in that case i would suggest updating your vaping apparatus. they quite literally dont make stuff like they used to. On possible option is putting a want to buy ad up in the marketplace. There might be someone who has moved on with one in the bottom of his vape box willing to sell

V4l probably just renamed a Smoketech carto punch. That's what most people used. Plenty of them still around.

Sad to say, but at some point you're going to have to move on from the cartomizers, cartotanks, and punch tools. Manufacturers won't continue to make "ancient" out-dated products if they can no longer make enough profit to continue making them. You're seeing evidence of this yourself by your inquiry.

I'm not being rude, but you need to "up your game". I was a huge cartotank fan a few years ago, but I saw the writing on the wall and moved on. Believe it or not, modern clearomizers work just as well if not better than a cartotank did back in the day.

Those cartons are the ones,the punches are the ones I tried replacing the v4 with have them,but ill buy the cartos from you,let me know,really appreciate it.

I know but it's like leading a horse to water,if I can't find this tool ill have no choice,I'm look in at 6 provaris and 6 of the new ones I bought for 8 bucks a piece,I guess that should've told me sumthin.

Let me suggest you get an Aspire Nautilus clearomizer. They've been around for 3 - 4 years now, and are still a very popular tank for mouth-to-lung, low voltage/wattage vapers like yourself. The Provari/Nautilus combo is still a popular combo to this day.

If you're not a fan of the Nautilus's form factor, another popular tank for a Provari is the Kabuki. The authentic Kabuki is a $100 tank, but you can get excellent quality clones from Fast Tech for just $13. The Kabuki and its clone use the same replacement coils that the Aspire Nautilus uses.

I Found it,I found it thanks to all the ECF friends,my wife in her infinite Wisdom put it in The Tool Box.Who would have thought.

I used to use a junior hacksaw and cut slots in my cartos - worked so much better than any punch.

I tried using a dremmel power tool to make slots. Unfortunately, that can cause sharp edges around the slots that can ruin o-rings in the cartotank and cause it to leak.

That's where the teeny tiny carborundum stone came in useful... Sort of miss those days when prepping a carto-tank seemed like a big deal. Somehow it made vaping more meaningful due to the effort involved.

It sure was,I remember when they first started cutting cart is,then the tanks rolled in.Still have a dozen torpedo tanks from Jonah from New Mexico,Found the V4 carto puncher today I'm in Heaven.

 

[BrotherBob]

Have a dozen or more carto sites listed in my old files and went through 7 or so, and none offered any punches. I remember when almost all sites carried punches. Might want to hang on to that fossil.

Thanks for doing some legwork for me,actually found it today in an old toolbox,almost forgot how to use it.I've got another vapebuddy sending me a bunch of boge cart is I can cut for my torpedo tanks,I guess I'm gonna have to give up my collection of provaris tanks and cartos,I know it's a lost art but it's fun,I'm finding making juices is also shaky picked up the best black label 70/30 and its so thick it's near impossible to wick good except in the nautilus tanks any suggestions for juice would be appreciated thanks for helping out.
