It's becoming like a Train Wreck.....I know I have to stop but I just can't look away. My wife keeps asking me why I need so many mods....I just tell her it could be worse. I could have worse habits.
I had 5.....But I felt bad my friend Rimp didn't get one on the last run so I sent her one of mine. So I'm down to 4.
Good child
Still waiting on the new metals
+1, don't want to miss out this time
No you don't. These tanks are awesome. You're lucky to have a friend like Swpr to send you one to hold you over.
We're buds
We share all the time, good person Going into stalk mode.

Received my Cloud 1 today... nice tank, but a couple of minor complaints:
- The tubing arrived with some scratches and marks, as well as left over marker on the edges (marker wiped off, but scratches are permanent)
- The inside tip of the mouth piece needs better finishing... there was left over scraps n bits in there that I had to clean and scrape out
Other than that, this is a really sweet looking tank! I can't wait to fit it to a Silver Vein BB I have on the way.

I imagine there are some particles left over from the machining. I run them under water and run a pipe cleaner through the tip before I use it. I can't answer for the finish on the caps or tank. Very first complaint and I'm sure Jon will take care of it.
You have to request which tank you want...they ce2 kind or the carto kind. The punched carto you can make yourself with a roofing nail and hammer. Slide the base of the carto tank on and mark with a sharpie, where to place the hole (as close to the bottom as you can on both sides). Remove the bottom. Put nail on your mark and hit with a hammer...don't smack it hard...just hard enough to get the nail to pierce the metal housing. Do it to the other mark. Put tank mod together, fill, and vape yourself silly.
I've been good. Have to get to work in a few minutes but wanted to drop in and see if any are up yet.
Seriously? I have a couple awl style punches but I thought using them might damage the casing or at the very least make it out of round. I might have to go practice on an old carto.

Thanks, Hairball.
Hey are we supposed to watch this thread for a link once they're available? I don't know where to order from...

Sorry about the little chips on the inside of the mouthpiece. The scratches on the clear tank were probably from the chuck jaws on the lathe. I have to put a little "bite" on them or else they will fly out of the lathe and hit me. I'll replace the clear tank if you'd like.

Just popping in to say HI!!! Taking a break to eat supper, then back to the lathe.
