There were some pics a few days back....but that could be hundreds of pages :facepalm:
Here's a pic from early in this thread

He says this is on an Alpha. Hope that helps a little.

The MagmaTank is based on my old design. It's a 1" diameter tank with 1/8" thick wall tubing. I think floridamale posted a pic of a black delrin one I made for him. Strprswpr has a couple of delrin ones also. These will be the same design, except with the new materials. Thankfully I found a supplier that makes this in a larger size.
Thanks. The pic looks like a CE2. Then new ones will fit std cartos with just more capacity with thicker tubing too = very nice. If it will fit the Boge 801/fusion cartos (all my other tanks do), I may have to consider this when I see the materials worked.

The problem I have experienced is that my DIY juice (my staple and only tank juice) does not like any metals (changes the flavor) and the ingredients seem to crack/etch/spider-web acrylic and polycarb tubing. I have found that if I further cure the polycarb tubing (bake at 180 degrees for about 90 min), the tubes hold up much better. But all the other standard size tanks now have longer endcaps and seem to only take about 1.2 ml per fill (with an airbubble about the size of a small lima bean). So, this sounds very promising.
