Yo, Tat, blessed be the persistent, for they shall have sore thumbs! It worked! I did apply a little heat. One old Boge LR carto pulled! And it DOES have the flutings! But I can't test feeding properly using this poor 'ole carto, 'cause I ripped out his coil wire when taking off the white cap with a paperclip. Hey, this cap is hard to take off .. c'mon ... c'mon .. rrrip .. what the ??? ... ooops.

Somebody here's gotta have the mechanical chops to figure out how to do this easier on the carto. It's relatively easy on a Joye atomizer. You could make a little $1.50 tool out of a 510 socket, a couple pieces of pipe for leverage. No drilling required!

Ah, and don't forget to clear any residue out of the flutings with a pin so it's clean and feeds better. Oooh, excuse the excitement, those of you who are happy with the Vapage cartos/attys, but we gettin' close to everybody having their Vmod and eating it too!

p.s. See that white wrap as shipped on the carto? Magic Tape is nowhere near as good. I hear there's an O-ring that might fit and seal a bare metal atty perfectly, that would be good. Vapage is smart to go bare metal, foregoing tape and any trace of adhesives, since the juice is all AROUND the bottom of the atty, unlike the typical scenario, but leaks/seeps are not acceptable either.

I'll just add that that humble Joye atty is still vaping great. If the feed is a little tight, you can always raise the barrel just a hair, or drop it if too much . One detail. The fact the barrel is no longer as tight on the connector means that when you tighten the atty down, you need to stop before you start really spinning the barrel on its own, especially later as it wears. I've run about 10 ml of juice through it, I think I'll give it an alcohol soak tonight.

Fernand.... In Hanas original directions for the hh 357 mod he soaked the 510 attys in pga (any 150 proof liquor would work) for up to 2 hrs before pulling off the barrel.... As far a quick tool mod how about a 510-510 extension and using a vise or vise grips to secure extension....

Dremel 7300 less than 20 dollars at walmart,#407 (sand) on high speed until its soft,then use whatever you wish to poke holes,no clamp needed,and it don't take much to poke the hole its soft.This is for a carto,maybe oneday I will try a atty on the Vmod.

Thank you very much for sharing this information :)

Gel, when you say "sand until soft", you mean where exactly, can you show like on the pictures below?

We can see why the Carto is SO hard to pull the barrel on, and the Atty so much easier. The sheer length of the fluted section on the carto makes rocking very tough (and will also make feeding less efficient). You can also see how drilling on the carto is pretty foolproof and gets juice into the right compartment, where the filler is wrapped around the airtube.

New problem. Now the Magic Tape is seeping. Not enough wraps? And without tape (or a different gasket) ALL of the attys, Vapage or Joye, are seeping. When it's seeping out the top, it goes down into the body, and it looks like it's seeping from somewhere else. This is leak #1. I'm getting tired of fighting. I just want it to work effortlessly.

I WAS kinda hoping someone from Vapage would hop in and say something like "You fool! We have a deal brokered with several leading carto makers to supply factory modd'ed burners to use on your Vmod. Coming next week." or "THIS is how you mod 'em" ... but ... sigh ...

Put the threaded end into a condom. Put about 10 or 12 drops of your juice into the top and let it sit for about 30 mins and try it again. You have to let the juice soak into new/ washed attys for a few mins. What juice are you using?? Some juice just doesn't taste good at 1.5 ohms.

anyone care to assist me on my brand new 1.5ohms atty , its producing weird taste !

Fernand, At some point you have to realize, this ain't working for me and move on. Sell it, trade it or throw it against the wall. It doesn't work for you as designed. It doesn't work for you modded. It doesn't work for you at all. You are stressing over it. Get rid of it!
Now what kind of fun would that be:?:........:lol::lol::lol:

O RING...#5-1/4x3/8x1/16 around the carto, and an an unknown size around cone threads, so it doesn't push inner o ring so far down and doesn't force the cone thread.....Working flawlessly for me:2cool: Not a single sign of liquid ANYWHERE, and it creates a seal for the feed to work better than before:blink:

From what I have been reading here some of a batch of attys are wrapped tight around the wick. The coil don't stay wet enough and you get what taste like a dry hit. If you straighten out a paperclip and put a 90 degree bend about 1/8" at the end. Use this to GENTLY put down the coils to make them stay in contact with the wick. Take the atty out of your Vmod so, there is no chance of shorting out your atty. Do it a little at a time and try it. Better to make several adjustments then one that can't be reversed and ruin an atty. It has worked on one of mine that I think was out of the bad lot of attys.....

im using Dekang RY4 , i had it soaked for the whole day yst.

leaking maybe due to incorrect positioning, perhaps u left it in your pocket horizontally?

Thanks, but it's not the case, and shouldn't matter anyway. The right sized o-ring/gasket should work under all the changing conditions of position, pressure, juice thickness, hydraulic resistance, temperature, etc. BTW I'm finding that with the tall factory gasket it might be better not to force it all the way down, putting a little spacer or o-ring under the cone to prevent shell rattling might be preferable.

@AG, 3860 posts of review? There are a lot of issues discussed and tips here. Do you think they should be posted elsewhere? Where?

@gobble, but can we agree that if glowing cannot be eliminated, people should be discouraged from using that particular atomizer?
