Too small.I'm not a big fan of a fill hole in the silica cap.In my experance if its layed on its side it leaks out the whole.Thats why the ones I have like that I plug.:lol:

Gotcha, that was my experience too when I tried out the Scubagen in terms of leaking out thru the fill hole if I didn't keep it upright.

Maybe that hole in threads will work like you mentioned in the other thread if not too much trouble nor causes leaks, since he's going back to the hole in the cap.

I wonder if it's possible to use an o-ring on the threads and slip the cap on vs. screwing them down? That way you can adjust the cap and where the air hole is since some like it in one place than others and that way it would make it easier for him to just drill them the correct height vs. having to screw on each and make sure the hole is where the majority of people use it. From what I hear, if you move the vent hole in one place it gives you a hellacious TH but not much vapor and move it the opposite side and it give you the vapor but not much TH, would be nice to alternate for those stressful days at work when you need a good kick LOL

Hey, wanna see something neat? Back in the day before Chopper was a forum supplier, he put up a Genesis Mini clone in the classifieds. He didn't make it. I'm not sure where he got it -- co-op or something I guess. But the Gen was flaky. When I got it, there was a short in the connector.

I mentioned it to Chopper. I was prepared just to chalk it up to bad luck and caveat emptor and all that, but Chopper graciously offered to repair it for me.

I got it back. He did an excellent job with the repair, replacing the crappy little flimsy 510 connector with a Go-Go connector, then employing a Go-Go to 510 adapter. The connector is all stainless steel and rock solid sturdy now. He also replaced the well-worn wires with new silver while he was at it.

With the first package, the one I originally received as a result of Chopper's classified ad, I also got what appeared to be a beta of the Defcon Mini. Since this is a Defcon Mini thread and all, I'll toss in the obligatory picture of early Defcon-ness as well as a couple more pics of the Gen Mini clone.

The new version of the DC has a pressure release metal tube in it.So anyone that will be getting them from here on out.You can use a syringe in that metal tube to fill.Some have the upgrades now with it.So please try it and let everyone know how it works for you.You can use a 18 or 20 gauge needle,20 would be better.

Great solution and can't wait...
