just a question about cartomizers???

[xbshine]

hi guys, have a little question i need to ask,,, i was wondering if its ok to make a 45mm cartomizer a 35mm cartomizer? making it fit on my mini tanks, because a 45mm cartomizer just looks ridicolous on a mini tank,, my tanks are from momandpopvaporshop.com the mini sub tank,,, i have a bunch of 45mm cartomizers, and just wondering if it can be done,, if i cut it to make 35mm,, when you put the drip tip in itll be closer/touching the foam inside the cartomizer. is that ok to use it???

thanks guys for reading this,

I don’t see why not, just make sure you clear the metal connection that loops from negative to positive or vice versa. if you look down the cartomizer maybe you could see it. try it and see what happens if it clear connect it to a tester and see resistance and continuity.

all ok try it!

What the above poster said. I would make sure you have about 5 cartos to experiment with to make room for a learning curve. Also I would recommend a very fine toothed saw or some really really good cutters made for pipe work so you don't crush the carto. Good luck.

I'm going to say don't do it. The only carto on the market that you could lop off 10mm easy is the boge f16. That polyfill is low!

But, also I am going to disagree that it doesn't look good too. I used to think only what I thought looked good was the truth. That's not always the case. I used to think mismatched batteries to heads were uncool, now I think anything different is cool.

Try an extra short and straight drip tip first. Don't use a giant funky fat tip and see if you like it.

guys i did it, and i failedd ahhahhahah,, i put one of those white caps inserted through the cartomizer when you first get your new cartomizers and i pushed it down enough to pass the 35mm range i was gonna cut for,, but unfornatley, FAIL ahahhahah i used a table grinder, with a finishing grinding diskk,,,

I'm going to go with Peacepipe on this and NOT recomend cutting any more of your cartoz to shreds. But if you decide to do it anyway, I'd recomend that you use a Dremmel or something like that inbsted.

Sorry to hear about that. If you have a high quality plumber's pipe cutter with a new sharp wheel/ blade that would do the rick. Had to cut a carto while up at the cottage and the pipe cutter worked great. Kinda hard to cut but doable.
