many ways do do it now. I use the dremmel, but not all the way through the metal of the carto. Just dremmel down until the metal looks thin, or it doesnt really have to be that thin. Wipe off any shavings, then punch with a hammer/nail. This way, the area that you shaved off will hold the nail in place better and no shavings go inside the filler because you didn't dremmel all the way through. I also use an incense holder to steady the carto. Be very careful when you punch your hole, not to go too far into the filler or else you will end up with gurgling and/or a slow leak. The nail you use is important too, I don't know the proper terminology, but basically it should go from a point and then as close to 45 degree angle you can find to the nail post/rod(?). Like this (good nail to use on the left/ the nail on the right will punch too small of a hole or go too far into the carto):

I know my nail is rusty and gross, but hopefully you can see the wide angle.
Hold a carto up to the bottom cap of your tank, equivalent to where it would go in the tank and mark with a sharpie 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch above the top of the end cap. Dremmel and/ or punch there. For thin juice just tap the nail through lightly, for thicker juice tap the hole larger 2 or 3 times (hold just above the tip of the nail with your thumb and index finger). The consensus of a good size punch seems to be about 3/32 of an inch. I learned by trial and error and basically eyeball it. Most juice is good with two punches this size on opposite sides. Again, try not to go too deep. Once I've made my initial punch, I will even turn the carto slightly and make the punch larger at an angle to avoid puncturing the center.

mark slightly above the bottom cap of your tank...

dremmel notches where you marked to prevent the nail from slipping around and make punching easier(optional)...

hold above the tip of the nail, use something to keep the carto from rolling, tap into the spot you notched...

after lightly tapping a few more times you will have a punch like this on both sides, good for thick juice. Use a smaller punch for thinner juices. Sorry about the cheesy pics and good luck. There is a jig and punch set available somewhere( ask around) and also a new thread where someone had some luck with wire cutters( I'll look for that link)

ETA on this: those punches pictured will really only be good for very thick juice. Most juices you will want to keep it a bit smaller. With regards to the wire cutters, there is a new find people are raving about: 1/4" brass self-tapping saddle valve at loewe's. I just picked one up that says 3/8", part number LFA-141. I havent tried it yet, but people are saying it works perfectly. I know its off topic, but just wanted to share.

yup you sure can, sappho420.

Apparently I can't, cleolove, lol.. :p I blew my first atty last night trying to drip on my 5v.. :facepalm: I'm pretty sure that it was my fault though.

I took two drags and it worked great. I dripped a couple drops and it flooded the atty a bit, so I blew out the excess juice. I must have blown out too much juice and put the atty back on too dry, because after that the atty just didn't get hot anymore..

I've been using this same atty since I started vaping almost six weeks ago. Not sure if this is normal atty life but I knew that eventually it was gonna die on me. But now I'm scared to use my other atty.. it's the last one I have until the cartos I ordered come in.. Shouldn't I just get over it though and drip? idk.. :confused:

I might just play it safe and drip test/taste my juices on my 510 until I can get my paws on more attys.. Now I know what people mean when they say to have plenty of backups! lol. You guys know of any good deals out there?

btw.. I had my username changed from sappho420.. Mexican + Pilipina = MexiPina :2cool:

Unfortunately this is the only thread. But anyone that has one may be around to chime in. I just got more kits in today, and should have some ready to ship by Wednesday. Let me know if you have any questions. They run $38 for the mod, or $56 for the complete kit.

Thanks for your interest.

Let us know what you find out, and I dont blame you for being nervous for using your last atty. Play it safe and wait for your cartos to come.

I've got 2 of Steve's VV Foxyboxmods and couldn't be more pleased. They're tough as nails, constructed well, and work like a charm. Steve even called one of mine a "blem" and sold it for a discount, but the blem is so insignficant I feel a little guilty for stealing it from Steve!
You can probably use the little "search thread" link at the top of this thread and try searching for variable voltage or even just VV -- you'll see notes and reviews from more happy FBM fans :)

Can someone point me to a threat about the variable voltage foxy mod? I'd like to get some user feedback.

I just want to do a quick post on how happy I am with my foxybodmod. I was not sure that I ever wanted a box type mod, but I really wanted to get into 5volt vaping, and Steve's box is just great. Just about a perfect vape for me and the price is just great! I received this on saturday and had already ordered another before the end of the day.
I also have to mention his customer service. I am a customer service manager for a national homebuilder, so I have a pretty good idea what good service is all about. Steve has gone above and beyond for me and I could not be happier. Also I have to mention that I am not sure that steve needs sleep because i completed both of my orders after 10 pm.
Great product at a great price, with great customer service. Nothing more to say.

Thanks for the feedback. I got an email from Steve last night about the foxy box as well and I think I'm sold on the 5v instead of the VV for now. It sounds like it'll accomplish what I'm looking for. I wish I had the knowledge to build my own but it's not really my thing. :) I emailed Steve my order though and just waiting for an invoice. Maybe I'll get a Steve discount since my name is also Steve. lol Will keep you posted once I receive my box.

I hope it does work for you like it has for me. Let steve know if you have not received an invoice, he is really quick in getting his stuff done and they can get lost in spam folders sometimes.

Good luck!

Oh Steve has been on top of things! I got an email confirming he had what I wanted and within a few minutes the invoice arrived. He's also very personable which is a nice experience when doing business with someone. Pretty impressive so far!
