A Quest for Glass / Pyrex Tanks

[YoureFired]

Thanks for the heads up on IBTanked. I just ordered some and can't wait to see them. It's great to see another vendor with product readily available, with different styles and reasonable pricing. Personally I am glad to find a slimmer tank to fit my Twists. All my others tanks look out of balance on them. May I ask why you don't like your Twist? I'm loving mine.

Don't get me wrong as I also love my Provari and Phiniacs (along with others) but think the Twist is a good alternative for outside vaping due to size, quality and price.

Oh absolutely. I just got a button protector/collar for my 1000mah Twist. It's not the Twist, but the IBTanked Gooberfish tank I was commenting on. It's a bit skinny for my taste since I'm getting into the 7ml Pyrex Tanks from Valley Vapes lately. But you're right, the IBTanked does look awesome on a Twist. I just decided to put mine up for sale with a little 3.7v Gripper mod: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/sale-trade/322196-us-fs-gripper-madvapes-extras.html

I am also looking for more 7ml Triple V Tanks if anyone would like to sell theirs: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ttf-7ml-triple-v-pyrex-tanks.html#post6908586

Don't do this to me Sandy - I've already bought 4 tanks this week! Vaping is turning my little shopaholic problem into a major shopaholic problem. I might have to actually have to start working full time to pay for my new obsession!

Beats me, Mookeleh. But look at it as a good thing, you save some $$$

Very confusing is an understatement. If they do not make their website more user-friendly that business is going to go down the hole. I gave up trying to navigate it after a couple of minutes.

I just got more caps in today to complete my other two Triple V Pyrex Tanks. Second from the left is the 4ml and the others are the 7ml Tanks. The diameter of these tanks is about exactly between the Bolt and the Silver Bullet, which means they sit nicely on both. I just noticed that the 4ml looks particularly nice on the Bolt. Here they are on Silver Bullets:

Dude! You have FOUR Silver Bullets?!? Those tanks look great on them, btw.

Triple V pyrex tanks from Valley View Vapes. I did a recent review of mine here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-valley-view-tanks-7ml-pyrex-tank-review.html Incredibly inexpensive and simple, these are a larger capacity compared to other pyrex vendors. Sold as a grommet tank, meaning the stock tank uses large grommets instead of delrin or metal end caps. Available in clear and frosted. I believe he is now offering metal end caps for an extra charge.

IBTanked has a selection of pyrex tanks, both plain and "painted". I really like some in the Motley group. IBTanked Home

I ordered the VVV 4ml Pyrex tank with the SS end caps, should be here Monday or Tuesday, can't wait! If they perform, they are IMO the best value for Pyrex I've seen anywhere.

I laid my Silver Bullet topped with one of my 7ml VVV tanks down on a chair at work, and it rolled off onto the tile floor and broke into several pieces. Oh, well. Guess they aren't as crack resistant as a Phiniac.

When I got home, I got online to order a couple more 7ml tanks, and they are out of stock. I really only wanted the clear tubes, but noticed he did have 7ml frosted tubes available. So, I ordered a couple of those. They might actually be nice as I think more about it.

He also had 4ml tubes in clear, but one of the things I like about these tanks (talking about the 7 ml) is that they hold so much juice.

What I do on all my Pyrex tanks is simply put 2 black o-rings on the outside of the tank, one high one low,,, this way if my Mod/Tank falls, the o-ring acts as a shock absorb-er , it's actually saved me on a couple of accounts.

Got the OCD Tank in from IBTanked today. Looks great on my chrome ProVari and works as it should so far. I'll post more pics and additional feedback soon once I put it through the paces.

Here is the OCD Tank next to a Phiniac Tank (regular) for comparison.

That's good to know, thanks for the info. I've had mine jump off the bed a couple of times, but fortunately it was onto a carpeted floor. It would suck if one falls and breaks all apart and spills juice all over, but it's good to know that at least the pyrex tube is replaceable for around $15. I don't know what Phiniac would charge just for the tube part....

When I got home, I got online to order a couple more 7ml tanks, and they are out of stock. I really only wanted the clear tubes, but noticed he did have 7ml frosted tubes available. So, I ordered a couple of those. They might actually be nice as I think more about it.

Yep, I'm on the waiting list for the 7ml tanks. According to Ray, he should have more in within a week or so. Let us know how you like the frosted ones, if you get a chance. They seem nice, but for the price difference, I'll stick with the nice clear ones for now.

The 7ml size just look right on a Silver Bullet, in my opinion. On my Triple V Mod as well. I might get a couple more 4ml tanks for the Bolts, though, as they look especially nice with the caps on. With the grommets in, they look like a boring little round cube shape, 1" X 1". The caps are a nice accent and make them look a little more elongated.

Here some terrible pics of my newest tanks. I've got to get a better camera!

 

[Mookie]

I love these IBTanked designs. They are slimmer and I think 3ml. My pics don't to them justice so here are some pics from their website. I couldn't find the one I bought that is on my blue IPRO but it is so much nicer in person. It has this really cool swirly blue, green and yellow pattern.



The flower one has purple and yellow flowers also that go almost all the way around. The colors are much more vibrant than shown in the pic. It is beautiful. I love these different tanks. Getting tired of the same old ones being offered. It's nice to see something new. These are nice quality, good pricing, you do have to remember to add end caps if you want them, great cs and quick shipping. I will definitely be looking for future designs.

 

[Mookie]

I got this one from Hotvapes. It's beautiful but huge. I think it said 5ml but it must be 7ml. I was so looking forward to this tank but it's way to big for my mini Provari. Unfortunately I managed to order the wrong size dt also so it doesn't fit. It's probably a 306. Although this is top quality and gorgeous it will probably end up in the classy's as it's just too big for my small pv's and hands.

I found the pic of the green/blue/yellow I tried to explain. It's really pretty!

That's an IBT? What category? I love it! I thought it was a floral bedazzled at first! All of your tanks are so pretty!

 

[Mookie]

It's under the Motley category all the way to the bottom. It's called mottled. I think it's really pretty but the colors are a tad more muted than the pic. On the other hand the Alice is exactly the same and the flower is much more colorful and also has some purple and blue smaller flowers around the sides.
