Carto tanks - do they have seals?

[clockworks]

I've got a secondhand Arry clearo tank and a box of clearos. Unfortunately they are the wrong ones - too short!

I'm in two minds whether to order another box of the correct clearos, or modify the tank to fit cartos (I've got a lathe).

Can anyone tell me - does the carto tank use o-rings to seal the end caps to the carto tube, or does it just rely on the tube being a tight fit?

It uses o rings to seal it clockworks.

Thanks. One at each end between the carto tube and the cap, and another at each end to seal the cap to the tank tube?

Yes,thats exactly rite,it should be fairly easy to make it into a cartomiser tank,just make the bottom end cap wider to fit the carto.

Thanks for the info.

I'll give it a go if I can make a tool to cut the o-ring groove inside the end caps.

the only O rings that should be on the arry tank are between the clear tube and the black derlin top and bottom.
on a clearomizer their is a white silicone O already their which helps it seal against the black derlin bottom.
if your wanting to use cartomizers the hole will need to be made bigger but you dont need an O ring between the black derlin or cartomizer for these, i think ian may have read your first post wrong ?

I did indeed Camper.You are rite mate,i was thinking of the o rings that are already on the end caps that create a better seal for the tank.Sorry for the confusion,i did read that all wrong :-[
