The vertical one I'm vaping right now with the hemp fill, has me downright giddy. Just so, so good.
Not sure yet if I simply got lucky and put just the perfect amount of hemp in, or if it's just inherently more forgiving than cotton so far as getting the packing correct since I've just done the first one last evening.

OK, I finally found some 3/32 brass tube today at a hobby shop (RC). Using this to make a pin, hopefully really soon I can post a way to make this mod without having to drill, cut or grind on the 510 male to 510 female adapter (other than removing existing pin). This will allow you to build this for the BB or for a standard/XL carto tank device. I love this thing so much, I want it on my other tanks too. Also, came up with a way to eliminate the need for soldering the upper part of the ARO head to the carto tank tube portion. Thanks to Big Screen D's anti gurgle tube, it gave me the idea to backfill (empty carto tube portion) with epoxy or silicone allowing you to seal the tank and not have to solder. Haven't actually done it yet as I already soldered several together. But someone who cannot solder, can't think of a reason it wouldn't work.
More to come later.

I could see where epoxy or JB weld could be used. Probably would be a good idea to clamp the stem/cart tube assembly till set since it's the ground path in the BB.
Really loving these with the vertical coil and "anti gurgle tube". Made a 28ga 14 wrap 1/16" ID vertical last night for my Boba's Bounty tank. The larger coil works particularly well with that VG juice. Pushing the BB to it's limit with that coil at just under 3 amps. Nice warm flavorful vape from a bottom coil no less.
Hey J, I take it the new adapters you got in are good diameter wise?

Well, all the adapters I received from discount vapor worked out (they have sent a couple different ones over the last several orders). But I still have not received my order from my freedom smokes yet. This is the longest they have ever took to get something to me. But they did have a big sale this past week, so probably pretty slammed.
Next one I make, will see if I have any Permatex left and give it a try. It is black silicone and rated over 500 degrees, so it should also be fine. Only downside to silicone is unless you use potable silicone, it takes a long ... time to cure when it is not exposed to air (like in a casting such as this tube). But it should still work fine and should flow pretty easily down the tube. But hobby epoxy would be the best as it flows really well and doesn't need air to cure. I would recommend leaving the pipette long until whatever adhesive you're using cures, then cut it off. Wouldn't want to take a chance of getting anything down in the center tube.
I can't wait to try making this pin to allow the full size adapter. Been anxious as hell to have a Condor for my Loki/IBTanked setups for the Provari. Man, a Condor and the micro coil in the Provari is going to rock!!! Finishing up some home projects and should get a little time later after that tonight (or morning...hehe...night owl).
OK, been a little slow to finish this project. I got my first pet in over 10 years weekend before last and wanted to spend time with the new little fellow (Malloy the ferret in my photobucket). Then worked all last weekend. So anyway I finished it up and it works fantastic in my Loki tanks on the Provari. Was going to wait and spec out all the little measurements, but everyone really needs to just fit it to the components they buy. Due to adapter being slightly different or grinding more or less, there was just no need in me getting bogged down doing it. What makes this project a little different than the regular condor is I built my own pin using 3/32 brass tube (available at most RC Hobby stores) and left the bottom 510 male to 510 female connector fully intact. Whatever you do, don't forget to drill a vent hole on the brass pin (wonder how I know that). Also put a tiny piece of heat shrink on the pin to keep it from slipping up into the ARO head and loosing connection.
Here is a pic of the parts from the start. I used all insulators from both 510 adaptor and ARO head with my brass pin.
I did grind down adapter vents on female side just to ensure leak free operation.
All put together with standard boge carto used for the upper tube. It is a little long for the XL tube tank and would be really long for a standard, but I haven't cut it back yet. Literally just finished this morning.

Well after reading all your post thinking about trying to mod my scientist mini gen to work in my bb.
Thinking min genesis with a captivape driptip with a hole in the side of the drip tip it's self should work if I use the diver clone sleeve/ 10x protank or whatever you call it basically it's a protank type cartomizer for carto tanks. If I can't sell the freekn addy might as well mod it. Will post pics soon if I can get it working. The captivape drip tip was made for the a7 to act like the spheroid but I don't use it either so y not try a different approach than you have. I know the addy is high end but hey what good does it do me laying around.
Do need to know the total length of the whole carto that is suspose to work with the billet box as I bought mine second hand and had divers already cut. 30mm sound right? Really don't use cartos so never used a standard one or have one to measure
This is the addy I plan on modding Piculisci Rebuildable Atty - Scientist - Rebuildables. I know I need a air source since its a sealed addy but I think the drip tip will be a work around
I believe 30mm might be too short as a standard carto is 35mm which fits. Was thinking there is a post today on bb thread that the new Diver for bb is 32.5mm but don't quote me on that.
Just a thought for what you are doing. I assume you don't have the means to tap threads in a tube to cover the coil. So you could cut an old carto to salvage the tube. Then use something like pig putty ( an epoxy putty) to form threads into the tube. If you do it correctly it can thread and unthread tube from base. Anyway, just a quick thought after getting a minimal glance at your parts.

Now that looks like quite a project. You plan on using a mesh wick, or doing something completely different?
I Actully have 2 tubes that are screw on that fit the mini genesis they just need a feed hole. I got them from a coop for a diver clone that was already over but the girl traded me 2 of the diver clones that were actually some sort of prototype of cross between protank head and carto combined. Will show pictures this afternoon so you can get a better idea
They prolly would work like what you have been building if I sanded down the flange and cut to 35mm
Oh yeah they take the 10x protank heads. If you google diver clone you can find in a calivapers fourm I think what I got.
Ah OK, I see what you're doing.
Is this it? latest DC protank ( changeable coil head ,pyrex glass tube and stainless steel parts),Newest 510 DCT tank, View protank , YILOONG Product Details from Jiangmen Yiloong Industrial Co., Ltd. on Alibaba.com
Looks a LOT like the RBA that Scubabatdan was working on for the BB.
The only thing that bothers me with this type is the wick doesn't protrude into the juice passage and has to rely completely on the right balance of vacuum vs juice viscosity to consistently feed the wick inside. Is even harder to accomplish with the 6ml rectangular tank in the BB than with the smaller ProTank 3ml capacity.
What often happens with the ones I build, is they will work great until the tank is about half empty, then because of the large tank and shape, will tend to flood as the tank gets more and more air inside. I usually just refill if I can, or flick out the excess and vape on until I can get around to refilling.

Is there a way that I am not seeing to convert it to take evod heads? And yes those are it and they do wick quite high unfortunately. However, I believe these carto screw on tubes will come in handy when I start tinkering.
