The chip leaves some to be desired but I like the look so much that I suck it up.

Lol.
Based on a Grimm Green review, the SVD was the first external battery mod I ever bought. It came from FT. Bought all the battery sizes to go with it. One month later the fire button failed. Returned it only have the second one fail, as well.Came to find out the second run of these had the button design replaced with an inferior one.

I bought one somewhat as a lark, after I'd already had a few Provaris in hand, but traded it away. I replaced it because I regretted the decision. It's been since but I'd be lying if I said it got a taxing amount of action. It's more for fun than anything else.
I've got a v2 too (tutu!) but I never use it. It's been sitting in a box since almost the day we got them. One day, down the line, I'll get rid of it.
Luckily. I picked up a lifetime supply of cartos (12 bricks) when times were good. (being 80 yo helps with that)
So I'll check back on this thread when I'm 157 yo to see what rock is hot at the time.

Smart! I've actually got quite a few that only have one punched hole, I've tried adding another with my punch tool but it never works. Wish I could figure out how to save them.
I vote for Zenith Z80 and Zenith II tank, great set up for MTL. BTW I still have cartos and Carto tanks too
It's easy to add a second hole. Pick up a "saddle punch" at any plumbing supply store (bought mine at Lowes 10 years ago)
Ohhh, I think I have one of those already. Will give it a try. The purpose built one I bought does not work.It's easy to add a second hole. Pick up a "saddle punch" at any plumbing supply store (bought mine at Lowes 10 years ago)
Glad I'm not the only one. I've tried so many tanks, but I much prefer the tighter draw from the carts, aggravating as they can be.I vote for Zenith Z80 and Zenith II tank, great set up for MTL. BTW I still have cartos and Carto tanks too
Yep. Used the heck out of those. Got to where I needed to sharpen the point with a sharpening stone. After that, I became adept at just using blue deck screws and a hammer. Carved out a nice groove in my work bench and away I went.

I just thought of something you need to be made aware of. Carto tanks get their airflow from the 510 thread so you need to use mods that have air cuts on the 510 connections. The Coolfire z80 has these air cuts, so no big deal. But the Z50 doesn't.
There are a few ways around this problem, but the easiest one is to use a 510 heat sink that has airflow cuts, like these. Using a 510 heat sink w/air cuts on the Z50 will give you the airflow you need for the carto tanks. Of course, the down side is that it will add a little more weight to your setup and will add height to your tank.
The 2 other solutions require modification...
1) Use a dremmel/rotary tool with sanding disk or cut-off wheel to cut a couple/few airflow slots in the Z50's 510
2) Use a dremmel/rotary tool with sanding disk or cut-off wheel to cut 2 airflow slots in the bottom/base of your carto tank right next to the 510 airflow holes.
And actually, look at the Z80 pics, I see the airflow cuts that go toward the 510 thread don't actually go the whole way so there is a chance you still need the 510 heat sink when using the carto tank on it. Not sure.
Lots of mods these days don't have airflow cuts because no one really makes 510 airflow tanks anymore. Airflow is usually on the side of the tank (top or bottom).

Then you actually might prefer using 1 of the original Zenith 4mL tanks or the Zenith D22 tank (available in 2mL and 3mL). I definitely prefer a tighter draw, too. It's why those particular Zenith tanks are the ones I have the most of, in my vape stash.

Just cut those air slots in the bottom of the carto tank. Problem solved.............
Interesting. I'll get the Z80 I guess.@WVvet

I actually got some stronger "reading glasses" from dollar tree... $1 and they work great.Need to get new glasses
