So you have stealth adapters huh?
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.WOw, how big is that hole approximately?? This is obviously my problem.. my tiny holes!

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.

Also, ANOTHER question....The Reo group seems to be DEAD (no replies to any of my posts). Where else could I go for Reo advice??

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).
Aww...you can sing to me any time 5C![]()
Here's what your rotary tool slot will look like...I used my dremel on this one.
