Disappointed in CE2? Try this!

[tonyfalkon]

I ran out of the ceramic cartos so I tried this with my regular cartos now I don't have to refill blind and I can use them for more than 3 days b4 burning them out.

If the the moderators and the OP feels that this is out of topic and should not be here, my apologies and feel free to delete this post.

I'd like to see a pic and get more info on that mod.
Maybe start a new thread?

It can be done exactly the same way. Just shorter.

Fun stuff here. I went to a party last night and laid my coat in the corner. Inside my coat was my 5v box mod with a syringe mod on it. Apparently I didn't turn off the master switch and the button got pressed! Needless to say, I picked up my coat and the worst smell came out of it. The syringe had melted all the way down past the cup! Note to self... integrate protection circuitry!

 

[CloudBurst]

OUCH! Was the carto dead? LOL

 

[Gummy Bear]

I guess we have all done that note to self,,,, at least loosen the atty enough the thing won't fire in a pocket.

We have all been waiting for you over in the "Rate the avatar above you" thread. What's keeping you? hurry up,,,,

 

[BeatSherlock]

you don't get any leakage?

 

[CloudBurst]

Nope...It seals great!

 

[Ghostc4]

so is there an alternative to a pipe cutter

 

[CloudBurst]

It's a little more difficult but you can use a dremmel tool. Just don't go too far into the tube or you'll cut through the wicks.

 

[chain_vaper]

OMG awesome pics....I'm going to try this...

Thank you guys for posting such clear tutorials, it was easy with the pipe cutter and utility knife.
My very first Mods!

mine seems to be leaking pretty badly out of the air holes, does anyone know why?

 

[CloudBurst]

Did you possibly fill it too full? If it's leaking out the air holes the juice is going from the ceramic cup down the air tube. Also, if you get juice in the cup while filling it run straight down. I do it now and then!

What she said and if the condensation builds up it can travel down the airflow tube and out the end.

 

[Ghostc4]

It wasn't over filled, but the entire carto emptied onto my desk. I am thinking that I may have broken the little air tube.

Ahh, in that case you probably did. I originally thought you were talking about seepage.

That's one of the problems with the CE2, once you take it apart, they're pretty fragile. As soon as the mod is completed, they're stable again but from the time that you cut them to the time they're in place, they are very easy to ruin. Jump back on the horse and try again, haha. Good luck! Storm's syringe mods work very well once built!

Did you use a dremil to cut the tube off?

It sounds like the air tube is loose on the ceramic cup. A length of heat shrink tubing is installed to prevent this, but it is rarely tight enough for a tight seal. Sometimes it can be so loose that it will empty the carto due to capillary action.

In these cases, I usually heat it enough to make it tighter. However, a used carto will have juice in between and it must be cleaned and dried before it will seal.
