I'm sure there's not much more that can be said about these tanks. I purchased a 19mm Standard with Stainless Caps. Luckily, I was able to get some Ikenvape Cartomizer's for it too! The Quality and overall finish are exactly what I was hoping for. It seems to be a very solid piece. The glass/pyrex also appears to be quite hefty. The Stainless Caps are finished nicely and the O-Rings provide an excellent seal. The fit of the Carto is perfect, there's no slop whatsoever! IMHO it's a fantastic looking tank. Whats more important is with a quality Carto, it hits like a train! I've been using this for a week and a half, and love it. I wish someone would have told me to get one of these when I started vaping. I could've saved some cash for sure! I wanted to give my review the day I set it up, but I wanted to give it a day or two! Basically, I've ordered two more and will probably never look back! For me the flavor, draw and Vapor production are exactly what I was looking for. If you're considering a tank, I couldn't give any higher recommendation than the IBtanked brand! Thanks Baditude!

I'm very happy to hear how good the IBTanked/Ikenvape combo worked out. I have the same exact combination of parts in the vapemail.
I can't wait to try them out. I'm pretty tired and unimpressed with my mini-PT2's and I've had hit and miss luck with my kanger stand alone cartos.
I think you're gonna love it! I have Protanks/Mini's, evod, T3S/mini etc. IMO none of them compare or come close to that setup! It's trouble free if you prime the carto correctly. From there it's just flavor, clouds and a hassel free experience! Good luck and excellent choice!

Looking forward to it.

I generally use condom method to prime/fill my stand alone cartos: http://youtu.be/PICBRi37Zs0

Is there a better or preferred method I should use when I get my Ikenvapes?

Many people have had success with the "drip & flip" method that I use: Drip & Flip cartotank setup method

I tried that method today on my tankless kanger cartos. It filled up pretty good but it became very hard to draw from. It's happened to me before when I fill them a lot. Maybe they are just crappy cartos or due to lacking punched holes being tankless.

I primed mine differently yesterday.

First i inserted the carto with the drip tip/filler tool and filled the tank. I dripped a little in the carto but it didn't seem to absorb very fast.

I put the bottom of the tank in the palm of my hand and made the best seal i could.

Then i took about 10 strong draws and watched for bubbles. The draw was extremely tight and it bubbled like crazy. Roughly 1/4th the tank was gone by the time i was done. I quit the "primer puffs" when the bubbles were basically gone. I let it set for a few minutes and vaped away at slightly less watts than normal. I always do that for the first few draws and then turn it up to normal.

It worked fantastic but now i need to fill the tank again. :D

I use this method on my non IBT tanks, and have really good luck with it! With my IBT I just use the thingy, and all is well in vapeland!
