Glass Tank Mods

[Fauropitotto]

There are two sources that I've seen for this. Thanks to ECF I've fallen head over heels into vaping. Over a dozen juices on my desk, dozens of expired cartos, clearos, and mods. Schematics for electronic potentiometer regulated boxmods, and a tank or two.

Here's the problem: polycarbonate doesn't play well with some of my juices, and so my tank cracked.

After seeing a few threads on the matter, I've decided to abandon plastic all together and switch to pyrex glass (borosilicate)

There are two sources that I've seen for this.

Big Daddy Vapor

and

Phiniac

Both seem to be excellent products. However, I'm balking at the price and the availability! $38-$50 per tank seems...too much, especially if I wish to have a few tanks for my various juice mixes.

Here's my question: Can we create a thread of the various tank mods out there AND their Internal Diameters (ID) so that I can try to find the right pyrex glass to fit their various end caps?

Keep an eye on electronicstix.com. They are playing around with an all delrin tank. Not sure when (or if) they will market it.
looks pretty promising for the Cinnamon issue tho'.

Phiniac is having a contest right now - this week's prize is a free tank! You could try and win one while you look at options ....
You fill in the blanks to a "MadLib" and the best/funniest one wins (you can enter 3 times each week). I think next weeks prize is a free tank AND matching Phiniac jar .... can't hurt to enter.

Will do! Thanks.

Anyone else have an opinion on end caps? Seems like a lot of suppliers aren't selling them separately.

I haven't seen anything actual glass for that- but I've seen blown glass tanks for that cheap ($45-55)

Might want to try out Stormy's Vapor Cellar and the Arry v3 tank when available, lower cost and not made of polycarb, but from a chemical resistant material. I have one and by far the easiest tank I have ever used. ACTv3 (Arry Carto Tank) http://stormysvaporcellar.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=449 [] - $37.99 : Stormys Vapor Cellar, Electronic Cigarettes & More

The Phiniac ones for that price aren't just plain, boring tanks .... very thick walled glass with beautiful art-designs. These things are tough ... they have a video where they actually throw one at a garage door!
Here's one I recently got ... just waiting for my new GLV to fire the baby up.

There is a sub forum for tanks:

Atomizer, Cartomizer and Tank Discussion

After you have your 5 posts, I will move this thread there.

Thanks classwife.

BluSwatch love your phiniac.
They a really worth the price when you think
of all the work that goes in to making them!

 

[BluSwatch]

Thanks! That is so true .... and them being so break-proof and juice-proof .... it really pays.

Oh, I don't doubt the craftsmanship of the Phineac tanks. I've just found 4 feet of thick walled glass tubing that I can cut, and round off myself for $15 shipped.

What I'll need are end caps to fit onto what I make. As beautiful as they are, I'm not into the customization so much as being able to create a set of 4 or 5 tanks for cheap that are just as juice-proof and break-proof.

I hear ya .... some folks were using caps they found on eBay and Amazon (called "rubber grommets"?). But I guess you'd have to find caps that fit really well on your glass.
