I bought these cartos when I first started, and they gave great flavour, but were a super hard draw. I have an arthritic condition in my sternum, and the draw was so hard that I was in pain after an hour of steady vaping.
I threw the remainder of them aside, but I had run out of all my other cartos, so I filled one up. I realized that the draw came from airflow, and at first, I was looking for a way to enlarge the notches at the bottom of the carto (the notches allow air to come in, reducing drag), but I didn't have the tools to do it.
Easy solution (and I can't believe it took me this long to think of it): Instead of working with the notches on the bottom of the carto, use a good pair of scissors or a fresh razor blade to cut a tiny, narrow wedge into the drip tip. Works better with those soft, rubber types, but if you had a hard plastic drip tip and a Dremel tool, I'm sure you could work something out. Reduced drag without making the draw "lighter"-- I still had a good, satisfying puff.
Hope that helps!
