That wont be possible im afraid. Part of obtaining the mystery from the wise turtle of the mountain, is to make it into a soup. It was rather delicious - and more importantly very enlightening!

But thats nothing compared to the insight of the Texan Sand-Yeti. It will be harder to catch him - and it WILL be really hard to get him into the bottle of sacred Tequila -but oh it will be worth it.

Anyone use cartomizers and find that cartos don't fit with the cone.What I mean is my cone will not slide over my cartos.I have to remove the sticker covering the carto to fit the cone over it.If anyone has used them without sticker removal please pm me where ya got the cartos.

 

[SudokuGal]

My kr808 from Nhaler fit good. I have some others that don't...you wouldn't think there would be that much difference, would you?

 

[MacDiver]

I got my cartos and adapter from Good Prophets. I had to get the tobacco ones as they were out of the emptys and still are as of right now. I boiled the tobacco flavor out of them before I used them. It is a tight fit but it goes over it with no problem.

What refill method do you use?

 

[justsomeguy]

I got 808 cartos and 510 to 808 adapters from cigtechs (I believe) - the cone is definitely a little bit tighter which winds up affected the draw...but it does fit.

 

[Scottbee]

I can get the cone over without removing the sticker, but that screws up the airflow and makes the draw a bit too hard for my tastes.

I have one specific cone that I now use with cartomizers. I have used a reamer to open up the end of the cone so that there is sufficient clearance between the cone and the label in order to provide proper airflow.

Scottbee,

Got a pic of your reamer? I need to loosen mine up too and don't have a clue what to use.

Thanks!

This isn't actually what I used.. but I know that you can get tapered hand reamers like this at most hardware stores:

P.S. But... a 3/8" drill bit is a really good starting point.

I've been using my cone and my cartos with no problem really...fitting wise. Once in a while there is one that is really tight but most of them fit without a problem. The draw is really hard on them most the time though, never thought to open them up a lil with a reamer....there may be one sitting around here some were, might not know how to use it properly though.

 

[Scottbee]

As I kinda mentioned in the previous note, the 3/8" drill bit is a really good starting point.. perhaps all that you'll need. But I wouldn't use it with a power drill. I'd probably put the drill bit in a vice or maybe ViceGrips, grab the cone with a rubber "jar opener" pad.. and hand-work the drill through the end opening. You won't be taking off much material, so it shouldn't be that hard to do.

(that was my abbreviated response, full responses to Bella usually draw the wrath of the mods .... )

 

[Ionredline]

Thanks for the replies I'll have to try the drill bit.

 

[Scottbee]

I can't believe that I successfully got out of a conversation that involved Bella, drilling, reaming, and tools....

its not finished yet or is it ?

I use "paperless" or "label-less" cartos: the stainless ones from midwest vapors. They fit great! I was always an auto battery girl. I use the manual eGo for the 510 and stainless T-tip set up and the stainless cartomizers with the eGo auto batteries. I do love the draw on the autos with the cartomizers. Very nice.

And Scottbee, I'm not even going there in conversation. Your avatar is Greg House...mmmm...dee-lish.

Which adapters do you use?

 

[stubear62]

I use the empty carto's from V4L an fill with my own juice. The cone goes over easy. I bought 25 and only one was a bit tight..
All the others the cone went over with no problem at all.

 

[Sojourner]

I use the 510 to kr808/cartomizer adapter from altsmoke. The adapter and stainless cartomizer fit perfect, great draw, and looks like it was made for the eGo.

 

[Sojourner]

Oh and yes, these are blank and I fill with my favorites.

what's a cartomizer lifetime? more or less...
