Great vid, Sissy! I think when people get the other tanks they think they need to just slide the carto in and out of these, like they do with those. That's fine until you discover that ease of sliding also means that the tank could also slide off easily, leaving a mess in your pocket or purse.
And you showed well that you don't need to shove the grommet waaay in there- you just have to get it in a little past the red o-ring.
I'd like to pass on a couple of tips I've learned since I got my first one this past January.
- Assembling while warm and wet works good.
- For those finger strength challenged, you can use either side of an ego cone for assembly.
- If you have a hard plastic narrow drip tip like mine, it's easy to put it on the carto first, then slide the top grommet on.
-And, if you bought bulk reg. size cartos, like me, before the XL's came out- you CAN use the larger tank with them- just do like above and put the drip tip on first.
-I don't like using needles, so I use a screw-on 14ga. needle adapter for my bottles.
- If your cartos are lasting 1-4 weeks like some folks you can forgo most of this and just buy a new assembled tank.
Hubby's gonna kill meeeeeeeeeeee
