If you're experienced with genesis style tanks the aga t2 looks like it was made for the vamo. If there is a difference in diameter, it's very difficult to notice

agreed...out of curiosity i just got my digital calipers i use for reloading ammo...the vamo reads 22.00mm and the AGA-T+ comes in at 21.97mm. I'd say that pretty darn close!

I'd like to find a tank that is the same diameter as my Vamo. Purely aesthetics.
Mine is the almost same diameter maybe 2mm off......SMOKtech SLIM UDCT Ultimate Dual Coil Tank 3.5ml 1.5ohm- GUN MET

I have the SmokTech tank too. It measures 19.37mm in diameter compared to the 22.00mm diameter of the Vamo. My SmokTech tank is a SmokTech - 510 Universal Dual Coil - 5mL - PP and it looks just like the SMOKtech SLIM UDCT Ultimate Dual Coil Tank 3.5ml 1.5ohm- GUN MET that bckane posted a picture of and just like the Chrome Artemas Locking 510 DCT that garyd put a link to.

I think it looks very nice on the Vamo. It is the one on the left below.

The problem with it was that the locking ring on the bottom that holds the carto in so well will seal off air flow when on the Vamo. I solved this by cutting groves with a hack saw on the bottom of the locking ring. The pics below show the groves in the locking ring and the air hole when on the Vamo. There are actually a total of 4 of these air holes. The tank works great now. I also found that there are many SmokTech cartos that fit perfectly in single and dual coils, in different ohms, and some with single hole and some with two holes. Lots of variations. I prefer the single coil, single hole, 2.0 ohm SmokTech cartos.

I would like to second GARYDs recommendation. The Artemas Tank from Mad Vapes is well worth $8.49 for the tank. It does not leak, fills easily from the bottom, looks great on the Vamo, and using Smoktech 510 cartos at 3.0 Ohms tastes great. I enlarged the bottom carto hole with a Dremel Tool to provide just a little more juice to the cartos. Also, the tank fits extremely tight on the base of the Vamo, so you either need to put a small piece of paper between the base and the Vamo in order for it to breathe, slot the bottom of the Tank bottom ring, or like I did, drill a hole through the Vamo top into the drip well using a Carbonite 1/16 " bit. Any of the three will work.

Any 5 ml chrome tank will look awesome as I can attest to that. This is a nice one although you may want to get a higher resistance carto or two.

This tank will cause airflow issues. I have 4 of them (2 for me, 2 for the wife) and we can't can't use them without an airflow adapter or by removing the locking ring. Kinda defeats the look... :/ They are nice tanks though!!!

Same here. Mine just arrived and I have 2 Vamos and no airflow with the Artemas. What a bummer

Vamo With Trap Tank.jpg

Kir Fanis Trap Tank, but as already noted - good luck finding one, I had to import from Greece :-

Trap-Tank by Kir Fanis - Gr-Modders

Also theres this :-

Wee Boaby Tank

But i have no picture, both are exact fits - Trap Tank has air grooves the Wee Boaby is made with glass but is flat bottomed.

Hope this helps
