Default DIY intake blasting

I purchased a media blaster similar to the one that BAV Auto sells but am missing one part for the job. That would be the wand attachment that fits in the port adapter for the vacuum. Has anyone here constructed one on their own that will work or have any suggestions? Currently I have a ball valve with a 3/8 threaded nipple at the end of the hose - just need a few ideas to complete.
Any help would be appreciated

I bought a wand + adapter from this place.

I am sure they can sell you just the wand.

Thanks, I think I figured it out. I was trying to use the gun and wand and it would clog with the shells. The internals are too small on the gun to allow it to pass the shells through it so I just ned to use the wand portion without the gun and control the on/off with the ball valve.
