Only with an adapter I think. The thread is for a 701 tip, but an adapter is available to convert it to take a standard 510 drip tip at capitate.com
adapters specifically designed and made for this project are available here:
701 mouth piece to 510/901 drip tip adapter
oops i didnt see he was out of stock phooy....

Sorry about the mis-spell....sent this from my android and just noticed it was wrong. I meant to type vapor-age.com. I don't know how it auto-corrected to capitate.
Haha, and I was googling around for that capitate, thinking there was a new source I'm going to have to improvise something on my own I think.

I know if you drill out the 701 mouthpiece with the right drill bit (8mm I think, it's posted somewhere on here so you will want to double check that) a std. 510 drip tip will fit in and work just fine if you do now want to buy an adapter from vapor-age. You can also snap off flat part of the 701 mouthpiece and use a file to make the hole the right size too
Or you can cut the mouthpiece of the 701 part off (the flat part) drill it out to the outter diameter of a 510 atty, then cut a small piece off the end of a 510 atty or carto and glue it to the inside, gives a much more stable and airtight fit.
I don't suppose anyone who has successfully used the silca rope as a wick instead of the mesh has any pictures of their setup or can take a picture of their setup? I would like to try this but my previous attempt failed because I couldn't get the rope through the hole to the tank. Since then Sturm said he uses the mesh to transport the liquid from the tank to the silca wick, but I am not quite sure how this would work.
A picture is a thousand words. 8)
I have a bunch of CE2 clearomizers, so I was hoping to use the rope from them.

It is 8.7mm

Set up my GTank with the clearomizer silca rope tonight.
I kept the wire coil on my last failed mesh attempt.
Cut the failed mesh wick into three smaller pieces. Tightly rolled the smaller pieces over the rope ends.
Threaded the rope through the coil.
Attached the coil to the neg and pos posts. Checked the ohms, 1.9.
Took the coil end mesh off and and pulled the rope through so it coils near the end of the rope.
Threaded the other end through the tank hole.
Filled tank with juice.
took Centre mesh off the rope.
looped the other end back, slightly poking back into the tank hole.
Fed the loop into the tank and started vaping.
So far so good. I'm interested in seeing how long the favor will last.

Very similar to what I was thinking except I continued the wire up the wick to help provide vertical support like this:
The wire/kanthal also helps to secure the 400 SS mesh to the top of the wick for easier insertion/removal so the SS does not get pulled off. Also it helps with the stability of vertical support so it does not fall over and stands straight like the SS mesh does.
Thoughts?

I thought the coil in the tank would heat the juice but then I realized that the other end is not connected the other post so there will be no connection. I will definitely give it a try. So does that mean that we are actually heating the wick and not the SS mesh?

Yeah its funny, I had the centre piece of mesh wrapped around, as I was thinking maybe use it to support the rope wick through the tank hole, but once I fed it through, I thought take it off instead. The pre-coiled coil seemed sturdy and supported the end of the rope nicely between the posts.
So far so good. It should be interesting when I re-fill the tank. The rope will be soggy.
Sturm did a video with wick only he made it wet so it stood up on its own and the end was tapered to go through the hole, and it wasnt very long either just enough to go through the hole a little a 1/4 inch maybe
Don't suppose you have the link handy do you mate? The only one I found is the one of him firing the Atty with fibre bare, not inserted into the tank.
Cheers.
well waking up this morning and trying my rope version, the flavor is not as good as with the SS mesh. Had to do a few dry burns to clean it up.
I have to say though, its nice to not have any shorts what so ever. A lot less fiddly than attempting with the mesh. I just opened the chamber and the coil glows evenly across the rope. Stays solid at 1.9oHms.

I have to say it again: German engineering is one of the best in the world. Still on my first coil after using it on a daily basis for two weeks, running at 2.8 ohm, the Genesis is a beast!! Should be getting XC-4 next week and will make a mesh and wick version...Until now totally satisfied. Great Great flavor, massive thick clouds of warm Vapor!!
