Received an 801 adapter and loaded up my first fusion, so far I am LOVING it! The draw is perfect, not too tight, not too airy - although it does look a bit wonky on my eGo Twist.

I am curious as to why Isaac mentions that these wouldn't work with the stealth adapters? That's what I'm using right now and it's working perfectly fine (?)

Might be an issue with any adapters. I have noticed that if there isn't a firm connection, either between the carto and the adapter or the adapter and the device, the device can report a short. My ProVari has reported an E1 error several times with them, and my VMax has errored out once or twice. Removing and reattaching usually solves it. But it might be a connectivity thing, not necessarily with stealth adapters specifically.

That said though none of that really matters to me because I'm loving these things. I'm still using the first one I filled. Aside from two days where I couldn't vape anything but menthol, these have now been lasting me 9 days, same carto. The draw is a bit tighter now, and while I can't fully taste yet, I can still tell it's producing decent flavour. Really, really loving them, much more than SmokTech or Boge cartos even at their best.

Max 5 cartos per order. OH well, I ordered 5 more anyway. And some silver NR wire and a couple more adapters for good measure, as well as some of that cotton wick just to see how it fares in my Steam Machine.
Sorry good buddy, sometimes we need to take drastic measures in order to keep northern vapers in supply. I thought my post was self explanatory. Once a steady supply of components has been achieved, the restriction will be lifted.

Because some stealth adapters do no make contact as the pos post isn't long enough. A bead of solder remedies the situation though :)

Oh, I do understand -- without the limit the US guys would take all the cartos away. :) I'm just impatient for that steady state to arrive. I love these cartos. I don't ever want to run out. :D

Jesus Eric ya got a 6m plus supply as is LOL.

... and that is why I did what needed to be done to ensure you don't run out my good sir. The greedy buggers down South order them in lots of 25+, that is the problem. One duded ordered 100, heck that is a 2 year supply at one a week ;(

lol, well, I woldn't say I have a 6m supply. 3-4 months tops. :D But I also tend to have more than one on the go, so there's that. Also have a friend I've been turning on to vaping and it's been a bit hard to bring him over completely without good cartos for him to use so I give him a few to try out as well so he can order some later if he likes 'em. Gotta get him to give up the stinkies completely, and I think these cartos might do it.

Yes you can. Just remember to order the proper adapter 510-801. The first number is always the native connection whilst the 2nd number is what you are going to.

Ya I know, it has been a long week ;) hope there are a few left later this week. I actually won the Smoove kit on Cory's show the other night....would you just be able to throw them in with that box if I get the money to you ASAP? If not that is cool.

Nope! Your prize shipped yesterday, we don't snooze here :)

So I decided to go ahead and punch a Fusion to stick in a tank. I just used a little framing nail and a hammer, not having saddle valve or proper carto punch, and it worked well -- very little carto deformation, single hole at about 1.5mm or so. Working very well so far, no flooding and it's sucking in juice like it should. Looks slightly wonky raised above the device as it is with the collar and adapter attached, but it works, and that's the main thing. Sweet.

A number #55 drill bit is perfect for punching holes :)

Kind of need a clamp, or better yet a drill press though. I tried drilling a carto with a cordless once but couldn't steady the bit enough to keep it from walking. I'll stick with the hammer 'til I get a proper punch. :)

The only way i could get a drill bit to work was to first make an indent with the nail so the drill would not slip around.
