If you do the math, it would be 1.5mm off each side. That's not much of an overhang.

I have given up on my Novas, full size and minis. I have a Pyrex tank from VVV, but frankly, it's a bit on the homely side. Holds a ton of juice though. Went ahead and ordered a 19mm XL from IBTanked and love it. Holds a days worth of juice in that flavor. Plan on ordering 1 a month for a few months.
Still loving it. As I'm getting spoiled with a Reo VV with an RBa, and a couple Genesis attys, the IBT holds it's own decently.
Definitely buying more tanks soon.

Yes. There's something about the great divine crackle of a good cartomizer tank that a vivi nova simply can't compete with. I love ocd tanks!!
I actually started with vivi novas then shortly ended up with nothing but problems like dry hits constantly, no throat hit, terrible vapor production and no flavor at all.
Now I am awaiting my second OCD tank to ship. I am going to start a collection. And these tanks have very strong o rings. Upon initial filling the juice gets between the carto and the o rings which can make the carto prone to being slidy but in an hour the orings dry up and the cartomizer is perfectly snug.
I pick up my Provari from the tank when it's in my pocket and I've never had an issue.

Tank #2 ordered. 
The new "complete tank" kit is great, comes with the tank refill tip as well.

I ordered 3 the other day and cant wait till they arrive. Im so looking foward to them. Cant wait to get rid of the plastic ones i been using.
I'm a believer also. I got a Phiniac, IBTank, F16, and AGR. The IBTank is my favorite as its looks are perfect, and it's extremely strong at the O-rings.
Has anyone had problems with the O rings being waaaay too tight around the carto? My new caps are way to tight to even squeeze the carto through. Even with a tank tool. Two different sets!
Have you tried lubricating both the tank tool and the cartomizer with some e-liquid? Some people also lubricate the hole/0-rings in the endcaps with a cotton applicator like a Q-tip. Using a back-and-forth twisting motion also works better than pushing straight in.
If this fails, contact IBTanks about your issue. They have been dealing with such an increased volume of sales that some caps might not get checked for minor imperfections that might prevent cartos from easily going through the caps. The few times that I have heard of this issue their customer service reps have successfully resolved the issue.
yeah, they send out new caps, same problem, I replaced the O rings with some additional they sent me, and it's working for the most part, but they are very loose, tight enough not to leak, but don't grip the tank very well. It's so odd, because my acrylic caps fit so perfect, very snug, but not too tight.
I'm very confused by the whole matter, I guess i'll contact them again.
Ok, I spoke with them. They are going to send out some new o-rings to see if it helps. I certainly hope so. They do a very good job of customer service. I guess they are machined differently, so that's what the problem is!
Got my IBTank #2 in today. The supplied tank tool that comes with the "complete tank" kit is genius, made filling soooo much easier.
I don't know how I managed without it..

wish i had that problem....mine slides like crazy, they sent me new orings and the customer service is top notch but the o rings are now thicker than the old ones
Got my first tank in today, a 19mmXL clear.
I also got a couple Smok 2.0ohm cartos and 2 1.5ohm DC's.
Filled a Smok 2.0ohm carto with 30-40 drops of juice, filled the tank, and let it sit for a while.
Screwed it on the Vamo and vaped away, and boy this is good stuff!
I've used AVI White Rabbit in both Vivi Novas and T3's, but the Tank/carto combo seems way better to me, move flavor, more everything.
If this is how tanks are supposed to work, I'm not buying a clearomizer ever again...
Also I can crank the Vamo to 9 watt with no problem, just awesome.
I see several tanks in my future.
Thank you so much for posting this! I ordered the same one and also the 25mm (gluttony), I can't wait! I have a couple tanks from provape and have had my first bad tank disaster. It tried to kill me. LOL Happy vaping!
Yea that is a great photo

I still can't get the right fit on my carto tank. I'm very disappointed. The cartos either flood, or burn. I can't get any of em to work i've went through 4-5 already. I have no problems with my acrylics or my elegance. which is very upsetting. I hope the acrylic caps come in soon, since those are much, much better. the stainless steel ones just don't work. They don't create the correct air lock in the tank.
Sorry to hear you're still having issues. I recommend communicating with OCD in the IBTanked Supplier Forum for the best way of solving this issue. Here's the link:

Yeah, i've called them a few times, and they've sent out some different o rings. None of them work. I'm going to contact them again. It's just not worth it though to mess with the SS caps, as they just aren't working. I'm out 5 ikv cartos. I'm hoping they will switch them for acrylics, because I know those work.
I do want to add the customer service is excellent and they go out of their way to fix your problem. A+ Cust. Service.
