thanks for offering but I've been using tanks since last summer...
I have various kinds from gg avs,ufs2 to cheapies and plus my Bella tank
I have NO issues with any of them.....its only the lava

That's what I was offering help for.. the lava. I know you're a tank user I haven't had any issues with the ones I've used other than a carto not wanting to go in even though I had tapped out the "bends" around where I punched it with a hammer. I think it was a carto issue because I grabbed a new one, punched it, rounded it out with the hammer and it fit fine. It took trial and error to get my method down though. Tapping the cartos around the punched holes is what seems to make it easy for me. Just trying to help.

I know you're trying to help and I do tap or pound cartos in...
but I don't like having to...
With the Bella I slip them easily in and it doesn't come apart..
to refill it lid comes off easily and when I push it back on...I hear
a pop and know its sealed...
I like easy...not fighting to get something to work....
it isn't just me...3 of us in the posse alone responded to jeff's
post...plus Stretchy has had probs with hers...

Yeah, sounds like you're all having similar issues. We had a tank (for the life of me I can't remember which kind it is... looks like any other with a tube and black delrin caps) that takes standard length cartos and every time I tried to refill it, the bottom cap would come apart from the tubing and juice would go everywhere I even turned it the other way so the bottom was then the top and the next time I went to fill it, same thing. Makes me when I waste CC juice like that. Needles to say, that one is just sitting in a box now The easiest no muss, no fuss ones I've used have been the longer dual coil ones FV sells.

Afternoon posse. Been a very busy day so far. I intend to spend the rest of the day relaxing. Tomorrow I have to clean, we have someone coming to measure for new carpet on Tuesday. I give it 2 days before one of the dogs gets sick on the new carpet once it's installed. We can't wait.

Hi everybody!

Pchela! Good to see you. I've been really absent lately, but work has eased up some so I've been around more.

Thanks Ase. I am sure I will. It will be hard for it to be anything but with me refusing to budge from the couch.
