I told myself I would wait for the stainless caps. I was sure I could hold out that long.

I couldn't. I ordered one :)

I will, however order 2 or 3 more in stainless. I've read so many concerns and threads against aluminum, I'm scared of it (for no reason as I'm sure it's fine). No matter what the case may be, it has to be better than that diy syringe tank I made that tastes like the rubber on my Nikes.

And the the anodized caps look so darn awesome!

Lol wiredawg, for a second I was wondering how you would know what the sole of your shoe tastes like then I was able to push the image out of my mind, had a good chuckle for a second though on the mental image :D

Andy, no worries... the girls always watch for attached notes and out email system is working perfectly now. I finally figured out Windows 8, there is a program called Classic Shell that lets you see your computer like XP or 7 and I am a happy camper. We now have an email server that we all check several times a day.

Thanks everyone for the great turnout already on these. Other than worry about fit and finish on the first batch this is the first new part that we knew (or at least were quite sure of ourselves) would be an instant hit.

Wanted to note that our colored orings for the 19s dont look like they will work on these. Its kind of an iffy tossup where the may for some but not for others because they are on the cusp of the tolerance. We have however found some colors in this size that look like they will work out. Will let everyone know once we get them in.

LOL . . . As people receive their tanks and caps, they will post their pics and reviews. That should get things going for ya.

Me, I don't like being late for a party.


- Andy . . . Challenge the day.

Oh dont get me wrong Andy they are flying off the shelves, I hope that what we have will get us through until the next batch comes in but I dont know. We have ordered a whole lot of these to make sure we can keep them in stock, this first small run was mainly to just make sure are fit was right.

Aint it great May? Seems like just about forever... and some folks still have more waiting on the Stainless but its a done deal. You could say stick a fork in it, this ones done as they are as perfect as you might imagine. Next up I think is the Tiny Tank, the Offspring has been lobbying for that one and we have several customers who I think she is siding up against me ;) This one will be a petite tank, not for the big vaper for certain or the clumsy because it will be lets say, delicate.

TJ, I passed your note to The Offsping. In fact I put it on the big board :D That means shes sees it every day several times a day until she can take it off the board. I dont know if she will be able to get what you want done but one way or the other it should be answered soon.

As much as I dont like the idea of where we had to be on the Drip Tips I am warming to them. Been using a Red Standard with my favorite Hourglass Stainless Drip Tip and while it looks good I keep thinking this could be great. The caps alone are like a hint of color, not a lot more than colored orings as far as impact but those tips on these caps are going to be like wham...

Sorry if I seem a little giddy but I feel like I done good on this one.

Lastly I want to toss something out there for folks, we currently do our glass cold worked precision ground to +/- 0.0025" and we have always felt this was important to our customers. The cold working means there are no rolled edges where the glass flows over meaning no ID changes an oring has to be forced past. The close tolerance means a sure fit for your device of course.

We are looking into flame working though as a time saver to reduce costs. Typical tolerance is +/- 0.2mm or about 0.008" for this type of work. You can look at it as a total variance of up to 0.016" compared to our 0.005". While we prefer to stay with the greater precision and consistency of cold worked the specter of price slashing seems to be in the air by using these less time consuming method of production and of course we will have to always meet the customers demand for pricing. Just want to let our customers know that we will always be competitive, having brought reasonable prices for glass goods to vaping we dont intend on not keeping up with the market.

We will always have our high precision glass for the applications that demand it but there is a good chance that the future will add Flame Polished glass too once our machinery is finished for producing this. Not many know this but I not only do glass but I build machines that make things so whatever path the future takes us on IBTanked will be well equipped to adapt and continue to be the market leader for our products.

OCD...as a member of the retail world, I am very excited and happy to see success in a business that has always focused on quality and customer satisfaction! There are many outlets for us vapers to acquire our goods, but it's the transparency and attention to detail you and your family strive to achieve in every aspect of your business that keeps IBTanked as my #1 source for delivery devices...and my #1 recommended! Keep up the great work, and shout a big "THANK YOU!" To the Mrs. and Offspring from all of us!!

Wow, talk about floored. I just got through talking with my shop and it seems my contact there took it upon himself to do a few of the 22s in Stainless while he had idle machine time. He was waiting to tell me until I placed my order. Anyhow this means the first of the Stainless 22s will actually be here next week instead of next month.

The black is cool Chase, I have them on an XL tank I have yet to fill but it looks sharp empty too :D The finish on these is almost amazing like a gloss mirror look to them.

Will have word in the next couple of weeks on the drip tips but all the paperwork is done, I am really looking forward to seeing these.
