306 atty tank using a DCC tank

[Njt07]

Got the original idea from MWA's atty tank thread.

You will need the following.

1x dual coil cartomizer tank
1x dcc metal carto cut from the connector make sure it is flat at the cut
1x carto condom
1x 306 atty and the accompanying sleeve.
1x 18 gauge sharp needle
1x 16 gauge sharp or blunt needle

Step 1: take apart the DCC tank grab the battery end plug.

2: take the carto condom and push it through the tank bottom plug from the battery side, make sure the closed end of the condom is flush with the bottom of the plug, it's not gonna fit without folding/rolling. Open end should be sticking out of the tank side of the plug.

3: open the carto condom open end up, take the 306 sleeve and push the open end into the condom, try to keep the closed end of the condom flush with the bottom of the tank plug until the sleeve bottoms out on the condom. Push the 306 sleeve down till its about the length of a 510 connector out (I know it's imprecise but I don't have a ruler handy).

4: cut off all the excess carto condom from either side of the plug.

5: take the sharp 18 gauge needle and make two holes in the 306 sleeve flush with the bottom of the tank plug (tank side). Put the atty in making sure not to move the plug up or down, try to keep the holes flush with the bottom of the plug.

6: take your blunt or sharp 16 gauge and make ONE of the holes bigger.

7: take the DCC carto and slide it through the top plug of the tank, put your drip tip on it.
8: put the tank on the top plug and then slide the DCC carto over the 306 sleeve till it bottoms out, don't push hard. Push the tank together, you should now have the tank assembled minus juice.

9: remove the BOTTOM plug and the 306 sleeve should slide right out of the DCC tube. Fill with juice and reassemble. If you remember to fill from the bottom you won't force liquid into the holes.


These directions should make your atty tank ready to fit onto the ego tank plug that hides the threading, I think I got mine from madvapes. The bit of tube sticking out at about a 510 connector depth should give just enough clearance, of course you will probably have to fiddle with it a bit for a perfect fit.

I have been using this for a couple of days with a thicker and thinner juice, no flooding and no leaking. If you find that it's gurgling, tilt it horizontal and it won't feed and burn up the liquid in the atty and the juice well. It also doesn't leak when held upside down!

You can use the 510 sleeve as a valve of sorts if the atty begins to flood just push down to block the holes and to allow it to feed just pull it up slightly to unblock the holes and push it back down when not in use or if it begins to flood.

Hopefully this is clear as mud, sorry I don't have pics but if I need to be clearer on anything just ask and I'll try to help.

Pictures would help tremendously - I use atomizers exclusively, can't stand cartos, so anything that would allow me to use an atty without dripping i'm 100% interested in.

 

[notsmoking]

I am also very interested .... but I need the pictures to fully understand what you are doing and how

Updated with photos and added a bit more regarding the 510 sleeve, enjoy!

I am finding that I get a nicer vape than if I drip, dunno why, maybe cause the liquid is spraying directly onto the atty as im using it...

Remember to prime the atty with a couple of non powered pulls till you hear a slight gurgling sound. After the first couple of days the holes close slightly and you can take hard hits off of it if you like, just make sure the 510 sleeve is pulled up when you do this otherwise it will dry out quick!

I made the one in the pics for a buddy using a silver bullet, in hindsight I should have made the 306 sleeve flush with the tank so it would look more seamless. His did flood a little, aside from increasing the overall length with a 510 to ego adapter then cutting a ego sleeve down not sure what to do about that, I use mine on ego with the thread covering thing made for the DCC tanks from madvapes.

How does it work? Does it flood the atty? Seems like a great idea as long as it doesn't flood. Do you fill the whole tank with juice? I think I will try this.

 

[Njt07]

it doesnt flood unless you forget to push the sleeve down when not using it or take excessively hard drags off of it, my buddy with a Silver bullet is using it and the silver bullet has no juice well and his has only flooded once due to the above mentioned reasons.

It works great. and yes I fill it all the way. Easy way to judge the level of the fluid is to push the sleeve down to the bottom, then take off the bottom plug and fill to just below the lip of the sleeve and reinsert the plug.

Well, it could be called the AVS minus the collector tank
I did something similar a year ago, but without the sleeve covering the holes - this is a really good idea, which eliminates all the problems I had those times.

 

[Njt07]

whats an AVS? The sleeve grounds out on the carto condom on the bottom making a better seal

 

[Njt07]

has anyone tried this? I have made 3 now for my coworkers and have had no complaints so far. If anyone has tried it please post I want to see if I can make further improvements on it.

AVS = Auto Vapin System for ggts

 

[Hostile]

why 3 holes for the juice?

 

[utak3r]

I have made one a year ago, but it didn't have the cover over the holes. It had just one very small hole, so the user had to draw (suck) to get the juice in. However - I'm vaping quite thick juices, probably it wouldn't work with more thin ones...

 

[Njt07]

Couple things I've found after a week of use on my non ego box mod.

Reinsert the 306 sleeve with a new carto condom, only push it so the bottom of the sleeve is flush with the bottom of the tank, that is if your mod doesn't have a reservoir cup, if it does put the 306 in the sleeve, then push the 306 sleeve down until you can start to thread, thread the 306 all the way you normally do, then push the sleeve down unil it's fully seated on the 306 atty.

Leave the holes as is, the 510 sleeve now covers the tube and goes down much further than the holes and pretty much stops any feeding, this is with a 30 vg 70 pg juice. If you want to feed the atty just pull the 510 sleeve up to reveal the holes and take a powered hit.

If it starts to flood cover the holes back up and use the juice in the atty.

I've had it flood a couple of times but mostly just seeping no massive leaks or anything.

If you use 100% vg juice, thick juice, you MAY want to make 3 small holes, but I'd start with the two as described above.

The tank defiantly doesn't slide around thanks to the carto condom holding the bottom plug securely.

Hope someone tries this it's working great for me!

Just found a completely unintended benefit/consequence of the 510 sleeve. When your atty runs dry instead of pulling it up and vaping just pull it up (just have figure out how much) and it will feed into the holes then just push back down and vape. Kinda like a poor mans pump.

This sure is a quiet thread, I feel like I'm talking to myself...

 

[cmiller226]

I have a spare 306 atty might be time to give this a try.

 

[notsmoking]

I just gave this a shot to see how it would work and it works GREATTTTTTTTT Thank for putting that up.... the 306 has always been my favorite atty

 

[Njt07]

I'm glad you like it!

Well I'm back to using the holes flush with the bottom of the tank. When the holes were higher I couldn't use the whole tank of juice.

Been using this tank for two weeks now, using a 1.7 ohm Cisco 306 bridges atty and it's working great. I cleaned the first atty I was using and just swapped out the atty before refilling.

If you want to refill without pulling the whole bottom plug off, cut down the 306 sleeve so it doesn't go up into the top plug. You can then just pull the 510 sleeve out and refill with a bottle or needle. WARNING, when you reinsert the 510 sleeve, flp the whole tank upside down after initially starting the 510 sleeve into the tank or you WILL have a huge leak on your hands

Seems good and simple.

Seems good and simple.

That's why I am so happy with it, it's easy to make, and if you're like me you have tried and have all the stuff that this requires to make. Hopefully the droppers out there stumble on this.

I feel like if I link back to this thread anymore the mods will get mad at me.
