The draw on my Silver Bullet recently got very tight. I have treid a few different carto's and get the same tight draw. Can anybody give me any advice on how to fix this? Thanks so much!

I don't have a SB, but here are a few things to check:
1. Are you sure it's the SB and not the cartos. If you noticed this with a new batch of cartos, it's probably the cartos. If this happened with cartos that had been working fine, and the draw suddenly changed, it's probably the SB.
If it's the SB,
2. Inspect the SB connector for any obvious damage or obstruction of the indents that allow air flow. Give it a good cleaning with isopropyl alcohol. This probably isn't the problem, but it only takes a minute to check.
3. The battery post may have been pushed in, and as a result, you are screwing the carto in further than you did before. This can reduce airflow. Try backing off the carto a quarter turn or better yet, use a 510 to 510 adapter (assuming it's a 510) if you have one. I'm not familiar with the SB's construction, so I can't suggest a fix. If this seems to be the problem hopefully someone can offer a suggestion here, or contact AltSmoke. They have a very good reputation.

Thanks for your help! It's not the cartos because the draw is fine on them. I think it has somthing to do with pin? Like it was pushed up too far. I have no idea how to take apart the top of the SB and don't want to ruin it but think that somehow pushing the pin down is what people seem to reccomend when it comes to mods with tight draws? I did send altsmoke an e-mail and I'm sure they'll get back to me in no time, until then... lol. Thanks!
Did backing the carto off a quarter of a turn help?
If you have an adapter you can always use that while you figure out a long term fix. I think the problem usually comes from the pin being pushed in too far. On some pvs you can gently pry the pin back up, but like I said, I'm not sure of how the SB's connection is designed. You could always check the AltSmoke sub-forum for similar situations or post there for a quicker response. Good Luck.

found my omega having a slightly tighter draw when compared to my provari.. nothing too bad though. i just purchased a 510 shorty (V2 510 Shorty Extension Sealed) to see if it does anything for the draw. let ya know if it helps.
No backing up the carto doesn't work at all, which is weird and makes me think that there is not enough space at the bottom. No I dont have an adapter, but think I'll get one to see if it it helps. The only thing I have been using is the voltmeter adapter, and have been loading my carto's on top of it and vaping, it looks weird though! I might get that extention Nocturn, do let me know if it's a good one!
