JonboyUSMC Lava Tank Maintenance

[Capt.Louisville]

I thought it might be helpful to have an easy reference for the Lava tank.

O-rings: They are Buna-N for durability. The large o-rings on the top & bottom caps are 5/8" X 1/2" . The inside on the bottom cap are metric 9mm ID with a 1.5 mm cross section.

tank Filling: Thanks To strprswpr for this one


Carto Punching: I would recommend punching your cartos. If you cut them, you run the risk of introducing metal shavings into the carto & subsequently vaping them.

Has anyone found an effective method of removing the black covers off Boge cartos to use in their tanks? Obviously from now on I'll order them in stainless, but for the ones I already have? I took a bunch of used ones and boiled them...black sticker just peeled a little. Took it the rest of the way off and soaked them in isopropyl. Just made the sticky stuff a little gummy. Threw them back in the alcohol, where they've been for about 3 days now. But theres got to be a better way of getting that off there without using harsh chemicals right?

Peel em off by hand, get a little wd-40 and use that to clean off the residue. Don't get thw wd in the carto. DUH

I was even hesitant to use something like googone incase I got any in the filler. I'll try the wd40 and just have to be careful

Goo-Gone/Goof-Off work very well. Just peel off the label, wipe down w/ solvent until the residue is gone & wipe w/ damp cloth.

I make my kids peel them off

Jon, if you use the quad o rings on the inside of the cap will that tighten up the carto too?

 

[jonboyusmc]

If you want to tighten up the fit to the carto, then you can go to a 9.1 X 1.6MM o-ring. That will give you a .004" tighter fit.

From strprswpr:

Ladies and Gentleman, tonight is the night....At about 8:30 CST you will all get a chance to buy a

JonboyUSMC Lava Tank

So here's how it goes.

1- You will see a list of pictures with the new Lava Tanks and color names with numbers assigned to them.
2- Decide....QUICKLY....which ONE you want to buy. Pick 2 alternates just in case your first choice is sold out.

3- PM Jon with your choice....specify whether you want the tank frosted or clear. Also specify if you want a 2.0 or 3.0 Boge included.

4- Wait for Jon to PM you back. There is no need to send more than one PM....It won't get you an answer any faster.

5- Cross your fingers, pray....whatever you think might help you get the tank.

If you have any questions....ask them now. Don't wait beause they will go fast.


A couple of rules....

1- One Tank per household....we are trying to give everyone a chance to own at least one.

2- If there is any stock leftover after 24 hours you can try for another....NOT BEFORE....Personally I don't think they will last an hour. Please....let's not try to take advantage of Jon's good nature and ask for more than one.

There will always be more sales.


There are 30 Tanks up for grabs this week....So GOOD LUCK

Best way I have found to remove the black stickers on the cartos is to heat the carto up with a blow dryer. They should come right off then, leaving very little residue

There's a few others this may help as well, so here's a quick pic tutorial on how I do it:

After you're more familiar with how much it will hold you can put in more juice than this

Put the top on but don't push it the whole way down

Flip it over so the air trapped in the tank is over the punched hole

Keep that trapped air over the hole while you push the top back on

By only pushing air into the punched hole, and not more juice, you shouldn't flood the carto and have any leaks

**special thanks to Ever1ast for the help and this pic tutorial**
