That then is what I will do. Thank you.

Hey just went back and doubled checked. The measurment I gave you is for a 510 atomizer, not a catomizer. The Attys are 9.15mm but the cartos (CE2 XL clearos) are 9.45mm OD So a 3/8"ID oring would be better. Since I do no think they make 9.5mm o-rings... dunno will have to look. I would measure the cartos you have and then go with the oring closes to it. Anyone able to mic the outside of a steel carto and post the dimension here?

Here are 9.5mm viton orings:

I want to get a couple of these modified caps, but I would be modding mine to use a regular atomizer inside anyway(can't stand cartos), so the different sized O-ring helps me LOL.

LOL Wish I'd have known. I threw out a 20" Flat Panel monitor last week because it had a single 1 pixel wide blue line down the middle.

Sentiment greatly appreciated but I couldn't ask nor can I afford to pay shipping...I may make the wife angry and commandeer her kitchen TV since it has an hdmi input...there go any nice goodies she may have been planning to cook me...knew I shouldn't have given away my last spare flat screen last month...but hey my friend needed a screen for her kids comp since her old CRT blew out...need to hit the dump again and look for a few screens and such...don't understand people tossing perfectly good machines...

Well .361 would be 9.17mm and .363 would be 9.22mm
So the 9mm orings should be ok.

good job dan i got out my other caliper but its only got the little vernier scale i spaced for a min how to read it lol
got 9.18 and 9.22 - i like my dial one better its more accurate i think

My crapy plastic HF caliper says ~9.15. I think I will look around for different thickness O-rings and see if I can come up with a combination that would only require a change of O-ring type for different carto / ce2.

I also put two of my SGV3 caps up against a carto an came out with a couple of possible problems.

My caps are 11mm high. That would put the hole in the carto kinda high from what I have read on how to get them to work well.
Also if you wan't to use a standard carto your tank would be ridiculously short.

So, what I did was go to 1 o-ring and cupped the end to allow for a lower hole in the carto and hold more juice. I also shortened it some to lower the profile.

The only issue now is I'm not sure if it would hold a carto tube stable enough for a modified SGV3.



I don't know about a co-op, unless somebody else wan't s to deal with the organization i can co-ordinate the machine shop end and just ship all of it to them. =]

@bstedh
I'd be okay with doing the organization part. I have nothing but free time anyways.

EDIT: Also, That MAY work fine, as long as the top cap does not have that cup. That way the top will hold more surface area of the tube and keep it straight.

I realy must say this is very interesting reading...
Realy great work...

[harmonic]

if its tight enough on the carto tube then the cup should stay. i think they should be tight enough that it should be almost too hard to get together. i dont think it should be able to slide around too much like some of the other designs out there imo...
