Stupid questions, sorry im advance

[sdotsd]

I'm new to ikenvape cartos, so I had a couple quick(and potentially stupid) questions.

First, I had seen the 510 mega fusions went on sale, so I picked up a few. They are the non-punch version. I am just wondering if these can be punched using a standard carto punch? The pre-punched sell out so quickly, I was worried nobody bought the non punch because these particular cartos can only be laser punched.

Second, I purchased a 6ml fusion tank, am I correct in assuming these tanks work for the 808 and 510 cartos?

Thanks for any help, again sorry if it has been covered. Looking forward to trying these out, I've only heard positive reviews about Iken and his products.

Yes, you can punch them with a carto punch. The problem comes if you try to use a hammer and a punch, if you aren't careful you can hit the atty inside and ruin them.
Yes, again, the tank works with the mega sized carto's, 510, 808 and 801.

get yourself a saddle valve from home depot and watch grimmgreen's video on how to use it to punch carts. or invest a couple of bucks in a cheap carto punch-they make one now that fits on your key chain.

as for the 510 fusions, or any cartos from ikenvape, you'll find yourself longing for him to restock so you can build an arsenal. lol that's what i did when i heard he got a new order. i'd order a big order one day, then a few days later, follow up with a small order of 801's and punched anything. they go fast, don't they. i think they're a great company, and i've yet to be let down by them.

You better get on the notify me list because they run out fast. Extremely fast. Doesn't take many because a box of 5 last me about 3 to 5 mo. Get yourself a regulation carto punch because as Saw commented if you go too deep it will ruin them. I use a hammer and punch but I still mess up now and then after doing it for over a yr.

Here's the punch setup I've been using for a full year: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/pay-forward-pif/272989-diy-carto-punch.html

Works great on Isaac's cartos

(It's public domain, vendors can carry it if they wish, to cut out the hassle of chasing down the parts.)

Thanks for the replies, I think I should be set. I have one of those cheap keychain punches that seems to work OK, but that DIY punch looks sweet. Might be time to upgrade.

Do these fusions really last 2+ weeks?? I get 4 days MAX outta my Boge 3.0s, so I can't wait to get these things in!

I got 2 weeks out of a couple of the 801's, I've been getting 5-9 days out of the 510 fusion's using a Grape liquid that is medium clear.

801 fusion I run 18 - 20 ml through, at 8 - 10 watts. I'm pretty picky, change as soon as there is even the slightest change, and this is with my own particular all day vape. Others may well get a lot more use, this is just my benchmark. My biggie is consistency -- same vape every time, and Isaac's fusions are 100% consistent for me; great QC

There really isn't any set time. I've gone through 5 Fusions in 5 days and I've gotten 5 weeks out of them. It just depends on juice, vaping style, voltage, etc, etc. I usually get between 1 to 2 weeks on one. Anything over a few days on any carto is icing on the cake.

That punch Mark posted is a good one. I know a lot of people use it and I've never heard of any problems from them. I personally like the pre-punched ones.

There is Never ever a stupid question.
You just received the best advice in the world from these guys. From Marks punching tools (which I just ordered a minute ago, thanks Mark!), alternate tools, to carto life spans, to not what to do to punch a carto, to when to dispose of one , how certain liquids can cause a premature run time and to act fast with email instock notifications


You guys are amazing!!!!.

Agreed 100%. This community is such a contrast to other online communities I'm involved with. Thanks again, all.
