JonboyUSMC's Lava Tanks

[NebulaBrot]

Thanks for all the feedback on the fill holes gang. Obviously that is something I can decide later.

I'm leaning towards the magma and may add a SB to my collection (like I NEED another device) but at least I will have one device it won't look funny on. But I really want the capacity and thicker tube walls too. Will have to wait and see what JB's magma materials look like.

I did'nt think Jay was bad but th other guy turned me off to that thread.

The other guy was totally out of line. Jay let it go. I have a problem with that.

Yeah, I was not happy with that eather. They still dont show a sale on their site. Maybe he's holding off.

The GLV order update thread.

Maybe. I think it was ill-conceived.

I hope you and the rest of our Lavacorps start feeling better soon. What if we go to war?

 

[Capt.Louisville]

Gotta go close out payroll. I'll be back later.

We'll hold our own. Even @ 1/2 speed i'm pretty good.

I'll bet that the problem is either the carto isn't filled or you need two holes. I don't care what kind of juice it is.....just put two holes....It will only help the wicking. I don't know why Jon's using one....all mine have 2

I think I should try the carto fill this next time. Maybe I wasn't getting the cartos all the way full. I was just dripping into them and I did not get any juice in the hole. I could see through just fine before I put it together. But maybe they had dry spots?

I think I'm on the mend. It's been two weeks for me and one round of antibiotics.

Cat,
I always fill the carto with a syringe after I put it in the tank,(when it is brand new) then I fill the tank..... If you have the female versions of the 0 -rings the top cap can be removed for re-filling. Just gently turn while pulling slightly. I always hold the battery connection when doing this so the carto stays put. It is ok to overfill the carto just as long as you blow through after the tank is totally back together.....remember to hold a tissue at the battery end to catch the juice......
Filling the carto a 2nd time at refill is optional, imo.

Filling the carto on the second fill should not be necessary. I fill my cartos by doing the Taryn Spin 3 or 4 times until the juice is so packed in it won't take another drop, then I blow out the excess and fill the tank.
If I sound like a pain in the ... about all of this.....it's because since I started using this method of filling the tank and the carto....in addition to using two holes, I have never....ever had an issue. I know my method is fool proof.

The King never lies.

Agreed stripper.....I have not experience any problems either. Personally don't care for the taryn spin but, hey, that's just me. If it ain't broke don't fix it....

Here's a quick shot of the buckeye burl so far. Hope this works because this stuff is amazing looking.
