How To Drive Carts From Mod Boxes
Carts can be screwed directly onto mods, but is best avoided because of the following reasons ..
Maintaining Airflow - A standard '510' vape cartridge will screw directly onto most mods, but the problem is once they're screwed in, the airflow is often completely blocked off. Sure you can loosen off the cart a little to allow airflow but this doesn't solve the leak problems.
Leaks - On regular carts, the common leak points are the air holes, which are usually very close to the 510 thread. If carts are screwed directly onto mods, any leaks will go straight down into the mod's 510 connector which is definitely best avoided.
Using An Adapter To Solve The Above issues ..
Unscrewing the cart a tiny fraction will restore airflow, but doesn't address the leak issue. A more complete way is to use some sort of adaptor. Both examples shown below allow airflow through the cart virtually unrestricted and prevent juice leaking into the mod's 510 connector.
