DIY Cartomizer Tank Syringe Mod Video Tutorial - How to Make Your Own

[andyman97]

The video was longer than I anticipated, so I had to break it into two parts. It's basically the same setup that David (USAGold101) did with a few additions and tips from my experience.

Part I:

Thank you. It occurred to me after posting this that reviews probably wasn't the right place. Now I know!

I hope it's okay if I ask a couple questions. I'm new to vaping but, I love to tinker so I want to give this a go.

I am curious as to how the carto works/wicks with this setup? Are you taking the outer plastic off the carto? If I'm asking a stupid question or missed it in the video I'm sorry. I just don't see how it would work and need clarification.

And the rubber stoppers from ththe syringe is bowl shaped (like a kitchen bowl) so when you put the one in the bottom of the tube is the bottom of the bowl facing the outside or the inside of the tube? Same question for the top stopper.

I know this is really easy to make I just want to make sure I'm doing it right the first time. Great job on the video by the way and thanks for taking the time to make it.

No problem, ask away.

Boge cartos are sold in a metal version with no black wrapper on them. The way I put the stoppers in was facing the flared ends inward, towards each other.

Is your carto punched?

 

[bzmotoninja83]

Yes the carto would have to be punched so it can draw liquid into the filler.

Quick question, where did you get the syringes? can you possibly post a link to them in the correct size?
If you said it in the video i might have missed it, bunch of crazy kids running around screaming lol

Here is mine, not very pretty but for a total of 1 Smokless Image long SS Carto and $4.00 it is a bargain. Vapes well, no leaks so far, but it is a mess to fill, at least the first time.

For 4$ it's a good catch I'll say!

Thanks for posting! What a great video. I went to buy some cartomizers to try this today and none in my local area sells anything but the CE4's and standard cartiridges. I have to order them, I guess. I'm thinking of using the SmokTech Replacement 510-DCT Cartomizers that are used in the rebuildable tank systems. Will these work?

510-DCT cartomizers are to be used in DCT tanks. Rebuildable tank systems are just that...rebuildable. In a rebuildable tank system the coil and wick is rebuilt.

Sorry if my terminology is a bit off. I'm still a bit of a noob, after all.

Thanks for responding! I have seen videos of ones like these being used to make the syringe mod, but I wanted to make sure that this was the right one. I am not interested in rebuilding the coils and wicks just yet. These are the cartomizers that are meant to be used as replacements in the DCT tank system, but I want to just use it in a tank that I build. Should be okay, yes?
