And you only really need to do this mod once and keep swapping the cap each time you change the cartridge.

NOT TOO HOT! The glue will soften and you will be able to easily remove the cap without mangling it with the pliers. Any residual glue can be cleaned out by screwing the cap on and off using a COOL capsule.

Thanks, Vinod47, for the suggestion of using a rubber mallet to get the caps to fit snugly on the Preservino capsules.

The Coravin rubber cap comes off easily with two channel-lock pliers, however, it doesn’t easily slide onto the Preservino cartridge. To achieve the snug fit required, I placed the cartridge on a solid surface, rubber cap upward facing, and firmly tapped the Coravin rubber cap with a rubber mallet, and it fits nice and snug. I wish I would have come across this a while ago...thanks!!Vinod47https://www.blogger.com/profile/14506016696638864409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1155957787095041989.post-40036459672188219722018-03-09T08:08:56.347-08:002018-03-09T08:08:56.347-08:00Here is a Video about the Hack

I have purchased the ZZYSH argon wine cartridges on Amazon. About $5 each including $5 shipping. They don't get great reviews but I've made them work. Since they're shorter then the Corvin cartridges I placed some dimes in the cartridge holder to equalize the length of the two cartridges. Here's the link <br /><br />https://www.amazon.com/product-reviews/B01M61TOSI/ref=acr_search_see_all?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1<br /><br />The Corvine black plastic tips are difficult to remove. I put them in the oven for 15-20 minutes at 180 degrees. Much easier to remove <br /><br />Anyone find any other alternatives?MorningWinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16829709037964193960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1155957787095041989.post-9273235950944946892018-02-09T13:43:48.413-08:002018-02-09T13:43:48.413-08:00Has anyone tried ReServ, Pek, or Preservino?
