Carto tanks - My favorites are Loki Lab SS1 for awesome airflow, Cirrus pyrex tank, GP salt n Pepper for easy filling (the glass is thin and can break easily though).

The GP-SnP Glass Tube is 3mm "fused Quartz"... one of the thickest glass tanks out there. Glass being glass will break if impacted the right way ~ however, under many circumstances they didn't break with me.

It is also the only glass tank I know which has a 'logo' that has been diffused in it during the manufacturing process... not etched or engraved (if that's possible that is). It thus looks awesome. And as other's have chimed in ~ the filling process on the GP-SnP is the feather in it's cap!







The SnP has a 23mm variant, also with an optional Pro-Ring. Together, they are one of the top 'tank' models you could get for our Provaries.

SnP 23mm with pro-ring, KF Privadero and Prive Special, Loki lab with Loki Ring and Atmomixani Loki Tank... other than these top shelf tanks, I would suggest a Phiniac. Additionally, consider acquiring different beauty rings, to include the highly acclaimed Hippo v2 to help with airflow and overall look - since the beloved Provari tapers to 19mm.

They are the bottom caps in the Cingulum Compleo by Trevvapor. I think you can order each piece if you choose not to do the whole set. They are very nice--a little pricey but worth the money IMO.

Digging those bottom caps for the Provaris; source please!? ;-)

Checked the site; unfortunately out of stock... but saved it on my favorites for a later day. :)

They are often out of stock--I am interested in the brushed and the sandblast too--so I just check their site at least once a day--hoping to hit it when they are in stock :)

Where did you get your SnP glass from? Mine only measures 1.53mm. It is THE thinnest glass tanks I have.

Thickness
SS1 3.15mm
Phiniac 3.15mm
IBTanked 2.5mm
AMP 1.75 mm
ZAP 1.60
SnP 1.53

Purchased direct from Vapour Art. BTW, here's the dimensions:

"3x fused quartz tubes engraved with our insignia, the aeolipile and they have flame polished ends. ID=19mm, OD=22mm, length 27.5mm."

OD-ID equals the thickness of both sides. Divide by 2 and you get the thickness of one side of the glass.

Thin is true. I've lost 6 tanks to drops, etc. between two setups. TG the tanks are inexpensive and easily replaced. I am being extra careful with them now and haven't lost one lately. I have four backup tanks "ready." Regardless, they are still my favorite carto tanks.

You know, I was curious about that... they use 3x fused quartz, meaning it's been fused 3x, not 3mm thick (1.5 is correct). Fused quartz has a lower coefficiency of expansion (less crackable from temperature), higher melting temperature, and potentially even more optically clear than borosilicate... but none of these are necessary in a juice tank. It's not more shock proof if you throw it at concrete or swing it at a wall, which is the important thing. But I guess that's why they sell the sleeve, which is what the Steam Turbine is....

The SnP are beautiful tanks tho, but at $20 for a plain tank replacement... ouch.

I really like the fill holes on top, but I would prefer a pyrex tank, if I did get one I would just use the ss tank instead, right now I am using the loki labs ss1 tank so far I am impressed.
