Well,
The gf and I were running low on a few flavors. I've seen videos on youtube of people taping cartomizers together with a ziplock bag to remove liquid and other things.
I figured I could do better. I had everything laying around, and just whipped it together in a few minutes.
Pretty much, it's an adjustable sling to spin around and use centripetal force to move liquid around. I made it large enough 10-15ml bottles fit as well as the reusable bottles with the needle at the end. I necked the end down but not closed for those bottles. Cartomizers and a container fit as well.
Body is 3m 3:1 adhesive lined heatshrink for 6-0/1 gauge wiring, cord is US-made 550 paracord, and the smaller pieces of heat shrink are 1/4" I believe.
It worked amazingly well. Bottles that were 'empty' but had a few drops stuck to the side on shoulders or on the bottom were tried first. The most I got was 12 drops, the least was 8. Better than tape and a shoestring, as I've seen a few others do!
I cut 2 opposed 2" long slots about 1/4" wide to be able to grab and push the bottles out, as it's a tight fit, and the inner lining of the tube is a hot-glue type adhesive that is a bit tacky.
From the ~6 'empty' bottles we had, we got over 60 drops of fluid out. Not bad for 5 minutes of work!
Let me know what you guys think!
