This DIY project was created out of necessity to eleviate "Spitty" juices from getting from the atty to my mouth. Current set-up. PROVARI/ HH 357 2.0ohm and 3.0ohm hybrid 510 supplied from AvidVapor/ High drain 18650 3.7V battery. With the standard non "longbarrel" version of the HH357 atty many have been getting, (Including myself) Funky juice kicked/spewed back into the mouth. The HH 357 is a beast of an atty and that is really the only negative point I can make. Frustrated with the consistent juice injestion I devised a quick and easy way to eleviate the problem using a few parts that pair together amazingly. Parts list: 1.1ea 810 atty (you don't mind parting with) 2. 1ea Silicone shipping cap (the ones that cover both ends of a 510 cartomizer) 3. 1ea 810 drip tip Tools: 1. Needle nosed pliers (or equivalent) 2. Robo grip (or equivalent) 3. Dowel or screw driver 4. Wire cutters (or scissors) 3. Paper towel (or equivalent) as cushion Steps: 1. Remove 810 connection point (threaded cap side) utilizing the pliers and Robo grips. Ensure that you use paper towel as a cushion/buffer to avoid metal to metal contact between the grips and the atomizer tube to avoid making cosmetic damage to the 810 tube. Utilize the pliers to jimmy off the 810 connection. This will take some elbow grease as the connector is often glued into place. Don't worry about the connector getting damaged. You will be scrapping it anyway. 2. After you have successfully taken of the connector you will have to push the innards of the 810 out with the dowel or screwdriver. Push down through the mouthpiece as most or all 810's are tapered at the mouth-end and take out the innards. Scrap. Clean the inside funky stuff by any means possible. I utilized a dry paper towel and inserted it through the connection end and diligently stuffed it through to give it a good scrubbing. If you have pipe cleaners that fit the size that will work too. Set your 810 tube aside. MOST IMPORTANT STEPS: Creating the rubber seal. Utilizing the parts I had on hand I noticed that the silicone rubber 510 carto shipping caps I had lying around fit perfectly (as they should) around any 510 sized tube. ALSO, when mated with the 810 tube (connector end only) it created a perfect seal!! Now let's get to making that seal!!! 1. Take your 510 shipping cap and push the closed side inwards towards the open end. (Inside out but not ALL the way inside out.) 2. You will notice that the shipping cap on the inside has excess rubber in the center protruding on the closed end, use this as a point of reference. Utilized the down to get the "inside out"process started push until the "Closed end" of the shipping cap is almost flush with the "Open end" of the shipping cap. 3. You will notice that the Closed end is showing some stress discoloration where it naturally bends. There should be noticeably at least two places where it should look noticeably "Whiter" in color at opposite ends of the Closed end of the cap. Use this as your next point of reference. 4. Utilizing the discoloration points at opposite ends of the closed end that you have almost turned inside out. Use your Wire cutters or scissors to make one clean (pinching) cut from both discoloration points. 5. Push the Closed End of the shipping cap back into it's normal position. 6. You should now have an elliptic/oval hole in the Closed end of the shipping cap. ASSEMBLE: 1. Take your newly made seal and place it over the 510 atty of your choice. 2. Assemble your 810 drip tip to the 810 tube you scavenged. 3. Place assembled 810 snuggly over the rubber seal. (THE END) I have posted this modification for all those with parts that are ready for the garbage bin. And for all the drippers that get that Yucky surprise from overactive juices. As a novice DIY'er this is an easy enough project. I tried to be as clear as possible as I do not want to take photos of each step. HOWEVER...Should anybody want step by step pics showing what I am describing above. Feel free to respond. Good luck and Happy Holidays to all you VAPEHEADS!!! ^,^
