Questions????????

You could use flanged cartos with it if you wanted to slide the bottom delrin piece over the whole body of the carto to the bottom each time, which would kind of be a PITA. See pbusardo's video on YouTube of the Mini Sub tank and you'll see his little experiment, it takes over 4lbs of force to get the carto to come out of this tank - ergo, you don't need a flanged carto

They are not delrin end caps, they are vinyl grommets. Delrin is a hard plastic whereas the grommets on the Sub tanks are very flexible vinyl grommets. Also, they slide over the cartos very easily when the tank is not in place. Just the grommet will slide down over the carto with little to no resistance, but once you put the polycarbonate tank in place it squeezes everything together and "locks" it all in place.

Appreciate the response, but I'm still a little confused. I'm not asking if it's possible to use flanged cartos, I'm asking if the bottom of the tank is cut for them, like every other tank I've seen. I've watched Phil's review of them a couple of times, but he never really touches on that aspect, or shows any close-ups of the bottom. I'm guessing it's not cut, which would be kinda unique, but if not, that makes me wonder why nobody's pointed that difference out (non-flanged cartos are cheaper, which would be a selling point, one would assume).

Most tanks are not, in fact, cut for the flanged cartos. I have three tanks here that are not Mom and Pop's and none of them are cut for the prprietary SmokTech cartos. There's only one company that makes them and most people who make tanks don't want to limit their customer base by only working with one particular model of one particular brand of cartomizer.

There are a lot of people "rebranding" the cheap SmokTech DCT's, but they all come off the same line...

Do you ever plan on carrying the colored swirled-color drip belly type drip tips?

I'm curious - ....and blond.....what is a bottom feeder?

 

[pwyll]

It is a personal vaporizer that feeds an atomizer or cartomiser through the air-hole in the bottom of the connector.

Thanks pwyll - followed the link and got all I needed to know.

 

[pwyll]

For people that like 'em, they're awesome (got a couple myself). But they are very much like tanks in the sense that the learning curve is different for everyone and some people just cannot stand them at all...

I can help with this one it feeds juice from the bottom

I would like to ask about the tanks. I asked about how to clean one, and someone had posted it was as simple as disassembly-duh! (Right? ) So I easily cleaned mine all up. But, how do you guys get them back together so perfectly? Mine is reassembled, and it works great with no leaks, but it definitely does not look as pretty as when Pop sent it to me. The black rubber rings aren't as straight...how do I get them perfectly even again? Any tricks the experts would like to offer up?

 

[VaVaunt]

Thank you for the consideration for the swirly drip tips Pop. They are so nice, don't you think?

1 Slowly move around the perimeter pushing in just a little at a time to keep it even
2 Practice

It gets much easier to make it "look pretty" very quickly, but not having the lip on it like the hard-capped tanks means you can't just pop it in and have it look perfect. Of course on a hard-capped tank if there is even a tiny flaw in the tank or cap it will never look perfect and that can be adjusted for with these. You can also fudge on the size a little if you let the grommet "hang out" a bit. One of the advantages to these tanks is the wide range of adjustability...

OH!! good lord pwyll Thank you sir if you should ever go away i will post a Wanted Alive poster kind like this one LOL

OH!! I see you in nu town

Dude, that wouldn't work--I haven't looked like that since the 9th grade...

OH!! I see you in nu town

Kewl! Will I be seeing you or are you gonna hide out for a while?

 

[P0P]

i will see you there that would be fun looks like a nice place. I love the paint job heehee

 

[P0P]

OH we have swirl drip tips coming and a bunch of other cool stuff. I had scuba buy the new variable volt from smoke tech to try. I hope its good i have not seen anything on it yet

I'm having a weird problem with my mini-sub. After about a month of use, I noticed after I filled it and started vaping this morning that air bubbles were coming from the thumbscrew hole, not the carto. Could the poly tube be stretching from the screwing and unscrewing of the thumbscrew?

 

[pwyll]

The polycarbonate tube is not going to stretch, it's just not how the molecular structure of polycarbonate works. On the other hand, either the screw or (more likely) the poly tank's threading could be wearing from use--especially if you're over-tightening or twisting at an angle. Also, considering the effect some juices have on polycarbonate, I can see the possibility of microscopic stress fractures from over-tightening. And keep in mind that considering the size and tolerance of the threads involved, "over-tightening" may not actually be tight--just too tight for the materials involved.

Personally speaking, if it's not leaking juice I wouldn't worry about it. On the other hand, I have a couple of the tanks I haven't used yet--if you'd like I'll trade a new one for yours. I'm kind of curious to look at it to see what's going on exactly, especially since figuring it out for sure could be helpful to a lot of people...

 

[joeman]

A question on juice? For us unfortunate vg users, how much pg do you add for your grape? Thanks and will be ordering a couple of tanks soon!!!

 

[P0P]

Hi joeman
Welcome to Mom and Pops you can use the comments section and have Tami make your juice the way you like it if you want mostly vg she will do that for you most flavorings we use do have some pg but in the end its not much the only pg will be in the flavoring. Hope that helps
