That's ok..Love it. You have quite the collection. What is your opinion of the IB Tanked?
I think IBTanked is the least expensive good tank!
There are cheaper tanks, but none I'd recommend.
I like a few probably a little better - but they're a lot more money, and it's mostly aesthetics...
(An SnP tank, with the ProVari ring is like $90. An IBTanked tank with a Provari Ring is $37.50)

} I looked at their site, but have absolutely no clue how to order one though....
I sent them a message.

Well, I'd start by clicking "Complete Tanks" - that will let you make a few choices, and have an order put together.
For ProVari diameter, you want 22mm. For diameter of the narrow top part of the ProVari tapered part, you would want 19mm.
I like to use 22mm tanks with a "ring" so the whole thing is like a cylinder shape, but you can do whatever you want!!
Then you can choose steel caps or a color.
Then you can choose "standard length" or extra long.
This determines which size cartos you need - they also come standard or extra long (some may call it something else - but there are two sizes for cartos and tanks). Oh - and there's a "halfling" or mini size, too.
That's it.
If you want or need to, you can add drip tips or cartos or a carto-pushing-tool. Or you can get your tank painted...
But caps and glass costs $25, and they have ProVari rings (for that 22 mm look) in colors to match the caps.
ALSO - you can ask any questions, and get help, in the IBTanked thread, frequented by the owner of the business, "OCD".
That thread is called "Do you fiddle with your thingy?". Because your tank will come with a "Thingy" - it's like an old film canister, and you can "fiddle with it" to prime a carto....

Wow..how do you guys remember all this stuff?
Thank you so much. I assume the long tip might also be a good thing to get? Does that tip make it so you can refill it without taking it apart?
How do you know when a carto is spent?

There's a tool ("carto tool"?) that's used to push the carto halfway out, so you can put more liquid in. The tool goes in the carto, so the juice isn't going directly into it, but around the side, to fill the tank. You should get one, if you don't have one already...
When a carto starts tasting nasty, it's time to replace it. Mine tend to slowly get a "tighter draw" and at some point, I just decide it's time for a fresh one. How long? Depends on the juice, and your vaping, and how that particular one is "wicking" and some luck. Sometimes it's a couple days, sometimes a couple weeks!

If so they are sold out.
Do you purchase say 10 cartos when you are making up your tank? {thanks again for all of your help}
I think the dragon mini deserves a red tank don't you?

No, its this one.
This just lets you push the carto halfway out, the fat end in your carto, for refilling around the narrower top part.
That punch is to make holes in your cartos. Instead, I'd buy cartos that already HAVE holes in them...
Yes, you should get some cartos - get "standard" or "XL" - whichever length tank tube you pick.
And get them "punched" so you don't need to punch them yourself!!
OH!!!
Here's an option for you!
You can ask - just type it in the NOTES of your order - for the NEW "PRISM COLOR RED".
Just pick any color, so you pay the $5 when ordering, but then tell them in a note you really want the Prism red...
Their regular colors are kind of lightly painted on - you see swirls like brush-strokes. If you LIKE that look, fine - but the new "Prism" is a deeper red, and looks more like it's just red glass, not glass that's got some paint on it...
You can google around and find pictures of the IBTanked paint jobs to decide. But I LOVE my new "PRISM" color glass. It's not on the site yet, but they have it!
Here;s my blue one:

Yep - that's the thing!! The Slap Yo Mama is probably a little nicer... but since IBT has a very similar tool for $2.50, and if you're already ordering there and paying shipping...I figured that'd be good. But thanks Mowgli!! - that video is great to explain how you use it!
I made an order but have not heard any reply to a few questions I sent in. Is that unusual?
From IBTanked?
It depends - they don't turn around orders SUPER fast - but if you've got questions you need answered, I'd pop in and repeat them on the owner's thread here: Do you fiddle with your thingy?
They're a family company - if Mrs. OCD missed your questions or notes with an order, Mr. OCD will probably set things right!

Thanks. I had sent in an original request saying I had no clue what I was doing, could they help? Then you guys helped so I gave it a shot. Then I realized after I made my order, I overcharged myself and hit the color thingy twice, so I sent another message. No reply..yet. Maybe they have a life?
It's possible...but I can't relate.

That looks real nice with the black beauty ring, They do have the prism colors listed now in options and after seeing yours...lol I may pick one up, not that I need anymore carto tanks (proud hoarder) lol. Been almost 4yrs!! Would you say their prism blue is more Cobalt Blue (darker) than their Royal Blue? Thanks!! Wouldn't mind getting black Delerin caps or black SS...for that setup.but with the darker blue and the little ss that shows from the b ring...Its gotta look real nice.
Thanks for the post and pic...looking nice, I should get some updated pics soon, many, many more I
have both of my Provari's are still running strong!!
