Nice D9, trying to get some DNA20s to play with myself but never get there when they are in stock. Evolve really upped the game over the OKR as far as making things easy and much more full featured. The chip itself I love but wish it would turn down a tad more than the 7W bottom, I am a bit of a wimpy vapor at times :D I know the DNA12 is available and if it had the same features and screen it would be a good alternative. Currently pulling huge clouds off a 2ohm Standard carto on top of a Mamu Stealth which is absolutely tiny and light at 2 ozs barely know when its in my shirt pocket.

Thanks man. The dna 20 is a cool little board to play with and works very well in alot of applications. The stealth mods provide alot of power in a tiny package, I'm a little too clumsy to put one together, much less keep track of it though. I've lucked out and havent broken a screen building any of mine yet... knock on wood

Yeah, I just wish it was like a dna 18 and went down to 5W rather than 7 to 20. I am certainly not complaining though, just that the Mrs is a bigger whimp than I am with her Provari almost always down around 3V but at least with VV you can use a higher ohm resistance to cool things down then up the volts to dial it in. With VW you dont have this option so much since it adjusts the volts to match the watts it is set at for whatever resistance the coil is.

The best thing about the DNA20 to me is the indication as to what is on the horizon, these are the things modders dreams are made of.

OCD, I have been wanting to get one of your tanks for a while. I have the Vamo, and I believe the outer diameter is 22mm. Are you to be manufacturing 22mm glass tanks, end caps, o rings, and washers? When will they be available?

Oh and another note, will there be a tank kit as well like you have to the 19 and 25mm?

If not, when will your tank kits be available again?

Should be late April on the 22s Nitrust, we will do the same with them as the others on the complete tanks and yes we will have washers made for them too. I dont feel any tank should allow the metal to touch the glass, this was started by us and as far as I know we are still the only ones who offer it. If you think about a tank taking an impact through the cap you can imagine the difference between having that little rubber bumper and not.

The tank kits will be back up early next week I hope. We are just waiting on cartomizers for the 19s to be able to complete the kits. You can still purchase caps and tubes rather than the complete kit but unfortunately we are out of the 25mm caps now and a couple weeks out on new delivery of those from the shop. The complete tanks have been quite popular and there is a lengthy list on the notify me for them now.

OCD... I got my tanks a couple of weeks ago, THANK YOU. I won't share w/ you what I did to the first attempt w/ ego batts and punching my own cartos.
Anyway.... Tossed those batts and bought a VAMO and prepunched cartos. Got that working fairly well, but I hear gurgling. Did I over-fiddle my thingy and over-saturate my carto?

Other than this minor issue which the VAMO forgives... bless it's heart... LOVE THE TANKS.

Sounds like you may have fiddled a bit much there. Should be able to give it a short blow then vape it into shape. If a carto is too wet and causes burbling using slow long draws will tend to pull less liquid in each draw. I also found recently using the refilling drip tip since it is so long I can slide the tank up the carto so the hole is below the bottom oring, this way no liquid can go into the carto and you can vape it down that way, just dont lay it down when it is like this because the top is not sealed.

Other news about carto... we finally got a tracking number from Smok... w00t*** should be here before weeks end. This batch will also add enough of the standard sized punched cartos so we will be able to put them up in the store too. This will be 3.2ohm and 2.0ohm in both standard and XL sizes and all of these will have discounting at 10 or more with 10% off so $1.35 per cartomizer :D

You know you're a fiddler if...

You've been waiting forever for a certain carto to come in stock, but when it is, one you wanted even more is in stock too, but only in standard size, so you rush over to the IBTanked site to make sure you can order a standard-sized tank, so you can place an order for both sized cartos.

JR, I have one and it has a funky cup thing rather than a tube. I think I will be able to do it but just got orings in today to check it. This thing is gonna take a load of orings because of course the tube will need to seal at both ends but because of the cup thing it had it will need orings on both ends of the center tube to make sure it doesnt leak there. I also think I will include some thin orings to hold the tube centered on the device because it measures a bit over 20mm where the tube sits, more so on the top then the bottom but again until I put it together I wont know for sure.

Just did the drawings for the 22 washers Skoot and have that out for a quote. Have to proof a set of these caps, probably in acrylic then send drawings to my shop but we are finally ready to order them. Hope you folks understand why it takes me so long to do these things, we operate pretty slim and we have to build the funds for every little thing we do and each small thing costs so much in the kinds of numbers we need to do them in order to keep prices so low and then we are also constantly trying to keep up with demand on everything else. IBTanked started on a shoestring and it is still on that shoestring but its a LOT bigger string now.

D9, I got lucky and found DNA20s in stock and picked up a few. Going to have a play at this myself if I ever get some time :)

I totally understand. Small business is ROUGH. One disruption is all it takes. Still, make a great product at a fair price and provide great customer service and you'll be fine. And you do all of them!

First time posting in here and I understand the whole shoestring thing my family owns many small businesses. With that said I purchased my first glass tank from you guys and its awesome. Looks beautiful on my P+ 500. My next purchase will be a 25MM for my ELA. Your tanks are awesome and your prices are the fairest I've seen so far. I will continue to purchase from you cause you're just that damn awesome.

Good news and not so good news but mostly good. First the bad, we are out of 25mm caps.

Now the good and theres loads of it. First we got our cartomizers in this morning so those are back up and we have a ton of them so hopefully no more outages there. We have also added the Standard length in the Smok Punched for the short tank people ;)

The 19mm complete tanks are back up and now with the color chart to make it easy to get colors on the completes. There is also some nice pictures that should clear things up for new folks on what a complete tank is.

Lastly, it looks like the colored orings will be in tonight. We will get those up as soon as we can.
