Please help me find carts... struggling

[daveid777]

I prefer the smok 2ohm double hole flanged cartomizers. However, I can't find them anywhere... in fact, I can't find 35mm flanged LR cartomizers ANYWHERE! I thought I found them on Peak Vapor, but was sent 45mm XL carts (I have only standard length tanks, so I now have 10 useless carts). IBTanked is sold out, and they are my usual source, I am running close to out (a few weeks and I will be completely out of carts and not happy). I don't care about the brand, I just need 35mm ~2ohm with two holes and a flange (I guess I could punch my own holes if I could just find some carts). Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thank you!
Dave

Fusion K Series

And IKV also shows the Nitro Dual Coil 35mm also in stock

Both appear to be flanged

I had always thought that dual coil carts were a bad idea because the top coil was always drier due to the wicking nature of the cart, unless they have found a better way.

Thanks, I did find them, and sent a message inquiring if they were indeed in stock.

Well, I ordered some from WhimWham. And no sooner did Peak email me apologizing for the wrong listing which caused my confusion. They are makikg this right, but only have them without flanges.
Anyways, has anyone ever tried cutting the 45mm carts down to 35mm? The filler seems to be the same size in each, and not proportionate to the length, so I am thinking it will work. Feel free to tell me I am crazy to think this, and why would anyone try it... I work in a dental lab and have access to all kinds of diamond cutting tools and handpieces, so I know I can do it (and digital calipers to measure).

I think I've heard someone cutting them down before, you just want to smooth them or they'll tear up your O-rings. Which might already be worn some because of your previously stated tank looseness.

Most IBT users report a firm grip from their tanks and don't use the flanged cartos, I think. They were mostly used for Smoktech's loose O-ringed commercial DCT tanks.

Are you aware of the flared ego threaded covers that many use instead of buying flanged cartos?

I know some folks have had to trim cartos down for use in the PV called the Billet Box. They might be able to guide you further.

I've never heard of these threaded covers, but I'llhave a look into them. Thanks.

The cartos that IBT sells are flanged -- I use them in my UDCT.

Huh - seems to be some kind of shortage...
The place I buy my cartos has pages and pages of options, but on the Smok pages, they are ALL XL.

You can use a 45mm carto in a 35mm tank! It will stick out the top of the tank by 10mm though but it will not affect your vape at all because the liquid feeds through the holes at the bottom. Put on a drip tip and vape away
Don't waste your cartos! Desperate times call for desperate measures!

 

[daveid777]

Just a heads up, WhimWham had about 70 in stock, but will no longer be carrying them (due to no demand). I bought them all... sorry for anyone else looking, but if you are in a bind, pm me, I'm a generous person.

If IB Tanked says sold out I just sign up to be notified when they have some more and usually its just a few days that they are out.
