They do sell an Artemas type carto tank with a locking ring at the bottom so it doesnt slip off.
personally i found that the locking part restricted air flow and passed the tank to a friend who loves it.
i like the 6ml carto tanks. i have 3 and have not had a slipping issue(i have dropped the device with the tanks on them several times) with no problems.

I have an IBTanked on my Provari. It's a Pyrex tank and stainless steel caps. This is so I do not have to worry about juice melting my plastic vivi nova's. The complete kit is $25 and comes with a tank tool which help with filling. The orings and the juice itself helps hold it all togeter. No issues so far.

A PBusardo Review & Tutorial - QT-1 (not really a) carto punch and Working with carto tanks - YouTube

Lots of good info in PBrusardo's video. If you don't care about carto punching, start at about 25:00.

Here is how it looks on a Provari.

Hi smoody,

O-rings or threads, it all depends on quality. If the o-ring tanks are of good quality, you can beat them around and still be fine. On the other hand, if you get a badly made threaded tank, it will leak no matter what.

You should try Phil Busardo's blog: TasteYourJuice.com. He has a section called Hardware recommendations, and have a specific portion dedicated to carto tanks. Im confident you can find something there you like.

to b honest i really dont want cheep i want something good. idk what i really want just wondering if the o ring style tank were durable for day to day use. i reallt dont know what i want i was looking at the prive tank for a new tank

You already have a Provari so obviously you being cheap is not an issue. :p Get a Zen Atty Pro and just be done with it. If you can't get one online, get to posting and get verified for the classifieds here. There's usually some for sale there.

Hi - I have both styles and the only problem I have with the O-ring type is that I find it harder to get new cartos in. I don't know if it's true for all tanks like that, but I can't use a tank tool with mine.
