I'm not sure if people are aware of this but the glass used in vaping tools use a type of pyrex glass which looks like it would be ideal for model lubricators or home made lubricators for lathes etc. I intend to make some using this technique soon, I'll let you know how it goes.

If it's a "Pyrex type" glass could be interesting if you have to modify the size by cutting or grinding it!

Sorry about the random phone number at the end of my first post, not sure how that got in there!

They come in quite a few different sizes; going on eBay and just typing vaping glass got me a few different examples. I'm going to try and find out what the smallest size is.

First stab finds out that the SMOK TFV8 Baby tank is 22mm deep, 22mm wide and 20mm high. That sounds like it has potential.
