Some observations about the tank mods, now that I have used them for a while.
First off - Big props to Stormi, I had some problems with my storm tank and he took care of it. The outer tube was sliding around quite a bit once I put juice in the tank and that made putting the mouth piece on that much more difficult. He sent me another one and it works much better.
I now have 3 MAP tanks ( don't hate me

), one with each ohm rating. ( 2.4 / 2.8 / 3.2 ) While putting together the third tank ( 2.8 ohm ) I noticed the CE2 was built slightly different. ( both wires went all the way down to threaded end, the others had the pos wire soldered in the middle of the tube ) This made me look at the CE2 more closely and I noticed that the center tube had a film on it that was slightly tacky to the touch, and when I put the tank back together the ceramic cup went up into the delrin plug too far. I took it back apart and found that the whole cup assembly would slide up and down on the center tube over an 1/8". I slid it down and gave it a few twist to take up the slack in the wires, then put it through a cleaning cycle. I put it back together and the plug went down the perfect distance over the ceramic cup. ( just barely not touching the wicks )
This made me take another look at the other 2, and while the cup is stationary, I noticed the delrin plug was close enough to slightly compress the wicks. This may be causing the slight burnt taste I am getting from the 3.2 ohm tank. I had put this down to thick juice and it hasn't gone through its first cleaning. ( I find that the CE2's tend to work a little better after the first cleaning )
As I just happened to have bought a pack each of the 2.8 & 3.2 ohm CE2's, I broke out my brand new pipe cutter to check them out. By the way, if you buy the cheapest pipe cutter, expect the cheapest construction. After putting a carto in and making sure it was seated properly with a little pressure, I started spinning away. After 4 or 5 revolutions and it wasn't getting any looser, I took a look and the cutter wheel had walked down the tube instead of putting a circular cut in it.

The 2.8 ohm carto had the pos wire soldered in the middle of the tube and the cup was not loose. ( opposite of the 2.8 that came with the tank ) The 3.2 ohm carto had the pos wire in the middle but the cup was loose. ( wire in same position but cup was not loose on the 3.2 that came with tank ) I only cut one carto from each pack, I'll sound off later if I find there are different cartos in the same pack. The 3.2 lined up with just a little clearance over the wicks.
BRUUUUCE...

...You need to give Martinez a call, and we may need to consider making the Lexan tube appx 2mm's longer.
That's all for now.... VAPE ON people
