I just got the Big Daddy tank and ordered a chrome Provari because of the pic of this setup of another member on this thread. Right now the tank won't work on my Rough stack since the firing button is on the top next to the 510 connector. I have some 306 on order from Health Cabin but it'll take awhile to receive. In the mean time I want to try this with a polished DSE-510 atty by drilling a couple holes at or above the bridge on the sleeve. I slipped one of the caps on the atty and it seems to be perfect sized to not leak. The only thing is that the height of the atty is pretty short so I'd either have to buy a 510 extension or cut the tube size for the 510 atty sleeve. I also ordered the black anodized caps and a couple of lil Mama sized tubes.

The 510 is a different animal dogtown, it's gonna flood if you drill a hole in the Atty tube itself,, you would need a laser hole, very very small hole and even at that it isnt the way to go, there is another way.! hang tight for a bit. Blissful vaping on the 510 is coming soon.!!!

Sounds sweet MWA I see where you are going, and I don't see why it could not happen. Just have to dial it in.

I heard about this thread on the new store in so cal thread and a couple people are playing with this. One thing someone figure out is if you get a dry hit, to prime the atty just take a hit without firing the battery, and it seems to work great. Although I have made the changes to my mod that I discussed earlier (all holes right at the atty base and shortened the 306 cap so it doesn't push to far in the tank top and flood atty at filling) and rarely getting any dry hits at all. Perfect 306 vaping all night long! No more turning tank upside down to get liquid in the CE2 atty, and always having to keep my unit up so the CE2 atty didn't flood. I actually am feeling spoiled just vaping away and not hassling with anything. Not to mention the improved flavor of my liquid vaping on the 306.

how small of a hole are we talking. i have a 510 bridge less atty from the gotvapes pump cart set up with a 510 steel tube attached and leak free at the joint. iv got a pipe punch tool that i can use to guide a drill bit into the sleeve, now before i go killing all of my RESURRECTORs just for the 510 sleeves id like to try on this one but would like a good starting point in hole size as you can go bigger and not smaller lol

Is this something we'll be able to do ourselves?

I'm not suggesting this method for a 510 Sport ! but you can try anything you want of course, and a laser hole is extremely small but in my opinion two things will happen with this, 1 you wont get enough liquid, and 2 with to big of a hole you will flood. I have another method that I will be using !

tomorrow im going to see if i cant pull off a clean 1/16" hole at my buddys machine shop. he said he has a bit that if timed right will be close to that. another thought is using a engraving machine with needle that done in very small circles could make a small pin hole. mind giving some incite on your 510 ideal?

So I had a great day vaping my standard size Torpedo tank setup all day. Only had a couple dry hit, and used the new technique of taking a couple hit without firing the battery an that primed the atty right back to normal. I did have it flood twice, but just blew it out and I was back again vaping away.

On my drive home I did have it leak though, but that was just due to it needing a new o ring, since I have just been using it with the original o ring that is over 6 months old. So I put in a new one and it is tighter than ever.

What I did find is how important the size of the holes are. If to big you get flooding. After replacing the o ring I decided to use a new liquid and it started flooding right away. Turns out it is only 50% VG and I had been vaping 70% before. Put a 70% juice in and no flooding problems.

The most cool experience I had all day was I was able to vape every drop of liquid out of the tank with totally consistent vaping! One great thing with the Torpedo tank is the liquid holes are right where the 306 tube comes out of the bottom of the tank. The Torpedo base is the exact distance to the 306 top. The other great thing with this is to get the hole made right at the top (flat part) of the 306 you just put the 306 cap and atty in the tank bottom screw it on the battery to get the proper fit and make the holes right where the 306 cap exit the tank bottom.

If you make ones that can fit in a Torpedo Tank with the IKV I06 and ones that will fit a regular 306, I'll be your first customer with 4 orders. :). I'm not finding the O ring that stops leaking where I am but I really love this setup, with the little vaping I can do before it floods my cone of course.

You know what you may have one of the first versions of the Torpedo tank that I think used a bigger and thinner o ring. The 2nd version he used a smaller and thicker o ring. I just bought some o rings that were I think 5/16th diameter, but I don't remember the thickness. I am not sure if the V1 tank base is the same as the V2. I hope you can find a place that may have the o ring that will work for you.

Hey guys wanting this with a 501 I would trust MWA's advice on how small the holes need to be to work, and wait until we see what he is putting together. The hole size is the critical part of this mod. As he mentioned if too big all you will get is flooding, and then that will vary on the thickness of your juice. Go for playing around with it if you like but you may just be frustrated.

That is why the 306 and i06 are so perfect to use on this mod. With the bridge exposed at the top and the plastic cap they are ideal for making this mod work and reducing the frustration of getting a working mod. If I were you I would get a few 306's and mod away. This is all still in the R&D stage. But super promising.

Actually if anyone knows where you can buy just the 306 caps without the atty that would be what you really need to tinker with this mod. Let us know.

Anyway I encourage as many people as possible to get some 306's and play with what ever tank you have and let us know of what your experiences are. I sure could use your insight and save me from figuring things out the hard way. That is why I am sharing my experiences here to help others figure this out. I have no vested interest in this just to enjoy a better vaping experience. Which I have found to be the case so far.

Where are the holes in relation to the bottom cap? I ask because with the original liquinators (which I still use) you could actually slide the tank up and down and cover the slot if desired. That might be useful for this tank if it floods you could cover the holes.

Probably would not work with the jonboy tank or the stock io306 sleeve but if an "XL" size sleeve were available you might be able to cover the hole when needed and could then the whole thing could be adjusted for different thicknesses of juice.

@ Vapepornrules, The i06 works perfectly with the Jonboy tanks, it is what I used to come up with this Mod, the stock carts that come with the i06 are also what I used.

@ sporty40, 1/16 hole will end up flooding that Atty, it will act like a straw in a soda, feeding a 510 through the side of the tube is NOT how to make a 510 work in a tank, it must feed through the bottom in my opinion, this is why a special piece is required.

Right on Quad ! As I stated earlier and in my Youtube video, a simple Delrin tube cut to the correct size for the tank you want to use with the proper size & Placed holes is the best way to do this. You can by Delrin tubing at McMaster-Carr = McMaster-Carr
What inside diameter do you use to get a tight fit on the atty ?

Thanks MWA for the tubing link. Endless R&D with some of this. I have just been rocking my torpedo tank all day today. I have had a few dry hits and one slight flooding. Other than that just endless 306 vaping bliss! I vaped 2 tanks down to the last drop today. Note the tank only holds around 2 ml of juice :0)

The great thing is I know how to make the perfect tank size now. With the standard size torpedo tank the 306 cap pushes quite a ways into the top part of the tank. This caused me to push juice through my atty when I put the tank top on. So I cut about a 1/4 inch off the bottom of the 306 cap so the top of it fit just right into the top of the tank. Since I have a couple extra xl tank tubes, what I really need to do is cut the tank tube down so the top of the tank fits just right on the top of the 306 cap. That should give me another 1-2 mls of juice in the tank. Probably looking at a 3.5 - 4 ml tank which is the perfect size for me. Anyway I just ordered some new 3.0 ohm 306 attys that I can try to dial in like this. Not to mention utilize my Provri. Right now I only have LR 306's that will only vape on the Provri at 3.3 volts, yet having a great experience. Looking forward to really stepping this up a notch or two.

Keep the faith everyone, tinker away, and let us know your experiences. We are going to dial this in.

No I meant that it doesnt look like the Jonboy tanks slide up and down because the top cap is integrated with the tip and doesnt seem to slide. I havent used the Jonboys so not sure
