I recently discovered ce2s and I can't go back to using cartos with filler now. They taste really bad comparatively! I am looking for a ce2 that will fit xl dual coil carto tanks because I have some really expensive glass ones that I don't want to give up. Any advice on which got vapes product will fit? Has anyone done this? Thanks!
Ce2 advice :)

I'll have to remove at least part of the tube for sure. I saw on e guy do it once but he's not replying to messages much these days. I tried an xl ce2 I had laying around and it didn't fit. Not sure what it was or where it came from, but I've heard gv's clears are really superior so I'm hoping to find something these guys carry that will work!
If I'm not mistaken the diameter of a cartomizer that you normally use inside a tank is smaller than the diameter of a fluxo, or CE2 clearomizer because of the plastic tubing. So I would think the only way you could use a fluxo in a tank is to make one yourself or find someone that can make you a custom insert for the tank you have.
I should also add GotVapes has their own version of the tank. There's a long thread in the forum that you might like to read.

What do you mean by "it didn't fit"? Was the base too big to fit in the bottom of the tank, or was it too small?
If the base of the clearo fits too loosely in the base of the tank, you may be able to do something similar to what I did.
I modified a couple of the original smoktech DC tanks to accept the innards of a clearo by cutting the tube of a stainless steel carto to length. Insert that into the base of the tank, assuming it has the inner o-ring to seal it to the tube, and then insert the ce2 innards into that. You will also need a piece of the tubing for the top of the tank to accept the ce2 seals and a drip tip. I made the tubes length so they protrude out of the end caps about 1/8 inch, YMMV depending on the length of your tanks. This was to make everything line up for the seals at the top. You want to make sure the overall length of the tank with the tubes is the same length as the ce2 plastic tube.
I used those for a while until I discovered the original Arry tank which was made to accept the ce2 innards. He quit making them for a while but now he has a new version which has 2 base caps for slightly different size diameters of clearo bases. They are kinda pricey, but I've had 3 of the originals for almost a year now with no issues.

The diameter of the phoenix is less than the fluxos, maybe one of the new top coils would work?
I'll be following this thread as I love some of the gorgeous glass tanks but really like the clearos better than reg cartos

Actually, the base of the bottom coil phoenix is slightly larger than that of the fluxos. I put a phoenix into one of my Arry tanks and it was a much tighter fit. That's another story, wasn't real happy with the performance of the phoenix...
I have used Fluxomizers inside homemade syringe tanks, and they worked great. I don't know the specifics of the tanks you are looking to use though.

I would buy a phiniac in a hot minute if I could use a clearo rather than a carto!!!
I'm kinda baffled that there aren't more tanks out there made to accept clearo innards. It's so simple, no cutting or punching required. There are a lot of tanks that I would like to own, but never have because they don't accept clearo innards and I don't want to spend a lot of money just to find out that I can't make it work...
fluxomizers will not fit in a typical dc tank. havent tried a phoenix yet but it is slimmer and i had heard of somebody taking a phoenix tube and putting it on a fluxo. my old ce2's i was able to fit in a dc tank but it was a slim very cheap tube that would crack with too much pressure trying to get it into the tank because it was a very very tight fit. if you can get a phoenix tune on a fluxo and the phoenix tune fits in the dc tank then you are golden.

Cool! Thanks for all of the suggestions! On the question about it not fitting, it's too loose to seal properly with the tube removed and too tight to go in with it on. I have several types of tanks I want to make this work for. Here is what I did with my varivape tank:
I removed the tube and used one of his tall caps with the locking screw. I had to screw a 510adapter into the bottom to get the height right. So far that seems to work for this tank. I'm hoping I can use xl fluxos for this.
I also have a torpedo tank from vaporage but My xl clears are too tall and my standards are too short. The caps fit snug, but the xl is too tall for the xl tube!

i was going to say almost the same thing. most all tanks are made to take a SS carto or ce2. so what you can do is this same thing. gut a ss carto and cut about a 1/4 inch piece off the end and slide it down over the base of your clearo ce2 (after removing clear tube of course) then you can insert it into the base of your tank and it should fit like the carto did.
if you are using an adaptor and the connector is inside the tank then you will need an oring on the 510 connection before you screw the ce2 in since they normally get air through this connection. just put the oring over the male part of the 510 on the ce2 and crank it down tight. not sure what size you need though...
wow that is an amazing tank. had no idea anybody was making something like that
this part is easy. use the ce2 that are too long. take the other piece of the ss carto tube and fit it into the top of the tank with the end of the tube flush with the underside of the tank top. when assembled the too long ce2 will simply go up into the tube and leave the wicks hang into the tank. put your ce2 seal on the cup in the ss tube as if it was stock (not in a tank) and adjust and fill as you normally would a regular ce2. you can trim the tube so it is only as long as required to fit the drip tip or you can leave it longer. if the clear tube fits the tank you can use it too and just leave the extra length stick out the top of the tank lol another option you can get the same size poly tubing and cut it to make the tanks the length you need.
if the ce2 is shorter than the tank you just push the top tube into the tank more until it just covers the cup and you can get the seal in from the top. just dont fill it past the bottom of the ceramic cup until you have it adjusted just right or it will leak.
i used to make syringe tanks the same way - flip over the plunger cap and punch it out to hold a section of the ce2 tube for the tank lid and cup seal and drill out the luer lock connector - the clearo ce2 fits right in this perfect. super quick and easy to make cheap enough to be disposable but they almost wont wear out lol
No need to gut cartos, just use stainless steel CE2 instead of clearos ... See similar discussion on this ("will a ce2 fit inside the dct?") thread.
i had the same thought too but havent looked i kinda thought they were being phased out for some reason. but if you already use cartos with the tank then you already have the tubes you can use with the clearos...
and once you have several of the pieces made you just use them over and over not like you have to make new ones every time lol
Exactly...just pull the tube off of the clearo and insert it into your modified tank...or buy a couple ArryCE2v2 tanks. I only know of one US vendor for these. Just google "ArryCE2v2"
Here's a picture of mine with a phoenix in it, but it's the same principle, although the phoenix is a much tighter fit...had to pound it in.
