Hello everybody! I'm looking for a new style of carto tank. I've got six Artemis locking DCT tanks and I'm looking for something a little bit new. I've used Bella tanks, don't care for them. Too pricey for something not that great, IMHO. What do you use? What do you like? Cool designed tanks? Locking or non-locking, lemme see what you've got!

My fav right now is my ValleyViewVape pyrex tank (don't get the fill hole ones), i plain on getting a IBtanked and a Phiniac too. HighDessertVapes has some nice blown glass pyrex tanks too at a great price. I'm gonna have to start standing on the corner with a sign that reads "Need help for vape gear, thank you, god bless".

IBTanked complete kit with a box of LR cartos.. Decent price. OUTSTANDING performance! Fit and finish second to none. I have split/cracked/chipped half a dozen ViVi novas over the past year but the Pyrex glass tank has some serious substance to it- will be ordering a couple more in the very near future. Just my two cents...

I have managed to break 2 IBTanked's. 1 was attacked by a baby with an impressively coordinated two handed spoon attack. The other was dropped onto concrete from 6 feet due to stupid user refilling "technique".

The stainless steel endcaps are the expensive part, the actual pyrex tank is only 5 bucks, so it is an inexpensive error. I just make sure to order a couple of spare tubes and pop the rescued endcaps in.

Due to clumsiness and the everpresent threat of hostile baby actions, I am loathe to get anything too expensive, so I am very happy with IBTanked.

Boge F16 tank boge 1.7 single coil

Boring ? yes
Looks boring ? Yes
But Def my fave

I have 2 IBTanked's I use at home. And 2 F16's I use out and about.

The IBTanked's have SR cartos in as I use them on my VV/VW devices so they are safe from the plastic cracking juices.

The F16's have LR cartos so I can use them on the above but also my 3.7v work and evening out devices. The endcaps started to peel after a couple of months, so they look a bit naff.

I like my AGR, ordered another. Its similar to the Artemis I believe, in that it has a locking base. Can have some leaking issues but fixed this with a small o-ring around the carto 510 connection.

Was looking at getting an IBT but I've got slippery fingers so it'd be a stay at home tank.

Yep, I have a few different tanks, including a few Tripple V glass tanks. But my current favorite is the AGR. I have great luck with these tanks. No modding needed here. I also dont vape any hard core juices that crack plastic tanks. Of course, alot of people seem to be having problems with them. I am just glad that I am not.

Next on my list....IBTanked.

I started with a couple of Smok DCT I don't care for them other than around the house. It slips up off the carto way to easy. No leaks for me but I have pulled the tank off a few times. A wide bottom drip tip seems to help.

I also have some Smok UDCT they are the same as the Artemas tanks. I use these when I am out and about since they lock and there is virtually no risk of it coming a part. I did have to mod the locking ring to work with the Vamo.

I just got a 19mm from IBT and I really like it. Although it doesn't lock the carto is very secure. They seem to have very high QC standards at IBT. Next on my list is a couple 22mm from IBT (when they are available) and a Phiniac.

Here is a pic of the new IBT on my Vamo

this shot shows all my tanks (disregard the gennys and the A7 RBA ). on the PorVari is the Pro-V2 from Vaperfexion.

Bottom row left to right AGR tank from Discount Vapers,(skip past the A7) Triple V Pyrex from Valley View,J-Tank from Electronicstix and the Fluid Flask from fluid vapor.

i guess my next tank will be from IBTanked or phiniac.

Well..at home I am pretty much stuck on Gennys right now..but out and about, no fuss..no muss - looks fantastic and being damn near indestructible... Phiniacs..done!

a little pricey but with three of em.. I am done with the need for tanks... I like IBTanks - I've got one and think the quality for the money spent is very,very good..but personally I like the fit and finish of the Phins much better.. It should be at almost twice the price!
