HH 357 in a Carto Tank

[kwalka]

Inspired by the Caravela drip tank. I just used a center punch and drilled a 1/16" hole. I've gone thru a whole tank. No flooding, no dry hits. Just take a couple primer pulls to feed the juice. I did not fill the tank above the hole.

So it's been a couple days and this is working like a dream...

Pic isn't showing. I'd love to see how this looks, and how it works.

I must of moved the pic. Its literally just an HH 357 Long Barrell in a carto tank with a hole drilled in the HH as high as possible with out getting up in to the top cap of the carto tank. Works like a treat. I used a center punch and I believe a 1/16" metal bit...

If it floods can you blow it out easy enough? Such a good idea

I wonder if I could remove the part where you punch a hole, and just use a sealed 510 extender...unscrew a little and take a unfired pull... I believe the amp tank works in a similar fashion...

If your careful and only fill up to the bottom of the hole, it wont flood (very easily)

There were other threads in the past. We have been trying this as long aas I've been a member here. Longer I'm sure.
Then Caravela released the Latina drip tank. That is where this idea came from. So simple.

I, as well as others have tried bottom fed atty tanks, like the AMP, and they never worked. Some times we came close with a 306 setup but nothing that ever lasted, to my knowledge.

So when you want to "drip" you tilt it sideways?

 

[kwalka]

Yes you can lay it horizontal and turn. Each revolution allows 1 bubble, hence 1 drop of juice. Or you can cover the hole w juice and draw w/o firing. Its actually so simple in design that I felt silly after all the experimenting we did w bottom feeding.

JC West has a vidoe on youtube where he did something similar. He punched holes where the wicking happens. Maybe a little above. Then, put a small rolled mesh plug in the hole to control wicking.

Do you have a link to that video? I looked on YouTube and I couldn't find it

Never mind. Found it, thanks. Hmm... Punch right into the mesh... Interesting... I'll have to try that with a dead 357 first... Wish I had a carto punch lol. First time I've ever said that ha

 

[bzmotoninja83]

Figured Id post it here too for whom ever wanted to see it.

And now of course I'm wondering how to mod this mod... Lol... Steel wool? Instead of a rolled wick? Might be the best juice transfer from tank to the wool like stuff in the atty... And it can be found sans soap on amazon....

Mesh would be easiest. Besides, I assume you have some already?

You know it buddy ha... Carto punch should b here tomorrow, and a tank on Tuesday... Def tring on my dead HH first... If magic happens ill sacrifice my slightly iffy 2 ohm one for a full on test

 

[Sovran]

Why is this any different then any other carto punched in any other tank? Seems like nothing new here. Am I missing something?

Short answer, it's an atomizer- totally different animal. Longer- but still short- answer: have you ever TRIED an hh357? It's like vaping nirvana for quite a few of us. To not have to drip would b awesome for us drivers

 

[MasterofNone]

Success! Not the prettiest thing ever, but it works, pretty much. Next one will feed better. Haven't had to drip in an hour! Wowzer!
