Excellent! Also, this is my first time dealing with CE2's... after scanning through this thread I take it that's what this tank uses, correct? Sorry for the lame questions just trying to get familiar with stuff so I'm not lost when it comes time to replace parts ;-)

Awesome tanks though man!

They are metal CE2's not clearos and you want 510 thread to fit your ProVari. You take a pipe cutter and cut them 9.9mm from the bottom of the tube.

Awesome man! I was just reading over the 9.9mm post...thanks for the tips and links..I definitely appreciate it!

Anytime, feel free to ask if you have any other question. Enjoy your Tank.

Haha OK I'm gonna take you up on that offer and ask one more...I couldn't help but notice the XL cut CE2s...are those not 510's? Or will they do the trick equally as well?

Personally, I just eyeball it by the CE2 that I am repalcing. I put the new CE2 into the same device you have pictured, then hold the old one close and line it up by best quess. New one, once cut and inserted, works fine, for me.
Well if you're using the newer base with the o-ring you need to be fairly accurate. If you cut it too long the CE2 doesn't go all the way in flush which affects how much of the ceramic cup seats into the top. If you cut it too short it will be a little wobbly in there. The cut end of the CE2 needs to .... up against the rim inside the top of the hole in the base to be nice and secure.

Sorry, man I just replaced my polishing wheel. When the old one broke I didn't have the cash to replace it. After making the payment on the CNC I had just enough left to buy a cheap new polishing wheel.

It's ok... I think my friend's dad has a polishing wheel I might be able to use. I have a few parts I'd like to restore a mirror shine to, so a couple more is ok.. more incentive to get my ... over there already and use the thing.
