Phiniac tanks are really good! And with the XL boges you can use the biggest tank they have. It will be 1mm too long for the carto but just use a drip tip thats not wider than the carto at the bottom ;)
I ordered just a regular sized Phiniac to use with regular sized Boge 3.0s. Haven't received it yet, but I'm pretty excited!

Haha so did I but it makes a huge difference in the ease of use with that tank With smotek tanks its useless those things slide off with a good breeze haha
Before I purchased a Phiniac, I ordered a Smoktech tank. When I opened it out of the packaging, I took one look at it and put it aside into my "Give to someone who will appreciate it" pile. The thing feels so flimsy.

How do you like it? I am trying to decide between the Slap Yo' Mama and the one from Siam Mods. I like the fact that the SYM is made out of stainless. Have you used it to replace o-rings yet?

It will also save your o-rings from getting cut up by the edge on the carto. I use the Slap Yo' Mama.

I had awful experiences with my SmokTech tank, and recently their cartos as well. :(

Tho my Phiniac is awesome. The tool is a MUST. If you have a slip drip tip, this can also be used for sliding as you can use the DT when sliding the carto up. Stick the DT down the hole, insert it into the carto, then push the carto up to its desired height...this saves the O rings from getting beaten up. The Phiniac has very tight tolerances and so the cartos will be snug..having the tool or a slim DT on while sliding the carto through makes it require much less force and doesnt temporarily deform the O rings, which will wear them out over time.

I really like it. I haven't needed to replace the o-rings yet, and some of my J-tanks are 3-4 months old. I use it to refill all of my tanks. They have a delrin version, but I wouldn't trust it too much. I bet I'd end up breaking it. Some of my J-tanks are such a tight fit after sitting or being used for a while that I have to rest the bottom of the tank on two fingers with the threads between them and use the underside of my desk to push down the adapter to get the carto to budge. I think with that much force, the delrin version may end up snapping
