I just got my Reo today but my batteries were ordered from RTD and that order is late.

I didn't realize you got a Reo as well. Wow! Let's see...I got my first ProVari to celebrate 6 months tobacco-free and the Reo for one year. I wonder what you'll get for your milestones?

Now I get why Zoe will be in the hole for a while. I didn't get a present when I hit 6 months. And I'm not going to decide yet what I'm going to get when I make a year. There might be new things by then.

I did get my HyperTank today and it is AWESOME!! It is better than the Protank 2. And now I see why I need one of those beauty rings. I bought the purple HyperTank and was hoping it would match, but it doesn't.

Is that how your purple looks in person? I was thinking it was paler. It looks blue to me (but it could be my monitor).

No wonder I haven't found anything you like. Let's try this (I did this before with someone who had a blue one). Which shade most closely looks like your purple (closely, since monitors are different) and/or would complement your shade of purple?

I'll be broke by that time...lol

I guess healthier lungs is a great milestone gift, though. :D

No, it's not that blue. But it is on the blue purple side. If I hold it up to your picture it looks like it's PMS 2627 but when I put that color into Photoshop it looks a little brighter. Maybe the matte paint makes it look kind of dull. Most of the accessories I've found are more like the color of the Hypertank.

I had a different shade in mind. You said sort of like a purple M&M, but when I Googled that there are lots of shades of purple M&Ms. When I thought it was the lighter one, I was thinking a neutral or clear tank with a fab drip tip to set id off. I shall ponder this further.

Wow! I didn't realize the purple mini was that shade of purple. It looks super nice in that photo! I thought it was a more muted shade. That is tempting me!!

Well, I can certainly see why they sell out so fast....that is truly a thing of beauty!!

I just wanted to comment on the polished mini, provari has said that the polished is not a limited edition, and will be stocked regularly, after the last batch of mini's sold out they had "date to be determined" up on the site. I think they took it down because they got flooded with e-mails, it takes a lot of work to hand polish each one. Here is mine. :)

oohh....I've been eyeing this tank for awhile. It will look great on the white too. I think I need a halfling!! love your zombie too!! I really want that one but 3 in less than 2 months....oy!! :blink:

For clarity, this is a 22mm, standard length, light toxic swirl IBTank with green end caps. It sounds like you want all the same except with a Halfling tube. Also be sure to order some Halfling cartos.

No, not really. I have a few and hardly ever use them. I always made a mess filling them and then found clearos are so easy to use.

Hhhmmm..wondering about this myself. Been searching a lot this morning on this and wondering if I'd even like cart tanks. Everyone is raving about them, especially IBtanks and of course, I will try this. But I'm kinda surprised. I started w/carts..taste to me was very muted and a cooler vape. All that polyfill the liquid has to go through seems to me counter productive. Reminds me of a filtered cig versus non filtered. Non filtered were for the die hard smokers that could handle all the smoke/harsh flavor and wanted nothing in the way of their smokes. So kind of surprised polyfill is popular.

What tanks do u use? This isn't going to be as easy as I thought for me. ProVari only being a 510 and not a 510/Ego limits me a little on top coil tanks, but who knows, maybe i will find a bcc i love. I guess the adapter is an option but it will take away all my hard work on making it look smashing..lol

****Ocelot- I think dripping is probably the best way to get the purest flavor, huh? I'm going to pour over ur blog again and learn all about this through and through.

What we need to design is a dripping system tank where a bunch of liquid is held in a tank towards the top, you can press a button that allows drips to come down towards the atty and then seals up again..LOLOLOL! Sort of an inter tube tank like the cart tank system. The only part of dripping to me that seems to be a pain is the actual constantly having to drip part.

Direct dripping has the best flavor of all. It takes a little practice, but it won't take long until you get an "Ah Ha!" moment. Just relax and have fun with it. You won't pop your atty and dry hits won't kill you - we've all had them.

You just described a bottom-feeder, except that the liquid is in a bottle below the atty and when you squeeze the bottle, the liquid goes up into the bottom of the atty.

And when dripping, it's not like you're constantly dripping, you vape on the drops for awhile; it depends on your vaping style. I just get into a groove and don't even realize I'm dripping. It's become second nature to me.
