Homemade Magma Cart Caps

[CB_Alice]

What I used:

3/8 inch heat-shrink (shrinkable to 3/16)
11/32 (or Size S) Round Shank Drill bit
Scissors
Heatgun
Duckbill (toothless) pliers
Water (optional)


What I did:

Cut heatshrink into 3/4 inch piece.
Slid 1/2 inch of heatshrink on Shank end of drill bit.
Used heatgun to shrink heat-shrink around drill bit.
Used pliers to flatten and close 1/4 inch of heatshrink extending over drill, thus creating a pull tab
Used water to cool heatshrink for easy removal.
Trimmed cap to desired size.


Notes:

1/4 inch tab aids in removing cap.
1/4 inch tab is flexible enough to fit in M-Pack.
Cap fits girth of cartridge.

Heatshrink needs to be twisted off of drill bit as pulling on tab will shrink diameter of cap.


Edited and (tried to) add picture...
I used paint-pens to mark caps for different e-fluids.

Added link to picture instead

Cool cap mod!!!!

I gotta admit tho, this may be the only time we see the word 'girth' being used in an ecig forum...

Used girth to try and explain without a picture that cap fits on the outside and not inside the outside as compared to some cap fittings.

Picture is there now, so you can ignore 'girth'.

Not bad for someone who's only been vaping since Apr 5, 2010?
