looking for a locking style carto tank

[Jonibrasco]

This is my first post. I'd just to say thank you for being here. I started vaping on Jan 1 and haven't looked back since. So far I have tried cartos and a mini nova, but I would really like to try a carto tank. I tend to be rough and butterfingered at times so I am definitely afraid of a tank pulling off and dumping juice everywhere. I noticed that smoketek has a locking carto tank, and am wondering are there any others? I'd really like to have a stainless tank.

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this. Forgive me I am a ECF newb

Hi and welcome! You might be surprised at how well sealed carto tanks are. They are almost all that I use and I have never had a leaking problem (I'm pretty rough with them too) I have tanks from both of these vendors:

I also wanted a stainless, solid, tank, but watching I can't say I'm terribly scared of the Pyrex tanks any more! I also have to say a sight window is helpful at the least! Check out Bigdaddy vapors, Big Daddy Vapor the big daddy and lil mama tanks are pretty close to what I think you would want.
The Smok tank is the only one, right now, that does have the lock on it. I've seriously considered it, but then I think about the hassle filling it up! Right now, I take off the drip tip, slide the tank up, fill, and go on. With that I'd have to take it off the battery, unscrew the lock, then use the drip tip to push the carto down, or buy the "Slap your mama" tank filling tool. Which for $14, I'd rather have another tank!

Proper fitting tank o-rings don't need a lock. Poorly fitting o-rings, like what you find in Smoktech tanks ... well ... even a lock won't help much.
The inside diameter of the end caps is to small, forcing them to use to thin an o-ring.
