Punched Cartos

[gonzok]

Best place to get them? Best way to make them? LR and and Dual coils specifically.

is the easiest way to punch a carto. It's called a saddle valve and can be purchased for about $7-ish from any home improvement store.

+1 for the saddle valve.
I've used a hammer and very pointed screw or nail- but the saddle valve is better- keeps the carto 'roundness' better.

Just got a saddle valve. Thanks!

You'll probably have to play with the size of the hole by the depth of the hole you punch. The further you twist the handle after it punctures the case, the bigger hole it makes. This can also vary per juice, as some juices are thinner than others and wouldn't need as big of a hole to wick properly, and could possibly leak with too large of a hole.

First I've heard. What do you do with it after you punch it?

You put it in a carto tank Like the one at the far right of my avatar.

Seriously Dave.. Find yourself a carto tank. This is the cheapest I know of.. Baby Notta - $12.99 : Stormys Vapor Cellar, Electronic Cigarettes & More I have never ordered from this company though. Many other places sell what is called a J-Tank. I got mine from electronicstix. That tank in combination with a 'punched carto' will make your vaping life much easier.

Now what to punch??.. Smok Tech Metal 1.7 ohm 510 Cartomizers or MadVapes 510 Dual Coil Stainless Cartomizer ?

I make my own tanks. For under $5, they're pretty easy to make. Somebody else found one for about $8 if you really really don't want to make your own. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/new-members-forum/235727-tanks-what-buy-budget.html

One tank, one pre-punched carto, and one drip-tip = 11.99
Dual Coil 510 Tank Cartomizer
Out of stock, though

Yeah, I used to use a dremmel to cut the holes in my cartos. Then tried the sharp screw and hammer method to punch instead of cut. Not really sure which I prefer, though. I'll probably end up buying a saddle valve if I get around to getting a decent tank.
(come on MV, get stocked up!)

If I'm not using my VMod (bottom feeder), then I always have a punched Smoketech DC in a tank on my fistpak. Wouldn't vape without it..!
