I just got one built this morning. Very easy and works perfectly. And for the $2.50 it costs it cannot be beat.

I really messed up today, I bought 4- 35ml syringes and when I got home I thought man these look big, and went back and read the first post and seen it should be 20ml syringes. O well tomorrow back to the strore for a refund and hopfully the have the 20 ml.
I dunno. If the were also around $2.70 for 4, you might try a cheap experiment to make a "phat tank". 5.5mL Phat
ok just finished mine I use a 2 10ml sygringes it was all I had and I didn't have any of the right tools it was tough but I got through it, the hardest part was getting the ends on with the carto in it. it works surprisingly well I think I got 3.5ml ish of juice in there and he's so cute my little cheapo mini tank mod Thanks OP and Dave
You can use 'em,I made one back in january out of 2-60ml syringes,holds at least 20ml,but it is way fat so I don't use it.
20ml is just right,matches or almost matches most mods.
Thanks for the information. Wow I can't imagine a 60ml tank, and I can believe its WAY FAT.LOL I'm pretty sure they will take these back because they are still in the wrappers and I will get the 20ml.
Just a note: I bought a Ratcheting PVC cutter yesterday but have not cut a syringe yet, I did cut a hose and a small PVC pipe and a clear tubing and it works great, clean cut and no burrs so I hope it works as well on a syringe. Either way I always wanted one of those, now I have a reason. LOL

I will try a 10ml syringe also just to see what its like compared to the 20ml.ok just finished mine I use a 2 10ml sygringes it was all I had and I didn't have any of the right tools it was tough but I got through it, the hardest part was getting the ends on with the carto in it. it works surprisingly well I think I got 3.5ml ish of juice in there and he's so cute my little cheapo mini tank mod Thanks OP and Dave
If you haven't returned them already, do you happen to know roughly what outer diameter of the 35mls is? If it's no bigger than the SB I might give those a shot
Okay... I went to tractor supply this morning and got 4 20 ml syringes and a small pipe cutter. I got a syringe trimmed off nicely (easier than I thought it would be), but my 4 year old is home now, so the tinkering has to stop till tomorrow.
Could you use a drill to drill a hole in the rubber syringe plungers, or is busting through it with a hammer and a dead carto a lot easier than I am imagining it will be? I also want to make a hole in the plastic to put a fill hole in. What I'm thinking of doing is putting the tube over a wooden dowel and just drilling through with a drill. Think it will work, or have a better suggestion?

I prefer the 10ml syringes. My tanks I make with those still hold 3ml.
If you take a steel carto tube and put it on a belt sander and sharpen the edges real sharp by turning it while the belt is going this will make for a perfect punch and go right threw the rubber plungers.
If I had a belt sander that would work out perfectly!
ETA: Oh... a leather punch might work. Might have to look at Joanne's.

Missed your comment, sorry. Okay, so maybe I making this harder than it needs to be. I should try this before I go off buying more crap.
It goes right through.
Put the rubber piece on something hard. Put an old carto in it and one wack with a hammer will make a perfect hole. Very easy.
Just curious, what brand of syringe are you using? I'm wondering if it different. Also, what kind of juice was it that got the rubbery taste? Grabbing at straws here...
Thank you for this idea! I don't have much strength in my hands/fingers and it took me MANY whacks with the hammer to punch through. This will work great!
