I saw many people using tanks on their Provaris so when I got mine I figured I'd have to try them out and see how they work for me. I got the baby "notta" tank from Stormy's vapor cellar since it was an affordable way to get into tanks and I liked the size. It's pretty bare bones, doesn't come assembled or anything, but for $10 you get the tank, o-rings, a pre-punched carto, and a syringe for filling the tank. Since I've been vaping 100% VG (Boba's!), the syringe is pretty much worthless, the juice is just too thick for the needle. So to refill, I've just been taking off the top o-ring and directly filling the tank. Unfortunately there's not really an "easy" way to do this, I have to wedge something in between the tank and o-ring to pry it out. Not a huge deal, but not the easiest solution either. The o-rings do fit quite snugly on the carto, so it's quite solid and there's minimal slipping, no issues grabbing the PV from the tank.

It serves it's purpose well, but I've been wanting something a little easier to refill and "prettier", if you will. Absolutely LOVE the lava tanks, but it's anybody's guess as to when another sale will happen, although I've heard maybe later in April. Found a bella tank (quite similar looking to the lavas) on the classifieds yesterday, and it should be here later next week!


Would love to hear the comparison from someone with a Lava tank and the other one:)

this is my next rig... just can't make up my mind if I want the big daddy or the lil mama. But I'll tell ya one thing that satin silver with the pro-cise finish wyd LOOKS GOOD!

I wouldn't pick either. Had issues with the big daddy tank leaking. Never had a drop come out of my smoktech 6.5 ml and 3ml tanks.

Yep, it looks great, and the tank matches almost perfectly. It does add some weight to the top end. Not too bad, though. The slap yo mama adapter works really well for filling the tank. These tanks are super tight on the carto, too. No worrying about it accidentally pulling off and dumping your juice.

I'm giving it one more day to see if I can find a v2 satin/blue if not I'm ordering the red. I love the big daddy tank I already have and the slap yo mama tool is great. I love that they are tight on the carto. Just got the siam mods and it slides bad. I think
i'm going with the big daddy wyd tank almost have my mind set on it... might just have to get the lil mama too. prob better get it before my wife puts me on cc restriction. lol.... hopefully have the gold prov by summer. just have to find out how to get a gold plated tank to match. I'll post a pic of the brother to your setup when it all gets here! Keep on vapin!:vapor:

I had the Notta and gave it away. It stinks. But to be honest it is the nuts if you never had a tank before and SVC is a awesome vendor. But ya. Out of 7 tanks it was the worst. If you have one of them then you can also afford the Vision stone 3, stardust, and a dcct that are all apes.

Smoktech 3.5ml dcc. Works great, no leaks, easy to fill. Got another one on the way :)

Nice! I'm digging the blacked out look. I use a smoked tube with polished caps and it looks pretty sweet on my black satin as well. Might have to switch it up with the next refill though, lol.
