OK, so want to hear something odd? Just for kicks I tried my 810-501 adapter and now I'm using a BOGE LR on by Buzz Pro and it handles voltage MUCH, MUCH better than the Fusion LR 2.0s! I was shocked. I's still not great... I have some other higher voltages coming but in the meantime this is an improvement. Man, I wish I hadn't bought 3 boxes of 2.0LRs from Ikenvapes:(

WOw, how big is that hole approximately?? This is obviously my problem.. my tiny holes! That hole looks HUGE. What's the size?? Thanks a lot by the way:)
It's not that big. It just looks big in that picture. It's about the size of a small paperclip. I used to make them larger but ended up with gurgling when I puffed from too much juice. You have to just play around till you get the size right for the carto your using. On the I06 Atty I made a tank with I made the hole right where the filler port screw hits the atty. I put the atty in the tank upside down so the filler port screw is at the bottom. Now I can regulate the amount of juice going into the atty by tightening and loosening the screw.

Avid Vapers has some good stealth adapters. They almost disappear when they are on your PV. Now everybody with a short adapter is calling them stealth adapters but on the original ones all you could see is a very tiny lip. See on this image the threaded part don't show so all your left with is that little ring that shows. Stealth Adapter - Avid Vaper

The one adapter I got for my Buzz Pro 801-510 fits the Buzz fine but the 510 threads don't seem to line up perectly... I can't screw the Boges in all the way down... it worked for about a day and now it's gurgling. Mark says _Yeah, this just doesn;t fit right". Odd. So now I need to buy more 810-510s ASAP. Where else can I go for them?? Would these little stealth adapters work?

Mark wants to know it ANY of you have a photo example of what these slots look like on your cartos. He's going to do it to mine... but a photo example of how it looks would be perfect. I'll ask you and Bovina and see if wither of you (or anyone else) has a pic for me. Thanks again!


OK, I see Bovia has a pic posted but it's still kind-of hard to see the size. Does anone have a photo of a dremel with these slot cuts without the carto on??



I use the simple cheapie tube cutter that comes with the low-cost dremel assortment pack, it may have even been in the original Dremel 300 box. Pretty sure it's a 426 fiberglass reinforced wheel, but any of the similar ones would be fine. It's definitely not a diamond wheel or any of the other more exotic ones, just a simple fiberglass reinforced cutting wheel.

Cut goes anywhere 1/3" to 1/2" up from the base of the carto (or up from the top of the collar on a fusion). A horizontal cut, ends up being 1/16 - 1/8" high by 1/4 - 1/3"W. Remove the bottom condom from the carto, put the top of the carto, in its condom, into a pair of vice grips lying on a table (or on a paper towel on a table); it doesn't have to be ultra-tight, you should be able to push the carto down into the ends of the vice grips.

Use safety glasses, set dremel to high speed. Make the horizontal cut at that 1/3 - 1/2" height. Don't exert much, if any, pressure pretty much just let the weight of the dremel do the job. With even light pressure it'll only take 20 seconds or so. A slight side-side motion of the dremel head works well, though isn't strictly necessary.

Don't cut all the way through the filler, but a little bit into it is no problem. If you have a little "scab" of carto metal, just pop it out with a thumb tack or small nail tip; I use a 4D nail tip. No need to sand/smooth the slot edges -- I've been doing this over 5 months, the o-rings have had no issue with the slots.

Practice on an old used carto, after even a couple test slots you'll have the hang of it, it truly is an easy thing to do.

For alternate cartos, boge 3 ohm stainless steel are fine, or Ikenvape 510 cartos at 2.5 - 3 ohms. My backup cartos, since I have an 808 fitting, are v4l cool carts at 3.1 ohms, which work quite well at 5 - 5.5V; I have a bunch of them from before the M1A1 came out.

I only use 1 slot, but due to the size of it it is equivalent to multiple punched holes. My eliquid is a pretty thin DIY, zero leak problems (the M1A1 has good seals, key to minimizing leaks).

Funny, I was just asking for a photo of these slot cuts. But Mark needs a pic of a carto without the tank on... we'll be using Boge 20s and 2.5s for the fusion until the Fusion 2.5s are back in stock. You (or anyone else) wouldn't happen to have a photo of a carto with slot cuts?? Thanks everyone!




Aww...you can sing to me any time 5C :wub:

Here's what your rotary tool slot will look like...I used my dremel on this one.

So the stealth adapter (501->801)from Avid vaper works but the stealth adapter from sorry names escapes me but was offered in gold does not work on a Buzz or Infinity?

Also if these from Avid are the ones to get can you please explain the difference between open vs. sealed center post and which to get?

I got the 801-510 adapters from Mdvapes today and the fit the exact same way.. and now BOTH are working although the fit is a bit tight and the carto doesn't SEEM to screwing in all the way (might just be my imagination). For some reason, for about 3 hours, the Ikenvapes adapter started acting funny... then I put it back on later and it worked fine (and seem better than the Madvapes version... just sturdier somehow).

Thanks for all the slots pics folks!!!!!!!!!!
