Since I'm n00b, I don't even know if the tank by itself makes any differences in flavor & vapor but my Smoktech Pyrex DCT has very little window (pyrex glass) so when I pour juice in, it gets little hard time to time. I've heard about Cirrus tanks, Kanger tanks. I don't think the tank makes any changes as long as they are all pyrex glass (doesnt get cracked when certain juice is being used..?) but I need extra tank anyways to switch the flavors. (right now I only have one with Halo Tribecca...nasty stuff...real nasty..) Recommend me some good tanks. Thanks in advance

I really like the IBTanked tanks too. They are made well, and they don't leak. Glass tubes and stainless caps mean you can vape any juice without worrying about them melting or cracking too.

But if you don't use juices that crack tanks, and don't mind a polycarbonate tube, I'm REALLY liking my X8 tanks. They are made for cartos, but they work wonderfully with the new Terminator RDAs. The locking screw on the bottom works like it was made for the Terminator, and the fill screw on top makes life easy for refills...

Yup IB tanked, They through in an extra set of Orings, a Tank tool and a Thingie. The Thingie is just a plastic jar with a lid, but you put your filled tank in, screw the lid on and off a few times and presto chango! Primed carto, their also really handy to store filled tanks in too. A tank changes the flavor only in so much as it provides a steady supply of juice to your cart. Otherwise the type or brand doesn't have any impact on flavor.

If youre on a budget go with IBTanked. For the price they are decent.

If money isnt an issue get a Phiniac, the glass is thicker nd also goes through a special annealing process. I have three Phiniacs that are over a year old and still look brand new. Both of my IBTanks have cracked in that same time period.

You can also use polypropylene tanks. Juice won't crack them and they don't break of dropped. Check out Valley View Vapes (he sells pyrex too).

Good point. I havent had any issues with a Phiniac breaking or cracking and Ive dropped mine at least a dozen times on concrete, tile and other hard surfaces. The annealing process they go through and the thicker glass is worth it to me.

I really like Valley View Vapes as well. I don't know why they don't get more love around here. IMO they make a better tank than IBTanked. The glass is thinker and the end caps seem more substantial as well. Oh and they don't cost as much either. The only down side is that you can only get them with a 25mm outer diameter.

Ray is just a one man gig and sometimes gets overwhelmed with orders and has to shut down for a little while to catch up. He also recently had back surgery. I used to promoted his stuff all the time, but pulled back for awhile. I just got an email that he's up and running so we can pimp his site again! My little economy polypro tank isn't much to look at, but it's a workhorse. ;)

with the Valley view polypro tanks...what are the caps made out of? Worry about them being able to handle tank cracker juices has stopped me from ordering.

I have the economy Triple V, it doesn't have caps, it has silicone grommets. It's a bit of a pain to get the cartos in, but once they're in there is a side screw for filling, so you don't hav to mess with them. I've had my tank for about 9 months and all it's ever had in it was my strongest juice.
