I've tried the killer with the IBTank 19mm short tube and I didn't have to much luck. I got it to work but the orings held the killer so tight I had to use to long nose pliers to adjust the juice control and the tank did not hold much eliquid in it because of the bell of the killer flares out compared the standard carto. I am now using my killer in the AGR tank which makes it much easier to adjust the Killer liquid control. My AGR holds it tight enough that it doesn't leak but not so tight, so I can now adjust the liquid control with my fingers. Filling eliquid with the AGR is much easier because of the top screw.

Ive been using the 25mm Ibtank with the Killer. It works great. I cant see how it would not work just as well with the 19mm.

The o-rings on mine hold the killer too tight. Maybe it's because the o-rings on mine are a little bigger (I don't know) but I can't turn the killer eliquid control with my hands, I need to grab with one long nose pliers at the 510 connector and another at the mouth piece end to adjust the eliquid control.

Mine too! It's a very nice pc & vapes great! It is an odd length tho. IMO it looks a bit longish on a 35mm (even w/a stubby driptip) & it feels just a tiny bit too short to work on my IBTanked XL. And I found that if I open the flow up too much the center pin loses contact w/the +pin on my PV. No biggie there, it feeds fine before that happens, but that might be a nice place for a spring. It really vapes well & I think it's gonna do what I wanted. All in all I'm very happy w/it & glad I got one. I really do wish it was 1/8" longer tho.

Don't take this the wrong way--I'm not trying to say you are a "noob" or anything. But are you lubing up the inner o-rings on your IBTank and the outside of the atty with some juice or VG before inserting the Killer atty? Not only does this help make for a better seal (to prevent leaking) but it also makes it easier to slide the atty in and out, and make adjustments.

Just a thought...

Stereo,
Yep I did lube with ejuice o-rings where Killer slides thru. Also lubed outside of Killer. It's not a show stopper but because it's a pain to have to use two long nose pliers to adjust the Killer liquid control I just don't use it. Since I'm using the IBTank 19mm dia short tube I'm filling it quite often as well since the bell portion of the Killer takes up a lot of space in the tank. So I just don't use the IBTank with the Killer.

I found out that if I push the killer down into the tank a bit it breaks the seal of dried juice & more protrudes out the bottom & so it's a lot easier to get a grip on for feed adjustment. I wrapped my shirt-tail around it & was able to turn it as needed. FWIW, I used the IBTanked 19mm std w/the killer at work for the first time today & was impressed. The vape is definitely head & shoulders above the VVNMs & cartotanks I was using. But I still wish the killer was just a tad longer so I could make use of my XL tanks juice capacity. Strange length.

you have any pics you could share? multi-angles? ibtanked will become my primary tank(s) once they release the 22mm and a 705 has a potential future...cheers.
