anyone tried the pro-v tank from vaperfexion?

The Pro-V

Seems pricey but it seems almost exactly like a kir fanis prive but you can get it with pyrex.

Concerned the pyrex is not thick or something, it warns that it is fragile. I'm interested but for 60 bucks I would like to know if anyone else has tried this and what their experience is.

I have one, an XL length one, and not with the optional top fill hole. It's an "nice" tank, but there's nothing special about it other than the machined "dimples". If you really like the looks of it you will enjoy the tank, expecially with the pyrex option. I think it is over-priced for what you get. It is not slidey on a carto. Do I think it is a higher quality tank than my $25 IBTanked pyrex tanks. No. Just my opinion.

When I got mine a few months ago, it didn't have the pyrex option as an accessory, just the polycarbonate tube. Chohan and I both got glass tubes replacements from Siam Mods that "fit" (not a perfect match, but good enough). It made the tank pretty heavy, and I eventually put the polycarbonate tube back on the tank.

I admit that I have been using the tank more lately since I removed the Siam Mods glass tube in it, it makes it lighter and feel more secure. I haven't bothered looking into getting the glass tube replacement from Vaporfexion to be able to have an opinion of it's quality.

What else would you like to know?

I'll be taking out my pyrex tube today to switch to a colored tank, so if you wait till later I'll have photos of the glass itself. Personally it's rough looking on the edge so I'm not sure the durability it'll have. Unlike any pyrex glass from the other guys such as vvv, ibtanked, or phiniac in terms of smoothness.
Lemme add i don't regret buying it at all and if i had the cash I'd prolly buy another.

Ok i was gonna post a photo of the pyrex. I was wrong the edges aren't rough it just seemed like they were before you get the caps off.
The caps were on so tight that with a little effort i managed to break the glass. Sucks big time. Luckily i just received another tube today...

That's pricier than a phiniac (which I have and love and is basically indestructible). I know the form factor looks good for the device, but I couldn't pull the trigger on that.

IBTanked are rugged, and a whole lot cheaper. If your going to spend that much maybe look at the Fluid Flask (which will have a glass option in the future.

 

[jwark]

yeah that's what I'm worried about, the glass. I already ordered a tank from ibtanked a couple of days ago. Waiting on it to get here.

Hmm... I got the Pro V2 in today, and it looks awesome on the Provari. I got the brushed with PETG tube. Strangely, it is not on the website anymore.

I know that the Pro-V1 was only produced in batches, only available 3-4 times a year. They would have a batch in stock, and then you would wait for the next batch to get made if you didn't get one. So maybe the Pro-V2 is the same way.

I always found their website to be rather confusing. It wasn't organized, often not updated, rather amateurish. Even a lot of the display photos are pretty amateurish, IMO. But they do make some pretty tanks.

Yeah, it was just weird because other stuff that isn't in stock is at least still on the site. Definitely agree on all points in your second paragraph.

I wanted a Kir Fanis Prive Special more than anything for my Provari because of how it was flush in cylindrical form. I didn't want to wait over a month so I was thinking about getting the Kir Fanis Tank with a ring to hide the space between the two parts. That was also on special order for the regular size.

I went ahead and ordered a vaperfexion V2 with clear glass, optional top filling hole. It was a bit pricey, but willing to pay for the look that I wanted. The guys over there were super friendly and even went ahead and changed the stock black o rings to the blue that I wanted. Very excited about receiving it tomorrow, and it never hurts to help out fellow members turned users.

Will let you guys know what I think once I have it up and running.

 

[Baditude]

Upload a pic, too. I would like to see what the blue o-rings look like on it. My Provari is blue.

Edit: I just clicked on the link in the first post. I hadn't been on the website in a couple of months. I see that they updated the photo of the tanks and it's a much better pic.

 

[anskyboy]

Will do Baditude. Can't wait until I get home from work tomorrow!

 

[anskyboy]

Of course, USPS gets it lost and it's delayed another day.

The agony.............................................

Baditude approves. Love the blue o-rings with the blue Provari. I may need to get some for mine.

Those orings change the entire look for the better! Beautiful!

I just looked at the photo a second time. It appears they are now putting the juice fill hole on the side? It used to be on the top endcap.
