M1A1 Tank Help

[Beans]

Hi guys, I'm finally ready to hook up my new Ipro with this nifty M1A1 tank but I'm having a few technical difficulties.......

How in gods name do you get the Carto inside of the tank? I know, obviously stick it in the hole...... I'm using Boge SR cartos with a 1" tank. They should work together right? But it doesn't fit I even cut my hand open trying to push the Carto inside. I know I must be doing something wrong. Can someone let me in on the secret? My cartomizers seem like their diameter is too large. Thanks for the help all

Are you using SS cartos, or if not, taken off the black wrapper/sticker?

 

[Beans]

Is that it? Yep, I have the black ones Know an easy way to get those off?
Thanks

The quickest way is to attach it to a dead battery, or one you don't care about, or an adapter, then put it in a drill. Grab some sandpaper and fire up the drill. Another way is to peel off the sticker by hand and run the carto under hot water or use a hot wash cloth to get the glue off.

It's a tight fit!!! I had a heck of a time the first time too but found if you wet it a bit it slides right in! (no UTC guys!) ;P

I use the condom method to fill carto first and that helps to lube the exterior a bit. It also ensures no dry hits or burning filler.

**Oops! I see Mod is already answering ya. =) Yes, SS cartos are MUCH easier!** All my black ones were demoted to the boyfriends eGo.

BRB, need a cold shower.

LMAO Mod!!!!!

The whole time I was typing this I was like.... Good lord, it all sounds so....well you know!!! hahaha

 

[Beans]

Thanks Guys! I peeled and punched one. PITA! and it's sliding nice and easy now. Oh I can't wait to try it. Thanks for the tips!

 

[Modrod.]

No problem, glad to help.

You're very welcome Beans!!! Let us know what you think.....I LOVE mine!!!!

LOL Beans...I missed your post while I was de-labeling a carto! It is a pain in the ... if you don't have the SS ones. I used a blow dryer to heat it up, peel off the label and had a light bulb moment...I scraped the glue off with a box cutter this time. Kinda like whittling a stick LOL. Then a paper towel wet with rubbing alcohol to clean it all up

Mod and Tracy, now the voyeur in me needs a cold shower too! I lube the top of my carto before I ram it home too

 

[Modrod.]

BRB, need another cold shower.

 

[908Tracy]

Here's to "ramming our cartos home" Bov!!!!! hahahahaha

 

[Modrod.]

Dammit! BRB

 

[Beans]

Haha Bovina, I'll try the blowdryer and box cutter next time or better yet gonna buy me some SS cartomizers Phew... that was some serious work but thanks to all the help I'm in. Not real happy either.......I'm thinking I need a Buzz pro now too. Man vaping has just gotten so easy Thanks for all the help!

 

[908Tracy]

I hear ya Beans! They're like potato chips girl....no one can have just one!!! I'm a Buzz girl for sure, love the feel of it, the weight of it, the tank on it, etc. but can't help but wonder what an IP is like. A BP or IP and a tank is as fiddle free as vaping gets!!!! <3 it!!!

 

[Beans]

You should try the IPro, I've had the OG OO for 7 months and really liked it, the Pro 2 weeks now, and this is much nicer. They improved the top cap and it made 100% difference in the thing. It's so sleek even with the tank. But it does peak my curiosity about the Buzz. I'm thinking I need some color in my life. I just have to decide Blue or Purple

 

[908Tracy]

Now see Beans, if we lived in close proximity we could meet up.....you with your IP and me with my BP! We could swap for a few and check them out.

And I'd bet it would end up with you buying a BP and me an IP anyways!!!! lol Would be fun though.

 

[Beans]

I think we'll end buying regardless of trying them or not but it would be fun to play. Damn it! I swore I was going to stop maxing out my CC with mods.
