I would just get a tank from IB Tanked, they are AMAZING!

I second this recommendation. IBTanked is a great place to get durable pyrex tanks that work great at a very affordable price.

Another (but more expensive) option is Phiniac, if you want etched pyrex tanks that are made to last.

If the original poster is looking for a smaller tank than 6ml capacity, that vendor also has a smaller 3ml version. 3ml VCDC Tank - VaporCast

Another alternative if going with the polypropylene tubed tanks would be the DCT tanks sold by My Vapor Store. Unlike Vaporcast above, MVS offers a kit with choice of single vs dual coil cartos and choice in the number of laser-drilled holes and choice in ohm resistance of 5 supplied cartos for $21. 510 Pro DCTank Combo

If you already have XL 45mm length cartomizers, you can also just get a carto-less tank for $10: Pro DCTank Tube

I believe those two tanks from VaporCast are the smoke tech tanks as well with the metal end caps. I use em every day for months and months and they work flawlessly till I try the 3.5 ml and then it wont feed the carto unless it has 3 holes. It has to do with the pressure in the smaller space of the 3.5 ml tank vrs the 6 ml one because I can literally pull a carto from a 6 ml that I have been using for a week and put it directly into a 3.5 ml and within hours it's not feeding.Hope this helps.

I think all of them above are actually Smoke Tech tanks sold with a different name. Correct me if I am wrong( It does happen) but OP I think you probably need more or bigger holes. I use triple prepunched cartos and have a hard time getting my 50/50 mix to feed into them on the smaller tanks.

Wouldn't hurt to try, if that is what the OP's issues were; he wasn't specific. However, not everyones experiences are the same. I have a couple of both size Smoktech polypro DCT from MVS. I use Smoktek single coil cartos with one or two laser-drilled holes, and have not had that issue. I have a variety of juice ratios, including some that are 100% vg.

That sounds like some pretty awesome options. But if you do decide to try Vaporcast, tell them exactly what you're looking for. They are extremely flexible. If they can do it, they will. I know they mostly stock single-hole laser-punched SmokTek cartos in the 2.0 ohm range, but if I remember, they have a box of Altsmoke 2-hole laser-punched cartos in a limited supply.

They've been known to bend a little in favor of the customer, so like I said, if you decide to try out Vaporcast, let them know exactly what you're looking for. They have excellent customer service, and an online chat box for direct interaction during normal business hours: 10 am to 7 pm.

I use the smok tanks in the 3.5 ml size with 2 holes and never have a problem with them. I use the Smok 1.7 ohm single coil cartos in them but also never had a problem with the 1.5 ohm dual coil cartos, either ----that is once I got past the first 3 tries of burning the cartos because i didn't know how to set them up properly. There is a learning curve to every delivery device.

The trick to them is to make sure you have the cartos fully loaded as well as the tank loaded with juice. Then I also take 4 or 5 primer puffs before I even screw it onto my PV. (hold thumb over the bottom connection and suck hard on the drip tip 4 or 5 times) Proper priming is key. Those who say it just takes a few drops in the carto must be using a juice that is very thin. I use 100% vg and use cartos with 2 holes. I must mention that my 100% vg has been properly thinned either in my own DIY or the vendor I purchase my juice has pre-thinned it. Works great!!
