I really like the cartomizer tanks but I didn't feel comfortable bringing it to work with me because i was afraid of the sturdiness of the tank on the mod.
So I started playing around with a few things and this is what I came up with.
It's bulletproof now and I have the advantage of a tank but not the worry of breaking it.
First I took a Cartomater Tank....I beveled the top to give it a cleaner look. Then i took the bottom cap and turned down the lip so that it could slide into the tank tube to any location I wanted.
The idea was to get the bottom cap to sit flush on top of the mod. I was worried about restricting the airflow so I milled a slot on the underside of the cap....now air can pass through. I'm using a mod with a recessed 510 connection so the bottom of the tank cap can sit tight on the mod. I also used an XL tank tube with a regular sized carto so the tube could extend down on the mod.
I beveled the inside bottom of the tank tube so it would seat nicely on the mod. Then I added a fill port and air passage holes in the tank as well.
Spun the tank on the lathe to give it a frosted look as well.
When the tank goes on the mod it literally hugs the top cap. No movement and sturdy as hell.
Put a piece of heat shrink tubing on the mod's tube to give it a non-slip grip. I used a small tubing cutter to cut the heat shrink even with the mod, added a couple of o rings at the top for even more grip.
I hope I expained this so everyone could understand what I did.
What I have is a bulletproof tank mod now. What do you think. I know it's not as technical as most of the others....I just wanted to share it.
