Godzillamizer V3

Hi there, Alan here.

Been waiting for weeks to get all the parts together to make another tank, this time based on Breaktru's Dual-Coil tank design, but using an XL CE2 Clearo.

I started out with 3/4" thick wall poly tubing, cut a 1.5" length. I then drilled several tiny holes in my Clearo, a half dozen toward the bottom and a couple about 1/2 way up (to avoid a vacuum).


Next I assembled the unit, using the 3/4" tubing, the CE2XL, and two Danco size 1/2 flat spigot washers. They measure 3/4" dia x 1/8" thick. I drilled out the center holes in the washers to tightly fit the CE2


You can fill the tank by sliding a tiny needle (22 ga I think) between the top seal and the poly tubing as shown


Here is the tank with 6ml of USA Mix (two syringes full, all I had of this flavor) .. looks like it would probably accept a couple more ML .. looks great on my GGTB, doesn't it ??


Let's try it out .. not bad at all


Now let's try it at 5v .. WOW!!!! Mucho Vapero Muchacho!!!!


This sucker just doesn't leak at all


Thank you Breaktru and Gummy and all you other tank makers, you have done great things for the vaping world!!

Those Danco washers really worked out well Alan. It's great the way they seal that you can turn it upside down. Nice to lay them down without worrying about leakage.
I have 4 washer versions and they all work great on the Dual Cartos. Glad the clearo tube can withstand the washer pressure.
Looks really nice. These things are great. Beats paying for tanks. I see you went with the 1/2" washers. Nice fit huh? The 1/2L's took a bit of effort getting them in after the carto was pushed through.
Do you think the needle may score the seal?

Hi Breaktru, thanks for the great info that helped me put this together!!

I used the 1/2 size for the first one. I will try the 1/2L for the next. Man, those were expensive, went to our local Ace and they were 79 cents for ONE washer, so I bought a pair of each just to experiment with. Next time we make it to Lowes I am gonna stock up, they sell them for less than 2 bucks / 10 of them.

I was concerned about the CE2 clearo cracking, so I made my hole just "a tiny bit" tight, not what I would have liked to do. The next one will have 1/2L washers, so I will make the CE2 fit nicely, the extra 1/32 inch will close up the hole. Should I use the metal washers on the 1/2L?

The tank has been laying on it's side for over an hour, no signs of leaking, guess I musta got it right

Needle: I went to Walmart Pharmacy and got a 3ml hypodermic with the smallest needle they had, something like 22.5 ga .. it's really tiny!!! Slides between the washer and the poly tube smoothly, doesn't seem that it is causing any trouble. Since I am still unsure of the 1/2 washers, I figured syringe filling would be best. I guess time will tell

I made a http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/modding-forum/203540-cheapo-gummy-tank.html, same concept. I replaced the CE2 tubing with 3mL syringe barrel and drilled holes into this; it's much sturdier than the CE2 tubing. I also refill the tank through the CE2 fill holes in the cup seal. Have been using this for the past month.

Awesome work again, Alan! (I'm still waiting for the Grand Opening of the Snider Mod Museum, Alan )

Please explain .. is the 3ml syringe the INNER or OUTER tube? I love using a 3ml syringe mod, never tried adding a tank to it??? Good idea!

Oh, forgot, I also made a metal cover for it, look tacky sucking on a hypo

A BD 3mL syringe barrel, what the plunger fits into, is the same ID as the clearomizer CE2 tube. Just cut the ends off the barrel so that it is the same length as the original clearomizer tube. The markings on the syringe can be wiped off with isopropanol or acetone. Placing something solid, i.e. wooden dowel, that just fits inside the syringe make cutting with a tubing cutter very easy.

tubing cutter, cool! I used my dremel and it didn't do a very straight cut. I will try your method next time. Yes, the 3ml BD provides a perfect seal for the CE2 with the tube removed. Isn't that great? And Walmart pharmacy sells them for a quater a piece. Almost a shame not to do it!!!

 

[brewsterfrank]

very nice alan. looks better than my cheapo, that's for sure. i have switched over to using dual coils, but the good thing with tanks like this is they any-carto-friendly.

