I would advise against turning the center flange of a CARTOMIZER with a screw driver.
The reason being is that the atomizer wire is conected to the center flange and it is easy to break.
Seems to me that pluging one of the side air holes is a safer method.

From another post:
Someone (forgive me, I forget who it was!) posted that you can use a small screw driver in the slotted part of the threaded end of the cartomizers to turn it and tighten (or loosen) the draw. I did it, and it worked great. No toothpicks required.

Yes... this is a VERY BAD idea.
You can easily damage the cartomizer this way. And it is also possible to short-out the cartomizer via doing this.. which can damage your battery (permanently).
Bad Idea turning the screw, your twisting the coil inside as well and like Scott said can damage your battery or possibly worse. Think of the exploding batteries in mods.
I've been using a drop of superglue to plug one of the holes.
If you can find it the 'gel' version of the glue works really well.

I've done that to and it works primo. Just ahve to remember to not screw the battery on the carto untill the s-glue is fully dried!
Yes I am glad Scott jumped in,, but FWIW I was first and scott supported the statement...
@Scott thanks for staying on it
Hey, maybe cartos arn't for right for you. You can always go back to carts, right?
I had also read somewhere about turning the end of a cartomizer to adjust the air flow and I've tried it on two different ones and each time it has killed them. I have learned my lesson the hard way.
Thanks now I can stop clicking refresh waiting for your reply
Ok now back on topic,sorry
This is just another reason among many that I put the 510 in the closet for good. If anyone wants it, it is for sale-cheap. Too much mess, too much aggravation, too much burnt taste to mention a few of the reasons.
KR808D-1 is the way to go IMO.
Good Luck to you!

That adjustment is to be used on the adapters. He is right about ruining the carto if you turn it to far and break off that element attached to it. I would take a spare condum, if you have one, cut off the end and slide it down over the holes untill you get the desired draw.
This is my experience as well, and like an idiot I did my first experiment on cartos that had my 2 favorite flavors in it...argh. It didn't work on the first one so I then tried a second...doh!
Anyhow, for anyone reading, what happened to my cartos is that I had virtually NO draw at all after the "adjustment." It's not like the atty part died, more like some mechanism was closed off so that no flow of air or anything could get through, so in order to get *anything* you'd have to suck like a Dyson vacuum cleaner. And no matter how many times I tried to "re-screw" it back to where I started, it stayed the same.
It's doubtful I would try this again, but I do wonder if I pushed down too hard while using the screwdriver. Probably not, maybe it's just not a good idea for cartos.
No problem Bro didnt mean to keep you in hiatis like that LOL
