I wouldn't consider this a "mod". It's just an adaption of existing stuff. My apologies if I have placed this in the wrong sub-forum.
This is a very simple procedure that results in using an existing 510/901 drip tip with the 306 atomizer. It requires no special tools and anyone can make one in a matter of minutes. I made this with the TorneGo in mind but it will work with any PV, methinks. No need for pics as this is as straight forward as can be.
First step is to remove the connector from a discarded 510 atomizer. I managed to break the sleeve of the atomizer free off the connector without so much as scratching the paint by insulating the jaws of a pair of pliers with a paper towel. I *did* use my vise to squeeze/hold the threaded portion of the connector while I worked the sleeve free. There are probably other methods available to those who don't have a vise on hand. A vice grip and a pliers, maybe. Or the connector can be drilled out... whatever floats your boat. The goal is to have the 510 sleeve in hand and still round. =)
Next (and last) step is to utilize the mouthpiece that ships with the 306 atomizer. We're going to cut this to size by matching it up to the length of the 510 sleeve and deduct the distance that the T-Tip fits into the 510 sleeve. IOW, the bottom of the T-Tip is going to .... up against the cut end of the 306 atty sleeve when it's together. Call it a heavy 1/8" shorter than the 510 atty sleeve. (obviously, we're cutting off the part of the mouthpiece that has the small hole since we don't want that anymore)
Install the freshly cut 306 mouthpiece (now simply a plastic sleeve) as normal. Install your existing 510/901 T-Tip to the 510 atty sleeve. Slide the 510 sleeve over the 306 sleeve until the bottom of the T-Tip butts against the top of the 306 sleeve. Done deal.
A nice caveat here is that the 510 atty sleeve covers most of the 306's sleeve and reaches nearly all of the 306's hub adding some retention to the assembly. Another is that there is no added length to the PV. Yet another is putting to use those discarded 510s. =)
I wanted to retain the cone of the eGo with the 306 for a few reasons. First is how it tightens the draw. Second is the aesthetics. And third is the mess factor. I like not having to continually wipe liquid that seeps out. This meets all that criteria in one fell swoop.
