hey all,
I did a little math. I can get 16 55mm tubes or 20 45mm rubes out of my piece.. I am cutting over sized...to compensate for "user error". I think for consistency and to get the most out of it I will only cut either 45mm or 55mm. I wanna help everyone out.....but I am lazy! LOL

Okay... I think there is some confusion.... based on the pm's I got...
I bought a 36in piece of poly, I will cut up and send out to 17 lucky ppl that pay shipping. + 1$... PM with ADDRESS and NAME...TITLE "TUBE"
The other SEPARATE thing is ::::
I am gauging interest for a coop .... This coop will be for G-tank us "TOPS ONLY" in different material. This is so ppl with mods of varying composition can have something that matches more closely.
At this time I have only submitted plans to the shops for the 40mm and 50mm top. I will see what comes of this and if there is enough interest I may add the ego top.
I have already contacted many CNC shops with the plans for Additinal tops for the G-tank with dans permission. Proposed material...
BRASS
Polycarb (ghost) will be one solid piece minus drip tip
Aluminum
Copper
I am currently waiting to hear back from them..... A new coop with soon be born.!
send me pms with the title as the "COOP" + material + quantity...so that I can give some feedback the shops for for pricing.

Ahh my bad. I wouldn't go with brass or copper, there is quite a bit of condensate that builds up in there.
Hehehehehe,
Ok I got my shipment in from Mcmaster-Carr yesterday and made my ghost protocal GTUS. I used 5/8ID x 34OD poly tubing and made the mouth piece adapter out of solid 5/8OD poly rod. I just drilled a 8.7mm hole and cut it 1/4" long then pushed it into the tubing and and sanded it. I did have to heat the bottom of the poly tubing up and reduce the size slightly so the threading would bite. So... here it is:

Wow that looks great, good work Dan the Man.
A quick note about the clear tanks. As I noted previously, I bought some 6cc syringes at Tractor Supply Co. I tried one out for the first time last night and they don't fit. They are too tight (very difficult to get over the washer) and they slide up much worse than the SS tanks ever did. I meant to look at the brand before leaving for work this morning but I forgot. Dan, do you know what brand you have? Mine came in a box of 6 for $1.99.

Dan, clear looks great. Is the vapor hotter that way without the metal cooling it down? Part numbers please?

Could the polytubing be threaded to screw on to the G-Tank-US? It's a slick look.
I know I mention it in the video.... hang on let me look at it.
Ideal Instruments (6ml)
Vapor seems the same to me, maybe a little warmer.
I used a 5/8ID x 3/4OD poly tube from mcmaster-carr. The tube had to be heated and shrinked down in size on the last 1/4" of the tube so it would thread on. Otherwise it just slips on and off.

Here is where I got mine from. They are a tight fit but stay on without any problem.

That looks awesome!!
I bet it kelps keep the vapor warmer too
I still have some tubing left....about 4 pieces...
I will email everyone one they are taken... the "easiest" way to plug the "tube" top is with a syringe plunger.
The "ghost mod coop" top is going to be the exact same dimensions as the 40 and 50mm tops. I have already gotten some feedback from one CNC shop. I expect to here from more next week.
I honestly thought there would be more interest in the "other" material besides polycarb. A reminder the more ppl that get in on this the cheaper it will be for everyone. I will need at least 100 units. I will post pricing as it comes in and we can go from there.
That said. After seeing Dan's poly setup, it might be cheaper to just do that. would someone be interested in cutting and drilling a few dozen top caps....
USP plastics has 5/8 rods for 14$ shipped, but if I am reading it right on the site...it is sold in 4 foot sections.

For those interested I have been working with a company to get a quote on 5/8OD x 8.7mmID x 3/8" Thick spacers made out of polycarbonate. Here is the first quote for a qty of 100, but it is in nylon. They are working on the poly quote now.
Daniel,
Hello there, thank you for your inquiry!! I have provided pricing and availability below for Nylon material, I see you selected polycarbonate material, I'm wondering if maybe nylon will work for you?
