I think I've invented a pretty good modification for using a shorty cart in a tank. I liked the idea because it always seemed inefficient to me to have a hole in the bottom of the cart with all that filler above it. Here's what I do:
I punch a hole in the shorty 1/3 from the top(using a drip tip when I punch it so it doesn't get flattened by the punch). I rip the guts out of an old stainless cart and stack it right on top of the shorty using an old carto cap with the end cut off as the joint. What I am describing next is simply how I make an extention to the shorty so it can be used in a tank:
I prime the shorty, push it thru the bottom of the tank (with the top removed from the tank), push on the carto cap to just above the punched hole. I take the gutted carto, shove it thru the tank top(the top is off) with the threaded end downward. I insert the end of the carto into my carto cap "pipe joint" leaving enough of a gap between tank and top to fill it with liquid. Then I fasten on the cap. The nice thing about this is that the shorty feeds from near the top, yet the hole is near the bottom of the tank. Thsi makes for a pretty consistant good hit. On the rare occasions it does need primed, I simply pull the carts apart slightly and suck, making sure I don't pull the "extension"(the gutted carto) out of the pipe joint. The shorty doesn't flood when the two carts are butted together and the old cap is used as a joint, but its not an airtight seal, so it allows you to perform this little trick. I f I want to change a shorty when the tank is still full, I just disconnect the tank, invert it, pull it out and insert a pre punched, primed replacement. It will slide right into the sleeve. If the carto cap "pipe joint" gets out of place, just slide the whole arangement in the tank to reposition it.
This works very well for me, and I get a pretty consistant vape.
