Placed an order today and got a shipping notification 20 minutes later. Awesome! Does anyone happen to have a picture with a Size 3 tank on a GP SnP? It says it will fit but with more height which will be nice for added juice capacity so I'm hoping it turns out the way I picture it in my mind.

Wish I could help you with that but I don't have one, hopefully someone will chime in for you :)

Just received my 22mm smoked tank and it's a beauty. Now I just need some black (cartotank) caps for it. IBT always seems to be out of stock. Anyone know of an alternative source? Mike, ever consider adding caps to your product line?

From reading in the IBTank pro22 thread it looks as if they will one color that is on the top of the list. They have the ibtpro22 aluminum ready to be anodized in black and red so will be getting the caps along with them.

That smoke mirror prototype looks really nice. When are those being released?

This was in a post murtcepS back in February in response to that question...not sure if he has had any more time dedicated to it since then.

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.

So I got my first Fogger V4 today...and I'm gonna give it just a few days before I break that glass, it is so thin :ohmy:!

I have a V4 on the way for test fitting. I hear the stock tank has some funky Asian dimensions but it's definitely worth a look!

20 minutes isn't bad :D Love it when we're packing them up and get a new order... Would like to see the reactions of people getting shipping notifications in under 5 minutes!

The SnP tanks were basically an afterthought. People were asking for them and sizes 1,2 and 3 all have the same ID/OD as the stock SnP tank. We listed the lengths so people could select what would work best based on carto length.

Thanks! Glad you like it!! :) We looked into having them made last year. Unfortunately the MOQ was more than we could handle at the time so we decided to stick with glass.

YaY!!!! I know from the looks on the inside, this could definitely benefit from thicker glass!! I measured it with the calipers and it only came to about 1.3mm in thickness and just really seems flimsy - also my tube already had gouges in the side of it. :mad:

Good catch Elantis! The first set of samples were absolutely beautiful but were prone to scratching. It's a two coat process...The base coat is a chrome/mirror finish that bonded very well. Bonding the color to the base coat turned out to be problematic though. We made adjustments and ran a second set of samples with the same results. I'm fairly certain all "mirror type" finishes on tanks/tubes are going to have scratching issues. Bummer for sure!

Okay completely off topic but I have to share with someone...today out of 'da blue a package arrived via Fed-Ex for my son - (now understand I see this normally so it's like okay what did he buy now?!? kinda thing) So I am merrily scouring the Forums on my desktop and he is rummaging through the open box, then walks up behind me and hands me this:

It's a Lenovo ideapad Flex15 - my son :wub:'s me.

1.3 is pretty funky! What are you getting for length and OD? :ohmy:

Holy crap! That was REALLY nice of him!! Now you can surf and stalk the mail man :)

Length was like 29.10mm and the OD was 21.05mm...when I dismantled it to clean it, I noticed on the inside grooves that it would handle a much thicker glass.

I have it all put together now and filled w/ juice - I also have a black one coming so it would be nice to have something to replace the flimsy tanks.

(Oh and the laptop is fantabulous, touch screen with Win 8.1 and it's FAST :) - my desktop isn't all that old, but my poor ol' little laptop was barely holding on - it's been retired for a while now...so happy to have another laptop and with the touch screen too!!!!!)

So 21 x 1.3 x 29.1...That's just plain crazy but I'm giving it a go anyways :D

Words of wisdom from the FDA regarding e-cigs...

Premarket review requirements: These actions would improve the public health by affording
FDA critical information regarding the health risks of such products, preventing new products
from entering the market if they are not appropriate for the protection of public health or found
substantially equivalent to an identified predicate product, and reducing the use of misleading
claims and descriptors about the relative risk of tobacco products, which may lead consumers to
initiate tobacco product use or to continue using tobacco when they would otherwise quit.

Sounds like a quote from Animal House doesn't it?

Looks great Strike! Thanks for posting the pic :) Can I steal a copy for the gallery?

The Tarsius tanks are all set. Turns out they fit the Rainbow Heaven version as well :D Quality glass and o-rings makes a BIG difference on the clone! Amber=Tarsius/Purple=RHC
