Here's the SOV V2 kit with a larger ID tank and upgraded o-rings. Fitment is superior vs the stock set-up.

This one has G2's Blue Pop Shock written all over it! :D Looks like it might be easier to see the juice level inside the teal, as opposed to the darker blue, too!

I also have the dark blue and it is a bit tougher to see the juice level, end up puttin' a light source behind it, sure is a nice color though :)

Hey EV1! Just wanted to mention that the RH tanks are running a little behind schedule. Hoping for Monday but Tuesday is probably more realistic. Almost there...just gotta do the plastic wrappers :)

Looking forward to it! Got my kit back, by the way. Thank you for the new glass, Mike - beeeyoooteeeful! :)

Hey Mike, any plans to introduce tanks for the Kanger Aerotank Mega and Giant? These are really popular.

I looked into the Mega Aerotank but unfortunately the dimensions are funky. There's a ridiculous premium on custom pulled Boro and some quartz sizes. That's the reason we haven't made any of the Fogger tanks. Wish the material was reasonable so we could make the tanks....Seems everything coming out of China has altered dimensions unless it's a 1:1 clone.

So, this is a better fit for SOV V2 than #24 on your site? Or are they the same?

The tanks on the website are replicas of the stock SOV V1/V2 tank. We just got lucky and happened to have a size in stock that was a perfect match. The teal tank in the photo is custom fitted. Slightly thinner wall with more substantial o-rings. The fitment is much improved and if we end up making SOV tanks in the future they'll be custom for sure :)

So just for informational purposes only - Fasttech (yes you heard me :laugh:) just released a Quartz Kit for dirt cheap :blink:.

I ordered one just to see how it stacks up to the RH kits...will let you know my findings ;)

Fasttech probably cloned the clone :facepalm: Those RH tanks should fit perfectly :laugh: BTW...Just listed the RH tanks. Still have to take the photos but need a sunny day here in Michigan.

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.

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 know Uno was having the same problem, the problem I don't think is so much with the tubes as the Kit itself.

In order for the design to work the lip where the glass sits covers most of the bottom fill hole on the Kayfun. I use pretty thin juices, normally 70pg/30vg so my solution was to use a smaller syringe tip which actually goes inside to fill. Uno couldn't do this since he vapes 100%vg and it is very thick and couldn't go smaller on the tip.

I only have one problem on mine and that is totally the fault of the Kayfun Clone design and the Quartz Kit design that doesn't mesh well. The chimney of the Kayfun doesn't seat completely and tightly against the o-ring in the cap, and therefore when I fill from the bottom - eliquid comes out the drip tip.

Ahh, that makes sense! I use mostly 60-75vg, which seems to work okay (albeit a little slow) with an 18 ga. syringe. I'll have to find a 20ga. needle tip and see if that helps! Thanks E!

If I remember correctly, I thought Mike said the new RH tanks were a bit shorter than the TC tanks, to allow for the chimney to seal against the top cap o-ring. If I'm not making that up, sounds like you'll be set with the new #24's and 25's! :D

Additional Random Thought: Just had an idea here, but both my RH kits are currently full of liquid so I'll have to test it later... I wonder, if I were to use a dremel and cut a small notch into the "lip" to allow for a syringe to enter the tank... Hmm, that maybe not possible w/o compromising the seal made b/t the glass and ring - but I'll look into it soon! :)

Yeah I'm havin' this ongoing issue as well...

I do vape high VG in my Reo's at times, I haven't exceeded 30/70 (PG/VG) in my Russian or Kayfun attys, that said with the kit it is an issue for me to use the bottom fill hole. Elantis described the actual issue perfectly, it's the ID of the ring that's interfering with the fill hole. If you take a good look prior to screwing down the top cap you will see it purdy clearly. The best solution I have found as far is using some special syringe needles that are flexible plastic (think my friend said they had something to do with IVs) however they also tend to seal the fill hole which causes the juice to blow past the chimney o-ring if filling to fast due to pressure. Don't really have a satisfactory solution yet...

Don't think even a 20ga will get past the inside ring lip on the Russian but it may be ok for the Kayfun :unsure:
