Thank Me Later =)

NP, we all had to learn at some point, right?

We make the holes in a carto for placement in a tank. The tank holds lots of extra juice, and the holes in the carto allow the juice to absorb into the carto from the tank.

See this link as an example (just a quick one I knew where to find - I'm not recommending it necessarily, as I haven't tried this particular one, although I do like this supplier. ).

HV Chibi Tank Mod

A good photo - shows the carto w/the holes. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the explanation, that is one use I never would have guessed.

Awesome idea!!!

I was thinking of these...

Amazon.com: GB Electrical GRX-3224 NM Cable Stripper: Home Improvement

Those look like they should be fine. Though over twice the price of the ones I found at HF. Whatever works for ya though

First of all, HOLY CRAP, he officially named it the Chibi (I call that tank that cause it's so dang cute!)
Second, I'm vaping one right now and they're really great little tanks. You do have to needle fill them, but once you get used to doint it, it's great. Don't even have to take it off the mod.

I am going to Lowes today to buy this tool. I had to hammer and nail a carto last night and I'm not a huge fan. I'd very much like to avoid doing that in the future.

Let us know how the tool from Lowes works for ya.

Actually you don't have to needle fill them. All you need is a 3 ml syringe and some sort of tool to make a hole. Take the rubber plunger off the 3 ml syringe (those are SO much easier to find than the larger ones, i believe they can be found in the baby/pharmacy section of any store that sells that kinda stuff), you make a hole in the side slightly smaller than the pluger so that it fits tight, and poof, you have an easy fill hole. Here's mine to give you a better idea of what it looks like.

Oh yeah! And I have some of those tiny syringes too. Yay!

Actually, I had some of the itty bitty needles (insulin type) and I used one of those tiny plungers in a tiny hole in the tank and BAM, it works.

I've ruined 3 carto's already trying to punch holes in them with a tool I bought from Home Depot... =(

 

[GIMike]

My cutters must not be as big as the OPs cause it actually didn't fit properly and it had 2 of the "teeth" that tried to put holes in my carto. So now I have a dent and a hole on 2 sides of the carto. It's still just 2 holes though, and seems to be working great for me so far. Used them on a new carto last night as the original one was getting clogged and needed thrown away. Took it all apart, punched the holes (ugly though they are with the dents), reassembled, started vaping. Been going strong since 8 pm last night, working great. No leaks and getting proper wicking. I think it might be how sharp the "teeth" are and how hard you're having to press. I keep calling them teeth, they're the pointy separaters between the different gauges of wires you can strip. IE, the "tooth" that separates 10 awg and 12 awg is the one that punches the holes in it for me. If your "tooth" isn't sharp enough, you may just end up crimping the carto closed or cutting a massive hole in it. I just searched youtube for any videos on doing this, and couldn't find anything. I'll try to get one on there tonight.

 

[Jason-Tank]

If you are unsure about the pair u have try it on a dead carto first.

 

[Jason-Tank]

You wouldnt find youtube vids on this because it was created by this post lol, forsure no one thought of this before me, after all it was kind of an acident for me discovering it lolz

How about a link to that exact wire stripper that you have?

 

[Jason-Tank]

The dents you are getting is normal, if there like mine then there really small and they are uniform so its not thay ugly. A good way to fix it is grind the outter edge of the cutters that make the dent just alil . Hope that helps

Thanks.

The teeth on that stripper seem a lot sharper than the one I got at Home Depot.

 

[StotheK]

So, turns out my strippers are also not sufficiently sharp. But I did kind of come up with an alternate method that works pretty well. First I take the strippers like outlined above. But rather than punching holes, my goal is to make small dents on either side of the carto. Then I take the carto stick it in a bench vice and use a small finishing nail to complete the holes.

The dents serve two purposes. First, it keeps the nail from slipping when I hammer it in. Second, it thins the metal out a little bit making it possible for a small nail to pierce the carto.

 

[Jason-Tank]

Good call on the post, that was my original thought when ppl were saying theres were not sharp enough to peirce the carto, to just use it has a guide rather then try and punch through a curved surface . Well done
