Anyone know if these are type B TGO mouthpieces/cartridges?
Tank for TGo (Mouthpiece)

I think those are the type-A tanks that hold 1.5ml. The type-B tanks hold about 2ml. I found some here for pretty cheap. They have the silicon caps too, here.

Thanks. I was placing an order from Apollo and saw those and wasn't sure if they were type B.

Dan what about skeletonizing the top?.....problem would be tooling cost!? It ets fairly intricate.

How about CARBONFIBER????,....oooohhhh!

+1 I am always impressed by the drive and commitment Dan has. Add to that, he has a full time job and a family and I really don't know how he finds the time to do the innovative things he does with PVs. No sooner does he get through (mostly anyway, lol) a large co-op with another already slated then he comes out with yet another PV that looks like it will be another epic co-op. Amazing really doesn't even begin to describe him.

 

[Youssefa]

what coop is already slated ?...the BFG?

I don't know about everyone else but I am partial to the genesis with the tank on the bottom . the a vapor has more warmth when it gets to your mouth .

Looks like it might be heat shrink tubing ;-)


Love that name, Dan. Seeing that last picture I totally get the name

I may misunderstand you, but wouldn't the vapor be warmer w/ the coil on the top?

The red stuff is heat shrink around the pos post.

I am amazed, Dan posts a picture of a prototype that hasn't been tested yet (granted it looks spectacular) and people are already begging to get on a list.

I guess that is one of the obstacles of trying to develop something everyone wants. Seriously if you want a high temp extreme beta environment send me one for the summer, 70 in the AC upto 120 outside, nearly 100% humidity.

I do want to make myself the g-tanks, I am not pointing out the troubles, which I am impressed how you handled by the way, I want to know if I order from them will I have problems, too. Ok not really a 1 off, I want to make multiple bottoms so each top has it's own. So, I am seriously asking if you were going to do a run off all of it, would you EMS or would you recommend someone else?

I would use them again, but I would add more user comments to ensure a few things are understood.

I've tried heat shrink on my 'cheap line' and it doesn't stand up well... pretty at first then gets toasty and hard. McMaster-Carr has NSF high temp tube (see link) down to 1/8th OD and up meeting food handling standards. I'm ordering some 1/16" and 3/32" ID to try out.


High-Temp NSF-51 Silicone Rubber Tubing 1/16" ID, 1/8" OD, 1/32" Wall, Translucent, 10'L, $5.10 Each .

I've been using FDA 60 duro silicone, but it's tricky to work with, especially making tube and gasket... a lot of waste -- hoping the tube will be easier to work. I'm thinking the 1/16" ID tube will fit my m1 SS screws. Should know next weekend.

That tubing is only good to 392 degrees, I am using PTFE heat shrink good to 650 degrees. I also have PTFE hard tubing that is good to 500 degrees.
