They are awesommmeeee. Not sure the exactly sure of the differences specifically between ikv and let's say boges, but the taste/th/flavors comiing out of them, to me, are a lot better. They are mostly single coils in a standard or xl size (ones longer than the other for larger tanks). Punching cartos is for use inside of a tank, so if you're just using the carto by itself, you don't punch them. However if you do use a tank system, they do sell prepunched ones, but punching is easy and I like doing it myself.

They have a few different lines of cartos, silver, platinum, gold, or fusions. They are all good, fusions being the best supossidely, haven't tried them yet because I can never find them in stock. Which is my biggest problem with ikenvape...their stock is always out!

They are good carts they have punched ones that work. they are single coil both low and standard resistance. Yes they have both standard and the longer ones. They will work on your batteries but Id get the Lr ones if I were you. You need an adapter for 801 fusion 510 to 801
You could very easily see this stuff at their websight also.

I have seen their stuff but I can't tell what is punched and what is not punched. All of their stuff seems to have holes in them already.
For tanks, where do I find tanks for their cartos? They don't seem to sell tanks for their own stuff.

If they have holes it'll be mentioned in the description. If holes aren't mentioned...they are regular cartomizers without holes. I buy the "non punched" ones all the time (platinum) and punch my own because I align my holes a bit different from the way pre-punched ones come.

Okay so it seems that punching holes is easy and I can do it with household tools. If I get these and I decided that I want to punch them, how do I know what tanks will work? I don't know if my tanks will fit.

I buy prepunched.

Punching cartos can make the carto go out of round. That means it won't fit in the tank any longer.

Drilling them means you may get metal shards in the air hole. Not good.

You could also damage the filler materials.


Beware....

Typed on my mobile. Please excuse typos.

So how much juice actually fits in these cartos? I'm thinking of getting one to just try it out but I don't want to get it punched because of the possible lack of tank.

You can get an inexpensive "carto punch" at most vendors for around $6. They work very well, but there is a slight learning curve. DCT Cartomizer Punch (pay no attention to the "reviews" ..there are two...whoever those people are haven't learned how to use the tool yet). I use one of those all the time. Once you hear a "whoosh" or "pop" noise you stop turning the screw. You can widen the hole a bit with a dental pick or sharp wood screw tip. Anyway...no need to "warp" or bend the carto at all if you pay attention. I never do...and I use all sorts of tanks...Smoktech, Boge, etc. If the carto is tight..turn the tube over so the "grooved" end is up towards the mouthpiece and it should fit fine.

You don't "brutalize" the carto. You just want to get a hole in there. You don't need to play Tarzan and try to muscle it or bully it to bend to your will! lol!
