Some people on the Liquinator thread have been discussing having used a hack-saw, a punch or even a nail with some success, Bov. At one point, I was considering the nail and was soundly advised to reconsider and I am so glad that I did. You can imagine the list I would have come up with if I had tried that, lol!
I'm thinking cheap Dremel is the way to go...

I have not had any issues with the sliding at all. So far I don't see where it is a problem. I just pull it up until the drip stops it from going up further and that is where it stays. I have messed with it a bunch though and at times pulled it down. When this happens there is no mess when you pull it back up and if you touch the part that was submerged in the tank prior to pulling it back up it is hardly wet. I've been walking around for close to three weeks with my liquinator in my pocket, my bag etc. and I have not noticed any sliding that I have not caused messing with the thing. No leaks or liquid messes any where!
My issue is I am never sure if I screwed it on tight enough. There is really no where to grab on to the cartomizer itself and screw. If you hold the tank it will eventually start spinning as will the drip tip.... So I just stop when the drip tip spins a bit, but I always feel like the cartomizer could have gone on tighter.
I am very sorry to hear about Reggie's health. It is good to hear he is not in pain. 13 is pretty old for a dog so showering him with love is the best medecine!
I used to haved problems sliding when the MAP was in it's original configuration then I found out if you clean and dry the delrin and the o-rings real good and the tank where the end goes it won't slide. The juice between them are what cause them to slide.
I love these tanks with the Fusion and the Mega 808. My Stormy tank went through a terrible storm and sank but I made one I like better. So now I got the one I made and it holds 4ML. and the Fusion Map holds 5ML. They are all I use any more. The one I made I like better just because I have a filler hole or port so it's very easy to use. It also has smaller seals so the tank holds more. I've layed it in every position including upside down an no leaks anywhere. I HATE LEAKY THINGS.
But one thing, no matter how good these tanks are they are one heck of a lot better with a Buzz or an Infinity to vape them with. That makes them come alive.
I hope Reggie comes out of it with meds Bo. It's terrible when our little fur babies get sick.

Yes, that's the way to go. Pokey knows her stuff, and don't be disagreeable with her when she's armed with a Dremel & cutting tool.
All that center punch/ten-penny nail thinking is bound to turn a round shaft into an oval shaft that leaks like a sieve.
That was my thoughts as well PI. On my last one I used the thicker grinding wheel on the Demmel and held it on an angle. it made a perfectly square hole. It really vapes good too so I'm going to use it next time too.

So what voltage are you vaping these at. With my liquinator I was vaping the LR boges (which from another post I believe are about 2ohms) at the 4.5 Wharf sent me the Buzz at. I put one of the regular boges into the liquinator and it was pretty weak. I turned the screw on the buzz about 1.5 rotations (I'm to lazy to go out to the garage and grab the voltage meter to see what the voltage is now. It is weaker then the LR was at 4.5 volts after turning the screw, BUT now sometimes where the drip tip touches my lip it burns a little. It doesn't leave marks or anything, but it is a tad bit uncomfortable!
Hey 5c, sounds like you have been doing some great Tank modding.
I am probably going to put a tank like this together soon, myself. I would like to source the polycarbonate and grommets and put something cool together, but I will probably just be lazy and buy one. What would you recommend: MAP tank?, Liquinator?, Stormy Tank? Is your 5c® Fusion tank system still your favorite?
I'm vaping mine at 5.2V. In the end, however, what setting I'm using doesn't matter. Whatever works for you is correct.
I have to grab the voltage meter and see what I am at... I started at 4.5 and didn't turn the screw much, so I doubt I am that high. I'd like to turn it up further for more vapor and better TH, but the hotness of the drip tip is a little uncomfortable. Does your drip get hot at 5.2?
Thanks for the well wishes for Reggie
I haven't checked the voltage on my Buzz lately but I think I have it at about 4.3v. I didn't even test the carto in my Liq. tank.
I mix my own juice and use 20% flavor so there's nothing weak in my vape PI is right...turn it up or down till it tastes right for you.

It depends on the drip tip. There's a lot of variability in there. Is yours Delrin or stainless? where did you get it from?
I actually vape on the 808 more just because the tank is a little smaller. But for vapor, taste, and performance the MAP Fusion is my fav. It's like the smaller tank I can fill easier too. I guess I could put a port on the MAP/Fusion but I was waitng until I figured out an easier way.Hey 5c, sounds like you have been doing some great Tank modding.
I just tried them both and The MAP/Fusion is perfect at everything. Flavor, Vapor, Draw. I guess I'll fill it before it runs completely out. I don't know about the liquinator as I didn't get one of those.
But hey they're easy to build.
Wow I just filled the Map and it took my all of 2 seconds. I guess I don't need a port. If your going to use a Map you will have to make the extension for the Fusion but that's easy to do.

Ahh, you made an extension for the fusion, I was actually thinking I might need to cut the tube to make the fusion work. Cool. Thanks!
What did you do for an extension - part of an old carto and connect them with a condom?
The drip tips are the ones sold with the liquinator from vaporescence.com. Not stainless, it's some kind of plastic.
I think I figured out my problem. I pulled out the voltage meter and looks like I turned the screw more then I thought... it was at 5.2, maybe that is why the drip tip is getting hot. Even so, the hit is still a little mild at 5.2 with the 3 ohm atty. I didn't think I was that hard core... Maybe I need to go back to the LR's that are at 2 - 2.1 ohms because that was nice at 4.5 and the drip tip wasn't burning my lips!

Hi G!
Here are some links to what other folks are using to make theirs from scratch...just sharing, I can't vouch for either not having gone that route.
Polycarb Tubing
3/4" OD x 5/8" ID x 1/16" Wall Polycarbonate Tubing | U.S. Plastic Corp.
Vinyl Grommets
Vinyl Grommet 5/16 Bore Diameter
I recall that the polycarb might be available on amazon, also. The cool thing about these grommets is that the center hole is already there, no punching required. These are vinyl, but I think there is one other substance supposedly better than vinyl but the name escapes me this morning. A few folks claim to be able to taste the rubber in their vape if using rubber grommets, so that doesn't sound like the way to go. Some peeps are also adding o-rings to the grommet for a sturdier fit.
The more I type the word grommet the weirder it looks. I hate when words do that to me.
Thank You Pokey! This is great.
I can actually order them both through Amazon, I even get free shipping on the polycarbonate.
I just found a source for Buna Nitrile Grommets(grommets looks weird to me too now!). I requested a quote, although they will probably want me to buy 50,000, lol. If they won't sell me a small quantity I will just go with the vinyl, they should be ok. I agree about the "rubber" I would not go that route, they are a petroleum product that would certainly "leech" into the eliquid.
Thanks again!
I used one of the drip tips off the 510 drip tip cartomizer. You have to cut off the end then I put it in a drill and turned it while cutting a groove with a Dremmel for an o-ring. With an o-ring on each end it doesn't leak and works pretty good.

Cool Pokey. Thanks for the links. I just used a 5cc syringe and cut my own grommets. Now I know where to order them.
Ahhh...n-i-t-r-i-l-e, that was the word I couldn't think of this morning. Thanks G!
And you're welcome, 5cs. I tried with the syringe thingys = fail. Hopefully these'll work out for you...
These'll?? Is that even a real word? Well, it is today in Pokey World, lol.
