Just found the greatest end cap remover . . .
(or whatever you call the piece you need to remove in order to drip into your carto).

My good old #9 steel crochet hook. Works like a champ. Fits in the little hole perfectly, and the hook on the crochet hook grabs the end cap perfectly as well.

Until my big order arrives for my KGO and supplies, I'm just dripping into my little blu's cartomizer.
Well, besides the end cap on the blu carto, there is a tiny white washer. The crochet hook grabs that perfectly as well, and then the blunt .... end of the crochet hook smartly taps that washer back in place.

Us ladies have some perfect tools on hand, LOL. You guys go grab one at your local Wally World.:laugh:

Us guys, not being into crochet hooks, (they have numbers?), like those little 2" long dental hooks that come with a cap and keychain and can be found hanging in the toothpaste aisle of most drugstores. They have a million other uses too, including wick fluffing and post pulling. You know how we like to fluff our wicks and pull our posts.:blink:

LOL I "borrowed" my wife's long, long hairpin to put in my vape Box. She also bought me this cheap screwdriver kit yrs ago. I was in construction and have 5 of everything so "what was she thinking"? Turns out there's a short screwdriver pick in the kit that has a gently hook on the end...perfect and don't the ladies always know :facepalm:

The wire handle thingie from a mini binder clip:

Just squeeze it and it pops right out of the black part. Plus, it's easier and less lethal to carry around, doesn't lose its shape, and already has the perfect bend for leverage! :laugh:

I work in a legal copy chop and use the same thing. We have these little binder clips lying around all over the place, and I liberated one of the handles for popping open cartos.
