To use ego cone/adapter or not???

[helxi]

I am a little confused reading through all the post regarding the use of airflow restrictors/adaptors/ego cones. I see some posts saying that I should use an ego cone to prevent over tightening but then some posts say not to use anything because it will do something bad(I think push the posts down?).

Maybe I am getting the word adapter and the ego cone confused - I assume it's the same type of thing.

So what is the most popular consensus? To use the ego cone to protect the threads or not? I am currently using the mini vivi nova and plan on getting a protank.

Thanks!

I use the cone adapter so i dont pull the carto from the tank.

Maybe im not listening right. Like the spacer adapters? Or is it something different?

I use one on the principle of - what can it hurt?
