Welcome to the thread DCB. There hasn't been a date given for the next sale yet, I speculate it will likely be towards the end of April or early May. Please follow this link for more info.

Lava Tank Rules & Sales Updates : Lavacorps - International Vapers Club

Feel free to ask as many questions as you need to, and good luck!

Thanks, I appreciate it.

What do most who own one prefer? Is it the tighter fit o-rings or the looser kind? Any issues with leaking? What size carto's fir it? Regular boge, xl boge, or dual coil? Thanks again.

The tolerances have been reformed, and there are no longer different O ring options. The fitment is fairly tight, but most don't have any problems removing the top caps or the carto when the need to. These tanks do not leak unless the carto is flooded, then you may get some leaking out of the battery connection on the carto, but this goes for any carto tank. If you follow the instructions on filling properly you should never get leaks. Also when punching the carto, be careful not to punch through the center airtube, this will help alleviate carto flooding issues. You will find these are the easiest tanks to fill once you get the hang of it. It takes me about 10 seconds to remove the cap, fill and replace the cap.

These tanks will accept Boge, Smoktech, and Kanger 35 mm standard length stainless steel cartos, or any other brand of this size. Jon does offer longer tubes to fit XL size (45mm) cartos as well. In addition you can use longer cartos on mods where the tank may interfere with the button operation, or if you have any other reason for the carto to stick out the bottom of the tank a bit.

I did get some softer o-rings in for the tops, just in case anyone had problems getting them off. I prefer the a tighter fit, but I know some folks have problems with their hands. This will give you the option of a tighter or looser fit on the top. I highly discourage using the soft o-rings on the bottom cap. It just make the entire tank too loose in my opinion.

Thanks for the clarification Jon! Your the boss for a darn good reason!
