Its the easiest and most simple tank made. I have to get this. Check this out.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8cq8fqZ96c&feature=share
Seems overly complicated
Meh.
Easiest? Maybe. Most simple? Nah.
If you've gotta punch the carto anyway I don't see where this is any simpler - and I'd be skeered of throwing the o-ring away. Seems overly complicated to me and I don't see the advantage to screwing a carto into a shorty adapter versus just sliding a tank onto the carto.
Ghetto tanks from 6ml bottles are the simplest
Interesting that you leave the end cap on the carto then screw on the tank cap and put the drip tip into the tank cap. Thinking it must depend on the carto cap to provide part of the seal. But at ~$34 it's a bit more than a 'home-made-syringe-tank'.

Nah! Not too complicated - but then I like gadgets.
Now here's a saddle valve I haven't seen before. This one looks ideal for carto punching. Founds this post on another forum thread.

Found it for $7 here -
C-style Self-Piercing Saddle Valve SV-6, SV-6-QC 1/4''
Looks like a cool tank! Love the idea of the carto screwing into the base, really stable design. I couldn't afford to buy as many as I need unless I inherited a fortune. I wonder how the threads will hold up over time, being plastic.
I love his reviews. I have to force myself to pay attention because I am always so mesmerized by his smoke rings.

I like this! Wonder when it will be available here, and for how much?
I think I could use just one. It looks like it would be easy to swap out carts to use different flavors. I think it's a very good tank and with the threads lasting, I think they could last with having them lubricated with the liquid to keep them from wearing out.
Yes to Ebay for better price - just came back from Ebay, found the same offer you did and bought one.

The carto tank has been perfected! I like that punch tool also. I just love seeing the way, over time, that items are improved upon and perfected.
I agree with you. It's like we could use a thread by itself on the "Care and Feeding of Tanks". Just ran into a new problem. After refilling a tank that was working fine with a new punched carto for 2 tanks fulls, it was drawing air in through the grommet on the mouth end. After each vape there would be tiny air bubbles all around the grommet.
I emptied it and wipe out the tank and wiped of the grommets and put it all back together again and then it wasn't leaking air. I'm thinking the end of the tank (for sure) was damp with e-liquid and likely the end grommet also. The liquid film didn't let the grommet seal properly on the inside diameter of the tank. As I vaped i sucked in the flim of liquid and let air enter the tank. At least that's my best guess as to what happened.

I love the Ghetto tank, and I bought 10 bottles, so will using a lot of them, but I think I gotta have one of these new tanks.
my4jewels, I just received the tank from Electronicstix. It looks good, it has 2 o-rings on the outside of the caps and the tube is alot thicker than the other one I'm using. I will use it tonight.
That is the same size and type tube as the liquinator uses, just different caps. I knew you'd be impressed with the thickness of the tube.
