It would be great to have a nice short tank at the same diameter for the GGTB.

I'd definitely love this. Ideally, I'd love a tank that could be configured to look good on both a GGTB and a GGTS (maybe two different tank shells, like how the aftermarket Kir Fannis tanks can make a Penelope "fat?"), and could fit both standard and XL lengths. I'd never need another tank again.

Imeo can call it the GG "convertable" 2 different bases, 3 tank bodies, reg width slim width, XL reg and XL slim. Also like the Kir Fanis tanks with a top fill screw for easy refills.

with a top fill screw for easy refills.

Everything except that. Screw on top of the tank looks (my opinion) awful and it ruins estetics. That is the reason I haven't bought any of Kir Fanis tanks yet, one without screw (Varadero) I dont't like so much, the one I like (Prive) is with screw. Now I'm waiting Prive without screw.

Tool like Slap yo mama does the trick great. ;)

no reason for glass Manni, I will put a new material like I will do on Ithaka. It doesnt brake any more with any juice!
The most important thing is the ability to refill the tank, when it is easy and clean - its a win. Then comes the look - I am pretty sure that a GG tank will have both a nice way to refill and a great look so bring it on! :)

To be honest, I also prefer glass sections but that can also be a PITA. On the one side you can vape any juice without having to fear that it cracks your tank, on the other side I already had a lot of PITA with the glass breaking when I removed it - just a little tension at the wrong place and it goes cracking...
I guess threads in glass are hard to make, are they?

I mentioned it before, but I don't see a reason it couldn't be built with a removable cap (and I have no idea why there aren't more tanks out there with one). It makes filling them extremely easy, and we know it can be done because we've seen it on the UFS.

Nice tank you vape there trick but I am talking for a serious tank. Tanks like this have visible threads, something that I dont like and atomizer will slip in someway because nothing can stop it from sppining inside tank. I dont say that your tank is bad of course but its another tank. Maybe its the best of all but its still a simple tank with all the problems they have if you agree
What I generally look for in a tank are what other people have mentioned: A good tight fit, no carto/atty slippage, a good view of my juice (I like the bottom window idea), and easy filling.

I've really only got a couple of tanks that fit the bill for me these days. One is the Chinese AGR, and the other is Fluid Vapor's Fluid Flask. Both are built in a way that the atomizer part simply cannot slip, and both provide for filling from the top without having to move the tank or the atomizer. The Fluid Flask approach of having the entire top easily come off the tank handles this much better than the AGR by providing a large fill opening you can just pour juice into, much like how you'd fill the UFS -- and it's quite possible that's where they got the idea. The AGR just has a fill hole with a screw, so you can't just pour juice in, but it beats filling most other tanks.

Glass is another thing I look for, generally. Not only will it never effect the flavor, but it's good to know I never have to worry about juice eating it.

And, of course, it's got to look great (particularly on my GG mods), but I don't think that's something I'd need to worry about from a GG product.

Oh, I agree they could be better... I was just throwing them out there as ones that I think are better than most of the other tanks out there now (not including things like the UFS, of course). Just examples of where I think improvements have been made over some of the old, standard designs.

I am thinking a tank with same diameter like Proteus Steve. I am moving slowly to small and thin style e-cigs

That's a great idea too. We have many solutions for the GGTS size so we certainly need something smaller. In fact most commercially available tanks are bigger so small is not only better but more unique too.

So brother Imeo while you're having a head scratching session designing the new tank do us a great favor. We have no native tank/atty setup for the GGTB so why don't you design a new base, tank housing and top cap which will take either the Ody ceramic housing assembly or Penelope ceramic housing assembly and create a new native GG tank/atty for the GGTB which sits flush at the same diameter as the GGTB. We all love our GGTB's and we don't have anything GG which is the same diameter as the GGTB. The closest is the iatty but it is just a little bigger and still doesn't look perfect as a GG should. Something like this would be great and it would be a testament to GG interchangeable parts for users

well guys, I thought very hard about this tank and my thoughts were:

1. a tank with removable air control. That way you will be able to fit it in any mod with or without the air control
2. A UFS style

advantages of the first tank is that it will be inexpensive, shorter without the air control and it will not slip around Achilles. But it will not work with atomizers like UFS can do (exept Achilles), and if you put it without its air control to a mod will still have the "slip" problem around the atomizer (because atomizers are not made like Achilles).

2. The second choice is the best of course but I want to eliminate 2 problems. a). To stop atomizer get unscrewed when you turn the UFS and b). to be able to take off the air control so not only it will be smaller but you will be able to empty the collector tank. Exept I will not make a collector tank at all to save length.

UFS can do all the things that no other tank can do. If I manage to solve those 2 issues then this will be the best tank ever made if you agree.

If I made this new style UFS, it will fit in any mod and of course on GGTB too Steve. Also on Proteus too. I want to make the best tank ever and universal too
