Homemade syringe tank mod, looks easy!

[Chopper71]

You don't need to drill the rubber stoppers at all.Just take an old carto put the rubber stopper with the hole side down on the top of the carto and tap it down with a hammer a few times.It will punch right thru the stopper.A perfect hole every time.

I thin they are talking about putting a small hole in the tank to refill,not punch holes in the rubber stoppers

I have an antique 10cc glass syringe that I would love to use. Anybody have any ideas on cutting it?
...or any reason not to use glass?

Yep, you drop it and it's over Would look nice though, I can see it on a steampunk mod! Especially if used as it is, without cutting.


Question: What do you guys think, how would a boge carto with removed filling (white fluffy stuff), just sock and coil, behave in a syringe tank? Will it leak right through?

Note: Tried a tank from 50 ml syringes for fun (only with water and unpunched carto) - very unstable, huge, clumsy thing. Shall try again.

A glass tank would look nice, but as Nails pointed out, it would be easier to break. I'd imagine you'd need some sort of glass tubing cutter. Drilling a fill hole (if you wanted one) would require a glass drill bit. Then, you'd also have to be able to find some way to stopper each end without leaks. Show us a picture if you get it made!

Has anyone had luck w/using ce2's instead of carto's?? Would really like to try those instead, just not sure how to go about it. I did watch a vid on it in this thread, but I was confused as to why you need to keep the tube from the ce2 on. All tanks I've seen take the tube off of the ce2 when put in a tank. Any thoughts?

I just got an acorn tank...uses cut e2's....gonna give it a shot...

If I'm not mistaken, it's the polyfil that keeps the juice from leaking. If you were to take out the polyfil, it would just leak out all over the place. That's why you can't make your carto holes too big, as it'll saturate the poly too quickly, causing it to run out. If the carto holes are too small, the poly doesn't get saturated fast enough and you burn it. Just my $0.02 on it, I could be wrong.

This may or may not be appropriate to post here since it's not directly related to the syringe mod, but I made a CE2 tank using just the guts of a Fluxomizer Deluxe XL and a 6ml juice bottle, so if you have both, that link will show you how to make one.

Ya, a fluff-less carto can hold 4-5 drops of liquid without leaking. Putting in it tank means it would probably take liquid upto the level of the liquid in tank. Maybe a tiny hole, no fluff and vg juice will behave different. Musing without getting my hands dirty here

Snarky, can you give me a link to the gp-ssr method please ? This seems to be more in line of what I'm wanting to do. Thanks .

Sending pm.

me too, please..

Vikki and Debb, while making my clearo tank this morning I came up with a better solution than the SSR modification. I noticed that the clearos I have seem to have a more secure tube than previous versions as I was having difficulty pulling the tube from the base. I cut the clearo tube just as I do my CE2 ss tubes for use in tanks (just under 1/2" from base, though length not as important for this application). The bottom section of clearo tube is used only for stabilization in the base plug. I cut the syringe tube right at about 2" to accommodate xl clearos. Seems very stable and no leaking thus far. Hope this helps.

You would have to keep the tank full enough to keep the coil(s) covered, not likely (except maybe for the bottom horizontal coil unit) . The filler keeps the coil(s) 'wet' via capillary action.

Might work on a retrofitted Fluxomizer though. The coil is at the bottom. You'd just have to be sure to keep the seal in place so you don't get juice into the cup though...that may be sort of what Mindfield's link referred to though. Now I need to go back and read it over.

EDIT - Yep...very similar to Mindfield's tank. Only you would use the Fluxo in a syringe rather than the plastic bottle. Same concept though.

 

[Iffy]

I just kinda did it a bit then tested the stopper until I got it right. Sorry I'm not more help.

Hey, whatever gets da job done!

Still trying to find the 1 ml locally. Got a couple of more spots to try before mail order.

 

[GIMike]

Yanno, maybe I'm thinking of this wrong. But if I remember right, soaking a coil gets you nowhere. I used to kill attys with my dse-801 if I accidentally overfilled the carts. They just wouldn't heat up at all after they got too wet. So I'm thinking that having massive amounts of liquid on a coil would have the same effect if you removed all the poly from a carto. Otherwise, tanks would never have been invented cause the guy who invented dripping would have said "eh, there's no learning curve to dripping, just drip until the atty's full of juice and vape away!" That and you'd probably just drink the liquid like drinking through a straw, instead of getting any vapor

Been lurking around as I wait for the mailman to come with some real gear and have fallen in love with these tanks. Made a trip to Tractor Supply today and the couldn't resist having a practice run, Lo and behold it actually worked. Ugly as sin, but the best that blu ever tasted and vaped.

Looks great to me. If you want one to hold more juice you can make one a little longer than you pictures shows, and use a Drip tip. Look at my post ( # 696 )

Yours rock!
Waiting on that mailman for drip tips too!

Hubby and I actually made a tank from this thread It is so easy to make Got more cartos coming to make more, except we are going to use the longer ones this time Mailman better be nice tomorrow
