Morning Corps. Made it back from Buffalo last night with no problems. Got the day off to recoup from vacation before going back to work tomorrow. So not looking forward to it as we are starting inventory. I'm the mgr of a retail store with over 5,000 different products. Takes 8 of us 3-4 days to get it all done.

I just wasn't sure about posting until I actually got a tank - I should have known better though because you all are so nice!
THANK YOU malikah, tas & wolf for the pics - you guys are so great! I'm thinking a candy raspberry mini glv (hope he can put a sparkly overcoat!) will go fabulously with my new strawberry cheesecake lava tank!! I never consdiered myself to be so "girly" when it came to this stuff, but I guess I am - although a rough and rugged badass setup would not bother me either. Thanks to all for being a part of the start of my new collection!!
Stay in touch, this thread is a daily for me! Good to see you posting here! Enjoy!
Good Morning, Good Morning Corps!! Getting up early for work after a vacation of sleeping in stinks
I concur, work sucks!
Now, I know mine isn't as nice looking as a shiny GLV but wanted to show how well the lava tank fits on my SS Don. I had read that there were problems w/ tanks and wasn't expecting to be able to use w/ my lava. It does not seat quite "flushed" but is close enough that it is solid so am glad it got it.
Sorry for the double photos was trying to make it bigger.

the pain of not scoring my first lava tank was eased somewhat by recieving the official gummy tank from vapor-age!
Along with carto punch, which works pretty good...
Me likey! Nice and heavy being all stainless steel with a lexan tube and fda approved o-rings
Very tight tolerances, no worries about this bad boy sliding off!

I just ordered a SS Don. I wanna try it with my beta Kick. How do you like it?

tap the carto with a hammer to re-shape it. and slide an 18 guage needle down the center gently...i don't see why that doesn't work for the saddle valve too. if you're not reefing on the thing, it should be the same as the instructions for the other punches, no?
I've only had to punch about 10 cartos so far, and haven't had a problem using the saddle valve. It has worked beautifully every time for me, but I've heard of folks crunching their cartos in it. First thought that came to mind was "WTH are they doing?!" since mine seems to pierce the sleeve like butter. Well...butter that just happens to click when you puncture it.
Since o-rings tend to protrude into the opening just a tad in order to make the seal, I had a problem with slotted cartos where the slot would catch the o-ring and get hung up on it, or I would get too insistent and end up pulling the o-ring out of its seat, so my opinion is the punched cartos make more sense in that regard. But yeah, I can imagine that when the point of the punch begins to get dull it could start mutilating the cartos...

Noob here: How do I get on the list for one of these?!? And what is the cost for this fine piece of equipment? I do realize there is quite a long wait for them but I am patient.
Most of the information you are looking for can be found here...but just ask if you still have questions after reading...
