Poor Mans Easy Cheesy Clearomizer Tank Mod

[John Phoenix]

This mod will double the amount of liquid you can use in a filler type clearomizer Yes, it's easy, it's cheesy but best of all it works and you already have all the things you need and don't even know it. You can do this to single and dual coil clearomizers.

It's So easy, a caveman can do it. (sorry Bob) It's so cheesy, The cheetos guy would be proud. (sorry Fred)

All your doing is extending the tube one more length by adding another tube on top of your existing clearomizer. This assumes you have a clearomiser with dead coils you can use or are willing to use the tube from a good one. You need two clearomisers or clear cartomisers for this, one good, one bad. Other things you need are a carto condom (the white shipping cap from a new cartomiser) and a pair of scissors.

First you remove the tube from the bad carto by gently rocking it back and forth to losen it from the threaded atty body. It's easiest to do this with the clearomiser threaded onto a battery. Carefully unroll the filler material away from the coils then roll it back up and slide it back into the tube. Toss the bad coil part. Next simply cut the bottom out of a carto condom and use it for a sleeve to connect the two tubes. Make sure the two tubes are touching and are well onto the sleeve. Use something to push the filler down the tube so that it touches the filler of the first tube. Fill with e-liquid. Poof your done. (works best if the first carto is already filled.)

This will give you a 3 to 4 inch long tube for your liquid and may look silly but who cares, it works.

I know what your thinking.. "That is so easy and cheesy it cannot work!" Yet, it does. I have discovered why we need the filler besides just for wicking. The filler material holds back the juice so the weight of the juice does not cause it to run out of the bottom of the carto.

You can overfill it to the point where the filler material cannot handle the weight and it will start to leak anyway, but normally filling just to the top of the filler material is fine. I did this with a dual coil and it had one small leak, after a few vapes it stopped leaking. Any leaks you get will be from the bottom of the atty not from the sleeve you made, these work great.

It is vital that you make sure not to overfill the top filler material and make sure it is touching the bottom filler or it will not wick properly. It should work fine as long as you don't bang it around too much.

This will work with regular cartomisers too as long as you have a tube and filler material to use with it.

Tune in next time for more, E-cig Cheese Theater!

127 people have seen this and so far i'm shocked no one has said anything.. too cheesy? How about thats a horrible idea or thats so simple i'd be embarrassed to walk around with something like that.. I have seen way worse mods that don't even work, this silly idea at least does work to double your juice capacity of your carto.

How bout it.. what do you guys think?

Made a dual carto version yesterday and i'm still hitting on it... this thing hold at least 5 ml.

Well allot have seen but said nothing as this tank mod was originally posted in open forum in Nov of 2010 by Gummy Bear. James the guy that "developed" the liquinator says he did not know about Gummys design does not troll the ECF etc... But the designs are pretty much identical. It is possible James thought of this on his own, but he claims he used no one’s else ideas. Well without others ideas, map tank, madvapes ce2 tank, stomys tank etc... to build on he would not have come up with the idea. So a few people around here are touchy about intellectual theft, so that is why nobody has probably posted. Also everyone is glued to other dramas around here like it was some daytime soap they'd might miss.
Me I am a modder, I do not use cartos or ce2's anymore so this does not interest me.

Huh? This little thing doesn't resemble the liquinator in any way shape or form, all that did for me was get me thinking about how I could enlarge the juice capacity. This was the simplest, easiest thing I could come up with. I have read Gummy Bears posts and cant find one where he or anyone else suggested stacking a tube on top of another the way I did. Not to say it hasn't been suggested but I haven't seen it yet.

This post is not about a homemade version of the liquinator.. perhaps people are seeing that at the top and not reading the whole post. I only mentioned that cus that was the catalyst that got me thinking about the problem. I'll delete that first line and then see where this goes.

Sdh, i'd like to know what you edited out.

 

[Sdh]

I wanted to see photos...but didn't want to cause any problems....so I edited....but since you asked....

 

[harmonic]

ok then how do you maintain the airflow through the top batting without gurgles. is there a visible air passage through the top batting?

 

[alekos557]

If it works...then it isn't stupid wildman,
I personally have had nothing but problems
with ce2s, and g4s. Ant fix is a good fix.

 

[TomCatt]

Ooohhhh, OK. Guess ya gotta step lightly 'round here nowadays.

John, Haven't tried the DCs yet, but have been thinkin' 'bout gettin' some. I'll second the pics and da question 'bout airflow through da top carto.

Sounds like a good idea and I would give it a shot. Also how stable is the carto condom connection?

