I am using the resurrectors S.S. 1.7ohm on a E-power 14650. If I put 2 holes in it from the saddle valve it starts flooding after awhile and I blow it out and works good for a while and then starts the flooding again. With ONE hole it does not flood at all. I turn the SV all the way until it stops, when punching the hole. I am a very heavy vaporer, and the one I have now The Resurrectors is now 11 days in the tank and have ran about 50ml thru it so far, I can't believe it myself because, I usually burn one up in 2 days or so. These tanks are great. I think any carto will do well in the tank, but I do think if a hole/slot, is to big, or to many holes will cause flooding. Try and put one hole in the carto and see how it acts, then put 2 holes and see how that works this is the way to learn what works for you. HAPPY vaping to all.

There's one already built in... filler material! Dem air holes are pretty small too. If ya clog those... time to get outta Dodge!
Dust is very fine. The point is to prevent it getting to the filler where it will clog up the wicking, or it can get ashed on the heater coil. A lot of air goes through these cartos.
My theory has been that the filler starts to get sticky and stiff with all the juice that has run through it. According to my theory this can either cause the cartos to quit wicking as well because they are clogged up) OR can cause them to leak (because they sometimes kind of shrink up a little and pull away from the sides of the carto.
See, isn't that convenient how my theory explains BOTH leaking and not-wicking?!?
Yes, both from dry deposits in the e-liquid (which shouldn't really be in there), and dust from the air.
Yup. Got clear drip tip too and the stuff's either gotta be going in my mouth or back in the tank
I just dumped the tank and made up a batch of juice without the distilled water - it's crackling the way it should now, seems to be wicking properly and it's not gurgling, so I'm gonna run this tank empty and see for sure but I think my juice might have been a little too thin and the condensation just thinned it out enough it wouldn't wick properly. Guess we'll see
Water, beyong a very minimal point, seems to be bad for wicking; maybe the greater surface tension.
I have a question. Pls bear with me if this is thought to be a stupid question. I just am trying to understand ... I don't have any carto's for my homemade tank, only fluxomizers from got vapes, both ss and colored. I have seen the video where the guy put 3 holes in the tube. I don't understand why the necessity for 3 holes. Why would it be any different than a carto? As long as the wicks are being kept wet it shouldn't be a problem, correct? My other question would be more like a map tank ~ If I cut enough length to cover the cup and support it and have room for a drip tip wouldn't that work also? I know how to cut the bottom to fit as I have a map tank. I'm just trying to figure out for the top end cap.
I have a saddle valve, pipe cutter, 20ml syringes and ce2's. I'm hoping that I can make some good tanks w/this.. Thanks for your help and input !!

No question is a stupid question. To me your stupid if you don't ask questions if you don't understand something. I learned that after I got out of school and wished I had learned that earlier. You might try only one hole in the cartomizers and If it doesn't work good then try 2. What I have experienced is with more or bigger holes it floods a regular cartomizer. Try one hole and make more if needed, If you have more you can't take take them away.LOL You may need more holes in a CE2/clearomizer to keep it flooded like they normally are. Have not tried them yet, so don't know about them.I have a question. Pls bear with me if this is thought to be a stupid question. I just am trying to understand

Ended up pitching the carto when the thicker juice started flooding too. We'll see how the new one works.
If one hole isn't enough for ya, get a second one? Glad I know what we're talking about here.....
With this type of tank and using a ce2 you want to keep the tube in one piece. If you cut the middle out, like the map tanks, it will be unstable.
I use a dremel with this type setup.( I make them for someone else that dose not cartos.) I just cut a slit in the bottom and a small slit in the top. She has not had a problem yet and she has two going strong.
Now cartos are a complete different story.

May I respectfully say that I think you're over thinking a non-issue? How far will a micro speck of dust travel through joose saturated filler fibers?
The absolutely worst case is that your draw tightens. The joose 'residue' will more likely clog the filler/coat the coil before the dust that you normally inhale breathing without a PV stuck to the mouth.
Just today, I replaced a carto, for the second time, holding my darkest/thickest joose due to hard draws. On the other hand, I'm still using my original syringe carto tank with my lighter DIY Iffy's Peach after a month. It still sizzles and hits like a champ!

I am going on the same carto in my syringe tank for 11 days, and about 50ml juice ran thew it, and I chain vape, so I don't think dust is a problem or it would have plugged long ago. I think most carto problems is burning the diaper because its hard to keep a regular carto moist all the time. This is just my opinion.
The air doesnt pass through the filler fibres, but it will stick on the airway through the center of.
Maybe it's a non-issue, but I think it will add up over time. Plus it can reach he coil. So for top-performance it would be good, but might not be noticeable for a week or so. Of course, a bad juice will do much more damage quicker.
Of course, that's why we worked on the tank. That was the biggie, for sure, but I'm looking beyond now - the next improvement ...
Ever noticed the burning dust from a fan heater?

Ok, another idea ...
Install a dynamo with Archimedes-style drive fan into the airflow; use the power generated to top up the battery

A fan heater draws 1000 times as much air as my vaping thru a carto does. With the carto you might get some microscopic dust in it but the carto I would think, would quit working before dust would effect it. Unless less you work in a area where your sanding sheet rock of sawing wood or anywhere you should use a face mask and it would be hard to vape under a face mask.LOL
I'm just not a 'that'll do' person. I always strive for better.
It's a minor issue, compared say to the average e-liquid laden with non-vaporisable additives, but still worth looking at.

That is not in any doubt, but that's pretty much solved with a tank.

I was thinking about the lip that a carto listed earlier had to act as a rest for a tank, and was thinking...what if you had a small enough washer (may have to drill it out a little bit to fit whatever size carto), do you think JBWeld would be able to secure it to the carto?
Well, since I gave up on the saddle valve for punching I decided to just buy a dremel if I was going to be doing slots. Wow! What a difference from my drill. I had been using a drill with a rechargable battery and the battery is old and weak. I was having to recharge it after doing just one slot and it took a long time to drill. The dremel kicks out a slot in about a second. Vroom!
Now, I need to find other things to do with my dremel so I can tell DH that I didn't just buy it to drill slots in cartos. LOL.
Oh, it was pretty cheap though.
