Thanks OCD i was just wondering is all lol. No rush. Dont want you to feel rushed at all. I would rather wait for a beautiful tank then have you rush and not being its best. 
OMG OMG OMG i just got my tanks they are so BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!! Thank thank thank you
First time fiddler, here. Just got my plain tank today, but it will not be my last. Thanks
Thanks
Looks good TJ, also seems you got yourself a flavor assortment going on there.
Suzy, every has to fiddle a first time. Glad you like it.

I still haven't figured out how to do it from reading directions. I need pictures. I'm throwing down the gauntlet OCD: If I can post pictures of me hot swapping, you can post pictures of yourself fiddling...
Yeah OCD and I have some plans for more tanks from you lol but we will have to chat about those
TJ, I just saw a thread where you were having trouble with your cartos. I have to be careful as to what I post where as a vendor here and I try very hard to make sure I am just offering help rather than support in the open forum but sometimes my posts get deleted anyhow because they are seen as support. It makes it kind of tough at times so I am reposting this here for you because it may be pertinent to your problems, I know you are using eGo batteries so the voltage adjustment part would not apply but the idea is the same in prepping the carto properly. I had posted this in LV Suzyq's thread re her issues as she did not mention IBTanked in her OP and I kept the response generic so hopefully it is ok there too.
One other thing I would add is you mentioned filling the carto until it is saturated then letting it sit. This isnt something I do. I fiddle it in the thingy until about 1/4 to 1/3 of the tank is gone in a 19mm XL. If a little liquid is coming out the carto at this point it wont hurt anything, just put it into a paper towel and give it a single sharp short blow and wipe it off.
Put it right on the battery as there is no need to wait and use the quick power presses until you are certain the coil is wet. The only way to burn a carto is with way too high a voltage or vaping it with the coil dry and the eGo battery wont give you too much voltage with the 3.2ohm cartos our tanks ship with so dry coil is the suspect.
I see what you did there Ocelot

Primer is the clue Suzy, getting a carto properly primed is probably the single most important thing in setting up a carto either in or out of a tank. The filler needs to be saturated so that the coil has liquid touching it before giving it enough power to make it glow. A dry coil will glow red hot after a second or two of power where a wet coil will not because so much heat is transferred off converting the liquid to steam.
Some things to do, first check the voltage on your provari to make sure you have not turned it up when putting on a new carto. Next check the ohms of the new carto since you have a Provari, sometimes things can get mislabeled and a much lower ohm carto at the same voltage can easily taste burned.
Now turn the power down some from where you like to vape on a freshly filled properly primed carto, you can start all the way down at 3V just to get it going and make sure you have a wet coil. Take a draw or two without hitting the fire button to see if you can taste flavor, this is an indication though not a guarantee the coil is wet. Next do a very short, one second or less press of the fire button to see if you are getting flavor and vapor. Do this several times with some draws without hitting the button at all in between until you are getting flavorful vapor then start giving it longer times on the fire button and heating of the coil.
The whole idea here is to slowly break in the carto and get the liquid flowing good to the coil, once you have that going start bringing the voltage up to where you like it. If the taste gives a hint of burned or too hot for you then back it down just a little and try it there.
Hope you get it sorted, I saw your face hurts thread and it kind of made my face hurt too
I see what you did there Ocelot
Hey OCD I was referring to buying more tanks is all lol but thanks for the info
Could have swore I saw where you made another thread about having trouble with your cartos... might have been someone else.
Ocelot, just another thought here. The other day The Mrs fiddled my thingy for me and she did a pretty good job, maybe you can get someone to fiddle your thingy for you

OCD no worries on your part i LOVE LOVE my tanks. I am having issues with carto's in general seems i just have bad luck with them lately is all lol. Just making sure im not crazy and doing things right is all. Sorry i couldnt respond in more detail earlier but was at work.
That truely is a personal choice. Though i dont own a Provari yet i know someone who does and they let me try there Provari with my 19mm xl tank on it and i loved the look of it. But that is solely IMO.
The 19mm XL looks good and it's the same diameter as the top of the bevel on the connector so the transition works well. OCD said that he is going to start making 22mm in a while, which will be about the same diameter as the body and that should look good as well.
Is the correct O Ring size figured out yet? It seems the O Rings supplied with my 19mm xl tank are either too tight or too loose. I thought the smallest ones where good, but they really are too loose. I'm using the xl smok tech 3.2 that came with the tank kit and my Boge xl 3.0. Is this problem solved yet? My 25mm xl tank seems fine.
I'm not really sure what issues people are having with the fit. I bought my 19 mm standard tank in December and it did not have extra sizes of o-rings. I actually thought they are a bit to loose if anything, definitely not too tight.
