Already been posted elsewhere and I can't take credit for this, but can verify that it helps quite a bit. They (Smoktech) must have heard the complaints and jumped straight from 1 to 3 holes, when 2 probably would have been best because 3 is definitely too much. Stick a round toothpick in the middle hole, break it off, and sand or shave off the nub that sticks out after you have pushed it in a bit. Ta Da! 2 holes. Still too much flooding? Plug up another hole.
How to fix the 3 hole punched carto flooding

Yeah, it's much easier. Just shove it in hard and break it off near the surface and push down. Shaving off the remainder only takes maybe 20-30 seconds. Until ST brings out the 2 hole punched cartos, this is probably the easiest workaround until you've used up all your stock, unless the three holes work for you. For me, they always saturate before I get through half a tank, if not sooner.
Thanks for the tip, I have around 15 of the things and they flood before the end of the tank, had to find another vendor for the single-hole ones. I'll give the toothpick trick a shot.
Now get on that. Not sure how we'll get a hole to open and close up on command.
Open sesame
My solution was to go back to punching my own holes. To me, that seems easier than plugging with a toothpick and shaving it down. Although, I know there are people that probably have a lot of the 3-holes on hand and have to work with what they got.
I agree and the workaround for me is mainly for stock left on hand as you mentioned. I have no plans to purchase more pre-punched (by ST) cartos.
Also my scenario ! I won't buy any more ST pre punched 3 hole cartos, it's just for my stock on hand. I slot all my cartos with my dremel now. This works best for me because I vape mostly high VG juice.
Solder in the holes... Noob, not good, you know that contains lead right? even if you have non-Lead solder, you're still leeching chemicals in your fluid, that u cook up and inhale... wow...
Yeah, I ordered 10 and sure enough single holes. Glad I don't have to start shopping elsewhere for cartos.
