"Will the specs be sufficient?
Fused quartz tank.(Glass tube is 22mm OD x 19mm ID x 23mm)"


That's # 26 on the tank page:)

I received this from Avid Vaper in response to my inquiry:

I only know of one company selling replacement glass. These are colored tubes, they do not have clear. The glass is Pyrex and not fused quartz, pyrex does produce a smoother cut when flame polished because of the lower heat needed, unlike fused quartz. I cannot confirm the quality of the cut. Our Quartz kits are Rainbow Heaven kits, there is a selection for these in the link below.

Tanks - Spectrum Tanks

Do you think these would work?

Sounds like the 22 x 1.5 x 23 measurement might be a little bit off. That tends to happen when Asian tubing is involved. It's usually the wall thickness that's +/- 0.2 or so and can cause fitment problems. The best bet is to send me your kit! I'm sure a couple others will back me up on this :D It's either that or try the RH set-up...Thinner wall with more substantial o-rings vs. stock. We've had great feedback on that one!

Mike...I will be "buggin'" you again soon, once I get this in my greedy little hands and have the opportunity to measure the glass...You know how I dislike "clear" glass :)

Do you want the whole assembly, base and all, or just the tank & rings?

I've been trying to put together an EHPro KFL+V2 nano for my wife, but no luck so far.

I bought the Rainbow Heaven nano glass kit and a Spectrum #25 tank in Teal. The tank fit the rings perfectly when installed with the supplied o-rings, but the atty's chimney was too tall by 1/8" and wouldn't let the threads even begin to start. Apparently the kit was designed for the original Kayfun with its particular top cap.

I found the original EHPro KFL version and ordered it, just to get a top cap that might fit, but the best solution would be a Science of Vaping V2 Nano Size Glass Kit. That is, would be if there was a Spectrum tank to fit it.

Mike, got any prototype Size #27 tanks in the back room? In Teal, preferably?

Nothing in the back room but #27 is in production right now. It's 11.2 mm in length... I'm thinking it will fit nicely :)

This is an Ehpro Pontus...works like a dripper with a tankfull of juice for all day dripping. I love the flavor of the drippers but honestly dripping is just so much of a hassle for me personally. I much prefer a tank system so I can "grab and go" so to speak. This promises to give the best of both, I just got into the back end of a group buy but it was a small one so hopefully we will get these quickly. I bought two so I could send one to you for fitment :D - see I'm always one step ahead ;)

That Pontus sounds interesting Elantis. I'm wondering how the feed system works to get a dripping effect? Thanks for thinking ahead and ordering two! I'd be more than happy to take a look! Who knows? It might end up being size #30 :)

"My apologies for not reading the entire thread (incase you addressed this before), but do you have tanks for the Fogger v4? I'm local (Belleville) and if not perhaps I could stop by and try to fit something up? Let me know and thank you in advance."

No problem JS. I'd fire off the same question instead of filtering through :) I really wanted to make Fogger V4 tanks...the demand was definitely there. The 21 OD turned out to be a problem though. We ended up with two material options and both were insanely expensive! Basically priced out from the beginning and had to take a pass :facepalm:

From the videos I have seen the Pontus tank holds about 3mls of juice, the top acts like a pump of sorts, you push it down and the eliquid then is forced into the lower chamber where the coil/wick assembly is. Sounds interesting, so I thought I would give it a try...will wait and see :)

Wow...it's been really quiet in here

I haven't been around much lately since I recently adopted a rescue dog and have been spending a lot of time with him to help the "bonding" with me, and to let him know he is safe now and doesn't have to be cautious any longer.. He was in rescue for 8 months, and prior to that don't know much about him, other than he was found dirty, cold and hungry behind a restaurant in small town Nebraska begging for food on Christmas Eve 2013. He is a Pomeranian...but this is what he looked like when he was at the pound before being put into Rescue.

This was taken the day he "adopted" us as his forever family :) on September 19, 2014

And finally - this just taken yesterday, he was diagnosed as having Alopecia-X or Black Skin Disease (which is common in Pomeranians) but his coat is coming back in most places so for this we are grateful - he is definitely Mr. Personality Plus!!!!

emailsammich91514.jpg


Anyhoos he LOVES to go anywhere in the car, so I have been taking him and my Chihuahua Sophie when I go to pick up my Granddaughter from school - well yesterday my Emerald Green ProVari with the Kayfun/Spectrum Glass & Tip took a nose dive out of the pocket of my purse...to my utter amazement, only the drip tip and the end cap of the ProVari suffered any damage. The dt broke off clean at the top of the Kayfun...the glass tube on the Kayfun suffered no damage, and the end cap of the ProVari had only the tiniest nick in it, which I was able to sand out.

So in ordering another Green tip for my combo, I noticed the ORANGE dts are there - Woot!!!!!!! So I snagged one of them too :D

Oh and I almost forgot...I did get the Pontus (two of them) but haven't even opened the boxes other than to just see what it looked like. Hopefully I will find some time to set one up and see if it is even something I am going to want or use. I have been pretty content of late with my Kayfun clones and carto tanks on my ProVarii.

Had a chance to try out the Ehpro Pontus a couple of days ago, and not thinking it is for me. It worked perfectly as it was intended, for me, however it had a really airy draw and that is not a preference of mine. I think I need to just understand that the "dripping" phenomenon is just not my cup of tea so to speak.

I have tried many, many drippers, and then this and nope - not for me. I'll stick with my Carto tanks and Kayfun /Taifun clones.

Hey Elantis :) Quite the transformation from the first pic to the last. That's one lucky dog!!! It looks like he's actually smiling in the last pic...VERY CUTE! We've rescued a few of our pets over the years. It can be a lot work but so much more fulfilling than buying from a breeder IMO.

I haven't had anyone ask about Pontus tanks so it probably needs to be reworked. Still appreciate you getting the extra for me to look at though!

We managed to get the tips wrapped up last week and you were the first to buy an ORANGE Thank you! Have 9 colors in stock now and all have been inspected for fit and finish. No duds in this batch! The tanks got put on hold due to a family matter but should be finished later this week :D

Thanks Mike...he is really precious!!! Now if I can only get my "lamebrained" hubby to stop leaving the gate open in the backyard all will be well. He has left the gate open twice, luckily we were able to recover the little wanderer both times. He has just been with us a little over a month, and he is sooooo friendly he will go up to anyone. The first time, we found him (thanks to the little "tracker dog" Chihuahua) but someone had put him in their "backyard"....the second time we knew right away and hubby chased him back in the fence. The irony of this is when hubby had the GSD (German Shepherd Dog) he was "...." to everyone about gates and whatnot.

Anyhoos...got the DT's and the tank, huge thanks! The orange DT really helped to set off my "Halloween" setup. Will have to get a pic posted soon.

Hopefully things are improving for your and your family {{{{{Huggssss}}}}}}
