Good morning and Happy Valentines Day!
I couldn't see the photos either until they were reposted. I don't know what's up with that, but I'm glad I got to see them. I've been getting kind of anxious wanting to see new tanks. I've only had my tanks a little over a week, but I already know I need more. I don't know if it's the tank, the carto, the juice, or just me but it seems like a carto is lasting a lot longer in my lava tank than it does in my others. That is good news, but it also makes it more difficult to change out flavors when I want a flavor change. I've tried using my liquinators, but this lava has already spoiled me so my liquinators do a lot of just sitting around.
As to the conversation concerning punching cartos is concerned, I used a dremel for quite a while. It worked very well. I used a dental pick to carefully remove any slivers of metal. The problem was dragging out the tool and then dealing with all the sparks. I tried a saddle valve, but had absolutely no success with it. I have never regretted purchasing my VIP punch. It is quick and easy. It may have cost $40, but I figure my time is worth something so it has already paid me back. Btw, if you are wanting more of the VaporKings cartos, you may be out of luck, lol. It seems the lavacorps crew bought out their entire stock of 3.0's within the first couple of days of their going on sale, lol. Hopefully, they'll get some more in stock soon for others wanting in on the deal.
