Homemade syringe tank mod, looks easy!

In this picture, does the hole go through the carto as well or no????

I had some wicking problems with one that I made (small slot, not quite big enough). I covered the bottom of the carto and sucked on the top, just to get the juice flowing into the filler. After it got started, it wicked fine.

I partially figured out a fill hole. I used a belt hole puncher to make a small hole in the syringe and a rubber earring back with a headpin stuck in the hole (both of which I had for jewelery making). It seals very tight, problem is the hole is really small and I have to fill it with a syringe. I guess it's a little easier than pushing the needle through the rubber gasket, but I still have to use the syringe. Back to the drawing board.

Sorry, I tried sizing these pictures smaller, but for some reason they are coming out huge!

ETA Oh, now they are smaller. Whatever...

No, just the syringe body for filling the 'tank'.

 

[Spazmelda]

Right, just through the tank for filling. I'm putting them closer to the top now because it makes them easier to fill.

Here is the one I made using the plug out of the 510 round blank cartridge.Its on my GO GO battery.

Will the endcaps from a liquinator work on this tank?

Looks like you could make that tank sooooo much longer to hold more juice

I would say probably not. These tanks are just syringes. We use the plungers that come with the syringes as they're made to fit the syringe. I'm sure the caps for the liquinator tanks are probably made to fit whatever plastic tubes the person making them wanted to use. It's so much easier to just use the plungers, not sure why you'd want to use a lid that's known to be illfitting and leaky anyway?

I think I'll stick with the larger hole as I really don't like the idea of having an actual syringe in my house. If I'm going to put a hole in my tank, it's gonna need to be large enough for me to fit my bottle nose in it

I actually use blunt end needles. I already had a bunch of them around for some pottery stuff I do. I can understand not wanting sharps around the house.

I've seen a case where a grandmother raising her grandkids properly because her kids were problem children got the kids taken away (due to what I don't know), but they claimed her e-cig was a device for illegal substances. I should never get into that kind of situation as my only run-ins with the law have been 1 speeding ticket 8 years ago, but I'd rather feel safe than sorry.

We have a cat that we have to hydrate everyday with a needle and fluid out of a bag and I'm scared to death of that needle, gotten myself too many times.

 

[Spazmelda]

I understand. Here's another option, if you find that you ever do need some sort of thing like this (forgot about these)... tapered plastic dispensing tips: Dispensing Needles, Blunt, Stainless Steel, Tapered & Applicator TIps, Industrial, Luer Lock

They fit on a locking or slip syringes.

OK I made some syringe tanks,but the rubber was awful..they were BD I believe..I ended up getting some polycarb tubing,8ft.and the rubber grommet trick,works great,now trying to figure out how to refill without a syringe..

As far as punching a hole in a carto,use a deck screw or similar screw to punch through your carto..it goes through like butter,those screw tips are very sharp..I saw it in a video somewhere...Oh,and tape down the carto to hold it still..

To the person wondering about the polycarb tube/ grommets,.its on page 2or4 not further than 10 pages in..

 

[Spazmelda]

I would like to find some rigid polyprop tubing rather than polycarb.

PVC Static Mixers, Clear Static Mixers | Koflo Corporation I found that, for some reason that looks like a really cool e-cig mod lol

Waaaay too RI¢H for my vaping!!!

 

[GIMike]

and considering the smallest one is 7" long by 1" diameter, it'd make a pretty massive and probably super heavy mod...would look cool if they made it about 10 times smaller

I made it! I used a 10ml syringe, with the thinner end caps, because that's all I have right now, but it seems to work great! No leaking so far. I didn't have a 20 guage needle so I filled it by lifting the rubber edge, and using a blunt nosed syringe. Looks pretty cool on my Hello 016!!! It holds 3ml, and I'm still planning on getting the 20ml syringes, but it will still eliminate some refilling of the cartos...YAY!

Thats great, It makes these carts work sooo good. And last longer.

Seems like I have heard that before.
I use silicone tho.

If you pop out the mouth piece plug on 510 blank cartridge they work just fine.Just place a little superglue gel in the little air hole in the center of it.I use JB Weld putty just a very tiny amount.No break down of any kind and works perfect.Just drill your hole in your tube to where the plug has to be forced just a little and its good to go.Make sure its the round and not the flat cartridges.

Shop Watts 1/4" Brass Self-Tapping Saddle Valve at Lowes.com

OK, got one and tested on three cartos. Awesome penetration. A lil' 'busy' in setting up the carto in it the 'clamp' at the proper location. Since I like the holes very near to the plunger plug, I may make a wooden base jig with a marked location index.

Caution for those that try this tool: Insure that the carto is directly under the tip. Otherwise the tip will tend to 'wander' down the carto side.

Hint: Ya might want to get thumb screws to replace the phillip/common headed ones.

Would I get one if only making several syringe tanks, no. But I plan to make some extra tanks for friends and the PIF/TC. So for me at less than $7, it's a go!
