For a long time fasttech has carried a plastic bell cap that looks similar to a Plasma tank. It probably wouldn't take much tweaking to make it out of quartz.

Trippy tips had the first Kayfun plasma tank and it's just amazing to use. No need to remove juice for rewicking or changing a coil. Unscrew to fill instead of removing the screw. Now the one on Vape 95 looks exactly the same. I haven't noticed Vape 95 being a Trippy tip vendor. Another USA product goes to cloneville.

I'm aware of the Plasma Tank's history, but my point is (as you are aware) that it won't take China long to clone it. There was a bell cap that wasn't a solid glass piece, it was a clear tank (probably glass) that still used the Kayfun metal chimney:

China cloned it in acrylic apparently before the rest of the world even heard about the original. It looks like it's probably cr@p.

Sadly, if when a counterfeit (I'm stressing counterfeit, because the Plasma design is so original), comes out it might end up like the counterfeit Rüzgar, that is nothing like the authentic except in appearance.

I sent Bert from trippy a email and he's still making the tanks. Boulder vapor carriers them and if out of stock he'll get me one. I thought china did him in.
Did you ask him about those other glass tanks?

I did when he replied to my email. I'm sure they are clones as he directed me to Boulder vapor. They just updated their site and they have all 3 sizes in stock. Order being placed.

While he can't stop China, he might be able to do something about Vape95. Even if he doesn't have the name trademarked, he could make some noise about them selling a clone without identifying it as a clone.

Good point. I hope he does something as Vape 95 doesn't mention clone.

Haven't you guys always called it Boulder?

There is Boulder Vapor and Wyoming Vapor which now sells the Plasma tank. My first one came from Trippy, the second one Bert sent me to Boulder, and now my third is coming from Wyoming. I just love the wild west. Sure beats the hell out of buying from china.

Vape95 is a member of VU. They don't have a vendor thread, or are very active, but you could call them out. See, I stalk everything. I've found obscure vape gear for people, I found Steve some shoes for one of his lady friends; I just like to find things.

Oh no! The owner's DOB is on his VU profile. I swear I wasn't looking for it! I just wanted to know when he last posted (8/16/15).
