It would seem to me that if the hole was big enough for juice to get in it would flood the atty... that would have to be a very small hole!

It's a vacuum thing Rea 
Mark, I think 5C uses the XL 808s from Isaac and enjoys them...maybe he'll pop back in later and answer you.

I'll have to read the thread you posted. I'm supposed to be working now, so it will have to be later.
I just remember back in 2009 when we were modding atty's with tea bags and straws and the end was result was 9 out of 10 times the atty would flood!

I hear ya there! I am an atty idiot...hate dripping and fooling with them! But this idea intrigues me
I am very intrigued as well! If I can ever get myself back to working here I will read that thread as soon as I am done!
Couldn't say, I've never used one. If they're the same size as a standard carto I would say it would be too short (by a half inch). That doesn't mean it couldn't be made to work somehow. A 801 delrin whistle tip might close the gap enough to work also.
Same here, I'm not a fan of dripping. I prefer something I can fill and vape for awhile without having to mess around too much. I like this atty tank idea because atty's usually have much longer life than a carto but are still replaceable. Although I do get good amount of time from my CE2's with regular cleaning. It's not necessarily a new idea but most modders are focusing rebuild-able atty's in a tank system. That's great for people that have the know how (and tools/supplies) but this idea is better suited for the majority who just want something easy that works.I hear ya there!

Pokey has just built and tested a prototype using custom-cut polycarb tubing, grommets, a 306 and a tube cannibalized from a clearomizer in place of a 306 cart--and it works, thus far. I'm trying to drag her into the spotlight with it, but she's a modest, reluctant modder. In any event, the concept works.
It works - but not perfectly as I did not have any of the appropriate parts on hand. However, it has performed well enough that it has motivated me to try with the right components (an atty cart instead of a clearo, for instance) and I am hoping that perhaps the grommet I have used may be the ticket to bridging the gap between the cart in the tank and the top of the tank - and maybe even underneath the Delrin cap.
I do have a leakage problem - that has to do with the 306 not sitting snugly enough inside the clearo; I didn't have the proper size o-ring on hand...but that should be eliminated with using a specifically designed 306 cart. Or an i06 and its cart, if I should ever be lucky enough to grab one of those.
The atty does not flood. And it vapes like an atty - one that doesn't require dripping, squonking, or guestimating the amount of drops before getting that scorched throat burn from an almost dry hit.
I have pics...be kind, I am not a modder just a tinkerer. Give me a minute, I will find them ...

Yeah, both you and PI's guilt trip worked...LOL!
That bubbles you see is condensation inside the clearo. And, as with other clearos, while vaping you can see the vapor inside as well...
The modding is the purple jewel affixed to my Buzz Pro - I thought you of all people would have noticed that first and foremost, lol!

The modding ain't the jewelry--it's the inventiveness, the resourcefulness of using whatever materials that came to hand and making them work.
Does anyone recall Apollo 13, when a roomful of engineers had to improvise a carbon-dioxide filter out of a pile of assorted junk? That's modding, not tinkering.
Wow I can't believed I missed that! But I got t go with PI here, the pruple jewel is "bedazzeling", the rest is modding. And since when did you become so modest!! Stand up and take credit in true Pokey style!!!
No, it is a single clearo Mod. I used a large sewing needle to puncture holes through it just like MWA described doing to the carts in his video - that is how it feeds.
The grommet on top seals around the top of clearo and into the tank itself -- it leaves enough space for the DT to seat.
One trouble I ran into was that the 306 diameter is smaller than the ID of the clearo - and I didn't have the right size o-ring (or something) to seat it tight at the bottom of the clearo. It is close, though
The other trouble I had (which is why I went to using the grommets) is that the OD of the clearo is slightly larger than the cap holes on my "purchased" tanks, it must be a hair bigger than a 510 - otherwise I would have just slid the sucker into one of those ...

Bedazzling - I remember bedazzling jeans and such, lol.
Thanks for your kind words, Moorea. And you two, also, Mod and PI - Modest is the real Pokey shining through -- shhhhh....don't tell anyone!

Oh, gotcha. Yea, the clearo tubes are thicker than a standard 510 steel. The new tube on the latest version clearos is the same thickness as a 3ml BD syringe but stronger. I couldn't fit any of them in the M1A1. I have a ton of 3ml BD syringes to. lol I tested the fit of a 306 in BD Syringe and it's too loose but with the atty cap on it fits tight. Definitely not a replacement for the atty cap but it could work as an extender.

That's a good and interesting idea - I've got some 3ml syringes around here as well - my problem is that I only had the one 306 atty and have long since lost its cart.
But, if it fits snug into the syringe with it - that eliminates the problem of how to get it to reach the top of the tank - extending it to make it fit was something I was having troubles seeing around.
How would a DT work with that?
