Yeah, it was a solid color and really, crimson is more of a deep blood color. Scarlet, on the other hand, is a more orangey red which I didn't want and was the only other option.

This tank isn't red AT ALL.


Well, it's red in the sense that red/blue = purple but that's it.

I was referring to the names of the colors on their site, not the actual colors, if you know what I mean.

I know. The color and description of that color on that site did NOT mention anything about being a light, murky purple, though. lol

At any rate, I shot them an email. I'm not going to be an ... about it or anything but I can politely ask if they can help me. If they say no it's not a big deal. :)

I'm sure they'll figure something out. Like I said, they are nice people. The company is just a young woman and her parents. "OCD" is the dad and he posts here in the suppliers forum. This is their sub-forum: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/ibtanked/339809-do-you-fiddle-your-thingy.html

Those are pretty. But I think I'm going to stick with silver. I think I'm just going to be disappointed and broke trying to find the perfect purple. :(

Have you looked at the Bella/Elegance/Evolution tanks from Hoosier Vapes? I know you said you weren't keen on carto tanks, but these have a removable top for filling. They come in all kinds of colors.

(I have no idea why it says Cherryblossom)

I wish it did but it's not the ProVari purple. Nothing matches it. Just means I'll have to buy another one so I can buy matching accessories.

I have an IBT with GRAPE end caps. It is a lighter purple. Not deep.

Dunno if that helps.

Seriously, this isn't REMOTELY the color in the picture. I just feel sort of disappointed.

I wish Phiniac had dark red glass tanks.

If you got the 22mm tank check out these: Shop - Spectrum Tanks. I too got a colored tank from IB Tanked and am disappointed in the color supposed to be shamrock but kinda a green bean green

Or wrap it. Re: The Bella Tanks, I was just showing you the shape. You can see the colors at Hoosier Vape. You might be better off going with a complementary color:

I found this earlier. I know it's dark, but the blue looks similar to ProVari Blue and I was wondering about the purple.

... and now the waiting begins. Besides the Provape box, I'm waiting for boxes from:

Atmistique
IBTanked
DripTipDesignz
SpectrumTanks
LokiLab
ByLeo
and of course, Five Pawns :)

Anyone know where there's a Kir Fanis Prive Special in stock?

Best regards,
Randy

You might try placing a Wanted ad in the classified ( get verified to gain access). I did that looking for a Prive Special and ended up with a Prive and a Veradero in 10/10 condition, saved a lot of $$ and dealt with some excellent members.

Yeah, it's more like the purple in this picture. It's not pale at all. It's just weird. I could wrap but I don't really like wraps. Good idea going with a complementary color. The flower color would look good. I think if I can find a drip tip the that shade and use a silver tank it will look much better.

Awaiting my verification. It's been three days so hopefully in the next few days... I almost bought the Veradero just because that one is in stock but the rings I wanted are not in stock so I didn't order. If Gr-modders restocks I have a several items I want from them.

I haven't wrapped mine in awhile, because I keep them in Serenity sleeves (which is another idea for you, since the only color you see is around the button), but anyway, when I was wrapping them, I wrapped them in fabric. I really liked the texture, as I do with the leather now. It's nice how it stays warm in your hands. Wrapping them isn't difficult and as you get better at it the wraps stay on longer. My last one was on for about 4 months.

I wonder if they will fit my Cirrus tanks.
