The best thing about the 510 is that it runs hot and produces warm vapor. Melting carts (particularly on 5v mods) are a hazard of the 510. Switching to drip tips is a good way to go if you like dripping. If you're into carts (like me) you just have to learn how to align the opening with the atomizer bridge and make sure to top the cart off VERY frequently.

I'm finding I melt carts at 3.7V... :oops:

A little melting isn't really a big problem, it's just that the idea of inhaling any fumes is unpleasant. You can minimize it by making sure that the bridge is centered in the atomizer (it can be nudged around gently with a toothpick or something). Also, like I mentioned, some swear by aligning the opening of the cart with the white oval in the bottom of the atomizer.

Yeah, I'm not too bothered about it, my drip tips should arrive in a few days. :)

If you're not dripping you can still cut off the sides of the cart that would otherwise melt. Should still hold in the filler without causing additional leakage.

Will look something like that. I've done it on a couple before I just decided to switch to dripping. I'm not completely sure that the fluval isn't melting either since I take long draws.
