So I'm about to pull the trigger on a new Buzzpro and this M1A1 tank they have on their site caught my eye. I have an ego tank and have never really been impressed with it at all, but I'm intrigued to try a carto tank honestly. I'm mainly a carto person these days with my e-power.

Does anyone have one? Does it work well, any gripes with it?

The whole setscrew knob has me a little worried that it'll be kinda cumbersome to pocket easily, but the pictures could easily be making it look worse than it is.

The site also says "use 1" tank with Boge cartos" - so is the 1" size for standard cartos? What does the 1.5" size fit?


So psyched to ditch this god awful e-power for a rootbeer with brass caps buzzpro :D Just need to figure out the tank situation then I'm sending my order in!

Thanks for the help!

Yeah, I don't really expect there to be any similarities between the T-tanks and the M1A1.. the T was terrible in almost all respects. I'm just hoping the tank doesn't have any leaking issues. The video on Notcig's site of them smashing it with a hammer makes me feel better too.

I'm pretty sure I'm gunna go for it. The matching endcaps are cool as hell, plus I found a coupon code :)

I've used it every day since it first came out, no issues at all.

The only note I have is that the thumbscrew works quite well, but you don't have to crank it down really hard. As long as it's making any contact with the carto it locks it into place nicely. (even without the thumbscrew it tends to be a pretty solid fit)

Well, I am no expert, I have had mine for 2 days... I have pulled the screw, inserted a syringe in the hole and filled it up pretty easy. Just dont' block the hole completely, leave room for air to escape.

+1. I've had issues with other tanks leaking (MAP DCT) because of the air pressure building up upon refill. But, with the side hole it's a lot easier to fill with syringe, let it sit for a second with the hole breathing, then seal. No leaks. Best tank I've used so far, and I see myself picking up more in the future. A little pricy, but it plain works as intended and I'd recommend it to anyone.

I've had mine for several weeks and plan on picking up another one for my other MOD. I love it and have no desire to ever use another tank. It is more expensive, but in this case you do get what you pay for. An amazying tank that has no juice cracking issues, doesn't build up pressure and is simple to fill. You can't go wrong.
