Anybody figure out a more permanent solution for the sliding o-ring problem with the metal tanks? It's driving me crazy! Dry o-ring, twist as you put the tank on, don't overfill. . . I've tried all these and I'm darn sure trying to avoid using a plastic bottle or syringe instead of the metal tanks, but this is about ridiculous. Did anyone try a different size o-ring? Which size? I saw it mentioned as a possibility but never read if someone tried it or not. I sure can't wait for the Ghost Protocol coop to get done. Until then, I may have to shelve this amazing tank (amazing when it works anyways). Sorry for the rant, it's just mighty frustrating that it won't do what I want it to, lol.
You could just do what I do and fill the tank with a syringe by unscrewing it from the middle section and injecting the juice through the hole the wick goes into. When it's full, you'll see the juice well up past the needle, back off a bit, put it back together and vape till it runs dry again. Repeat till you get nic overdose, go to bed then start all over again in the morning, lol
that's a durn good idea! Now I just have to figure out how to get it stay put long enough to do it. Just when I think it's stable, it starts creepin up on one side. How'd you get it to stay the first time? Every once in a while I can get it to stick, but it's a fight just about every fill up for the most part. Thanks for the advice though.
I put three dabs of hot glue on top of each tank and let it dry, now I just fill the tank leave it upside down in the sleeve and screw the bottom on. The three dabs of glue push the tank up over the O ring and holds the tank firmly. Just small dabs in a triangular spacing leaving plenty of free space for air flow.
Before putting the glue I was about ready to throw it away, the few times I got it to stay with just a small bump like setting my mod down on my desk would make it pop off. Got tired of cleaning up the mess. The glue dabs work well, they do fall off after many uses and I just redo them.

not sure why dan didn't send the tanks back as well to have them cut straight and not tapered at the end . I have seen the ems files for the tanks and tops there is no taper that I could see

So I was rumaging around this weekend and I recieved the B style T-Tanks and silicone caps in on Friday.
Since I found one T-Tank top that did not get sent in I decided to test how well the silicone caps would seal And how well it would work.
I unscrewed the mid bottom piece and used it to puncture the silicone, it knocked out the seal perfectly, and as you can see it seals well.
The T-Tank top had to be rethreaded to fit correctly and as you can see it turned in the lathe during the rethreading process producing a gouge.
But after running through 5 refills this week enad and 2 this morning it is working better than I hoped.
Well good new for those wanting this option

Awesome, as this was my intention from the start!!!!! I have two packs of the tanks, I just need to find the silicone caps...
EDIT: Cheapest I have found so far: http://www.smokepower.com/5-silicone-caps-for-ego-tank-cartridge/

Hey Dan considering you are another Dan, you must be so smart and organized (cause someone had to get the organization skill that was meant for me) do you happen to have links to the other genesis projects that you have seen, if so could you send them to me
I do not, not with out searching all over again
BTW I think I have a fix for the tank staying, I tested different o-rings and going down one size seems to hold the tank more securly and stops the creep. I used a 7/16OD x 5/16ID oring from lowes, can't remember the number.

this one from Lowes:
Danco 5/16" x 7/16" x 1/16" Rubber Faucet O-Ring
Item #: 198966 | Model #: 96723

I figured Dan would come through! Thanks Dan! The t-tank top looks pretty sweet and seems to shorten the overall height quite a bit. I'm really looking forward to trying it. Keep up the awesome!
I don't know if Lowes uses a different numbering system, or if my local hardware is the different one, but the Danco stock number at my local ACE Hardware for the o-ring with those measurements is: 35723
It is also called a #6 o-ring
Looks to me, then, that Danco's internal number is 723 and the prefix 65 is used for those sold to Lowes while the prefix 35 is used for those sold to ACE affiliates.
Maybe.
