I can't find them at Vaporgeek. I am looking for the prepunched ones (not sure if they are flanged). All I see are the regular ones. I want to use them in a tank on my LT. I have the DC but they are not great
I don't think Boge cartos have flanges on them in any of their sizes. I also don't think that they come pre-punched either. You would have to punch a hole (with a saddle valve) or slot (with a dremel) in the carto. To get 3.0 ohm cartos, you would need to order the standard resistance which is in the 2.7-3.3 ohm range. If you're still interested in them, they do sell the stainless steel cartos to put in a tank.
I was wondering the same thing... pre-punched any reasonably ohmed single coil for that matter. Sure if no vendors carry them yet it will only be a matter of time. Seen some in the states such as at madvapes and mom and pop vapour shop but none so far out here. On to the self-punching tutorials we go....
There are various ways to put a hole in a carto or make the existing one bigger.
1) Saddle valve
2) Dremel
3) Hammer and Nail.
4) Drill with a very small bit (1/16")
5) Buy a punch tool from various vendors (can't remember the names of them)
6) Hub and Screw: see this thread on how to diy (diy carto punch
There are pros and cons to each method, so I'd recommend doing a search on the forums to find your preferred method.

Its incredibly easy and cheaper to punch yourself. Go to any Canadian Tire or Hardware store and look for a 1/4" Self-Tapping (the only type I've seen, but alas the one you want) Saddle Valve. It may not actually be labeled a saddle valve and it may not be put together so you may not recognize it - for this reason, I would ask for the associate's help in the plumbing section. Read this first so you can prepare yourself if they aren't sure what it is: Saddle valve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The guy at the Canadian Tire I went to months ago called it by something else, so I had to explain it's purpose in plumbing to him. These are less than $10 and will last forever. There's really zero learning curve. My only tip is to just make sure you tighten the screws down onto the carto as far as they will possibly go so there's no room for the punch to slide down next to it and miss.
You could always get the 1.5 ohm dual coil and just cut the top wire turning it into a 3ohm single coil
If you're feeling handy, there's a dremel tool that comes with a ton of accessories that I picked up at Canadian tire for about 15 bucks.

Actually, being in a new place, I found this thing to be a doing a lot more than just slotting cartos.
Otherwise, if you're willing to settle on an american vendor, madvapes will do you nicely and has fair shipping.

I don't get why people would pay $40 and shipping for something they can get from any local hardware store for a quarter of the price that does the exact same job, the exact same way. But to each his own, we just don't all have money to burn on such silly things I guess 
Does this look like it ChellyNelly, it is at Canadian Tire for $5.19plus tax. Called "Plumbshop Self Piercing Tap Valve."
That is exactly it!
You just put it together, a few of the pieces you won't need for this application, you'll know which ones since it's fairly simple to put together.
The top coil wire is exposed. All you have to do is cut it. Those little scissors that girls have for their nails work great to do this (I don't know what they are called /dumb_male)
