So any idea on how long stuff from the states is taking to come...

Been waiting 9 business day for chibi tanks and still no sight or sound of them...

Getting just a wee bit upset now...

Getting through a carto every 30 hours or so without them

got fed up and obsessive this pm

Made a grommet/5ml plastic tank.....

Like the ones shown here only with the top cut off and some extra shaving on the bottom (so it leaks just a wee bit) so it fits a 1/2 inch grommet...

Got the grommets from the auto shop....quite expensive....but still (£1.49 for a set of two of 3/8 and 1/2 inch ones) so shall be ordering more half inch wiring grommets from ebay...


update - 7.41pm

Despite what well advising e-cig friends locally said....you only lose about 1ml in the carto change of these mods.

Refilling easier than previously thought. Just raise the tank...so that the carto top is below the grommet...take off the grommet and then it's a doddle....push the carto back above the top of the tank....push grommet onto carto and push back into tank with tweezers (would still prefer to wear gloves for this)...Drip tip on (don't know if it's advisable to put drip tip on before or after grommet. Guess it depends on the tip)....sorted...

Also checked the volume of these home made tanks. they hold 3ml at a push (due to the top inverting). 2.5ml comfortably...that's approx a whole day's vape for me so I'm happy

nice one Jane ...glad you had success ... hope your Chibi comes soon

Still going strong @ 11pm Gordy

And have ordered more parts to make more tanks ...so pray I'm successful...

Sort of modding I can do (can't do anything involving a soldering iron alas)

Also please scroll down to the classifieds where you'll find some of my o-rings for sale

Slight problem with air pressure...

You have to take the entire top grommet off to refill. there is no other way

Otherwise fine. Left it on a piece of paper overnight and no leaks...

Though how long it will last don't know...

have more grommets on order from ebay

It died...

The grommets from ebay (smart someone) were too big...

Any idea where I can get some grommets from that will fit an LR Kanger BC carto and not get loose (not 3/8 of an inch = too small)

Maybe this should be moved to modder area?

But the good news is phoned PV and they are going to send out replacement chibis for free :j

They are blaming USPS who are terrible at losing stuff right now

you could try screwfix as they do a selection of o'rings and grommets or a good place is maplin they have a selection of electrical grommets
