I'd LIKE to find an Ego cover that'll go over my 510 cartos. I just got Ego batteries - no kit - so I bought a cover separately for this - but there's NO WAY, it's not even close. It's not the wrapper trouble I've heard of - it's an insert built into the cone with a tiny diameter opening. I don't know WHAT would fit through that. All the cone images look the same - you can't see inside. Is there a different cone that will fit over a "standard" 510 cartomizer?

I also got the tiny steel cone that's just like 1/4" tall - but that doesn't even reach to the carto/battery seam unless halfway unscrewed - I'm talking about something more like a full Ego cone, that would cover half of the cartomizer.

Can someone clear up if that's just not possible, or if there's a different-than-standard cone I need?
Like here, it says "Ego cones will fit over top" - well, not MY cone!
Help much appreciated!

What I found on your link OP is this here...

Spare Cover for Joye eGo

Are these what your talking about?
If so I use these for looks only, but they only work with carto's.

This is bizarre! Your link takes me straight to to the cones...

Anyway, those are the right kind and they should fit--but the fit can be tight as they were designed for atomizers, which are thinner.

That said, if there is something inside them, you may have gotten an eGo-T or an eGo-C atomizer--they have a bridge inside and look like this:

But they come with a drip tip and an atomizer--and cost 11 dollars.

BTW, you can get cones especially made for cartomizers, they are fatter and shorter, and they fit over any carto. They were made for Riva batteries; I got mine at Liberty Flights--a very long time ago...

Ahhh - that Riva cone is EXACTLY what I'm looking for.
I didn't get an atomizer - I got a cone, but there's a "ring" inside that is WAY too small a diameter for a regular carto. Sorry for me confusing things - the link went to Boge cartos becuase it said "a cone will fit over these cartos" - and that IS the kind of carto I'm using...

Maybe this will clear up my objective:
Here's what I HAVE (I hope the image function works):

Inside the cone, there's a sort of "collar" or ring, with much too small a diameter for a carto.

Here's what I'm GOING for (faked the picture):

Thanks for replies - I'm going to see if I can find that shorter, larger bore Riva cone somewhere in the U.S!

Can't tell from this angle what you got there... I have a standard eGo cone from Good Prophets and it doesn't look like that. have you contacted Rob? He's a good man--send him an email. He'll take care of you.
