I was curious about this, so I made @ShowMeTwice do an experiment
His results are here:
Hussar Project X RTA Clone (by Coppervape)
Generally Hussar claims their topcap sections are cross-compatiable between the Project X and v1.5 but if you want it confirmed, I'd start a thread about in the v1.5 product forum:
$20.99 SXK Hussar V1.5 Styled RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - 2ml / 316 stainless steel + PC / 22mm diameter at FastTech - Free Shipping
I've found this tank pretty easy to wick. Just cut the cotton flush with the base, fluff it out and put it carefully inside the channels. Zero dry hits and excellent flavor.
I'm really enjoying seeing your wicking tutorials around the threads. Welcome to ECF

Thank you. Nice to be here.
Hi.
It fits, like a glove.
Today I did the test and it worked just fine.
The Project X MTL top cap on the regular Project X.
Sorry, I haven't visited the thread in a bit.
I bought a couple of the spare o-rings via FT back when I got my X's. And yes, there are two red ones.
On my Project X's there are no red o-rings installed. Here is a photo of an X with all parts laid out.
If you swap yours just match them one-by-one with the spares and you should be set.
ETA: This may help... there 12 o-rings total (see above parts pic).

Glad I bought some SJMY 2k16's, and 10 spare clear tank sections, while they were still in-stock. All out of the SJMY's now. A year later, I'm still on my first clear tank section. As long as I'm careful I don't see the threads stripping.
B-b-but, seeing as this is the X thread...
Always lovin' the X baby!!!
I might be looking to move my X MTL, IDK, still thinking. It was nice, solid vape and all, but hasn't gotten much use. And w/the regular X's it likely won't. We'll see.
Original 3 hole X for me too
Just need some ideas guys...my cotton seems to be wicking only from one side...and find one side with no bubbles at all...is this normal. I feel like the vape is not as "wet" as it should be because of this?
Did you thin the cotton at all? I always slim down the cotton, too much and will not wick as well, how thin I have my cotton, I would think it would leak, but it doesn't, less is more with the hussar I find.
In have thinned down the cotton, but not too much. Infact I have cut the wick at the edge of the tank so its got quite a bit of space in the wells.
Try trimming a bit off the top of the tails, as the juice comes down from above them, so if to much it will choke the juice from coming down.
Finally figured out my mistake. I was shoving the wick into the channels which hold the coil rod (near the coil, not on the outside of the deck) and not really over it. i think that was cutting off the juice flow. Putting in the wicks more like a bow shape has helped a lot. Still trying to get the best flavor from it though. The taifun gt3 is a lot better at this point.
Still getting a lot of dry hits and when I checked the wick, it was like one side was brown and the other side was ok. Read some of the forum again and decided to make a 2.5mm coil instead of the 3mm I was usually using. So far so good..will report back in some time as to if this worked.
Sigh. Every time I see this thread, I feel guilty. Want to build it but it looks like one of them "project" RTAs.
Sigh.

Pic may help...
After you get your wick placed in the coil... juice the wick up (see above). Take a paperclip, needle or small blade screwdriver and gently guide/place your wick into the channels leading away from the coil and into to the juice wells.
Sounds like you have too much wick and/or you still need to trim more from the wick. What type if wick are you using??? Cotton or rayon???
When you place your wick in the coil with cotton you should feel some resistance when moving the wick side-to-side. Too tight = dry hits. Too loose and it may flood the deck.
If rayon, you will use about a 1/3 more wick vs cotton. You want to feel it pretty tight in the coil. Some hear a squeaking sound.
If still using a 3mm ID coil you will need to trim from the sides of the tails. And also a good amount from the top (as @Nailz said) in order for proper juice flow. Too much wick on the top will mess with the juice flow leading to dry hits.
If one side of the wick is darker that can be from a longer tail on that side (tails should be evenly trimmed). Or the shoulders of the wick in the coil were not evened out. When you have the wick in the coil move it left and right a few times until each side (shoulder) looks even. You do not want one side looking more bunched up.
On page 1 of this thread there is a PDF tutorial for building the Project X. You may find it helpful.
Most find 2.5mm ID coils to be perfect in the X. I did try a 3mm ID coil in the X and it worked fine but find I get better performance with 2.5's.
Looking forward to your next update.
Hi Anna!!! I hope life finds you well.
You may surprise yourself with the Project X. It really is like any other RTA. Once you find the sweet spot it's like ridin' a bike.
