I don't have one yet, but if you dont have one try to sneak a tank tool into your order. Save your orings from some abuse. Real easy to nic them with the sharp edges of a carto. I always prefill and lube up my carto's before inserting them in the tank and install gently as i dont have a tank tool yet.
I love tank tools I have 2. The problem I'm having is sealing the tank.

It appears that's where my leaking is comming from, not sure that I have a o ring that small.

Do you have any stardust type Clearomizers? I cannibalized an o-ring from one's drip tip.

Didn't think they were necessary with the agr? I've not had any issues gliding the top cap on. No resistance against the o-ring, no wear & tear from what I'm seeing.

No, I didn't need the tank tool for this one, I will have to see if I still have a old one around, good idea. I put the bottom and cart'o together.
Put some water in and in about 10 mins I had a pool. So I will start at the bottom and try and work up!

I have the problem trying to fit the carto onto the base. One get in by putting some juice on the O-ring, but can't fire since the contact never touches, still short (Boge 510 LR). The new carto just can't even fit into the base, period. Just bad craftsmanship.
And that may be the case here, next time I'm back to IBT.

I find that I'm buying less and less from China and been much happier with US and Europe made items. Quality.

100% agree. Same here as I am getting away from Chinese products but just want to learn with their products first since they are more economical. I got quite a few nice tanks already. But since the review of AGR was so good, and it is very cheap and not a bad design, I was thinking of doing some casual vaping with that tank. But if it cannot fit a normal carto, it's pretty useless.

I put some juice over the inner O-ring so that it did not create any friction, try two new carts. First on went through but not enough to have any connection. Second cannot enough get through.

I have one and I love it, but my tube cracked today. Pretty upset about this. I can't seem to find a replacement tube anywhere either, so I'm gonna go ahead and just buy a new tank.

Don't they come with two plastic tubes? Try the Smoktek U-DCT, even though it is flange cargo, not bad at all. Looks more durable than AGR. Same price range.

I have an AGR tank and I have to say, I like mine quite a bit. It works the way it is supposed to and I'm running it in XL mode with a Smoktech 1.7ohm carto(Resurrector). The only issue I have is my gauge needles are too big for the hole so I was researching trying to find out if the bottle caps with the needle tip will fit these or not. Either way, it works great and will be even better once I can fill it with a needle instead of the top cap. Even with making sure the screw it out, I still get leaking with the top cop method.

That's just crazy, have you tryed replacing the o rings?

I'm waiting on IBTanked to get the 22mm tanks in and I'll grab a couple, I like my glass tanks much better any way. I have 2 of their tanks now! Then wait till summer for the new Carto tank from Zen.

I wonder if a Vivi Nova would fit?

I use a 20 gauge needle and it works perfectly... I also "solved" the flooding problem that happens every now and then, by rolling a paper towel and pushing it into the upper part of the carto for 1-2 seconds... It works... :)

BTW - can you help me in finding the exact diameter of the AGR v2 tube? Is this info available anywhere?

Thanks

Afaik UD isn't selling just the tubes which is a bummer since I've cracked 2 already. 1st time because I was a dummy and put a known tank cracking juice in there, 2nd time got a crack by the bottom threads. Currently gonna fire up #3 tomorrow.

I was really worried about having a carto tank, but starting out with the AGR really helped my confidence because of how it locks into place.

I do have 1 ibtanked so far and really love it, gonna save up and get more. The o rings on the ibtanked are snug but still just remember to not pick up you tank by the tank, pick it up by the pv.
