ACTv3 (Arry Carto Tank) is coming to Stormy's Vapor Cellar!!

[Joe944]

I just subscribed to the newsletter. This is what I've been waiting for... I've had too many problems with tanks that depend on o-rings to seal, this seems like a MUCH improved design.

I hope I get one or two in the next batch.

Welcome aboard Joe, this is a great tank!

Stormy, I subscribed to the newsletter back when I got my tank but haven't received anything yet, has a new one come out?

 

[CloudBurst]

Brutus- I sent one on 12/16 and 12/23, maybe it went to spam if you didn't get them. Check your profile and make sure e box at the bottom is checked as subscribed.

I must have one maybe two of these when they are available. Where do I sign up?

 

[CloudBurst]

I'll be sending a Newsletter when I get solid dates and quantities from Arry. You can subscribe to the Newsletter at the website. Click on my signature to get there.

Stormy rocks BIG time for all versions!

I have two ACTV3s, both on ProVaris. One is fitted with a Boge carto and the other has a punched, steel CE2 in it.
It is, by far, the best tank system I've used.
I'm looking forward to see the V4.

Thanks,
Lee

Hey Lee...... I'm curious to know how you did the CE2 steel carto for the Arry tank. I'm also using a ProVari.
I have quite a few of them and hadn't thought about trying one until I saw your post. Did you put the hole in the same spot as the Boge cartos? What about the gasket around the ceramic cup -- did you leave that in place or remove it? The CE2 looks just a tad shorter than the Boge... did you have to do anything to compensate for that? Did you use the little o-ring that you use on the Boge when putting the CE2 into the bottom cap of the Arry? I'm just full of questions. LOL
I'm wondering what he can do with the V4 to improve what we have in the V3. I'm very anxious to see the new version and what is different. Arry is one heck of a modder and I'm glad Stormy hooked up with him.
Any info or tips you can give me would be appreciated. Thanks..... horton -- out

You covered it for me and my questions also! I bet with the cap on it, it fits right up into the top cap. I have a few of the regular CE2's, I'm gonna try it.

 

[CloudBurst]

I got it to work! Cut 4 slits in another silicone cap, stacked it on the first one and let the tank cap press down onto it to fill the small gap. Works great!

 

[horton]

I was just thinking (that is dangerous at times I know....lol) ..... if he leaves the "fill" gasket in the carto it would help prevent any leakage and you aren't going to be filling through it with the hole in the side to take in fluid.
In terms of what you are doing Stormy, are you basically making a "disk" with the end of the silicon cap and letting it sit on top of the carto to fill the gap? I'm trying to visualize how you are doing it.
So many questions, so little time......
Hey, maybe we can call this the Arry V3.5 or CE2 edition?? lol horton -- out

 

[Jackass69]

I really want one, the stalking begins

 

[CloudBurst]

Horton- there isn't a hole in the side of the ACTv3. You might be thinking about the Notta. I filled my ACTv3 with the CE2 with a needle. Poked through the caps and filled.

horton,
Hole is in the same spot as a Boge. I made is as large as possible to facilitate juice flow.
The topmost plug will seal into the top cap around its edge so it doesn't matter if the carto is a little shorter.
I enlarged the wick slots in the main CE2 seal and discarded the donut seal. With the improved wicking, I run mine at 5 volts on the ProVari.
The o-ring at the bottom of the carto is critical. I special-ordered a dozen at Southwest Seal, a local shop. IIRC, they are metric 6mmx1.2mm, buna.

HTH,
Lee

Thanks for the help Lee. I'm going to give it a try and will report how it works for me. I learned the hard way about that bottom o-ring -- had quite a little puddle before I noticed the leaking due to lack of a good seal sans the o-ring. Also, thanks for the size of the carto o-ring. I'm sure I'll be needing some and like to be stocked ahead of time. Wonder if I'll be able to find them around here? If not, there has to be some online store that will have them --- hint, hint, Stormy......

Stormy -- I was referring to filling the CE2 "standalone", when I was talking about the "holes in the side". I should have worded the sentence better. It's no wonder my teachers got on me about my writing skills....lol Sorry about that. horton -- out

I carry these o rings on the website, they are the same used for the Arry CE2 tank Clearomizers, the black ones.

Here's mine with an XL CE2, I love it!
