Wet Box Tubing and Cartomizer attachment

[aarik]

Where can i get some tubing for a wet box project?
I would prefer to walk into a store rather than buy online, but so far no luck at home depot and hobby store.

Also, how would i connect it to a cartridge or cartomizer?


thanks,

One way of getting some locally requires disecting a bbq lighter. Should be enough for a project in there. Just drill a small hole in the cart and press fit tubing inside. I'm sure more will chime in with tips but it's a start.

I use this tubing which was recommended to me by Nico. Works great for cart feeding, but with a drip tip it slips around a bit too much for me so I plan on using this stainless steel tubing that turned out too large for a bottom feeder project. I'm going to try and bend it and flare the end(think brake lines) so that it drips perfectly every time....at least that's the plan.

Some hobby stores will have small tubing as well. It's used for RC planes etc for fuel line. I checked out some silicone tubing locally, but got turned off by the 'known to cause cancer in California' label.

depending on how small the tube is, I have few suggestions. Radio Shack has solid wire teflon tubing. Try tubing from a spray bottle. Some farm and fleet stores have nice selection of tubing. Teflon tubing is probably your best choice and it is easiest to find online. Another choice could be a hardware store plumbing or electrical supplies.

Well if you are looking to replicate the wet box by missy you can just use a 20ga blunt needle with a luer and pop it in the cap of a 3ml bottle. Then just attach some aquarium tube. If you are looking to top feed use the inside tube of a bbq lighter or squirt gun, which both can be bought at any dollar store and drill a hole in your cart and jam it in there. Would also recommend the RC hobby store option if you have any around town. You can usually find some neat stuff. Good luck!
