I ruined one carto trying to grab it with a wrench. Wearing the glove and grabbing didn't help much either, but giving it a few wraps and holding the whole glove/carto was easy. The shell will still slip every few hits but each 'round' I made some progress.

Used your glove trick worked for me. Punched the bottom out of three today. Wrapped a latex glove around the shell and used a 1/4 in socket extension with a hammer. Thanks..

A tube cutter works great for me, put it a little above the bottom edge and slowly cut it. Don't cut it all the way, just enough to lower the tension on the connector. Hope that helps.

I have a love/hate relationship with the "Line" specially the V2. I have not been able to improve it by modding in any way and that is frustrating. All my cheap Lines are just replicas with cheaper materials and workmanship. Don't get me wrong the cheap Lines work great and when I built my first one with screw connecters I thought I had made an improvement, but it really wasn't. The coils on the silver wire last three times as long as the ones on the screws. A pic of my V2 after three days of vaping 5+ ml per day. This wick is over three months in use and the coil over a month. Every three days I wash it under the faucet and dry burn it and it is as good as new. The last 4 cheap lines I have made I used half hard silver wire and they are great. I have given up making any other attys as I have not found anything better than the line. Stalking the threads anxiously waiting on something better.

I have vaped two tanks of juice (5ml) with my new Sugru line and am really liking the Sugru. I chain vape 4.6/5.2v and all my pv's suffer from the heat even in one day of hard use. The Sugru shows no deterioration, not even staining. It tends to stay hot and keeps the juice warm and flowing good, 70VG/30PG. So far so good..

Do you think this would be a safe/cheap alternative to Sugru How To Make Your Own Sugru Substitute

That redefines the term "broke in wick" !!! OMG. I usually scrape the crustys off when I clean mine. But again, the PG/VG I use does't do this, the AVE BB & GJ does it some, and the BWB I used to use does the same to the wick as yours.

I need to buy some more shells to make a few more DIY geni atties for friends... As far as a Line, well I have two, one dedicated to PG/VG I use daily setup with #325 and one dedicated to AVE GJ setup w/ #400 mesh. I really like them, though I would prefer one just a little larger in diameter and a little shorter.

When converting the CE2 GiantOmizer the center pin seems to be the air intake, what do you all do with that?
You cut that off very short, solder the pos lead to it and seal it so it doesn't leak. Your air intake on the line is a small hole in the cover cap.

This has no center post, what you see is a flashh reflection.

Here it is installed in the sleeve.

Copper is not healthy, and yes silver is the best.

Thank you for the info,and I didn't think copper was good for vaping.I just had to check and make sure.The silver post that are on Led lights would they be okay to use.I have like a 100 of very long ones.I can post a picture if needed.

Yes they are ok but I use pure silver wire, it is softer and the coil wrap sticks to them better than the silver coated steel wire used on the Leds. You just have to accept a little more fidgeting when the coil gets loose.http://www.twistedjewels.com/main.sc
