Glass can take a lot of punishment. It's weak point is the edges. Tempered glass has an inner load and that's why it explodes into a thousand pieces when it breaks. Back when I was in the business the secretaries had 4x8 sheets of tempered sliding glass door glass under their chairs to roll around on and we never lost a one while I was there.

I love the tests. I'm wondering, do you let Chris out of that fenced area or does he have to stay in there?

LOL ... he is allowed out for good behavior! The fenced area is actually for my new car and the 4 dogs. They get a little excited when we come home and didn't want them scratching my car, but after reading your post I have some new ideas for that little area!

Totally Insane Phiniac tank Concrete Test - I think that video says it all hands down

I had no clue what he had planned and still can't believe I caught it all on film. Didn't expect I would have to turn around as much I did. I'm glad I caught it because my video skills are not that good and I think it was dumb luck!

I will add this those tanks would be super sexy with stainless caps with o-rings dont know if possible or not but personally I'd pay for stainless caps - granted some have mentioned price but hey you have to pay to play :vapor:

Can't make any promises but it is already in the works! I'll let you know how it comes out.

The one where he threw it agaist the door did it for me because it also hit the cement on it's way down. Kind of two tests in one.

Thank you for the order Huffelpuff! All the orders from the weekend are packaged up and ready to go out first thing tomorrow.

Only a few tanks left from the first small run. 5 clear and 2 decorated are remaining. The next run should be on-line VERY soon, There will be many more beautiful tanks to choose from then there was in first run!

We are also offering free first class shipping with tracking for all orders including a tank which makes the Jars a great deal as they can not be shipped First Class so orders of a Jar with a Tank will be upgraded to Priority!

Pendants will be on-line shortly as well. They are here, just haven't had a chance to photograph them.

Our first product review from our first public product offering:

Received my tank and I love it! The pictures of the one I ordered didn't do it justice, the colors are far more complex on these tanks. It is gorgeous and looks great on my Birds Eye Maple Buzz Pro, very classy! Absolutely no leaking, caps are nice and snug and as was mentioned in another review, I too believe these tanks hold more juice than the average. Although these are glass, they are very sturdy, nice and thick. Shipping was super fast too! Thanks Phiniac, thrilled with my new Phiniac Tank!

Thanks TWilson for posting your review, glad your happy with our tank! We are quite proud of our products and are excited to see you are as thrilled with our tanks as we are!

Keep the reviews coming people!

Yes, we will have new ones added to the site soon. After they are complete we will photograph them and get them on the site. We had planned to have them ready sooner, but our materials order got "lost" in the mail and arived today!

I am not sure exactly how many will be in the upcoming batch, but within the next few weeks our goal is to be able to produce 50 -100 per week.

I will post back as soon as the new ones are added. Also consider adding your email to our 'Products Added' subscription found towards the botom of most of the web site pages or at this link:
