Help filling Royal Smokers CE2's

[tonyorion]

After bombing out completely with the clear cartos (not from here) due to stress cracking issues, I decided to try some of the CE2's in normal and XL in stainless.

On the clear ones, I removed all of the rings including the filler ring with the holes for the syringe, filled them with the syringe, and then put the filler ring back.

I see on the CE2's this filler ring is glued in. The holes appear too small for my 16 gage needles and maybe even too small for my 18 gage.

I tossed the plastic ones from my clearos a long time ago (I think these are useless anyway; once they twist, they are pretty much useless). I don't think that my juices will flow through anything smaller than 18 gage. Can I just ream the hole out with the tapered point of the 18 gage without damaging the internals?

Any ideas?

Thanks

It wont hurt to make the hole larger. I would try a 20g needle which I think is what they supply with a pack of ce2s at gotvapes. You can also bend a small hook in a paperclip and stick it into the side of the silicone coil cap and pull it hard up and try to break the glue. While that cap is off id cut the cap holes for the wick a little larger too
