It just dawned on me that I may have forgotten a huge piece of information in regards to leakage wi the Storm tanks. DUH! I've been racking my brain trying to figure out how it could possible leak!
The tube is tapered and if you don't put the smallest end over the cart, it will slide around as described by vprdragon. It should be a very snug fit! I'm so sorry if this has caused anyone any grief. I've put so many together and just took that detail for granted, I guess.

Getting them on Teusday again?
Or later in the week.
Will get another one on Thursday..

Yes an implementation of a Map Tank inside of a box mod would be interesting and very easy to do IMO. I wish I had the time and inclenation... hint hint.
Use a syringe with a 20g needle. Those soft 'needles' that come with the E2s are useless for VG. I use an 18g needle to suck the juice into the syringe then switch it out for a 20g to fill the E2. Easy peasy.

I was making a tank box on xmas vacation but ran out of time. Got my MAP last week and decided to convert it to that. I had a little time today but didn't get it finished - glue is drying and the soldering left to do. 18650 and the MAP should be nice. Hopefully, I can get some time next weekend to finish.
Im having two issues with my tank, want to see if anyone else is having these problems.....
1. I have been noticing vapor rolling down in to the tank...tasting very burnt occasionally now too.
2. I set mine down while I had to run in to the airport, took my tank off and set it down in the cup holder of my truck. Returned about an hour later to find it had leaked about 2 ml out, luckily on to a napkin.
Anyone else having any of these issues? Only had mine a week now...maybe less.

Questions -
- what ohms is the CE2 in your tank
- what voltage are you vaping at
- what is the mix ratio and type of flavor of your juice
I had a 2.4 ohm CE2 on a 3.7V GLV with a 50/50 mix juice, the first evening I used it everything was great, but the second evening I started getting some slightly burnt taste. I took a look and the coil was already looking pretty cruddy.
I cleaned it, did a dry burn, put in a 70/30 mix ( slightly darker though ) and used it on my Ego ( 3.4V ? ) Used most of 2 days before getting an occasional burnt taste. My thought is, unless you have really light and clear juices, stay away from 2.4 ohm CE2's. I'm going to try to get some 3.2's for my GLV and see how that goes.
As far as the vapor in the tank goes; I keep my house fairly cool, so it stands to reason my tank is cool. Some of the warm vapor is naturally going to get pulled into the tank where the air is cooler. ( straight thermodynamics ) I can't see as how it would cause any problems though.
On your leaking problem, if the tank was sitting upright in the cup holder, I don't know what the problem is but there is a problem. Maybe the carto was not seated firmly in the bottom plug and you loosened it enough to leak when you took it off your PV. If the tank was laying on its side then you have to realize there are 2 holes where the wick comes into the ceramic cup. If you fluff up the wick around the coil as it leaves the cup then you minimize those holes, but you don't want to push the silicone ring down too tight onto the cup because you risk restricting the flow of juice.
On a side note - I have only had to fill my tank twice so far, but I just left the top grommet off and poured juice right into tank. No needles and no drip dripping.
The only thing I did was make sure ceramic cup was centered, then push grommet straight down into tank being careful to put even pressure around the circumference. Easy peassy

Let us know how you like the 3.2 on the GLV when you get it... Very interested in the results... I just ordered the 2.5 Kr808D tonight! Planning on grabbing one of each to compare and see which one I like better. Until then.. Keep vaping my friend
I vape 100% VG with 2.4ohm CE2 and MAP tank on 2 different single 16340 mods (I cannot imagine the GLV-2 mini will supply any different current than my MVS or Cloud Laser). I've no issue with leaking or burnt taste. I did have to mess with the top cap to get it seated right (slots matched to wicks, fully seated, etc) and I tend to 'roll' my mod to wet the wicks between vapes (I like how the liquid looks ).
I would probably buy a 2.0 ohm version if it was made/sold.

There is a fine line between perfection and leaking with the MAP Tank IMO. I'm convinced that what happens is the drip tip gets bumped and it breaks the seal created around the filler cap. The solution would be to construct the upper delrin plug so that there was something that stops the metal tube from making contact with the filler cap. Another option would be to modify either the metal tube or drip tip so that it could only go in so far.
Im using the 2.4 ohm MAP tank on a 3.7v Omega. And like you, I didnt use a needle...just took the top off. So I may not have lined it up just right, wasnt aware it could be misaligned. All I could see is the round ceramic end cap to match the round hole in the top. I will have to double check that. As for liquid, I am using 70/30 TV Gingerbread...which is a mildly dark juice (gets much darker during use in the tank I have noticed).
The leaking part...well it wasnt completely on its side....kinda sitting at an angle, but I guess it was enough to cause a leak. How are you cleaning? Mine too, looks like its caked up already. That might help.

Hey UA72riddle, you are putting the silicone cap with the 2 feed holes back on the ceramic cup, right? If not, it will leak like a sieve!
Cleaning is a breeze since you can take it apart. I just take off the top grommet and the cylinder and rinse everything with hot water, paying special attention to the wicks. Then I squeeze dry the wicks in some paper towels and do a dry burn. Everything comes clean except maybe the very edges of where the wick comes out of each end of the coil. If that gets to bad you can use a butane torch, just be careful about the plastic around the bottom of the ceramic cup.
I think the darkening of the juice after it sits has to do with vapor getting back into the tank mixing back into the juice. Some juices will gunk the coils faster then others but that will happen no matter what you're using Attys, CE2, Clearomozers, I don't believe it has any thing to do with the MAP Tank itself.
I think it has to do with the char on the coil. Have you ever blown a regular atty out into a paper towel? Same dark color. The difference is the you have a tank and you can see it. The longer the juice is in there, the darker it gets. I have noticed with the newer wicks on the CE2, it's not getting as dark as it used to. Mine is a golden color out of the bottle and used to look like coffee before I could vape 2 ml! Not as bad anymore.
Exactly right, when my liquid gets 'off color' I know it's time to dry burn/clean the coil. I'm finding the newer wicks are better in this dept. too.
Thats exactly the way to describe mine..and it didnt take long. First fill up (barely over half way) turned dark the first day. I got my tank the first part of last week, so I am going to assume that it has a fairly new ce2.
I want to share a simple way to stop the steel tube from being pushed into the coil causing leakage. I bought some tubing from Ace hardware that fits very tightly onto the s.s tube. Cut a 1/4" length and put it on the end of the tube. Here are some pics showing what it looks like.
