Silly question - do the tanks ship with a punched or slotted carto with them? I don't actually have any cartos right now for a tank and will need to order some as back-ups anyway - just curious if the tanks come with one initially.

they are separate Items , I have the Cartos on order but do not have them yet ( waiting on Boge ! )
We will have pre-punched and regular ones WHEN I get them lol .

I actually didn't notice any difference in the action of a slotted carto vs a punched one. punching is quite a bit quicker and pain free(assuming you don't smash your thumb)

I am interested in you guys opinion on why the dremmel is better

Same here.

with a dremel, you don't run the risk of deforming your carto.

Haven't had that problem with my jig & punch set.

Clank, what are you using for a jig? My punched one would have been fine if my awl had been sharper. I just used a pair of vice grips to hold the Fusion steady. When I slot with the dremel I just hold the carto on the work bench with my fingers.

J, as far as vaping quality there is no difference. Some of us just have too much inner rage to control how much we smash things with a hammer LMAO!

I bought a jig & punch set from Vapor Age.

I've been using the jig set too. Without it punching cartos is cumbersome and awkward at best.

The jig keeps the carto steady, holds your punch straight and controls punch depth. The process to punch a few holes takes just a minute or so.

Can you make a homemade jig? I found a punch lying on my kitchen counter just like it was meant for me.. Imagine that. I'm sure the ol' man won't miss it, right!? That's pretty convenient but I need the jig part. I slotted a few with a dremel and quite frankly I scared myself a bit. You can put an eye out with one of those things.. or lose a small body part.

Just drill a hole in a piece of wood the same size as the carto and one coming down the same size as your punch and you got a jig.

Personally I like the Dremmel the best. I have more control with it.

Okay - few more questions that I probably should have asked before (I'm new to tanks if you haven't guessed) -

Between the 1" and 1.5" tanks - will both fit a "regular" sized cartomizer? Or do the 1.5" tanks require an XL / Mega carto of some sort?

Also - what are the capacity of the tanks in terms of mls?

I got my Buzz Pro rather recently coming from the GoGO (which is still nice as a pinch hitter) and looking for the ideal juice delivery solution. Was hoping some of the CE2 type stuff would work for me - but can't say I've been impressed. I did also get somewhat spoiled by the larger capacity of the GoGo cartomizers but looking for something that will hopefully last a little longer and not to mention rock out with the BP :D

Ditto. I've done it so many times now I can do one in like 5 seconds. First one I totally ruined the carto by slicing too far. Like anything new, it takes some practice to perfect, but once you have the method down it's easy.
