I understand about using certain materials to keep costs down, but look at the design, craftmenship, and overall quality of materials of this tank. And then they use a plastic tube to hold the most vital part of a tank -- the juice. Unbelievable! :facepalm:

Yeah, it's clear so that makes it pretty, and it's probably easier to mold and work with, but clear plastic limits the juices you could put in this tank. Polypropylene admittingly would cheapen the look of this tank, although functionally it would be better than the other plastic. Pyrex is the ONLY tube material worthy for this tank.

+100. I concur 100%

I usually prefer pyrex, but I went ahead and ordered the Prive and the VARADERO tanks. I just couldnt help myself. Kind of a cool thing, is that they send you an extra mini tube to test your juice in first to make sure it wont harm the finish. It is made of a different material than the polycarb and poly..... dang cant remember, but it is supposed to be a food grade and tougher than the other 2 more common poly materials. I just thought these were beautiful and since I dont really use citrus or fruit or the cinnamon ejuices that are known to ruin plastic.

I keep seeing that they were designed specifically for Provaris, but I am going to put them on top of my Saber Touch.

I just got my Kir Fanis tanks. I got both the Varadero and the Prive. I have to say, they are bit more expensive but well worth it. They come with extra tanks and extra screws( for the Prive, it has a top screw for filling) they came with complete extra o-rings, and they have a wonderful detail. On the bottom endcap they have a beautifully machined groove for airflow. This is great because some of you tank users notice that when you put tanks on your MOD flush to the 510 connection and want a gapless look you cut off the airflow and can sometimes burn your carto. or get no vape at all. I love them, and even if I have to be careful with juice its worth it. They also came with little "test" tubes so you can test your juices before filling up your tank. I will post a photo when my Saber Touch gets back from the Dr. It had a bad accident. :(

LOL, I thought you meant you were waiting for "me" to sell them. Avid=anavidfan. I was going to say; NO WAY, these are keepers.
BTW the Prive drip tips are works of art. Heavy beautifully machined. I have to say the Kir Fanis stainless drip tips and the Super-T manufacturers are the best stainless steel drip tips. I also got a wonderful Kir Fanis delrin shorty tip, it is great, and it matches my black aluminum Vivi Nova tank perfectly, you'd swear they were made of the same satin finish.
