Smoktech Pyrex carto tanks any good?

[cocacola31173]

I have a chance to get these at a good price and was wondering how good they are. The only carto tanks I have been using are IBtanked but would like s couple of these for outta the house.

Smoktech 510 Pyrex (DCT) Tank

Thanks!

Having had IBTanks, you'll likely be disappointed in the quality of the Smoktech pyrex DCT tanks. The end caps are fixed and can not be removed for easy cleaning of the tanks, and the o-rings can not be replaced. The o-rings are not as good of quality, so the tank may slide too easily off of the carto if you're not careful.

Other than the above cons, these are a decent gateway into novice-level cartotanks. My

A much better option, since you already have cartomizers for your IBTanks, would be the Smoktech polypropylene DCT tanks ($8.55) from My Vapor Store. These have removeable end caps, are safe for all flavors of e-liquid, and with better quality o-rings which prevent the tank from sliding off the carto.

That link isn't working for me so I can't tell which version of Smok tank you're looking at but I've had very good results with these"

I've several of these in the small and large size from different vendors and the o-rings are tight and haven't failed me yet. I use them alongside my IBTankeds. Since then end caps are fixed they're essentially disposable once the o-rings give out, though.

I picked up a couple of these as backups. They work fine but I have read the internal glass is thin and can break if you ding the tank on something. If the price is right though they are handy.

The Smok Tech pyrex tanks can indeed be disassembled, and the o-rings can be replaced. I've done two of mine.

I have two and the end caps are not removable on mine. Looking at the Smoktech website for the Pyrex DCT V1 and V2, it says they are non detachable. Not saying you couldn't dig out the O-ring but it would be entertaining to say the least.

They work fine.
If u just want to try one to see if you like it. Thats what i did. Now i use ibtaanked.
But i paid only $6 for the smoktechs so it was worth it to see if cartotanks were good for me

I've removed the caps on two of my 5ml Smoktech tanks, and removed the glass tubes. Maybe they aren't intended to be, but Desert Vapes sells the o-rings that go on the ends of the pyrex tube as well as the ones that seal the carto.

 

[Ladiekali]

I think china buye sells them completely disassembled for even cheaper

I will say this the one thing i love about them is the bottom and how the flanged carto kinda pops into place, i have never had a issue removing a tank.

The ibtanks i have had the problem of the tank just spinning and spinning

But with the ibtanks you can hot box it , thats what i call it, when you switch out cartos with out dumping any juice out, and they come with extra orings and replacing the orings keeps it from spinning.

But also my colored end caps are chipping and my dct tanks havnt chipped

 

[txcolt]

Patrick, let me know how you get them apart? I have looked over mine but I can't even get a knife edge between the caps and the outer metal. You might do a write up on it. Most people look at these as disposable but I hate throwing anything away I can tinker with and fix.

 

[Baditude]

The caps are definitely designed to not be removeable from the tube. The design is intentional to keep the caps from accidentally coming apart and spilling juice. Why smoktech doesn't just put higher quality o-rings in their tanks is beyond my comprehension.

Which Smok tank is that? I have some 5ml PBCs and I need the gaskets/o-rings/thingies

 

[badwolf91]

removing my post as I thought this was the one with thin lines to see your juice and housed with a metal/colored outside that looks like vivi nova, not the one that looks more like an iclear in the above pic and previous pic



should have just googled the name lol, just used to that being the main smok pyrex tank I have seen around

These
4.5ml DCT Tank) for 35mm Cartomizers

Here, #7 is for inside the tank at the ends of the pyrex tube. #5 is for the inner, where the carto itself seals into the tank. (link says blunt tip needle cap, but goes to o-rings)
