Make a loose cart have a snug fit.

[Þornbjörg]

I've had my new (to me anyway) 510 at home all of 2 hours.

Testing the carts I obtained, one atty left the various carts very loose.

My solution?

I wrapped plumber's tape around the carts once, towards the top (furthest from the atty) to it'd fit better.

They fit nice and snug, and I didn't taste a difference, so I'm not burning the latex.

That's a good idea. I was thinking about what I could use to wrap around the cart to make it fit tighter. Never thought about that teflon latex tape. I've got several rolls of it, have to give it a try. Thanks.

Great quick and easy tip. Thanks.

I wonder how electrical shrink tube would work? . I'm going to buy some and try it.

 

[wrecktangle]

I would think shrink tube would be a tad too thick, but let us know how it works out for you.

I forget who came up with it but you can heat up a paper clip with a lighter then very slightly melt the inside of the cart on 4 sides and it will be much tighter. There's a video on here somewhere of that method.

This method works great, but use a sewing needle instead of a paper clip.
Here's a link for a better explanation.

But my mouth piece fits inside the atomizer, not over the top of it.

Just put the pin marks on the outside of the mouthpiece, where it slides into the atty.

lol i burned the crap out of my carts trying the pin method yesterday. I found a hot paper clip works great for slicing through the cart to shorten them though.

thought i could mod a cart for extra juice storage, but all i did was make a big mess and never did get my carts to fit tighter lol.

i'll try it again though. my 510 carts are way too loose for my 901, and some new 901 carts are too small for the 901. I've been tailpiping my ecigs because of cart problems.

i have plenty of carts to keep experimenting though

OK, tried it. Looks to be good...Thanks!

These are good ideas! You can also lightly score the cart all the way around a few times on the part where it fits up into the atomizer with a hobby knife like an exacto. Don't do it too heavy or deep, you don't want to cut through the cart plastic all the way, just score it. This pushes the plastic up on either side of the scoring so that you get a better fit. It's nothing dramatic but it works, I read it somewhere else on here a few months ago and tried it and it does work and is easy to do. No heating necessary, just be careful of the cart and yourself.
