I have glass tanks from IBTanked and a polypro one from Valley View Vapes (they also sell pyrex), and I just picked up a couple of these (due to being polypro and having a good price): 510 SCT-V2 3.5ml Tank
You actually don't have a sig, so I looked on your profile page. A Spinner battery is essentially an eGo, so you'll want a slim profile tank unless you want to look like Thor.
You don't want a metal tank for a Spinner (see above), they will be too large.
I suggest a 3.5 ml polypropylene-tubed tank kit from My Vapor Store which you can get for around $22.
510 Pro DCTank Combo
IBTanked has slim (the 19mm diameter) pyrex tank kits for $25. https://www.ibtanked.com/kits/complete-tanks
Aside from the great deal that Ocelot posted above, all other tanks on the market will either be to large for a Spinner or not be safe for the tank-cracker juices.

I talked to Adam @ Vapor Phoenix and the tank I linked to is the same one - the same as the SmokTek: SmokTank XL - Blue Dual Coil Cartomizer Tank - New tank design for 510 PV's! 3.5ml 1.5ohm Adam just doesn't have as many colors.
So unless you have your heart set on a specific color & a chrome drip tip you can get the tank (carto/drip tip included) for $6.00 and replacement cartos for $1.99 = I spent around $16.00 for the same set up as My Vapor Store.

Is the window in the Kanger MT3 clear or frosted? If it is clear, it is likely polycarbonate and suseptible to tank cracking juices. Frosted and it is likely polypropylene and safe.
I've never been able to confirm the material, and I can't tell from pictures online.

Ocelot, that's a nice deal from Vapor Phoenix. Nice find.

I haven't received them yet, so I will see what I think after I try them.
Just make sure they have either metal or silicone caps/grommets. My first glass tank had beautiful acrylic ones that melted.
Acrylic is incompatible just as polycarbonate. The caps I got were acrylic. If you get metal or silicone you will be fine (some tanks use metal caps, while others use grommets).
The new ones are on the left, the right is after a few weeks of using cinnamon juice

i had a DCT tank and whenever i accidentally tip over my smoke stick itll come off from the inside of the cartomizor. I think the ARG cartomizer tank is a better build since its threaded all over. either than that, since im clumsy i have dropped it and it holds up solid.
I got a glass tank from 505vapor for 20 bucks. I can't wait for it to get here.
Can you explain how metal or delrin sleeves prevent a tank from cracking? I've never understood how that's possible.
Are you planning on using other cartos with it? I'd be interested to hear if a standard Boge 510 carto will fit in it or if it's like most of those tanks, they require the XL.
The plastic tube can be removed and replaced with a metal one. Mini ViVi Nova Metal Tubes - SILVER [gv-MiniViViNovaMetalTube-SILVER] - $3.45 : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and morei_is_surf said:
The Vivi Nova tanks that are metal and have a juice viewing window are not safe for use with tank crackers, as the window is made of polycarbonate.
Polycarbonate plastic (clear plastic used in clearomizers and clear tubed tanks) is susceptible to cracking or melting when in contact with certain flavors of e-juice. Materials such as glass, polypropylene plastic, or metal are immune to this chemical reaction.
If you are inquiring about the IBTanks, they have a standard length tank that will fit a standard 510 Boge carto.

A standard Boge is 35mm and these [510 SCT-V2 3.5ml Tank] take 45mm.
ETA: I stand corrected - see Baditude's post

I don't have any of the standard length, but don't the cartos have to have a flange?
