Lava Tanks, Tubes & Clearomizers

[radicalfrog]

Here's my solution: buy a Phiniac tank.

Here's how to make it better: Have them sandblast Ms. T's logo on it.

Actually, I am a bit of a hypocrite here, because I don't have a phiniac yet. I also just bought your liquid for the first time. Regardless, I know almost nothing about tanks yet, but I know I'm never gonna buy those polycarbonate or just plasticky ones ever. Buy once and buy glass.

Here's the thing. I am creating all night and all day. I really don't have time to keep fillin the cartomizer so you don't get that nasty taste you get when it goes dry. So these tanks are just right up my alley.

Who sells the glass ones? I will buy them in a heart beat.

Phiniac is really, really cool. You or whoever does your graphics should make a cool black and white version of your logo so I can get it sandblasted, like I was mentioning earlier! I'll put the link at the bottom.

Know that in no way am I affiliated with Phiniac. I barely know about tanks, but I DO know that this one is glass. I am not aware of any other glass tanks, but I know they exist. Also, I think anything not polycarbonate is okay. Delrin is the other solution? The fuel tank is one of those. They are kinda pricier too.

Phiniac: Phiniac Glass
Fuel Tank: 5.5ML ALL DELRIN FUEL TANK

I just like the Phiniac cuz of being able to get them to put my designs on it. Besides that, I don't have much advice.

P.S. Very excited to get my first shipment of Ms. T's juice. I ordered yesterday!

Thanks so much for that info! Finally found something with your help!!! Thank You So Much!!

OK remember that I am new to this thing LMAOOO So will those fit the standard 510 devices? My 510 cartos fit on my Lava Tube so that means these will work too? The description doesn't say that....that's why I am asking LMAOOO

and you have to buy the atty separate? HELP LMAOOOOOOO

 

[ksamim]

Regular 510 Boge cartos should fit in the regular version, but don't take my word for it!

Have you seen any videos of how to use tanks? I can link you some of the more illuminating ones, but it's all pretty self explanatory. Also make sure you have PUNCHED cartos, or use a dremel (or other stuff) to drill your own cartos.

Actually I kinda have an idea but there are a lot of people out there that has no idea. And this will help all my customers with this tank issue. So explain away LMAOOOO You can even post the link to the video. I would love to see it.

Thanks So Much For All The Help!!

No need to thank me! Just keep makin your fantastic juices.

Okay! I am not particularly endorsing the Phiniac tank. I hear decent things about the fuel tank as well, it's just that I suggest anything with delrin or glass so as to avoid the cracking issue.

Reviewers like GrimmGreen or PBusardo or any of the millions of reviewers out there are much better suited to talk about the quality of these goods. I don't have access to the resources they have!

I bought glass tanks for my cinnamin juices I knew they could crack plastic tanks.

Thank You So Much for your help with this. Now one more question that I think is on everyone's mind. Is there anything cheaper? LMAOOOOO Cause those suckers are pretty pricey! LOL

Coupons go up for the Phiniac VERY often. I think there's one until May 2nd (code: haveablast) for the sandblasted one. 15% off? Let me see if I can find any others...

Yeah, it looks like they are all around $40 for _glass_ tanks. I searched for more delrin tanks, and the link at the bottom seems interesting. It looks like you can buy cheap delrin "sleeves" for your existing tanks, which will prevent a leak from being disastrous. Anything not polycarbonate is a good choice.

NOTE: Apparently, in my 5 minutes of research, I learned that delrin _is_ affected by cinnamon oil in a _severe_ way, but delrin does not crack like polycarbonate does under this stress. Normal heat and pressure can cause it to crack, however. That's also true with glass, of course.

WOW Thanks again for all the great information!

Absolutely! Anyone reading this (you too, Ms. T!) feel free to keep asking questions. I will update this thread the more I learn about these.

Ideally, as with most things in vaping, people can learn enough to fine tune and DIY their own devices for the perfect experience. I think places such as Lowe's or Home Depot could cut glass/delrin tubing and sell you grommets for you to make/maintain your own tanks.

Other than this, I will post any good deals or all-liquid-friendly tanks I find. For now, refer to that Phiniac coupon as the best deal I've found so far. The next best seems to be at theEcig.com at $44. I cannot comment on their quality, only where you can go to get them and what they are.

OMIGOSH GOOD IDEA Ms. T could totally sell her own tanks! ;-)

OMIGOSH I would love it! LMAOO Who would make them? I totally don't have the time. I do have a black and white version of my logo too.

I would love for you to keep this thread updated because my customers would love to know what works best.

PS Check your order comments. *wink*

Glass and stainless steel tanks will not crack because of juices. The DCT tanks are starting to be made with polypropylene tubes which is said to survive juices better.

Thank you Ms. T! You're so sweet!

If I figure out how all this works, I'll make a nice thread in your forums about how to set one up. Then maybe someone might start makin' them and supplying them for ya! If I ever get downtime between Ph.D. courses/research or teaching I would jump on that!

I totally forgot about this and what mfraz said is very important: stainless steel tanks are another excellent alternative for non-cracking tanks. Thanks for mentioning that, mfraz!

 

[mfraz25]

I have been using tanks for about 3-4 months now. I don't use tank cracking juices and when I do, I have sense enough to drip and not tank them.

Great info, I'll have to check it all out tomorrow. It's so hard to know what's going to work best.

Bubbakinns, I know there's a lot of names being thrown around, so let me give you a quick rundown on the problem.

Certain juices are more acidic than others. Plasticky (polycarbonate) tanks crack with these. It doesn't matter what the company says about their tanks, this material suffers with these juices. Keep two things in mind looking for a good all-around tank (if you don't know what the juice will do):

1. Material (use stainless steel, glass, etc., not plastic)
2. Thickness (the thicker, the more resistant to pressure/juice wear/heat it will be)

If you find a tank and want advice on it, send me a PM or, better yet, post it here. People more educated than me (like mfraz!) might be able to steer you the right way.
