I cracked my sole Zenesis quartz tank! It cracked when it tipped an fell on my wooden table. An entire vertical strip cracked and separated from the tank. So I guess I am out of Zenland for a while :( Seems like my Genesis journey is a long one which just got paused as my Zenesis was my only alternative to expensive atties or horrible cartos.

Does anyone know if Zen has any available spare tanks yet?

I haven't seen anything about them being available in mass yet. May have missed it. It should be soon though. There have been a couple people posting fixes in the thread. If you have a 20 mil syringe it can be cut down to work until you get a proper replacement. Some have also gotten tubing online or from hardware stores. The proper dimensions were listed, will do a search in a bit and edit post with them.

The correct tubing size is 3/4 ID and 7/8 0D

Thank you both for the reply. It is quite impossible to take the kick out without destroying part
of the wrap on its body, or the kick itself, with either of the tools suggested.
I shall need to think of a different remedy.
Thanks again.

The Zenesis is a one piece design so it is impossible to take apart. To remove the kick, just get a long thin needle-nose pliers and grab the kick by the positive post then pull it out :)

Actually it is not impossible to take apart unless the standard is built different then my mini in that regards. However, it will be nearly impossible for you with a kick blocking the allen head which is the positive terminal and holding the tank section onto the battery tube. As suggested, long needle nose or tweezers to grab it.

I put the kick im mine as well.. To get it out, I tapped it in my palm till it got to the bottom and used my finger nail to pop it out.. I had to take the top cap off cause it wanted to fly while i was tapping it on my palm.. I dont really know where my kick is set but it seemed to lower the performance of the coil...

Yes you are :D

:D I can't help it. :D

Hey...your package is in the mailbox. You should have it soon! You should have seen zen~'s face when he saw my "too big" tank. :lol: I think his remark was, "I like what you've done with the place." :lol:

I holds liquid! They will be great for emergency replacements for you.

If Amazon.com ships to India, this is the polycarbonate tubing I bought:

Clear Polycarbonate Tubing, 3/4" ID, 7/8" OD, 1/16" Wall, 3' Length

You will need 3/4" dowel rod to support it as you cut it:

Amazon sellers sell that too if you can't find any locally.

Here's the tubing cutter I used:

Ridgid 40617 1/4-Inch to 1-1/8-Inch Close Quarters Tubing Cutter

41Bz1dle9kL._SL500_AA300_PIbundle-999,TopRight,0,0_AA300_SH20_.jpg

Cut a bunch of these and you will never be without a tank if the quartz should break.

The correct tubing size is 3/4 ID and 7/8 0D

Mini is: 1" tall (febbies are 1 1/16")
Standard is: 1 5/16" tall (so are febbies)
