Beautiful collection. I can't believe that I have spendt $500 + this last week on my Provari, Phiniac, Trippy Tips, etc. and all I can do is still just look at all of your posts. I'm about to jump out of my skin waiting for the postman.

Sounds like me week before last,

Mini, ProVari, Phiniac and Liquinator. No drip tips though but over $500.

Worth every penny. Oh and another mod.

Lavatanks look awesome but they seem so hard to get. I mean crap I saw one Yesterday go for 125.00 on the classifieds that is just insane. Don't they go for like 50 new? Are they glass or plastic? I think I'll just get a phiniac next they seem alot more durable. Are the lavatanks glass as well?

Yup, they're about that much shipped. The Lavatanks tube is made out of plastic. Phiniac tanks are currently the only Pyrex tank that's available. If your interested then you should sign up for the newsletter. They have discount codes sometimes. There's one right now for 5% off and free shipping for the hand blown tanks:

Lavatanks are made of acrylic, wood/acrylic and the newest out of stainless steel. The tubes are poly.

7less7 is beginning to make glass tanks. Including one piece glass mouth pieces. I would grab a link but I am on my phone.

I'm really hoping to get in on the next lava tank sale, they're beautiful tanks and seem fairly priced (from the vendor). I also saw that tank go on the classifieds... I'm not really about paying 3 times what something costs new, I can wait. Phiniac tanks looks awesome as well (and they're made in my home town!) but I like the mini for it's portability and the phiniacs are a little bulky being that they're wider than the provari.

Also read something regarding tanks on another thread about the importance of trying to maintain fairly constant pressure inside the tank. The person mentioned that they had a tank with a fill screw that they'd open about once a day to equalize the pressure. Is that something that would be helpful in getting a consistent vape or does it really matter? I haven't had a super consistent experience with tanks so far, but I've only been using it for about a week and it's one of the cheaper tanks you can get.

You guys are great thanks for the info. Honestly I'm not one to stalk a thread where they are chit chatting all the time. At least have a solid website. For example Reo's are hard to get at times but at least Rob has a site with updates and things. I may be putting up my Kens VV box on the classies for a trade for two Lavatanks as an idea. I dont really use the kens much since I got the provari.

Thanks for the phiniac info wash. They seem like a great supplier I emailed them with a question and they answered quick.

I have a couple of sub tanks from mom & pops. They have a fill hole. I heard the same thing about removing the screw to equalize the pressure, but I haven't really noticed that it makes a difference. The fill hole does make filling easier though for those particular tanks anyway. With the Phiniacs it's easy to fill by just pushing the carto up and filling from the bottom. In the case of the lava tank, the top cap is simple to take off making it easy to fill from the top.

I was just checking those out on their site, they all look really good. Thanks for sharing about them being a little slippy. I hope the fix that.

I wonder if you could find some thicker o-rings that might tighten up a little....?

If you get the matching drip tip it fits in the carto super tight and it wont let the tank slip off, but yeah maybe some different o-rings would help.
