Virginia, Well Steeped
New guy here who now feels like he was picked last for kick ball. :blush: But I will definitely be part of the next sale in some way shape or form.

Welcome new guy here, Drew! Persistence pays off! I struck out this time (and a few other times) but I'll be around for the next sale! These tanks are the best I've tried and believe me, I have tried just about every darn tank out there! Well worth all time spent trying to score a lava tank, well worth sticking around until I get another one!

2 times now, no luck. Timing bad for me today, missed out. Big hopes for next time as the new tank's look Great. :D

Hi saim, hang in there and keep trying, you'll know what I mean when you do score a lava tank.

Many first time lava tank owners do come back in here to post that they had their doubts about the lava tank being the best tank out there. But, after scoring a lava tank they immediately figure out that we know what we're talking about! I have several lava tanks (and want at least 2 more) but I will definitely keep trying until I get them, however long that may take!

Thanks, Rimp! How are you this fine morning?

Damn, I'm chipper today. Although, I am a little disappointed. I worked to track down the tie-dye cherry vape ming drip tip and it came in yesterday. I love it. After the sale, I was going to bed, I set my provari on my night stand and it fell over and the drip tip cracked. I was sooo mad. I'm going to try some epoxy to repair it but I'm not very convinced that will work. If it doesn't, I'm going to throw myself on cherry vape's mercy and beg them to replace it for me.

Thanks. It'll be alright. I emailed cherry vape just now and asked them to take mercy on me, lol. It'll be a while before I have enough lava tanks to where I won't need drip tips. I now have 7 tanks in rotation with different juices. I see it taking me a loooong time to rack up that many lavas, although, I have been toying with the idea of having my father-in-law attempt to replicate the design on his lathe.

Jon ships them out pretty quickly. I expect several people will be getting theirs by Thursday. I hope to see lots of pics posted here by next weekend.

I've had several cherry vape tips break on me which is one reason I was afraid to get a lava tank. I would absolutely hate to have my lava break. So far, so good. But you can bet that I am extremely careful with it. I wish I could replicate the tank also in order to replace all my non-lavas. Unfortunately, I would probably suck at it. I am fascinated by the process though. A local woodworkers' shop offers classes on how to make pens out of the blanks using their equipment. I'm very tempted to sign up for the class just for the fun of it. My husband can make just about anything, but there's a lot more involved with the lava tanks than you might realize. Jonboy uses a computer program to assure the tanks' specs are met correctly and he has some really nice equipment. I think it would be difficult to replicate what he does, even for a pro.

Good luck to everyone tonight. I just dropped $300+ over the last couple days getting a German Shepard from the shelter so I have to set this one out. I'll be game for the next sale. The batch looks great Jon.
Awesome Nic! I'll be rooting for you next sale. :)

Old Man, a Corvette and Interstate 90"


A Montana senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible out of the dealership.
Taking off down the road, he was running at 85 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what little hair he had left.
"Amazing," he thought as he flew down I-90, pushing the pedal even more.
Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a Montana State Trooper, blue lights flashing and siren blaring.
He floored it, hit 110 mph in a blink of an eye, then 130 just as fast, then 140!
Suddenly he thought, "What am I doing? I'm too old for this!"
He decided to pull over to await the trooper's arrival.
Pulling in behind him, the trooper got out of his vehicle and walked up to the Corvette.
He looked at his watch, then said, "Sir, my shift ends in 30 minutes.
Today is Friday. If you can give me a new reason for speeding--a reason I've never before heard -- I'll let you go."
The old gentleman then said: "Three years ago, my wife ran off with a Montana State Trooper.
I thought you were bringing her back."
"Have a good day, Sir," replied the trooper.

Afternoon corps. Last night was a blast and went smooth as silk. The whole mood last night was so much more relaxed than the sale before. I almost didn't participate this time due to all the drama and bad vibes I got from last sale. Last night was fun again. Just the excitement minus all the drama. Perfect! The fact that I scored a tank was just icing on the cake.
