Has the dimensions from gotvapes. Does anyone have a 13mm to see if the diameter fits in the sleeve?

The ID of the tank sleeve on the 2ml Pen style is 13.45mm and 42mm long. The Tanco Pen sleeve is the same ID with length of 71mm. It looks like any of the attys based on the eGo B cylinder run the same ID.

The Gigantomizers (V2 and I believe V1) are ID of 11.50mm.

the ego tubes fit over the visions just a hair loose but workable. not sure on the pen cap unless you remove the threaded parts.
those pen covers go with a sapphire carto or any ce2 or filler carto the correct length on an ego. ce2 inside the pen cap makes it pocket friendly. they work very well for this.

once upon a time there was a thread on how to disassemble those giantomizers lol

I have a stupid question. What is the best way to drill a 1mm hole in that d@mn metal tube! I had a setup all ready to go and went to drill the hole with my dremel and 1mm bit. Darn thing skated all over that tube! I don't have a drill press :(

I threw it away, and reverted to my A-2TM in genesis again.

Get a Scratch Awl... should be available a local hardware store. This is the one I use - get the hole started then the drill bit can catch. On tubes, be sure to secure them (they crush easily in a vice though) so it doesn't roll away from you.

Also, don't confuse it with a nail or pen punch - this one has a sharp point and should be made of hardened steel.

Teach I built mine without taking off the threaded insert of the sleeve, didn't realize it was a pressed in part. What did you use to disassemble it?

It will pull out if you have the top cap screwed on - just work it a bit and it pops right out. I'm thinking of putting a bit of glue when I reseat it - it loosened a couple of times.

Alžběta Madragana, I am near Kings Dominion, North of Richmond, Va. Came to the Commonwealth because of the Navy, and didn't leave after I retired from active service. Spent a lot of time in Norfolk also.

Well I took an old ego batt shell, syringe case, some tapestry needles, CE2, and have a start for a line on the cheap. Can't find my stash of heat shrink (still a teenager in the house and everything has feet), so I will finish that part as soon as I get out and get some. My batt shell screws down onto the eGo threads, then the tank drops down and screws into the 510 connection. My only problem is a setup for a top/mouthpiece. That hopefully will be resolved when I get these "shells".

Please tell me the shell screws down onto the eGo threading. If not, I got it covered as a took the threading inerds from a cone.
Geez, I don't know the answer to that if it threads or not. I have a SmokTech giant carto with a 510 thread it's just smooth, so I know it won't fit that!
"THANK YOU" for your service to our country. Don't know about the folks in VA, but all of us down here in TX appreciate all Veterans.
Kings Dominion is near Doswell; I remember it well. I have been to Kings Dominion too many times to count, but have not been up there since 1997. I was born in Norfolk. Most of my dad's side of the family lives there - the rest are in North Carolina.
I found some plastic tubing that fits very nicely in the shell - it's 7/16th OD and I got it from Lowe's. Home Depot or any other place similar have it. Probably Ace Hardware as well. So between 4 freaking tubes, I know I'm going to get at least ONE good working 'Line' from it...

So. I started work on my 'El Cheapo Line' and I've decided to permanently attach it to my BoxModd. I think it'll work better that way. I completed my first 'Texas SideWinder Edition' of the Genisis - it looks like a Maxi-Line, and it kicks .... 3 wraps of .20MM Kanthal A-1 on 4,8 Volts and it's a killer. Whole freaking living room is full of fog...... LOL. Laters! I'm going to VAPE IT some more!!!
**between tokes: I promise to get some pix of this thing posted soon,, too busy enJOYing it right now**

Looks great BJ. Make me one :) Pretty please :) I'll be your frrrrieeennnddd!

I don't have my stuff yet, plus it is the wrong stuff. So today I played with my A-2's and some battery tube. Gotta a top fed genesis, and it works well. Again, thanks Teach, the scratch awl worked a charm.

Dito Teach on the scratch awk, worked great after ruining one of the caps.

Excellent - glad to hear it did the trick!
