Spectrum's Tankapalooza - Hyper Color Pyrex Tanks and Tips for RBA's and More!

word to the wise, the orings for the HC brass kraken suck, do the new tanks come with orings?

and to add to that, it's that the HC from 101 vape doesn't have the top oring, just one at the bottom. Which would be cool except that top oring stops juice from coming down the outsides of the tank I found someone selling replacement kits for it with screws and such so not a big problem


Does anyone know what size the AFC top part's orings are? I would like to grab some of those now. I haven't exhausted my searching but I was already typing out this post here. Whoever has the answer please post here or PM me

Any update on the chromed glass?
My Aga T3 sure could use a nice amber chrome tank to match all the brass.......
and it looks like it could use some more juice and a good polish too.

Got my tubes today - ooohhhh so pretty!!!! And thanks much for the "sumthin' extra" - that was totally unexpected and graciously accepted!

And Uno Mas was so right - that teal is beautiful!

Sumthin extra was a nice touch yes the teal is outrageous. But I'm running the blue right meow haha. When the glow in the dark drops I'm on it.

I got the blue a while back for another topper, and yes it just "pops".

Not yet...I need to place an o-ring order soon. Think I sent you one of the last sets we had?

You're the first one to ask since I posted the pic Unfortunately the mirror/chrome effect failed a durability test....Top shelf bound. If used with care most folks wouldn't have any problems but we need to avoid any possible issues down the road. On the bright side...The metallic tanks worked out perfectly. I think the gold would look really sharp on that set-up!

Thanks! Nice to hear you like the teal!! That color was suggested in this thread last year...tuned out to be fairly popular. My pleasure sending the extras

I'm thinking less might be more when it comes to tips. It's short, straight and thick walled. What do you guys think?

 

[Uno mas]

Suggestion....

Would be nice if it fit the Russian and Kayfun seamlessly, just sayin'

I definitely love the straight tips!!!! Yes....YES....Please....Please!!!! Then I would need a smoke one, an amber one, a blue one and a teal one - oh and a red one and a green one!!!!!!

 

[jfountain2]

Straight tips.... did someone say straight tips?


HELL YES!


Umm.... Would the blue straight tips (assuming you get blue) match the old blue tanks?

Wow.jpg That's so hard. Ya, make every color(glow in the dark *cough* *cough)

I wrote that post before I got them in the mail Yes you hooked me up with a single set. Which is all I needed. But I really need to find out what size the orings are for the AFC cap :/ I haven't been able to find that anywhere.

Tanks and tips could be made for the Russian/Kayfun but they would definitely be specialty items. Kinda like Protank glass.

Done deal! Gonna make some chubby tips. New blue/purple for everything made going forward. Straight tips will replace the tapered and once we cycle through the tanks all will be the same. This is a good time to make the conversion. BTW...the tapered tips will be going on clearance soon.

Not really...

They come with (at least the Russian) drip tip adaptor that will accept any standard drip tip. I'll shoot a picture for you

 

[murtcepS]

Thanks Uno! I don't have either one on hand so that would be helpful. Was going off memory from when I was looking into the tank.

JF...The difference between the new blue/purple and old is very subtle. The exact same pigments are used... just diluted 10%. The pic I posted was taken in bright light to show the contrast. Once mounted and separated by the cap it's going to be difficult to tell a difference.

Kayfun tanks????? I gotta know how much that's gonna cost me.... could really use a smoke kayfun tank so...

How much for the smoke kayfun tank?
How much for the blue straight drip tip?
How much for the gold metallic Aga T3 tank?
How much for a viable explanation to my wife for why I had to have all the stuff above?

 

[Uno mas]

It safe to say there's no way a tube for the Kayfun or Russian in happening unfortunately being threaded We are talking about drip tips

You beat me to it Uno

Just took a look at the Kayfun Lite 3.1 and it appears to have a threaded tank. The Russian tank appeared to be identical without threading but the photo wasn't very clear. Multiple versions of both with no prototypes on hand makes it impossible to quote a price. One thing is for sure...We wouldn't be able to thread the glass

Straight tips $13.50
Metallic tanks $12.50 (Pyrex)
Because she has 30 pairs of shoes

30 pairs of shoes HAH! That's the understatement of the year....

I think I'm going to have to get one of the glass kayfun tank kits so I can check the sizing and make sure we can get some spectrum tanks for them No one else has seen them yet?? Normal and short tank kits in glass for the kayfun.
