Ive been trying to make a tank for my duel coil cartos, and they are failing miserably. Im using a syringe with punched plunger caps. When I fill the tank with a punched carto all the liquid drips out the battery connector. Is there a thread already discussing carto tanks? I can only find ones talking about ce2 tanks. Im getting extremely frustrated, and about ready to give up.

There is a thread discussing Liquinator tank (http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/cartomizers/189208-tank-o-matic-liquinator-v4-1-a.html) and its 245 pages long.
I think most people with the dual coils have the same problem but dont recall with 100% certainty.
Search the thread above and that should give you the info you want.
Good luck.

On the DC cartos, try using Smoketech stainless DC cartos, not CE2's. And make 1 hole as small as possible! It shouldnt leak this way.
To fill a dual coil, or any other carto:
1st: DON'T pre-fill it.
2nd: DON'T try to fill it through it's normal fill hole.
Install the carto into your empty tank then press the threaded end of the carto back into the inside of the tank and move it over to one side out of the way, just enough to drip into the tank without dripping onto the threads. Keep the threaded end pointed UP. If you use a syringe, push very slowly so as not to pressurize the carto.
Stop filling before the juice gets to the threads. then just push the threaded end back into place.
It is normal for some juice to get in the air hole. sling or blow it out and your set.
With that being said,,, I just slam it in through the fill screw and sling the excess out.
(but I'd guess that you don't have a fill screw)
you can even push one carto out with the new one and not loose more than 1 drop.
Also don't blow back through the drip tip unless you use CE2s. It will pressurize the tank and get all gurgley on you. If you need to clear the air tube/passage blow through the threaded end. But a good 'ol sling (or 3) works better.
It is best not to fill a carto tank all the way full. leave some room for the juice to expand some as it heats up from the coil firing. Or else it will pressurize the tank and get all gurgley on you too.

that's what was wrong! Thanks, I was filling before I placed the second grommet. I didn't even think of the pressure. I'm now Using my tank and it is insanely awesome.
Or just use a Boge Carto and be happy. I've tried DC's and honestly don't understand the love for them. I've never had a Boge leak on me.
Boge cartos do not impress me! Sure the Smoketech DC cartos are prone to leaking if you make the hole big, or if you make 2 holes instead of 1, but the flavor and vapor production kicks ...!!!!!
They sure do, I got my tank working yesterday, and I cant put the thing down!
Its unreal isn't it? Never thought a carto could make my juice taste this good! Im vaping flavors that disgusted me on attys!
they are just beautiful too. I got mine on a 18650 E-power that I striped the black off of and polished to a mirror, and it looks like a million bucks. I dont know if anyone found out yet but Under the black finish its brass.
