JonboyUSMC's Lava Tanks

[bmwzero]

I've still got a week wait to receive mine but im guessing as long as the top of the ce2 just sits in the top plug to make a leak proof seal your right.

The ce2 is seated in the plug, it just sits higher in the large tank than the smaller tank. Curious if they are all like that. It seems to be fine..... No leaks. This thing is built like a brick ..ithouse.

I read somewhere jon shortened them a tad and it helped the draw or vape amount maybe thats why it sits higher?

DIY's are almost done. I just have to do the finish work after work tomorrow, and re-size the tanks. They are the black delrin again. I didn't get a chance to order the colored material. I found the material that Cherryvapes uses for their drip tips, but I can't get it any bigger than 3/4". ksmith, I'll post some pics when they are complete. You probably won't see the difference, but I added 1/8" to the height, and I also added 1/16" to the overall height of the clear tubing on the maxi tanks. This should expose just a little more of the wick. I've got a mini that I did like that, and it vapes like a chimney. I REALLY like the mini tank.

Here ... knew i read it somewhere although increased length..

Here's what it looks like.

You could drive a truck over this thing. Of the 3 Tanks I've bought this is by far the best quality. I'll be keeping an eye out for anything else John makes. I also ordered another........I can't just have one.

It is a thing of beauty aint it. Jonboy seems to be a really good bloke too.

Mini jonboyusmc tank is working to perfection!!! No leaks whatsoever, no matter how hard I try... Using it on my glv2 mini and even slapped the badboy on my Darwin, I used a ce2 at 3.0ohm rev 4 and this thing toots like a champ!! Thanks again jonboyusmc for this great product!!

 

[lorderos33]

Agreed, john boy's tank is top notch and super durable. No complaints at all.

Received, built, vaped. Simple kit to build, excellent craftsmanship, and a speedy transaction. What more can you ask for? I've been around the vaping block for a few, if you are looking for a tank, grab one.

Thanks everyone. I tried my best to give a really good product at a fair price. I've been vaping my stainless tank with a stainless steel mesh wick and a 2.2 ohm coil I wound. WOW!!!! is all I can say. Unbelievable taste and vapor production. I found that if you cut off the small inner ring on the silicone cup, that it will help get rid of any "off" taste. The little lip on there actually contacts the coil and can give you a funky taste. Mine tasted like soap until I trimmed it off. Now its 100% juice flavor, no hint of wick or silicone taste. I'm loving this thing.

Received my kit yesterday. Vaped a whole tank through the mini already. Refilled it and vaped it half way. I took it to town with me to get my daughter. Even in my pocket, it didn't leak, laid it on my seat in the car, didn't leak, turned it upside down, didn't leak. I'm in love...no leaks. Very, very well built.

Most thing I love about it, it's easy to change the ce2. I've tried all the others and these are by far the easiest to use. I have nerve damage in my wrist and hands so pulling and pushing small things is really hard for me. I got mine assembled without begging for help.

Jon, keep up the excellent products you provide. I would love to see you make a tank that is friendly for a regular boge cartomizer...hint hint.

Thank you again.

Hairball, I received my tanks a couple of days ago, but because of work I haven't been able to play with them yet. What did you do to insert the Ce2 into the bottom cap?? Just looking for suggestions. Thanks

I dripped a drop of juice on the base of the ce2 and both bottom and top caps (around the O rings). Kinda smeared it around. It slid together pretty easily with the juice on them. Took a little force but not enough to sets my hands/wrists off into agonizing pain. It holds together really well. I have it on my Buzz and picked it up several times by the tank. I also put it on hubby's provari (heavier mod) and did the same thing. It didn't budge at all.

Thanks Hairball. I will give the "juice" method a try when I get some time to "play". I appreciate your reply.

You're welcome. If I can put this together, someone without my problems won't have a problem at all with it. One nice thing also is how thick the tubing is so even if you have to put it up against something to apply the force, you don't have to worry about the tube splitting out. I didn't have to do it with mine. I lubed it, and twisted it as I went. Piece of cake.

How exactly did you manage that, and what did you use to trim it?

Been doing this for a while... An electronics end nipper works great, sharp and precise. An xacto knife works too...just gotta be careful.

 

[jonboyusmc]

It makes a world of difference in flavor. I used a small pair of fingernail clippers to trim mine. Just be careful. One slip and you'll ruin the silicone cup.
