

Thanks Katya...that's what I've noticed also, but just too fussy to constantly put on and then take off...also, don't like carrying an extra "piece" around.

I'm currently working the SmokTech Dual Coil cartos on the T-Rex and I can confirm the T-Rex cone works fine with them. Even on my 901, I always put the cone on first and then screw the carto in, because it seems on either one that doing this in reverse can do a bit of a rub on the carto body. Which is nothing big, and I'm sure is just the most slight lining issue with threading. Just became common practice for me, and a suggestion.

The draw is tight and warm, just slightly noticeable w/o the cone. Aesthetically, I like it better with the cone.

On a side note, tried both the Boge cartos and SmokTech Dual Coil cartos on both the Riva 901 (via adapter) & T-Rex 510, tried both with each others' cones, and it all works fine. But if you're going for looks, the T-Rex cone looks better with the big dual coils and the 901 seemed to look better with the Boges.

Hope this helps a bit! PS - Lovin' both the Riva 901 & T-Rex. They're both beasts.

Thanks Keener. Good observations.

I use the 901 cone with the shorter cartos (boge 2.0's). I don't like the longer 510 cones, as i tend to hold the carto in my teeth at times.

the 901 cone will allow for more air flow than the trex, while the rex cone allows for slightly more airflow than the riva and ego 510 cones.

For me (a 901 user) the cone is an essential part of the vaping setup. I'm a messy dripper and sometimes overdrip into the attie - the cone seems to hold that extra juice from making a mess until I realize I need to wipe and keeps my hands from getting juicy. Now if only lib flights would sell those new fangled tank gizmo thingie for 901s so I could switch from dripping.
