Hey everyone! As always my mind is constantly running & thinking about what else i can learn in our wonderful world of vaping. So now I'm thinking about punching my own cartos. If you punch your own whats the best punch tool you've found? Is it really that difficult or should I just stick to buying prepunched? Bursado makes it look so easy & of course he recently reviewed some punch tools & now they're all sold out. So should I give it a try or keep buying prepunched?

    It's not hard at all. I bought my first punch on valley view vapes. It's a good basic one, and it came with spare screws. Expect to waste a couple cartos getting to know how deep your punches go/how many holes for what liquid.

    Same one I got. The thick screw won't go in too far to damage. $6?

    It's just too easy not to. It's good to have a choice of how many, how big, and placement. I like my holes at the very bottom to get every drop.

    It's good for using diff juices also, VG=more holes, etc. Some people put an xtra one up high for diff uses.

    It's Easy-Peasy :)

    I had to get a $45 punch for more control. The screws need to be replaceable so you can have them be sharp. Go slow and as soon as you here the pop stop and it might not be too warped to fit through the tanks. The savings and the option are worth it even if you just need to add a hole to a Pre drilled carto. I don't know what the quality control is if any different at all on Pre drilled and not drilled or buying in 5 packs or cartons. I'm pretty positive it's all the same stuff if your sure your not investing in knock offs which I wonder about sometimes too. I think it's better to pay a little more and use a repealed reliable and recommended vendor for a lot of things
