What I am looking for is how to get the top and bottom caps off of the clearomizers intact so I can re-use them. My idea is to get a pure glass test tube and cut it down and then re-glue the caps back on the glass test tube. This will create a pure glass clearomizer that will still be re-buildable. I will then get a good thick piece of black rubber(nice looking) and create a sleeve around the glass with the black rubber. This rubber will act as a protection sleeve for the glass, so if it gets dropped it won't break. Lastly the black sleeve will keep light out so it won't degrade any e-liquid.