<<still using my Cheapo and lovin' it. Actually made a few.>>

13 days on the leak test and counting .. still tite seals .. this design is wonderful! Lots of draw, lots of juice, no leaks, no drips, no mess .. WOW!! Gotta get me more of those #1/2 seals!!!!!! Got lots of CE2-XL's to mod

 

[asnider123]

19 days, no leaks even though I had to replace the CE2 XL guts, burnt out the first one with too much voltage LOL (no leaking even when pulling out the old element and replacing, about 1/2 full, layed on side, pulled out old atty, pushed in new one, seated silicone seal, Bob's your uncle)

But .. now the G3 is incognito LOL I had a dollar store 3-aaa FL that I messed up trying to mod. However, discovered that the tube was exactly the right size to act as a hood for the G3's Poly tubing. Cut the FL, slid it on, instant knurled tank cover (nice fit too!!). I know, it's red! However, now that I have this knowledge, I will be buying a few silver dollar tree FL's just to make tank clothing HAHAHA

Hey Alan I have a question for you. I got a pack of 2.6ohm (I think) CE2 xl clearos and I don't care for them. I have tried them from 3.5v-6v(I know not a good idea lol) but it always tastes burnt :/ seems like a wicking problem to me atleast. Usually the first half of a hit is great but then it can't wick fast enough for a consistant vape, unless I tip the carto to my mouth and take a drop on the tounge xD. Have you had any experience with this?

I have only recently started buying different cartos from the kr808 I started on. Have 4 different cartomizers/clearos from ikenvape coming in today, maybe its just the ones I got..

 

[asnider123]

Lazrah, the first CE2's we bought from Madvapes (v3 I think) had 2 loops of wick drooping down into the liquid. Lots of people had probs with wicking, there were all kinds of "fixes" on forums, etc. People said that high-VG juices didn't wick well. Others said ou need to remove the silicone seal, it restricted the wicking. I, in fact, did make a couple of 3ml syringemods where I didn't use the silicone seal at all. It worked great, but you couldn't lay the unit down on the table or it would flood the coil and drip out the top.

They came out with an "improved" CE2 (v4, I believe) that had a major improvement ... instead of loops of wick material, they replaced it with "braided wick" (not really braided, but quite sizeable wicking rope) dripping clear down to the atty connector. Muck improved wicking!

Perhaps your prob is too much VG in your juice. Have you tried a PG-only juice? PG is much thinner (watery) and should wick much better. Or get yourself a couple of new model ones and try again before you give up altogether.

For me, the CE2 gives me the opportunity to build cool tanks that work fine! I am sitting here vaping my latest G3 rev 2 (added syringe mod inside tank). Some people just don't like the CE2 though! You should give the dual-coil cartos a try, many people swear by them. I will have to check them out once I have exhausted my stock of CE2's

 

[TomCatt]

@Lazrah: Sometimes with the CE2s the silicone cup seal isn't seated correctly. Check to make sure the slots cut in it are aligned with the wicks. Also, check if the cup seal is pinching the wicks, you can use a paperclip to pull the seal up a little bit to relieve any pinching of the wick.
And if you do get the CE2s working for you, don't forget that 3mL BD syringes make excellent replacements for the clearo tubes. I've been using the clearos since about May and still have a box left from the 3 boxes that I've bought.

 

[asnider123]

Dejavu ... we had this very discussion last nite on Sweet-Vapors.com .. here is the post, thought you may enjoy it

==========================

Can you find your CE2 mod instructions? I have some and hate them. At least if I mess with them and it improves them, I won't feel like it is a loss

Are they clearomizers? What version?

I'll look around but in the mean time, do you have a walmart near you? You need to pick up a buck's worth of 3ml syringes in the pharmacy (25 cents each). Get BD brand if possible.

Take the needle and plunger and set them aside. Don't stick yourself.

Now, take your new clearomizer (too messy to do used ones) and screw a 510 extension to it. Now, holding the extension and the CE2 barrel, wiggle gently, you will notice some play at the atty connector. There's a little O-ring holding it together. Now wiggle and pull a bit, you will remove the guts from the CE2 tube.

Now remove the two silicone seals left in the tube with a bent paper clip. Keep them, you may reuse.

At this point you can just push the CE2 guts into the hole where the plunger came out. Wiggle as you push and the atty connector will seal perfectly into the hole. You now have a CE2 Carburetor, the coolest vape you'll ever experience, because your lips are far away from the heater coil

You can leave the finger tabs on (below) or trim them off as in the above pic

You can also use a tube to cover the syringe, making a MEGA XXXXL CE2 Mod

You fill it by using another syringe and dripping eliquid down the side of the mod, don't squirt it straight in, you will flood it. Don't fill it clear up, only fill the reservoir up to the bottom of that black section. Still, it will hold over 1.5ml of juice and will vape like a SOG.

You can leave the needle end as-is, it has a hole large enough to vape and I kinda like the mouthpiece. If you want to use a whistletip or driptip, use your dremel and cut the tubing down before you put in your CE2 guts. A 510 driptip will fit into the cut tube. Cut it too short and you will have the "hot lips" CE2 syndrome.

If you trim the tip off and you can reach into it, you should replace the silicone seal (the one with the notches cut in it) over the coil cup, seating it with a pencil eraser or other small tool, not pushing it down too far, just enough to keep it from leaking. Push it down too far and it will pinch the wicks, making it not wick fast enough.

If you leave it without the silicone seal, don't lay it down, it will leak. But it will vape really nice!!
