As I pointed out in my DUH moment, you can get different colored tubes and switch them around for variety as long as they are the same diameter. The tubes are inexpensive, it's the caps that are pricy.

Yeah, i love the variety of tube colours. I think i'll probably get one standard tank, one XL and then an extra tube for each in different colour patterns. One of them is definitely gonna have to be that black that you have - i hate to copy, but it just looks too good and the chances of me ever running into anyone with the same design over here are practically zero :)

Actually, there would be an excellent opportunity for a UK vendor to sell them over here on behalf of IBTanked.

The black in the picture is a black bold swirl (just in case you thought it was all black). Preloader has pictures of his all black tube in the thread where he painted his ProVari. I got a matching halfling in black swirl, that I'm going to put on once I figure out a juice to use - then I'll post pictures.

Yep - i like the swirl rather than a full on black-out. Preloaders looks amazing too. I dont have the skills to do anything like what he has done, but wish i did!

Same principle with the funnel - insert it into the end of the carto (the top part will be sticking out of the top of your tank and the bottom part where the holes are will be about 1cm above the top of the carto - pour your juice into it and it is blocked from going into the carto and comes out of the holes to fill your tank.
Actually, the funnel tool does not protect o-rings like the SYM tool does. The funnel tool can't be used to insert the new carto into the tank during assembly. I've never had to replace an o-ring, but I would imagine its not an easy endeavor. PBusardo shows how the SYM protects o-rings and makes tank assembly and juice refills easy.

I'm guessing they are only a few $$ so i will throw a SYM in with my order too. To be honest i never gave protecting the O-rings a 2nd thought, but even though i will get some extras with my order i would rather make everything last as long as possible when i am ordering from overseas.

The tank tool that IBTanked sells will do the same as a Slap Yo Moma, and for a cheaper purchase price ($2.50 vs $ 8 / $13), although I do prefer the SYM because it allows for more room when refilling a tank. IBTanked's tool is wider in diameter being it also doubles as a drip tip, and takes up more room in the top cap's hole which can cause some juice wastage.

OCD (Harry) talked about the "Tiny Tank" in the interview. It's a 15mm halfling tank. He sent me one pre-production before they went on the website for my initial impressions. It only holds 0.4 ml of juice, but it is perfectly adequate for what I use it for. I use it with my Smoktech Gripper, which I use to stealth vape when at the cinema.

I brought this with me to last weekend's Vape Bash party at AltSmoke and got so many compliments of such a "cute little tank". :p

I'd probably buy extra glass since it's fairly cheap and would be hard to order seperate for you, and you can easily order a standard and a XL for each set of top/bottom pieces.

I got one yesterday and i'm in looove! I think i'm going to hop online and buy a 19mm and get XL and standard glass for it. or maybe standard for my 22 I bought.
