Liking as I want one... I think?? I like the way the coil mounts and the top air control. Looks like a winner to me.
I like the deck quite a bit as well.
I mix high citrus juice and the 2ml glass tank is just too small. If it turns out to be a great atty I may do a search for a glass bubble. There are other good top air with good decks that will give me the glass tank I prefer.
Like Letitia, I use a fair amount of citrus flavors. I’ve had plastic tanks before that clouded up or deteriorated with some liquids. I mix all of my own liquid and don’t want to worry about what liquid I can or can’t use in a certain tank.
Isn't Serpent Elevate come in 3.5 glass and 4.5ml plastic tank?
In the comments, in the SMM video, he mentions the bubble glass:
"In the video I said the bubble tank was pmma. It’s actually a food grade pctg"
pctg plastic - Google Search
Maybe PCTG doesn't react with citrus?
Not sure why a glass bubble was not also included.

The US version comes with the glass tank installed that holds 3.5ml and the bubble tank is PMMA. The Bubble adds a little more than 1ml.
In the comments he mentions it's PCTG not PMMA. Whatever that is....
You're correct, I just read the comment... In the video he calls them PMMA. Strange???
To quote from another really old thread, I miss @cindycated. 
PMMA is basically acrylic, and is a step down in quality from polycarbonate. Whenever you hear of tanks cracking/melting with certain liquids, it's usually polycarbonate. PMMA is even worse. The problem is that they're at the bottom of the list for chemical resistance, so they don't play nice with the chemicals in certain flavorings. So if you vape any of the flavors that are known to crack tanks, you'd be better off with glass.
For non-tank-cracking juices though, PMMA is actually preferred over polycarbonate (even though it's not as tough), because it doesn't leach BPAs.

Some materials will crack or get cloudy with some flavorings like citrus, pineapple, cinnamon, etc. That aside I simply prefer glass; it doesn't absorb scent, flavor or chemicals and is very hard to scratch. When I wash a glass tank I know it's clean.
I saw what looked like two cracks on the bottom.
They could be 2 short straight lines on the chamber inside, sort of marking. The o-ring is not well placed, that is quite obvious.
Btw, I really dislike color tube, be it made of glass or PCTG
@Letitia,
You are right, if for whatever reason one won't want to use the bubble glass, then he/she will have to take the 3.5ml glass tube - that is inadequate capacity, indeed.
What a flaw in the design of this otherwise quite perfect tank.

The o-ring looks fine to me. It sits at the bottom of the tank. Not positive if those are cracks tho. It looks like cracks.
