I'm just starting to get into tank mods. I currently have two [1] Chibi Tanks and one tank with the little side screw from [2] Mom and Pop Vapor Shop. They both do the job but I'm looking for something easier, if possible? I know my tank with the screw in the side is about as easy as it gets but I'm looking for a tank a bit more aesthetically pleasing - without the side screw. I bought a Chibi Tank because of the low price but they can become a bit of a hassle to fill.
I'm alright spending a little bit extra for a tank that is easy to work with. Any recommendations?

I use a syringe to fill my tanks, so the Phiniac has been pretty much perfect for me. Slide the carto down far enough to be able to fit the syringe through it and fill away. I'm sure you could do it without a syringe but that sounds like a hassle you're trying to avoid. The orings are very tight so I keep a driptip on it that can slide down into the tank to keep the cartos from ripping the rings to shreds.

I'm a big fan of the tanks with the screws on the side (M&P's and the M1A1).
To me there's nothing simpler, granted they're not exactly bling tho. :D

I'd love a Phiniac with a fill hole.

I have an m1a1 en route so I'll be fiddling with that this weekend, I'll leave my observations here after I've had a bit of time to play with it.

Please do! I really don't have a problem with mine - just curious if I'm missing out on another super easy tank. I may just have to order a couple more!

That is what has kept me from ordering a Provari. Fiddling with syringes and such. There has to be a better way. :(

I'm sure you can fill most tanks without a syringe by tilting the tank and making sure you're dripping at the correct angle, but after using a syringe, I consider anything else to be "fiddling". I swore up and down I'd never use one and now I will probably never go back. Also you don't have to have a tank to enjoy a provari or other variable voltage device, don't let that stand in your way. :) The reason I use tanks is that I frequently go for 5-6 hours without having any real chance to top off a carto, so I throw a big ole tank on my BP at work and vape when I can.

The tool fits on the carto. It saves your "O" rings from getting chewed up by the sharp edges of the tank. Geekyvapergirl posted a pretty good video review of all the uses.

I am using a Mom& Pop mini sub and it is awesome. I got past my needle thing and I will not go back to anything else to fill a tank. Everything else is messy. It takes about 30 sec, to top off a tank and keep going. I am busy so I don't have time to dedicate to topping off carto's all the time. I fill in the morninig put a fresh batt in my LavaTube and roll out.

My favorite tank is my Phiniac XL Pyrex Sand-blasted tank.
I got the Final Frontier with Saturn, half moon, and stars, it's beautiful!
I use the 808D-1 XL cartomizers from Ikenvape.com with a 510 thread to 808 carto adapter.
(I think the flavor is better with the 808D-1 than with a 510.)
There is a page to show you which size tank works with what carto, so if you decide you want a Phiniac Tank
be sure to check that out.
It is easy to use, I fill it once and vape all day!
If you put a little e-liquid on the hole for the carto in the tank top, it is pretty easy to put the top cap onto the carto.
They have sales, I registered with Phiniac for their news e-mails and bought my tank on sale when I got the e-mail.
Saved $10 on it!
I also have a regular size sand-blasted name tank for my 510 cartos.
I am so glad I got them!
No leaking!
Here is a link to Phiniac tanks if you would care to check them out:

Most Popular Tank Designs - Phiniac Rugged Pyrex Glass Tanks

I also love my Torpedo Tank from Vapor-Age.com
It uses a CE2 and it looks great.
It is so easy, you easily pull the Stainless Steel top off and fill with e-liquid.
Here is a link so you can check it out:

Torpedo Tank Stainless Steel

Since I got my tanks,
I am in Vape Heaven!

You can get bottles with a "needle" tip.
They are not really needles, but thin plastic needle-type tops for your bottles.
I prefer using a syringe and blunt-tip needle, it's fast and easy.
I do not waste e-liquid using them to fill my CE2 clearomizers.
