Anyone have a cart DOA?
Not quite DOA but the second tank I got, the carto just never would wick right. I bought some pre-punched cartos from CoV until MadVapes can get some and the tank is so much smoother and flavorful now, so something must have been up with that 2nd carto.
So the other companies' Pre-Punched Cartos are fitting in MadVapes DCT?
I've been following this thread, and I thought I'd chime in with a couple of questions.
I am sort of a "tank queen". I have 7 liquinators and about 2 dozen homemade syringe cartotanks. I have been using tanks for months, and I am pretty familiar with their operation. I have some questions.
******I have experience cutting tubing for my liquinators and syringe tanks. Is there any reason I would not be able to cut down the length of the tank so I can use regular single coil cartos? I just prefer my 3.0 single coil cartos on my VV mods.
******Can these tanks be filled like liquinators by pushing the batt end in and slanting to one side to refill? I am speaking of non-flanged cartos.
******can you do a "hot change" with the carto by sliding a fresh one through while pushing the old one out? I am speaking of non-flanged cartos.
******Does anyone know what the tube material is? Is it polycarbonate? Syringe type plastic? Is it brittle? Do you think it'll be prone to cracks like the liquinators?
I really like my homemade tanks, but I wish I could do a "hot change" of cartos. I find this to be the major drawback to my homemade syringe tanks.
A number of people have ask about punching holes in a carto. The best and easiest is the saddle valve, you just turn the handle in until you hear a pop and continue turning until it stops and you have a perfect hole the same size every time. Another way is to use a pointed sheet rock or Deck screw and hit it with a hammer until it break thru the carto and tap it until you get the size hole you want. Practice on a old carto to get the hang of it, punch a bunch of holes in it for practice.
I like the screw method too, but the saddle valve I can keep in my office, so easier that a screw and hammer in the office.LOL Still waiting for your thoughts on the tank you bought from Madvapes. So will look again tomorrow, Got to get my beauty rest.I have tried all these procedures to cut or put a hole in these and I feel the easiest way is to use the screw method. Its fast and easy.
The DC carto's for the tank are now up on the site , Great price also.
