Ordered a set of the brushed beveled caps and an extra Saphire Blue tube, Thanks Cuse and Drew!! 
That's what Cuse told me.. I guess the delrin shipped later. But not too long, I think he said thurs or fri at latest.
I love my SS tank, but it is more difficult to fill (completely) than any other tank design that I have tried. Have you considered making a design with a fill port. Port in tank tube with a stainless steel screw would be great. Even better might be a small syringe port through the cap itself; although it would have to be oversized enough to allow the air to escape while filling.
It's extremely easy to add a fill port to any tank. This is what I do. Hope this helps! Making a Fill Port for a Tank. : Lavacorps - International Vapers Club
FriedLiverAtak... love the avatar! And I agree, I'm excited to order my new pink delrin tank, but for those of us who are challenged with diy, or just don't have the tools... the option to have a fill-port would be OUTSTANDING.
And Pete54... Thanks so much for the detailed directions!! I don't have the tools available, but a friend of the family comes by every so often with his toolbox, so I'm saving your directions for him. Should be no sweat and a 5 minute job, I'm guessing, once he has the parts. You know, I was gonna ask you for specifically size and shape of screws, but I just noticed you put a handy link right to the product! That in and of itself is handy for those of us without a lot of DIY knowhow. Thanks again!
Unlike the plastic tubes, I see the advantage on the SS tube. I use an SS tube myself and it does take a little getting used to filling. But I don't even think about it anymore.. And eventually you even know exactly when it's time to fill, without it being completely dry.
But I may do fill ports at some point if the SS tubes end up being popular.
If anyone is going to diy a fill-port on their SS tube, make sure you use a carbide bit. It is 316SS and is very hard stuff.

making up some kind of jig is recommended, as well. Drilling through a rounded piece of stainless steel can be a pain . . . even with a drill press the bit can slide off to the side from the curved surface. I work maintenance in a machine shop, I've beat the heck out of every metal known to man and stainless just plain sucks to work with sometimes ;-)

You was the first person I had heard of that did this.
Pete is right. It works great.
I would offer to help you Fried and Orachel and do this for you for free, but it would cost you more in shipping than it would cost to buy what you need to do this.

I hear ya man. My dad is a gunsmith, so I literally grew up around the stuff and I still have my days where I can't make SS do what I want, no matter how hard I try!

I may try this if I get sick of trying to fill from the top with the needle bottle tip that I use now. I know the M1A1 tanks have a fracture pattern around their holes which I don't care for. Can it be done without this happening?
Why would it not naturally allow air to escape? Couldn't the air escape as it does when you normally suck on the mod without an extra hole?
Absolutely! To me, the key is the tapered hand tap. I have tubes with fill ports that I've used for four months with no fractures at all. Personally, I don't like the big thumb screws because they catch on clothing. The Polypropylene Screws work perfectly. When I first tried this, I used Polycarbonate Screws because they were clear. I got a big surprise when a few days later the heads started breaking off the threads! SS screws work as well but I find the softer Polypropylene screws seem to put less stress on the tube.

I've been using SS screws for a while now and I have not had any problems.

Hey Lowboy. Yup, if the hole is cut properly, any screw will work! I have a SS tube that I've never tried because I've never had a tube crack due to the juice I was using. Just lucky I guess. That and I don't know if I could get used to not seeing the juice level. Like CG said, I guess you'd just get a feel for when the tank needs filling after a while. I have cobalt drills so I might try to make a fill port in the SS tube later tonight. I wonder if I can find a cobalt hand tap?
