i am going to send my prive tank to bert, the guy who makes the trippy tips and he is going to make me a matching glass tank and tip for it. should be pretty slick

Sounds very cool.. I'd like to see some pictures of that when you get it done. If I ended up investing in a ZAP I'd be looking all over for some kind of green tank to replace the default clear one LOL!

i know they make blue for sure, electronicstix carries the blue tank tubes that i've seen, and hey maybe even OCD over at IBTanked can hook you up with a tube for it and have it painted any color you'd like

the 3ml take the regular size boge correct? looks like a nicely priced tank. how long have you had yours and is it holding up well? loose or tight? i had a siam glass tank once that looked great but it was very loose.

For the 3ml tank, im using a smoktech shorty carto. It's a nice tight fit as of now and I haven't noticed any liquid getting down to the o rings. Everytime I pull the carto out to refill it makes a little pop sound from the suction it creates. It's not very tight to the point where you have to yank the carto out of the tank but tight enough where there's no leaks and I can also pull the APV out of my pocket while holding the tank. Here's a picture of it on my provari:

What sort of set-up do you have for drilling? I'm picturing some sort of mini drill press and vice grips. I can't see myself grabbing the Bosch and free-hand drilling a hole into a carto. Small hand drill (Dremel family)?

I haven't had any problems using a punch tool. Well, except the Depth Charge tank is such a tight fit that an even slightly misshapen carto won't allow me slide it through the caps. Their top caps pop off pretty easily though so hasn't been an issue.

I measure and mark the height of the hole, lightly put it in a vise, tap it with a center punch and drill it with a Makita cordless drill in low range. Just go nice and easy and stop as soon as it's through the carto. I tried without center punching and it didn't work, walked around, but a light center punch and it was easy peasy!

I've got to get me a Provari

I love mine.. With the extended cap and bigger batteries, a full charge will last me a day and a half.

When I got mine it was between it and the Lavatube. I'm sure it's a good VV device but I was looking at YouTube vids proving you won't get the volts you're supposed to when the battery gets low. Could be fixed in their newest release but no idea since I never bought one.

I just like the fact that when I hold this thing, its industrial grade .. like you could probably run over this thing lol

The New Premium Prive tank!!! But it is prrretty much limited.

I noticed not many sites had any of them available ... I think I'll stick to my IBTanked tanks for now... Probably try the Z atty Pro if Provape can get them back in stock.. Still want more of these tanks though. If I end up getting a ZAP I'd probably ask IBTanked for some kind of custom tube piece for it. I know they've got several for the Cobra.. I'd try one of those but the ZAP seems a bit easier to set up IMHO

OCD (the owner of IBTanked) has a thread here, if you get measurements of the tube he can most likely get a replacement for it...other than that, i do know that electronicstix has blue glass for the ZAP, and as a point of advice, it's probably easier to find a ZAP in the classified section, i know i saw a couple floating around earlier tonight, that's where i ended up getting mine, it's almost futile trying to play the F5 game and get one with provape

It's funny that you brought up being run over because mines was actually run over by my friends giant tundra and nothing happened to it other than the top cap coming a bit loose and some scuff marks around it. I've had the lavatube before I got the provari and it felt very weak like if I were to drop it, it would just break but its not a bad device at all. I just wanted something more sturdy because I tend to drop my PV a lot

Another run over by a truck. What's with trucks and Provaris? lol. :D

I would reccomed a vivi nova for when your out or a z-atty when your home. Kir Fanis just released a tank that has a specia base to work with the provari

I've tried the Vivi Nova... Didn't enjoy the draw on it or the flavor. My next three liquids from HHV come in today. Will see how those are, and see if I've found my all day vape before investing in a ZAP..

The Vecchio -something- from Ahlusion SEEMS like it could be what I'm looking for but I'll have to time that one just right lol!

Actually, the last batch was on for three or four days! Maybe everyone was broke over Christmas, maybe there's not as much demand, maybe Zen made more? I'm not sure, but everyone on the Provape forum was shocked they ran that long!

I noticed they were up for a long time.... I thought maybe they ere going to keep enough in stock. If there's none on here and they're sold out I might try the Cobra RBA

They will get more, it seems to be around every two weeks they get them in. Watch the Provape forum, there are members there always announcing when they are in stock.

Good deal.. Will be deciding which liquids from EC Blend and HHV I want reorder along with 2or 3from Ahlusion. Other than just buying a back up Provari and the saving up while I go vulture tracking down a ZAP. lol

The cobra and Agat both seem fairly easy as well but I think for the simplicity the ZAP would be what I'm willing to do lol
