Well if I can get the pyrex, I know that I can do the acid etching. Got plenty of experience working with mylar stencils (work a lot with relief printmaking, etching, and silk-screening), so I'm sure I can scan my katana's tube to pull an image of the actual engraving and just go from there.

Or I could send you the logo? POC posted it online for us.

Hell yeah! That makes my life much easier! If the tanks ever come available, I'll see what I can do. Also gotta double check the acid etching solution is still available for purchase in CA. It's illegal for private parties to purchase it in a few states b/c of its potential for abuse as a means of graffiti.

Ah Kami, I was just searching for it lol.

You know....there may be another way.........Phiniac will sandblast this onto tanks if you provide them with the image...and the tank
may want to use photoshop and add shadowing and stuff.....but ...it's an option :)

All credit for this concept belongs to Armen. He shot me some pics of a similar setup, and all I did was put something similar together a post pics. Enjoy :)

Katana+GGTS

Parts:
Katana tank/atty
Katana tank cover (optional)
GGTS bottom tube assembly
GGTS telescope (use ss, you wouldn't want to risk stripping the threads on a brass tele)
GGTB battery extension
18650 AW IMR batt


1. Screw shorter threads of GGTS telescope onto where the button of the Katana usually threads on, and then tele onto GGTS bottom tub. Some of the bottom threads on the telescope may still be showing, but don't worry, they'll be covered up.


2. Fully screw the Katana+tele into the GGTS bottom tube so that the two tubes sit flush with each other. In my case, the engravings happened to line up perfectly.



3. Insert your battery into the tube, then, with it in its longest possible configuration, insert the GGTB battery extension. Next, try to screw the Katana atty/tank on, and based on how much room is left in the tank, begin to shorten the length of the battery extension until the tank fits snuggly onto the mod.
It should look something like this



4. Vape!

Hey friends, what kind of mesh would you recommend for BWB juices? I know they are a little on the thick side for a 70/30 pg/vg blend, but 325x325 mesh should work fine?

It should be just fine...... Never used BWB but I do use 50/50 juice and 325 with no wicking issues :)

That is way cool :)

I bet using the 18350 tube of the katana will eliminate the need for the battery extender and give a reasonably sized 18650 Ktana with a GG button :). I'm gonna have to give that a try when I get home!

I just happen to switch out in success and i realised someone beat me to it. hahaha.. here is the 18350 batt tube with a GG bottom.. fits a IMR 18650 perfectly... and it doesn't rattle!

voila!

Can someone send me the link or page on the thread here for the magnet sizes and where to buy the magnets? I really wanna put the magnets in my Katana. Thnx.

Adam

Sure thing :). These are the ones I used and they work great (Katana Magnets). In the v2 and v3 I use 3 magnets and it is strong enough to not fire with the lock disengaged and the katana standing on the button. In the v1 only 2 will fit so it is not strong enough to stand on the button without the lock on but the button push is very light and it's strong enough that it does not stick when you release the button.
