Great 'How To'!
I recently received a SST and am gonna drill a detent in the middle of the underside of the cradle for the bolt tip. That way it's 'automatically' centered/aligned.

Hmm, that's a cool idea, time to head to the drill press.
The thread is probably slowing down because every new innovation somehow winds up being commercialized and someone you never heard of makes a buck on it. You might say that modders are the protypers for commercial products. It almost makes you want to NOT share your new developments. Example: the new Boge DC tank (I know a guy on the bleeding edge of this one), it's not so much fun developing and sharing something cool when a company takes your idea and sells it for 12 bucks. It's kinda disheartening.
Everything people post on the Internet is there forever and can be Googled.
It's one thing to make something cool for yourself and friends, it's something else entirely to see some vendor selling a product that you developed just for the fun of it.
Still, when you come up with something cool, it's just human nature to share it with others. I do it, I know you do too.
Well, that's my 2 cents anyway. OK, I'll shut up now.

Yep, I agree with you asnider. I've seen some of your mods, pretty cool stuff. It's nice to see someone making somthing cool, and useful, then sharing it.
Some of the above thoughts have crossed my mind...
BUT, let's face it. How many of us are willing to take our 'innovations'/improvements to the retail level? There's a lot of time, effort, money and consumer issues to deal with. That's why I truly admire those in the vaping genre that garage develop/improve an idea and sacrifice their time, taking a chance, while still holding down a steady job and still providing for their families!
Yes, it can be irritating to see a 'simple' homemade improvement being incorporated commercially by others and advertised as the 'latest & greatest'. But if ya don't get into the 'game', whose fault is that?
What I REALLY like... how the price$ for carto tanks have plummeted within the past, what, three months? That's a huge plu$ for the vaping community and future vapers.
As for me, I'm just tickled when I can improve sumpin' and pass it on; kind of a thankful payback!

Pardon my dumbness - what's an SST?
If I knew that maybe I'd understand "...drilling a detent...".
Very true, Iffy, I really think that threads such as this, in which members have discussed their homebrew tank mods, has gotten the attention of the "big boys" and has really driven the price of tanks down. This is good for the end-user: a tank that used to cost 30 bucks is now down to 10. Unbelievable!!!
I am not griping about modders using each other's ideas to produce their own products, in fact I am not really complaining at all, it just seems that a lot of the R&D is done by groups like this, only to find that some manufacturer takes their product and mass-produces it. Just an observation really.
It's just that some of my modder friends are starting to re-think the whole idea of showing every detail of their innovative products on forums. If it's something good, some company somewhere will soon be marketing it.
So it's a double-edged sword, ingenuity drives improvement which leads to profit by a third party. So I will just sit and vape the weekend away with my Titanic Tank Mod while it's still unique. LOL

A question for "ricks".
I just got a couple DCT tanks on sale. I believe you cut one down w/ a pipe cutter to size for a standard carto length. Has that worked out OK for you? Any issues with the carto slipping without havin the end flange.
I'm liking the dual coil with some of my tobacco and coffee flavors - but no so much with minty fruit flavors - so I'm thinking about cutting down one of the DCT tanks to use with standard carto's.

It works great, I love the Boges in it and it does not slide easy at all. I can pick up my Provari from the tank without it moving.
Black Friday deals hit perfectly with my need to restock on cartomizers, so I also figured I'd pick up some Boge 3.0's to give another go. I've been using two of them with two different juices for about a week now. I started immediately by creating slightly larger holes to compensate for the fact that the Boge's have more filler material than the Smoktech's, and so far, they've been performing great.
Cool Build, but you don't have to use a syringe to fill that thing, he thought of it all but that... The ones I make you don't have to use a syringe, and they have rubber caps also...
I broke down and made one - Thanks to Turkey Day !
I had two left over Tony Chacher's Turkey Injectors left over from Thanksgiving. I used a clear dual coil carto.
Picture of the syringe: http://www.scottrobertsweb.com/images/tony-chacheres-injectables-butter-and-jalapeno-marinade-2.jpg
( dont know if the pic works, if not click on it)
I filled up the inner carto first then added about 3 mls to the outer tube. All together I have used about 6 ML according to my JuiceMeUp calculator. ( thats the amount I mixed and I used all of it. ) It looks like full this thing will hold about 10 Ml's of juice.
This clear dual coil works good for my 5v Old Goat mod (after I shaved down the atty connector lip) but it gets too hot for my liking.. That's why I used the dual coil, I had it lying around because I wont use them anymore. It was the only carto I had. I prefer CE2's and want to make another one with a Bauway CE2 when I can order some.
This thing is HUGE and obnoxious looking on my 5v box mod.. to me anyway. My cut tube is just a lil over 2 inches long. I'm sure to get looks at Wal-Mart now. LOL
The Tony Chacher's Turkey Injector parts worked well but it's a lil flimsy putting it together and an Royal PITA getting it together just right. I had to use the syringe to fill like the guy in the video. However after it's all together it does not leak.

Good to see you back skeeter. I hope it continues to go well for you. Just keep the positive attitude.
I've done a few syringe tanks in the last few months, but I made my biggest one so far for my latest box mod, The Long Weekend. It was a 35cc syringe and when it and the 1.7 are filled it holds a full 10 mL of juice.
AT last, finally, in case you have been waiting for an expensive carto punch. here it is....
COV Carto Punch
COV Carto Punch
That should work very good and if I went into production I would buy one. For me I will stick with my Saddle Valve it does the same thing and much cheaper to buy.
