Oh, the 20 ml will probably be easier if you can fit your carto all the way into the hole that's already in the back side of the rubber piece. Less rubber to punch through.
I think you may be right about the 20ml, I guess I will find out. I do think the mod is a neat idea and will keep trying.

I actually remembered that when I responded to your post, but I didn't want to rub it in too much, LOL. And you were right, I'm dang smart for a girl! :)

They're cheap, have fun working this out. Remember, time is never wasted, as long as we are learning something new or having fun!

I'm the one that said in another reply to you that (you are pretty smart for a girl) Now I really feel dumb. LOL I tried this on a 12mm syringe that I thought would be a neat size and to practice on. Maybe the 20ml will cut better, The 12ml was very thick. The ones I have are called 12mg and 20mg luer slip without needle Disposable Syringe and I think sold or made by Allison Medical, Inc. I bought them from a farm supply. I just hate to ruin to many before I get it right.

I think you are right, I just now checked my 20ml plungers and they are allot thinner the 12ml I was using because of the hole in it to start with, and 12ml is as thick as the 20ml but the hole needed to be punched through the complete piece something like a solid 1/4 inch because it doesn't have a wide hole like the 20ml. So I will be working on the 20ml after mowing the lawn, trimming and sweeping, and some other fun stuff. LOL

Let us know how you make out with the 20ml syringe.

Hi everyone,

I just got one of these today, and I am having problems with the juice leaking out of the bottom of the cartomizer, as well as the juice flowing into my mouth when I pull (the cartomizer acts as if it is flooded). The tank has a filler port so I simply poured juice in the filler port, recapped the port and had it set for a few moments. Am I filling it wrong? Why is juice leaking out of the threaded end of the cartomizer and why does it seem like the juice is coming directly up the center air tube when I pull? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am an absolute newb with tanks. Thanks so much!

You have to pull gently, maybe to start with. Let the liquid drip into a bottle until it stops. It should stop.

put your carto in a drill and drill the hole

Also, if you keep a designated carto shell for this, you can put it in the drill, start it spinning, and hold it at an angle against something rough to sharpen it... I used a grindstone but concrete should do the trick too.

Something I have wondered about with the tanks is, do you fill the cartomizer first then fill the tank, or just fill the tank? Also what keeps it from flooding like when you put to much juice in a carto ?

Just the tank. I don't know why it doesn't flood when you fill the tank, but I do know it does flood (for me) if I fill the cartomizer.

Hi, again. Fill the tank with the syringe first, upside down, you know that, right. Remove the syringe. I read somewhere to drop 6 drops into the top filler. Put your drip tip on, put it on your pv, and vape. It should start wicking nicely.
