For the BP top cap there is a phillips screw with rounded top, and they also have a flat top slotted screw available. For at least some people (including me), the flat top slotted screw is better if you use cartos direct attached to the buzz pro. If you're using an adapter (e.g., now I'm using an 808/801 adapter with 801 fusions) changing the screw is unlikely to matter much, but when I direct-attach a carto to the BP the flat slotted screw provides better airflow (since the slot runs all the way to the edges of the screw).

If your airflow is okay, I wouldn't do anything. if you do think your draw is too tight, even with a fresh carto, ask Buzz if you need a slotted screw. It's pretty easy to change, remove the batteries, look at the "replacing the top cap" sticky.

I wish I could find this for sale somewhere.... I'd buy one...
The saddle valve works, but it is a pain in the ... to get everything lined up if you need to enlarge a hole, or it didn't completely pierce.

Ark, I think Clouds of Vapor sells them, but last I looked they were out of stock. Seems like I recall Mike talking about the possibility of making some but he's so busy right now it may have fallen off his "to do" list.

Everyone, Everywhere is out of stick on these.

This one seems to be the best, made just for carto punching, but costs $40.

and with a carbide spear, it should last for thousands of carto punches. It can even be set to remember the location of your punch holes, so all you do is drop in a carto, and crank down the spear...

I punched one of Ikens Mega Platinums and tanked it today in my M1A1 but anyway I got the hole a tad to big so I just used my slap yo main squeeze and turned the carto around in the tank so the filler screw is at the bottom. Then I turned the screw down into the hole and made it adjustable feed. Damn if it don't work very good. Both the Mega Platinum 510 carto and the adjustable feed M1A1. That's another reason M1A1s are the best tanks around.

OK, will a 3.0 Ohm Boge be ok on my BuzzPro?? Somehow, I got one in the mail when I was expecting a 2.5. I have a BUNCH of 2.5s coming but in the meantime, can I use this 3.0 with my tank and my Buzz?

You sure can. Just put a hole in it towards the bottom of the tank and vape on.
These Mega platinums are pretty darn good cartos.

I'm also waiting on my NHaler VPX Cartomator Stainless Steel Tank
...... not sure which I should use on the Riva and which I should use on the Buzz. But if the 3.0 isn't compatible. that makes my choice for me:)

Your fast reply rocks!!!!!!!!! THANKS!!!!!! Mark was about to slot.. but man, the video we watched the guy made HUGE slots. I use a 30VG/70PG mix.....so my liquid isn't THAT thick. One slot will do, right? I bought a bunch of pre-"dotted" cartos from Nhaler but the oles are so small when you blow through you can barely move air through. I tried one earlier on a cheap tank and it woulnd't suck up ANY juice. So I know we either have to enlarge it or slot it again.

You can use anything on the Buzz Pro but they work better with 2.5 ohms and above because then you can turn it up to get a nice warm vape with good vapor. I've tested everything from 1.3 to 3.5 ohms on it. When you get too low ohm cartos it reads them as a short. Then the protection circuit kicks in. Bet that guy that exploded his wished he would of had a Buzz Pro
