I bought a few 510s from a vendor in Baltimore a few days ago, and the connectors on them are sort of weird. They will not work at all wwhen I screw them directly into my Acrylimax, but when I put them on a 510 etender post, they work just fine. It looks like the center post on these cartos is a little short, and I think it's not making connection with the center post on the mod. The 510 extender tubes I have seem to have a center post that is a little taller and has a smaller diameter than the one on the mod, so I guess the cartos are able to be screwed in further down, and making connection.

Since I can make them work with these adapters, it's not a total loss, but I was wondering if anyone else had run into this. These cartos came in a white bod with a green swirly image on it, and the words "Disposable Cartomizers" in blue letters, and not other branding or markins (escept a UPC code on the side) They are black with gold connectors, and meter at around 2.9ohms...

Hi StereoDreamer, I am a carto-kinduva-guy, but have never used those. Sometimes you can use a straightened paper clip to pull the center conductor down a bit.

I like Boge cartos, but there are good and bad runs of all of them. I have had a few individual cartos, the threads were so light that they wouldn't tighten down without stripping.
