You are probably right ;)....but what the hey (they were really cheap!) If they work great - if they don't no biggie.

I know I want to order the Orange full size tank (any idea on the ETA of the matching Orange DT? - you know I like matchy things :p)

And then I really need to look, I think I also need a Smoke one and probably another DT to go with that...will have to take inventory and will probably order tomorrow :D.

I like matchy things! With only 2 sizes having orange available I was gonna hold off on making the tips. Think we need to have a fire sale on anything pink and dedicate a production run to orange! Love the way that color came out! Here it is....

So, Mike - gotta question for ya before I pounce on the new RH tanks. I currently use your TC Nano tanks (#23) with my RH Nano Kit. It works okay once I've managed to load 'er up, but I seem to lose a lot of liquid when I'm trying to fill this combo. Liquid is spat back up the fill hole, no matter how slow I fill. I've tried filling from the bottom, and from the the top cap as well. Same story. Is the ID on #23 larger than the ID on your new RH tanks (#'s 24 & 25)? I'm hoping your RH specific tanks will fix this problem! :)

Anyone else have this issue? The fault could be my own, but, if anyone out there in TV land has noticed this and found a way to fill this combo without the backspat issue, feel free to gimme some pointers? :D

Oh, I also noticed that Teal is not currently a color option for #'s 24 & 25. Was this an oversight when you listed them, or are they simply not available in this size?

Thank you in advance!

I think Elantis has ya covered on that one but a proper length tank can't hurt. We use the same tubing for TC and RH...Just different o-rings and lengths. The o-ring in the top cap should be completely sealed using the shorter RH tanks. I'm getting a full vacuum effect right now :)

Orderin' a smoke tube tomorrow :D

As promised... Order 1 and I'll send ya 3! You guys just put the other ones you want in the "Merchant Instructions" part of PayPal. I'll take care of ya :D

I really have only had that problem on a couple of the "cheap" clones, but with these tanks - they look like a "million". :D

Thank you for your generosity - I need a few more colors to brighten up my world. :)

I recently purchased a Vaperfexion Pro-2 carto tank from the classies....and wondering if you have anything close to this size:

OD 22.22mm
Thickness 1.5mm
Height 26.65mm

The O-rings are like 17mm OD X 2mm thick.

The tanks for the RH look like a good fit on the OD but the O-rings don't touch the interior - I really like the tank as it looks awesome on the pthingies but clear is such a boring color :D

The Z-Atty tanks would be the closest. I know how you like to tinker and make things work... Might be able to shim the bottom with a small CS o-ring if needed.

OD 22mm
Thickness 1.5mm
Height 25.5mm

Ooooo...that sounds promising - must try one of those!!! Too bad I already sold my Z-atty :(

And the height wouldn't be a big deal, just means the carto would peek a little out of the top ;)

I've found an old bottlecap that has a flexible needle tip that seems to work much better than the 18ga. blunt tip. No need for me to bust out the Dremel and ruin anything. :)

And thank you for the promised extras! Soon as I can make a decision, an order will be made! Much Appreciation, Amigo! :thumbs:


Oh, and the Teal is currently a no go, I assume?

Omgosh!!!! I just realized with the Z-atty tubes I can get Sparkles!!!!!!!!! Ok - now to decide what color sparkles would look awesome with the Pro V2 tank and on which Provari....me thinks I might be ordering the Graphite one first and if all is well with the fit, then I will order other colors :D

Order in! :D

And, the sun is shining, so I thought I'd share a quick photo of the Tankapotamus Family thus far. :)

Very Nice looking family you got there!!!

Lookin good bigcase! Thanks for posting :) Sorry I missed your question. We ran into a delay with teal because the coloring was on backorder. Just about set now... Will be adding teal to the website Thursday or Friday :D

No problem. :) Dang the luck though, I just ordered a few hours ago. Hehe!

I don't envy you, I'm already terrible at making up my mind. A bigger selection would stress me out! :D

Shiny/Sparkly things :D The Graphite looks awesome in the sun!

Haven't packed it up yet. If you don't mind waiting an extra a day or two for shipping I'd be more than happy to swap one out for ya.

Long awaited smoke tube ordered :)

Thanks Uno! Remember...Buy 3 and I'll send you 1 :D

The teal is my favorite without a doubt, the Amber is also a beautiful color...

Already have a Teal on the other rings so I held off askin', will probably pick up another at some point ;)

Really lookin' forward to the smoke, goin' to look nice with the polished Russian assuming I did a good enough job on the rings :)

Excited about the teal ever since Mike showed the photo on the SoV kit. I ordered an amber too! :)

Likewise! Photograph please!


Elantis twisted my arm for a orange tube :p

No arm twisting required for me...after seeing the pictures, I also had to have the orange! :D
