I am currently using a Vivi Nova tank that I order with my ProVari & it has the same diameter as the ProVari so it site well in my carrying case. I really want to order a glass tank & like the design of the Triple V Sidewinder tanks a lot. I am worried because of how many ml's they are said to hold, that they will wind up being a lot wider than the ProVari itself & it would make it too tight of a fit in my travel case. Plus...it would look funny to me & I am a bit OCD about things like that. Has anyone tried out one of these tanks?

Check out my photos on instagram if you wanna see the triple V on most of my devices including a Provari... instagram.com/mrpicc
It's a little fat but I like it honestly.. I have some 19mm tanks also but being a heavy vaper, I need more juice.. Heck right now I'm using the 7ml pyrex from vvv...
Ray is also OOS on the sidewinder atm but should be back in stock hopefully tonight..
Photo by mrpicc • Instagram <--- while not a great shot it still shows the sidewinder specifically on a satin silver.

Any larger tank isn't going to be uniform with a provari so it really depends on what you want..

Thanks for the picture...that will help a lot! It looks like the tank is just barely bigger than the widest part of the ProVari so that should work out fine. I am using the Electronic Cigarette Carry Case Caddy from Provape for store & travel my ProVari & it closes snug over it. I didn't want a huge variation in width that would put pressure on the 510 connection threads when the case is closed. It is a very well padded case but I just didn't want to risk damage.

If you don't mind my asking...how do you that tank/cartomizer system compared to the Vivi Nova? I like the Vivi Nova but want a bigger glass tank...plus I would think the cartomizer delivers better vape/flavor.

Just noticed this. Personally i absolutely hate vivi novas. There are better answers but I'll just say because of the leaking issues I'll never use another. I'm a carto/tank guy for life.

I've given all of my string wicked delivery devices away to newcomers. Cartotanks deliver much better flavor and are much more consistant once you get over the slight learning curve they have. Key is proper pre-filling of the cartomizer and tank itself. I go into great detail with the method that I use in my blogs. Just click on the link below my avatar to read my 6 articles pertaining to cartotanks, juice delivery devices, options of devices to use with cinnamon flavors, how to choose the proper ohm rating for the voltage you use, and a review of the pyrex cartotank that I prefer for the Provari.

Thanks again for the information. Fortunately for me, I am not only obsessed with doing large amounts of research, but my brother-in-law lives with me now & has been a tank/carto guy since he started vaping years ago. I am finding after my second tank full on the Vivi Nova, that it is not very consistent with flavor when the tank runs low. I was dripping some flavors last night just to taste them & ended up just dripping the rest of the night because I didn't want to go back to the lower end of the juice in my Nova.

I placed my order with Valley View Vapes for my Triple V Sidewinder tank. They seemed pretty backed up so I'm not sure how long it will be before it arrives...but as soon as it does, the nova will be set aside as a backup only. I stick to 100% VG juices so I know it takes a bit longer for the carto to get good & saturated. The boge cartos that I ordered with my tank are pre-punched but I will have to see them when they show up to know whether or not I need to make any adjustments such as adding a second punch.

It's partly my mistake for it taking a while to process...I was on the site the second the tanks were back in stock but hesitated until the next night because I was debating waiting a couple days for my paycheck rather than using my credit card. When I logged into it the next day & the 2-3 day order processing message was changed to 12-13 days...I ordered immediately. I will have it before my trip to Vegas so it's all good. I will just have to tinker with a few modifications to the Vivi Nova heads that I researched...that will have to get me by.
