Hiya MJ!

Ooooh! Ooooh! I can finally 'pay it forward' to you! I just got one about a week ago!

Quite frankly, I think it's GREAT! No leaking! I've turned it every which way, laid it down on its side for over a day, had it sitting upright for over a day, have shaken it, twisted it, pulled the carto part way out and then pushed it back in (because I had screwed it on too tight and couldn't get it off to change the KGo battery without having something firm to grab onto), and other assorted abuse and it has stayed dry!

My only issue with it (and it's not the tank's fault) is that it doesn't wick up 100% VG very well so I've been dripping a few drops directly onto the carto to keep it wet every now and again. Not surprising tho, 100% VG is awfully thick. I can't use PG to dilute so I'm tinkering with a little distilled water to that end and I haven't found the 'sweet spot' ratio yet.

All in all, I think if you're a 50/50 or some such ratio juicer, it should work well for you. I'm not sure I like the dual coil carto better than my Resurrectors, so the jury is still out on that, but I DO like this tank!

I posted on this forum a day or so ago, asking what tanks work best with 100% VG, but so far, only 2 kind souls have responded.

...thanks Sis, consider it payed!!!! After looking at all the tanks available, comparing prices, checking reviews and being handy with a well equipped shop, I ordered 3' of polycarb tubing and 50 vinyl grommets from Amazon and will see what I can turn out to use with my Resurrectors...thanks................

And they should work well, most of the time the carto just has to be punched enough to cause a hole in the metal and I usually punch 2 holes and they end up around 1/32 to 1/16 and work for any juice I have with the boges and tanks. I do suggest prying up a part of the grommet to fill the tanks rather than just sliding a needle through as I nicked up a grommet up enough for it to leak

J, I have read most of the syringe tank mod thread and used the links YOU gave in another thread for the grommets and tubing...ya know what that means??? If it doesn't work, it's ALL YOUR FAULT...lololol...........

It will be my fault that your cartos may last longer because I posted links, but I am sure vermonster13 is credited with coming up with the design. I still replace my cartos after a week or two, and I fill the carto the first time like I would if I was going to vape the carto and then only fill the tank 3/4 full. As long as you don't get the dry burnt carto taste and the tank isn't empty then don't worry, the top of the carto won't have the same soaked look with the tank

Well I have purchased 2 tanks from Volcano and they look to be the same as these offered from MV. I didn't like the dual coils so I swapped it out with my ressurectors, but the only issue is that they don't have the flange to keep the tank from slipping off the cartos. My solution to the problem was to cut down my ego cone to fit under the tank so it doesn't slip down anymore. Here is a pic of mine...
