Here it is
Made from a DollarStore 3 for a dollar Ball Point Pen, and maybe even enough left over material to make another.

The pen screws apart into 2 major pieces.
Several options on where to cut it but I decided to use one of my CE2-510, regular length cartos.

Using a cheap needle file from my $3 set from Harbor Freight, I made a cut into the Stainless Steel shell and picked up a small tip of the metal. Then made a shallow cut all the way around the carto with the file. Using a pair of DollarStore Pliers pulled the strip of metal around the carto. Remove the o-rings and remove the carto guts.

Using the same file, I marked the clear part of the pen and using a Harbor Freight hacksaw blade (3 for $1) cut off the part I wanted. Smoothed (I don't use the term smoothered anymore) the cut edge with some sandpaper (you girls could use an emery board).

Ready to assemble.

Flavor. Vapor. Quality. See why Johnson Creek is America's Smoke Juice.

and the rest of the story.


Gonna vape test it first.
OK, A regular CE2, not an XL and I got 1.6ml in it.

Whoa, a Rocket mod in only 2 posts.



The cut off clear part (with threads) fits the CE2 connector pretty good. I put a small bead of Super Glue Gel around the connector and pushed it into the plastic piece from the bottom. I haven't decided which o-ring works best, the soft top or the notched one. Disassemble for cleaning if that's your thang.
And all the tools needed to do this mod.

And you guys didn't get to spread this out over 700 posts, either,
Thinking, cutting, gluing, picture taking, vape testing and posting under two hours.

Heater isn't anywhere close to the plastic.
The factory puts the o ring against the ceramic cup.

Worried about melting your lips? LOL

Rocket, you might find a way to use one of the silicone golf tees that come in the carto condoms on the thread end of the cartos as a plug for anti-slobber while toting the cone-head around.

I saw these little tube-like containers of something at the tobacconists' place a while back that were called Wicked or Wicked X or something like that. The tubes could probably be modded, much like the mini hookahs, into an awesome juice reservoir.

No seriously, I wouldn't bother with the stuff when I have a particular medical license.

What is that anyway? Oregano and nutmeg?

Its hard for me to tell from the photos, but do you have a ring on the inside or is that just the cup up high?

The outer soft top upside down fits and seals pretty good. Still will leak if turned upside down.

Sometimes

If I use one of these outside I really have to remember
Do not vape while looking up.

Vaping in the recliner is a tad risky also.

So let me understand what you've done here you sent the girls to a place that has those curiously shaped pens, super glue and; not incidently those electric tooth brushes, and provided some basic construction instructions and just turned them loose?
We may never see them around here again.
