Removing Cartridge End-Caps without Damaging?

[Salt&PePPer]

Howdy everybody, ultra vez, I have another question for you!

I just recently bought an NLA Basic Starter Kit, it came with two Cartos.

Since I was unable to find NLA refills or Cartos in town I had to refill, which anyone should anyhow, the Cartos that came with the KIT. In the manual for the Puffer it says to use refill ejuice from them. But Alas, they make it very, very difficult to remove the Carto's End-Cap without damaging it beyond being re-usable! As with my experience so far I busted 'BOTH' of the End-Caps that came with the kit. So I had to resort to using the End-Caps off of used Square 82 Disposable Cigarettes. (On a side note which I found out with the Squares, you can take the Caps off and drip juice into the Disposables when it is starting run out but you still have battery life left)

My question to Y`all is do you have a good method beyond using a Dinner Fork for removing the End-Caps off of the Carto's you use?

Hi salt & pepper
Welcome to ECF
I have had those little ecigs with the caps that were really hard to get off too. Bummer.
Today I use Boge cartos. They have a soft cap that comes off easily with a paperclip or fingernail. Then I use a drip tip after I fill them. The driptip is very easy on off.
Keep coming back. We'll look for ya

I had the same problem before I started using tanks. I made a tool out of a paper clip.

I have been using a bulletin board push pin, a lot stronger than a paper clip, for the ones that are glued in.

Some people will use a syringe.
