Ok guys, This is only the second video I've made.....No wise cracks.
Filling Jonboy's Carto Tanks - YouTube

Thanks for the vid - I'm definitely gonna try one of these, this'll be good reference for filling then. Question - The punched cartos; are you modding them yourself or buying them prepunched? I'm sure you mentioned it somewhere but this thread is pretty long. ~~Thanks
I don't think that's gonna help you guys, I use a mill I have in my shop. Not unless you wanna spend a few thousand dollars on a mill. Then I'll make a video to show you how to use it. You game?
I would love to have a mill (wonders what a mill is)! It sounds like I could rack up some major medical bills with a mill.
good pointers strprswpr
...if Jon could lighten up just a hair on the diameter tolerances where the end caps simply pop off and still be snug safe it would be an overall easier reload experience...jmo
I prefer them the way they are. One of the reasons I like these so much is the tight tolerances. I'd don't mind working a little if I can have piece of mind that they won't leak.
the liquinator's end caps pop off nice and easy and don't leak and are snug enough for no worries.......hey why debating here the customer is always right!
Rule # 1-The customer is always right.
Rule # 2-If the customer is not always right re-read rule 1.
I need to speak to a supervisor!!
I've been reading about the Liquinator......Seems a lot of people aren't very happy over there.
may probably seem like alot but heck they have sold probably a ton more of those liquinators than alot
end caps are fine though....some of their inner diameter holes were outta of spec and loose but again no leaks from O-rings ....leaking is happening with some DC cartos and outta spec inside holes being too loose and tanks slipping off , they have to stop slotting the DC's and either drill or punch them and tighten up QC with their manufacturer to get tolerances correct and consistent

I have one of their original SS prototypes. It works fine. I think what makes Jon's tanks so much better aside from the obvious one of a kind caps.....Is there is a stop built into the top cap. It makes the tank feel so much sturdier. I'll tell you what. Order one.....If you don't like it.....I'll buy it back for the same money you paid. That's how sure I am of these tanks.
By the way....I like the punched cartos as well. I actually mill the hole in mine so I won't get any deformity in the carto.
In my video I lube the o rings which makes it really easy to assemble and take apart. To be perfectly honest I don't use any lube. I like it when everything is tight, tight, tight. But people were having trouble so I tested it first and then recommended that. It's made it easy for some of the people that can't put the force I can on the tank. Both methods are working.
As far as leaking through the (standard) carto battery hole, what are good cartos and what are bad?
I use IKV gold v2 & DC's with pretty good luck. Where are you in KY?
