They are fairly snug to the carto. I can unscrew mine with the tank attached to it without it spinning, yet I can still slide it up to cover the slot.

Ok so assuming I purchase a dremmel tool to slot some cartos myself, you wanna slot it where the bottom cap will cover it? Or the slot should be exposed within the tank? Forgive me but I'm new to vaping and it took me a long time to figure out my other tank. Anyone can answer if you know and it would be greatly appreciated

Slot exposed, you can also drill a hole in the carto as well if you dont have a dremel, some cartos work better with a hole 180% around from each other some better with just one hole, but exposed in the tank just above the bottom end cap

I thought the carto moved up and down inside the tank slide it up to refill exposing the slits, then it slides back down over the slits stopping it from filling so it dosen't flood. Maybe I'm wrong on this which is fine, because I hate the fiber they use in cartos so I don't use them. I get months of use out of a CE-2 in my tanks, I don't even drip any longer there is no need.

These tanks can be used with CE2's. That was the original design/intention. Just specify when ordering. That's my understanding, anyway.

Yea I like the CE2 durability also, I am enjoying mine. I dont mind the filler in cartos that much, especially the 2.0 ohm boges. But I think why people are leaning towards these new carto tanks is they solve alot of the leaking problems. Whenever you tilt the ce2 downward and vape after a few times it gets flooded and juice in the mouth.

Sorry I was away for a while I was turning up a special request for a friend of mine on here. The cartos need to be cut just above the top of the bottom cap. I only use one small slot, and haven't had any issues with flooding yet. I get just a little when I top the tank off and put the top back on, but that's from the air pressure displacing some of the juice. I slide the bottom cap up to cover the cut slot to eliminate this as much as possible. I still get a little juice pushing out, but it's minimal. I just give it a quick blow through and it vapes for HOURS!!!

Yep, they are a top fill. I slide the bottom cap with tube attached over the slot, fill it up. Then put the top cap back on. There is some room for movement up and down in side the top cap. Slide the whole works down to expose the slot and you're good to go. If it's a new carto, I'd give it 20 minutes or so to let it wick up some juice, or you can just add 5-10 drops to the filler before you put the cap on.

Unfortunately now for a little legal disclaimer. I have applied for a patent on this design and also the PMUFS. A portion of my original design is now being used by other manufaturers, so I have had to take steps to protect this design. I didn't put that much time and effort into my design to have it stolen for profit. Any copies that are put up for sale by a manufacturer will be dealt with by my attorney. I really hate to do this but the situation forces me to do so.