 

[QBass]

John, you are right. This is absolutely cheesy in it's simplicity! It's just basically tossing a gutted carto on top of a working one and adding filler to increase e-juice storage capacity, isn't it? I've never actually heard of a clearomizer with this kind of filler, though (but I'm a noob). I'm really sorry for the attitude that's been thrown at you. If your description is actually read, it would be seen this obviously doesn't step on any toes or dilute anyone's fame. After all, I don't see anybody in here giving props to Alessandro Volta. We all stand on the shoulders of countless giants, and sometimes things can just get silly.

BTW, I do understand the liquinator/Gummy Bear issue. This post is quite obviously in no way related.

I think John is talking about the clear tube dual coils not Clearomizers......

Sorry if I jumped the gun, just thought this was another liquinator post, and you asked why no one was posting, so I thought I give you an answer. I guess I was not the only one.
As I have said in the past...
Pics or it did not happen.

[Katdarling]

I would love to see a pic tutorial.

And cheese is a good thing.

Hmmm, stilton with apricots in the fridge.

Hungry, bye for now

@ OP, I have nothing against your mod, and haven't tried it yet...so many tanks, ce2, smart carts, G4, etc, too many to list...on hand and with various tweaks. I was considering how to use your mod but also how to tweak it.

The vapor being drawn through the upper portion without an air passage would seem to be an issue. Was thinking if trying the inner tube from a G4 carto to extend the center tube. Still thinkin' of how to implement the attachment.

 

[John Phoenix]

Asking for pics would not have caused problems. Unfortunately I don't have a way to take pics.

Just imagine one tube sitting on top of the carto with the condom sleeve connecting them and its filler material pushed all the way down to touch the other filler.

It's actually stupidly simple and I wish I could take pics.

 

[John Phoenix]

I think John is talking about the clear tube dual coils not Clearomizers......

Robert

Exactly.. I use the terms interchangeably. I have seen product descriptions call them either or both. This is the clear tube type carto with the filler material. You can use regular cartos, single or dual or use the plastic body clear tubes, it doesn't matter but the plastic tubes are easier to remove from the atty body.

 

[John Phoenix]

You don't have problems with the air getting through the filler material Because.. you don't really have an air passage to begin with.. except for the tiny holes in the filler material itself..( The center column does form a tube but it doesn't go through and this is not the only reason why you get air flow) Have you ever taken apart a clear carto ( or regular carto dual or single) - they do not have air passage tubes.

It only looks that way if you look at one from the top down but take one apart and you will see, that tube thing your looking at is not a solid straw like tube that goes all the way through to the bottom - it's just a small piece to help cover the coil so it doesn't burn the filler material. Take one apart and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Fact is it's the porous filler material itself that lets the air flow.

If it would not leak, I could stack 3 tubes on top of each other this way and have a 8 inch long mega tube. The only way you get gurgling at all is to fill the juice above the top of the filler material. If I had a 8 inch tube and filler material it would still work fine as long as I didn't fill over the top.

No need for an extra inner tube Stosh, the filler material does the trick. If you fill above the top of the filler material you lose the ability to have air flow access to the porous filler material.

John, you are right. This is absolutely cheesy in it's simplicity! It's just basically tossing a gutted carto on top of a working one and adding filler to increase e-juice storage capacity, isn't it?

Yep that's all it is.. a homemade extra large cartomizer or clear tube cartomizer or clearomizer.

People don't see why i'm calling the clear tube cartomizer a clearomizer but thats what filler type clear cartos were called before the wick type came out, it's just now the wick type is more popular to use with that term. It was a cart-o-mizer with a clear tube body hence clear-o-mizer instead of cart-o-mizer.

Perhaps a Mod will do me a favor and change the word "clearomizer" in my title to "Cartomizer/Clear Tube Cartomizer"

I don't know how i'm gonna do this but I will work on getting a pic for you guys.

 

[roadrash]

If your looking for a longer clearo-whatever. Prolly be easier to use a one piece 3mil syringe. It's just about double the size of a reg dc. :>)

Yep. I thought of mentioning that and that will work great. See, I thought why fuss with all the tank stuff when you can have something that works with the stuff you already have on hand in less than 5 minutes. This was just a fast easy cheap way to do it. Stacking a dual size tube on top of another works fine but too much more than that and the filler starts to lose the ability to hold the weight of the liquid back and it will leak. I think this could be corrected by using different filler material though.

Still hitting on the one I made with a dual carto and dual tube from two days ago.

Some folks don't like the taste a filler carto gives at all. I'd like to make something else so simply that doesn't use any filler or wick at all if possible. I haven't even tried the CE2's yet but I bet you could do something similar with them.
