I used to be impressed by the Byleo team. Now I don't know what to say, impressed alone doesn't begin to express how I feel.

Thank you very much! We are doing our best!

So very sorry to hear of your accident Billie – take it slow and easy for a while. Back/neck injuries take time to heal, and it’s not a process you want to rush. Healing is far more important than filling orders!

On the plus side, you can now advertise the Calix as being crash-test rated and approved...

Speedy recovery Billie and no worries on the orders.

Billie enjoy your weekend

Ok so...I gotta be "that guy" and ask this...

What is a D-base tank? What is its special feature that makes it different from other tanks?
They seem to be popular, but I can't tell what purpose they serve, just by pictures...
Would my Sophia prefer a D-base versus her current Cage tank?

Nothing special .
It's just afordable and easy to use. Plus people seem to like its shape

So it's literally just a tank? No special feature to it?

Yes. Just a tank. Same features as the rest of our tanks to fit the ΣΟΦΙΑ perfectly

For me the attraction is the look and size. It is compact but sleek and elegant. It has a smaller profile than the cage and is just right.

I suppose it is also lighter than its bigger cousins.

Thanks family!
It's just so hard to figure something out when I can't get my hands on it!
Appreciate your input!

The D-base has a 20 mm diameter, so is a bit sleeker than the standard 22 or 23 mm tanks.

And 20 mm suits the (19 mm) top cap of the Provari 2.5 better (no need for a cone).

So the choice also depends on the size of the mod you use.

My sentiments exactly. The D-base tank just looks good on anything, unlike some of those huge things you see. It makes nothing top-heavy. I really like the looks of it and I got some glass for mine so I don't have to worry about juice crackers.

I have a question for anybody. I put an O-ring in my D-base tank the other day and it took me about 5 seconds. But....sometimes on other things I find putting in the O-ring almost impossible. I do clean the tanks and O-rings so they're good and dry, but still have a problem getting them in the slots. Even keeping them in the slots is a problem sometimes when shoving the atty in (even though I juice it up for this).

So, anybody got any good tips for a little quicker O-ring insertion?

I got my slim tank today. It takes less time for a pkg to come from byleo in Greece than it does to go from Tenn to Indiana. Thanks again Billie and for the extras.

You out an o-ring around the base of your...

I'm sorry, when I read that I couldn't help myself

Why always remove them in the first place? If your o-rings are dry after cleaning, could this be the reason for difficulties to insert them again?

I never use a Sophia and/or a tank longer than 2 days, then they get a thorough bath and get rinsed and dried and all. But I admit that I shy away from removing the o-rings and top + bottom caps each time ... I feel kind of authorized by Billie to do so:

There is no need to do it. I clean them with the caps on too, unless I see resin or particles in general after a lot of usage, between the cap and the tube. Some people though, are very thorough when cleaning. It's a ritual

PS
Well maybe "don't remove" is not a very good answer when someone wants to know "how to insert"

I have some blunt dental tools that I bent the tips of that I use to hold one side in place and the another that just I just manoeuvre the other side in. Most of the time it is a piece of cake but I will admit to the occasional frustrated failure with my method when I rush it.

I use one of these!

It's meant to save the O-rings from damage when inserting cartos, and to use as a plug when filling...but I've found it helps installation too!

That's worth getting just so you can drop its name in random conversation alone

You are right about them being a must have. In my years of tank use these have saved me hundreds of orings. I never thought about using them to help switch the orings, that's a great tip. Thks
