The Zen tube in the picture is for the Mini and both of the Zen rba's which is 26mm high.
Ill take a picture of the d.c. tubes have already made but they are mostly guyish designs. I'm really not into custom designs at this point. Maybe down the road a bit more in the future.

Awesome thanks! So I'll need to get Dual Coil sizes for them unless they don't mind having the shorter tanks. Quick question on your Zen size, shouldn't that be 33mm? The Zen standard tubing I have with me right now measure out to 33mm on my calipers. Unless these sizes are diameter sizes in which case I'm wrong.

And when you post iHybrid tubes do you post them under that name or Zen size?

Thanks :)


Cool can't wait to see the new ones! I'll probably have to pick up two sets of the Aurora's for the girls :) Unless you have hot pink then thats what they'd like lol

Ahh thanks for answering that I was confused.

Alright cool I'll take a look at the pics :) I actually meant on those plain DC's if you had spare designs to throw on them that'd be cool, but either way :D. If they aren't anything the girls'd like I'll order them Lava sizes and caps at the sale :)

Whenever you do more of the iHybrid (Zen Standard) sizes I'll be picking those up for myself.

Good Evening everyone. :)

Cyclin, I see Kathy and Wolfy got all the pics for you. I saw you mentioned getting a Lava size for their xtra long carto's, but just remember, some of the carto will probably stick out if you do that, so make sure that won't bother them. If they use the slim DC carto tanks currently, then I would bet the regular size Bedazzle with a regular size carto would hold close to the same amount of juice...just something to think about. :)

Okay, it's off to bed for me, but hope everyone has a wonderful night!!

Ty, for the reply. i suppose I'll have to wait till I get one and let you know the exact measurements. I could give you the rough ones that ibtanked uses with their clear glass replacements, but there are variants... I was just looking for something... well, more suited for me. Gee this just gives me incentive to buy another piece of vaping equipment, lol.

Yup :) Everybody has been very helpful. Right now the girls are on custom-made jdubious tanks, which come with multiple size tubes though they always use the largest. They like having to fill infrequently. My other reason for not going regular size is strictly because we have roughly 70 XL cartos left, and only about 10 standards. They only ever use the XL's tho, I'm thinking about PIFing the standards or giving them to my brother. Anyway, thanks for the info :)

okay, ignorant question...my brain just isn't working today...which is going to withstand my clumsiness more - quartz or pyrex? I cracked one of my bedazzles (knocked it over on my desk) before I ever got to take my first vape out of it....I am a clutz...:p

I am fairly positive that there is no structural difference between the two concerning one being stronger or more resilient to breaks than the other. At least in these sizes used for tubes. The key difference between fused quartz and Pyrex from what I understand is their thermal properties. When heated, the Pyrex will heat up more efficiently (quickly), while the Quartz has more thermal resistance.

Basically, Quartz is more resistant to thermal shock, meaning it can withstand being heated and cooled more frequently without cracking, though it still can happen. Keep in mind this is "thermal" shock, not physical, so for carto tanks this makes no difference as you are not heating the glass. Hope that helps and someone please chime in if I made a mistake there :)

I hate to say anything because I soooo appreciate your most helpful explaination BUT you have it backwards. I've just changed the words from Pyrex to Quartz and Quartz to Pyrex when needed and now we're all good.
Thank you very much you did a great job at explaining the difference.

Noooooo!! :facepalm: LOL thank you for fixing that for me. I will edit my post :D

Let me shoot this over to a scientific glassblower and maybe he can clean up the explanation a bit if anyone if interested :)

This is what I have been told regarding the differences. :)

"Quartz has a lower coefficient of expansion. Basically it can be heated and cooled more rapidly without the stress causing a shatter. Both are very resistant to thermal shock, but quartz is much more resistant. On the other hand quartz is also more brittle making it much more apt to breaking due to physical shock."

Actually, Pyrex is a trade name for Corning borosilicate glass, but is commonly used synonymously to refer to any borosilicate glass. Borosilicate is a silicate glass with boron in it. Quartz glass is a highly pure silicate glass. :D

Yup on the trademark :) A perfect example would be when people say "Pass me a Kleenex" where Kleenex is a brand and the actual product is called a tissue. Same thing with Pyrex. Corning branded their glass but since then has dispersed, now branded Pyrex is sold through people who purchased the licensing.

But its hard to hold a conversation by saying borosilicate all the time lol, when no one knows what that is and everyone knows Pyrex. Hell, only reason I ever found out was when I got into glass vaping accessories the beginning of last year (almost said this year lol)
