I have a IBTanked tank and I like it a lot.

I'm considering going whole hog and seeing about a Phiniac tank that will compliment the color on the blue Provari:)

I also have the Vision Vivi Novas and they seem to work okay for me.

I love my Phiniac tank (can prob see why)

Go whole hog!

Drool! Teena, the woman who makes tips for Alice in Vapeland had a thread on here where she sells her stuff directly. It's made of lampwork glass, which is pretty sturdy. I have one, and would get another, but she make vase/ming shapes anymore. She said they are a pain to get the edges even, but I don't like the straight ones.

I have found some really unique drip tips, but they are predominantly acrylic or acrylic resin (TruStone), so I can't use them with my juices.

ETA: Here's a link to Teena's thread: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/modder-accessories-supplier-forum/353286-glass-drip-tips-charms-e-cigarettes.html

Really? I didn't know that. I learned something interesting today. Thanks for the info. I actually believed TruStone was made of a stone material.

Here are some high end drip tips. They border on the edge of art vs pratical vs collectables:

Drip Tip Designz - Drip Tip Designz

Drip Tips, tips, tru stone tips

Trippy Tips

I did some research on TruStone. It's made of real powdered stone, but it is then mixed with an acrylic resin. I'm not sure it would stand up to cinnamon juices. When the acrylic caps on one of my tanks melted, it took a couple of weeks. I only noticed it when I went to put in a new carto and the cap slid down into the tube and wasn't easy to get out. It was sticky and mushy. TruStone might be okay, but I would be sad if I got one of those beautiful tips and it degraded.

It took a little digging to find the info. Most "TruStone" is sold to artists who make writing pens. It looks cool and isn't very expensive.

I actually just bought an expensive Bullsmod TruStone tip for my new AGA T rebuildable and Silver Bullet. It, and most of the ones from Drip Tip Designz have a steel or brass center core tube running inside the tip, so I believe they are adequately shielded from the volatile juices.

I read about the core, but didn't see a picture of it. I hope it will be okay...it should be okay. I was envisioning the bottom sliding into the carto or where the bottom edge touches the carto. Maybe if you removed it while not in use, so it wasn't in constant contact? I'm probably over cautious, I've just lost stuff I like.

I hope when my 505 tank arrives monday with the carts it really does make a huge difference. Have some flavors that smell awesome but something still seems off with the taste and I think it might be my current plastic and metal vivi nova tanks. Also did not know about the co-op. will definitely have to look into that if I need to start buying carto's to keep a supply.

I don't know what a 505 tank is. Let us know if it makes a difference to the taste of your juice.

I have tried so hard to like vivi novas, but they just don't do it for me. The other night I had the same juice in a vivi mini nova and a little Phoenix bottom coil and the flavor in the vivi was much more muted.
