Does IBTanked ...

carto tank work on Sophia ?
It's a standard IBT.

Exceptionally well. I have Sophia 1 in a 19 mm x 45 mm IBTanked with 15 mm ByLeo.eu STR15 drip tip and Sophia 2 in a 19 mm x 35 mm IBTanked with 5 mm ByLeo.eu STR5 drip tip. With both, there's 15 mm of "mouthpiece" above the top cap. That's more than enough to grip to turn the flow control as well as to slide the tank up to remove the atty base. To refill, I simply slide the tank up until the top tank end cap is above the top of the drip tip, lean the tank over, and fill with a dropper along side the drip tip. When I push the tank back down, the nice rounded drip tip tops are easy on the o-ring--no tank tool needed. For both, I use the red silicone o-ring that came with the Sophias in the top cap.

I recommend you close the juice flow control before sliding the tank up. The bottom end of the Sophia is sharp, for cutting the wicks as you see done in the video, and you don't want the bottom o-ring to get cut by its exposed edge. This also keeps juice from leaking out of the atty.

Thank you Nico ... Sophia is arriving today ... wanted to make sure those 2 are compatible ... I already watched the Sophia video, but I will rewatch it again, thank you for the recommendation.

....and with my newly purchased Queenside ... this will make a very happy Three-some

Really curious to see how this works out for you! Report back! (please. I meant to say please.)

Congratulations. Just remember to insert the Sophia in the tank 510 connector end first... as you would a carto... so the drip tip end doesn't cut the o-ring. A drop of liquid helps lube the o-ring or atty base and make this go smoother than if they're dry.

awesome, I will do that and report back (maybe with pic) once I got it all together

Also... don't forget it's registered mail you have to sign for. If I'm alone in the house, I put a sign on the storm door that says something like, "Carrier, I'm here to sign for the package. Please wait." With my luck, I'll be in the bathroom when they ring the bell.

Pics most welcome!

yeah, they tried delivery on the 22nd, and I was sleeping (3rd shift) ... so I left a note on redelivery request ... I'll put a note on my door too, because eventually I do have to go to sleep

 

[NicoHolic]

How could you sleep with a Sophia on the way?

(I'd be sleeping on the porch)

 

[meanckz]

well...I suppose I'm a pretty patient person, seeing that she's been sitting at the post office for a couple days and all
I guess, I am at a sort of happy/content place where I'm at, at the moment, so I need not rush
also, previous experiences with cartos haven't been great, but I assume that since Sophia doesn't have polyfill it should be more along the experience I've had with the little Vision Eternity (that one makes me quite happy, but doesn't travel all that well)
