So I was looking at a collection of old tanks I have and Decided that they are just going to waste sitting in a bag in my storage room. I grabbed my small hacksaw and here's what I did.
The tank I used is this The HAUS Personal Vaporizer by Mistic . These tanks have a removable screw on base and use a coil head that is an almost exact match to your average kanger/evod coil. I first used my hack saw to cut off the mouth piece so that I could remove the chimney or tube inside the tank.
Once I cut the mouth piece off and had a hollow tank, I filed it down until I could stick a plastic black drip tip into it nice and snug, which I pulled off of an old CE4 type top coil cartomizer. Then I took the coil head and sawed off half the metal cup where the coil it's self sits. I took only one half off because I needed to be able to unscrew it for rebuilding when needed.
I then drilled a hole in the tank directly in front of the area on the coil head that would need to be exposed to airflow. I used a 1/16 Phillips and just spun it with my hand until it broke through and created a nice neat hole for airflow.
I proceeded to wrap an 1.8 ohm nano coil using 32 gauge kanthal. Organic cotton was used as a wick. I stuffed some cotton directly underneath the coil to block up the airflow from the bottom, which wasn't needed anymore since I drilled a hole in the tank it's self. With everything screwed back together and lined up perfectly, it was time to give it a try.
I'm surprised to say that it works quite well and actually made my 24 and 18mg juices way to strong, which is something I anticipated. It took me less than an hour to do this and I'm glad I did. This experiment has has showed me that dripping will greatly enhance my vaping experience.
I will definitely buy a decent dripper in the future when funds permit me to do so. If you try this, wash everything thoroughly to get rid of any metal or plastic shavings. All testing was done at a mere 11 watts with my faithful mvp. I experienced no dry or burnt hits of any kind, but did have some minor leaking from the bottom, which I expected anyways. Adding liquid is done simply by removing the drip dip and carefully dripping liquid onto the coil.
