quick replacement tank for stardust

[trevor148]

my stardust tank split the second time I took the core out to re-wick. So I managed to find a replacement in an ego carto. I simply knocked out the 510 connection and ground the top down till the ego plug fit snug with the stardust's rubber piece on top. Only issue I'm having is it doesn't fit snug with my battery less than a quarter inch of gap between the battery and the tank so you can see the cone threading.

Looks like a good fix, what brand of carto is that?

It is a smoktech carto. Normal ego size not mega.

A few changes are needed to prevent leaks. As it was it could tilt to the side and start leaking so I added a #36 o-ring and made a small cut to the inner plug. First the o-ring it should be placed on the center post as you can see in the picture you place it just above where the center post widens. For the plug you just need to remove enough material for the silicone plug of the stardust core to fit in the very end. These two changes will add stability and help prevent leaks.
