Ok I just got my new prototype tubes from my machine shop , and we hit them with a hammer , crushed them in a vise both ways and they DO NOT crack at all ! !

I increased the screw hole to a 6-32 size for easier filling , it still holds the tank in place so we have a win win here , this material is impervious to all kinds of compounds

Iv'e been lucky, I have 2 sets of Gray's and 2 sets of Flame's and they're going strong. I am not so much concerned with a batteries lifespan, but I do worry about gasses.

I hope I can find a HV or SR that will do it for me. Sashwa sent me some IKV SR 510 that ok and they're coming out with new SR 510's. I just haven't found anything as good as generic RL 306's....... for me.

I will confirm that.... your batteries worked great when I had them. They didn't last as long as the new powerizers I have now, but lasted longer then the first batteries I got and that was with two people vaping one buzz!

I do not have time now IF I want to get out some units , I have to evaluate the material first , might be a leap but we will see ??? I will have the new bottoms in tomorrow , I have to figure out how to swap them out now ??????????

Are those just the chrome bottoms... or did you get the forgotten brass as well?

Some of you may already know this method but for those that don't I wanted to let you know that hubby punched a few cartos for me yesterday using an awl (will not dent carto like nail ) and after I got used to using it with the small hole it is working quite well :)
That's what I ended up going with on my cartos. The nice thing is that if the hole is too small it's easy to drill it out larger.

I've been dripping almost exclusively for 2 months and primarily with LR 306's. Iv'e tried every every IKV HV except the 901's and can't find anything to match. I just got the new 510 HV and some more I06's (not good luck the first batch, soapy and very tight draw). Half a day on the 510 pretty good, but not as good as the 306. I'm giving it time and hopefully this will work great.

Iv'e been an hour on a new HV I06 and it's working well so far. A little tighter than I would like but no soap, good favor and good temperature.

The 3.5 ohm one is the one I like.
Model: Recommended for 5-6V
Average Rating: 5stars.



OK 2 1/2 days in and I might have found the holy Atty. I haven't found a carto with the flavor of most attys, and I haven't found an atty with the flavor of the I06.

Today I tasted in BWB Applewood that I've never tasted before. These are amazing. Switched said the LR I06 is the best atty he's ever tried. I'm going to have to try them again. I hope I don't like too much more than the HV's :laugh:

Sorry for highjacking this thread Mike......... Now back to your regularly scheduled Tank !

Ya, they pretty much shut the draw off if you don't I gotta turn mine over but I hope it's easier than the silver 901 to 510. I did 2 of those and the next one is still in two pieces.

The gold are MUCH easier to flip than the silver lol. They have a stiffer rubber in the middle. Ive come close to having a stroke flipping the silver ones lol.

My machine shop said he should have the parts done by wed. next week ! we will need a few days to put some together so most likely Friday.
