Refilling 510s

[Nem2k]

so I have some pre-filled 510 cartomizers and I tried to take the cap off to get a drip tip in there/to add some juice to it but it turns out its glued in :s

is there any way to actually use a drip tip with these? are all 510s like this or can you get some with the removeable soft cap?

Yes, you can get cartos for the 510 with the soft tip, removable tip. Meanwhile, use the condom method to refill.

I hate those hard caps and saved some soft ones from others to replace them with OR I just put a drip tip on them. You can pry it off, but I had to use a precision screwdriver, a paperclip wasn't strong enough.

I use a drip tip on cartos too. I just like it better than the stupid little hole in the top. It makes them look so "unfinished" plus it keeps you from burning your lip if you chain vape at high voltage

i cant seem to use a drip tip with these hard cap ones even if i do get the cap off because theres a ring of plastic glued to the inside of the cart making the end narrower. is there a way around this?

and how can you tell, when youre purchasing cartos, which ones have soft caps? are there any places in canada that sell the soft cap 510 cartos?

You should be able to get soft caps on 510s fairly easily nowadays. In the description it should say soft-tip cartos, otherwise go elsewhere. I didn't know they still sold those hard tips anymore.

As far as the hard tips, if your really careful I have had some luck in removing them by putting the tip end in boiled water (or at least very hot water) for about 30-45 seconds and then try and pry them off. Just the tip end about the same depth as a standard tip - say 1/4 inch. It tends to soften the glue and make it a bit easier to remove. Also I use a box cutter type knife and scrape around the inside of the carto and the hard glue comes off. Watch out as it sort of snaps off the inside and can fly out at you. Wear safety glasses if you have them.

That ring of plastic comes right out too, that one shouldn't be glued in there, comes out pretty easy. Then you can put your drip tip right in there. Should be listed on their website if they are soft cap or not, hope this helps!

Take the carto put it in boiling water or just the end for up to 1 min. cap comes out easy then.Now reuse cap easy in out,once you get soft caps use those in all cartos.
