I am looking for a very small (short) polypro or glass tank that holds a max of 3ml. Now here's the kicker. I don't want it to be a carto tank. I can't stand cartos as they completely mute the flavor compared to my T3. Wicks are the way to go and I want something that has that. I've looked at the DCT by smoktech but I keep seeing it stating it is a polycarb tank and that's a no go.

Not sure I understand. No cartos, but AFAIK a Smoktech DCT is a carto tank.

Wow I'm an idiot. Yes you are right. Does what I'm looking for in a tank even exist? I don't see why there are a bunch of carto tanks everywhere but no wicked/replaceable head versions with glass or polypro. Unless I have been looking in the wrong places?

No problem! Whosback had a good idea. I don't know of any others. I use a VN with a metal sleeve for harsh juices, but I think you want it clear. You could try a RBA like the AGA-T2. It has a pyrex tank and everything else is steel. RBA's do have a learning curve. I suspect others will chime in soon with more ideas.

Somewhere out there
glass and polypro are hard to find in wick tanks. I do have a couple that are old name, screw tank, now called Titon Tank, they are sold by Got Vapes. But the tank is 6 ml and huge. Has replaceable wicks and really works pretty well. But as all clearos, has a fiddle factor, juice can collect on top stopper that needs wiped off from time to time. Also works best full but I like the vape. bnrk

Iclear30 or Vision ViVi nova

Does anyone really read anymore? The OP was requesting recommendations for a polypropylene or pyrex tank. The Iclear and Vision Vivi Nova both use a polycarbonate tube.

The only non-cartotank that is either polypropylene or pyrex glass is the Kanger Pro Tank (pyrex). The AMP Tank is a new class of tank that allows the use of a dripping atomizer; I believe it is made of pyrex, but it is $120 and only sold by a single vendor.

AMP Tank - Avid Vaper


Edit: Recalled another string-wicked, clearo-type delivery device very similar to a Vivi Nova but which uses a polypropylene tube. The Smoktech Titan or Screw Tank. http://www.gotvapes.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=151_201

Vision STV Nova tanks have replaceable heads-no carto. They work great. I have 2 of them. You can get 1.8, 2.4 and 2.8 levels. I have 3 Joyetech 1000 mah batteries and I've pretty much stopped using my clearos. I'll use them again someday but I really like these tanks. They sell out really quickly from all vendors. It took me a couple weeks to find my second one. And don't forget to order extra heads or you'll run out before they come back in stock somewhere. That is my only complaint. Supply has not caught up with demand well.

Baditude to the rescue as always! :D

Covert24: I've been looking for precisely the same thing. I've only just started using tanks myself, and it's a bummer that I can't use one for so many juices - inc. my beloved root beer!

I did order a Pro Tank the other day, waiting on that to arrive. But I'd really like something more economical too, that I can afford to buy multiple of.

Which doesn't really exist...Yet. The way things move and change in this industry though, I figure it won't be too long. Seems to me there would be a big market for it...

Actually, the newer genuine Vision Vivi Novas and Mini Vivi Novas ARE made of polypropylene. I use them and my Protanks exclusively and have never had a problem.

Good to know, and it's about time Vision stepped up their game in this matter. Do you have a link, because I've not seen these anywhere.
