I know it seems a bit hypocritical for a vegan to be a smoker in the first place so lets disregard that irony please. So, i got her to order an eGo twist, and to start ive ordered her some cartos to start off with. I tried to recommend a clearo but since the tip is a plastic screw on, she doesnt want to use it, doesnt like the feel. So i got her a glass drip tip with the stainless adapter. So my question is, what else could I recommend besides a phiniac tank, kinda large for an ego, that will offer glass other than plastic and doesnt require a screw in tip. Maybe a glass Clearo of some kind with a glass tip?

Clear tanks (other than phiniac) do exist, but they're still damn expensive for a tank. ('bout 20 bucks more than plastic based.) Of course, they're glass, and you're paying for that, so don't forget it.
If she's looking for a non plastic alternative her only options are stainless steel, or glass. You can make a tank, or buy tanks in either of those, and cartomizers as well, so I'm not really sure what you are requesting. It's all a matter of where you get it from. I've scoured the internet for weeks finding the places that sell the things I use the most the cheapest with good prices on shipping, and ironically most of them are within 20 miles of my house. ( I don't drive anymore due to a horrifying car wreck I was in recently. - Haven't gotten over it mentally yet, I think.)

As for the "irony of a vegan smoker" I don't personally see any in it. Tobacco isn't a meat; and I know plenty of vegans that are vegans simply because they're disgusted by the slaughterhouse procedure. They're not affected by the taste of meat, or the likes. They're disgusted by the fact that your KFC is a chicken that was fed off a warehouse floor with its beak ripped off as a chick.

Zenesis tanks come with quartz tanks. They are also not that great and are prohibitively expensive. You can look at the video that Estarra, an ECF member, has produced here on this subject: Z-Atty Pro (House of Hybrids) - YouTube
Also the Vivi Nova comes with a separate stainless steel tank that you can buy and it fits any drip tip that you can find, i.e. glass/pyrex.

But seriously, I'm a vegan who used to smoke (smoking came first, then veganism) and I can tell you first hand that she is taking it way too far. This is well beyond the normal conversations that are appropriate for ECF and I do apologize, but also I feel I need to add reason to this logic. Bear with me. She drives a car, I presume, uses a computer with the internet, drives on asphalt streets, lives in a house that is chock FULL of artificial substances, etc. There is no way to escape artificial substances, nor should she want to unless she wants to live in a cave.

Being a vegan is not about not using things that are natural, that's a cavemanism. It's about not EATING things that are animal based, such as meat, drinking milk, eating butter, eating cheese, and some even go so far as to consider bees as animals and not eating honey. This is not veganism this is, in my opinion, psychopathy. Tell her to read "Skinny B|tch" and settle down. 10 and 2. You can't escape technology. The whole concept of veganism is that humans, when matched up with carnivores or omnivores, display almost NONE of the physical characteristics of these types of creatures. For example, carnivores do not sweat they hyperventilate (see also: dog panting), have a high stomach acidity (your dog can seemingly eat anything!) , and they also have short intestines (dogs poop a lot). Humans have long intestines (some people poop once every other day or more (scary!), have a stomach acidity that is closer to PH balanced than acidic (i.e. CAN'T eat anything), and sweat (instead of pant for heat regulation). These are characteristics of herbivores. You'd have to do a google search to get a complete list, but suffice it to say, we are herbivores whether people want to admit it or not due to their current bad habits. In fact if you want to test this theory eat some corn and look at your poo and see how long it takes to pass. If it takes longer than 24 hours or so you are constipated and are at high risk for colon cancer. Carnivorous humans enjoy a 60% higher risk for colon cancer, as a matter of fact.

I don't enjoy plastic either but we have to live with it. Restrict its use to all things not related to cooking or food and you'll be just fine. BPA is in a majority of plastics but you pee it out in a matter of days. Handling it is usually not the source of BPA, eating and drinking out of plastic is. Tell her to only use glass, or ceramic/earthenware bowls/plates like I do. Get a stainless steel canteen and drink your filtered water out of that instead of plastic bottles. That is the best you can do without reverting to prehistoric times.

At this point in time, I'm not aware of any clearo types made of glass, especially one where the user could use their own drip tip. Maybe sometime in the future this will be offered. I am posting a link to shows various setups on an ego battery, so you can kind of browse through that thread, and maybe get some ideas of what would work.

So far, the only tank setup I think would work well, and look good on an eGo battery would be the slim tank, which is made of plastic. They do come with a drip tip, but she could put her glass drip tip on there instead of the one sent with the tank. Hopefully, in the future, they will start selling these type tanks in glass. If you do go with this tank, I'd suggest you get some SINGLE coil cartos to go with it, instead of the dual coils that come with it. I'm also providing a link to a chrome cone that is optional, but gives this tank a more finished look on the eGo. Hope this helps.

I understand what a vegan is and the reason I used this to describe her likes and dislikes, which i guess is still a bit of a generality, was because she is very health conscious and in fact a vegan (kinda ironic since she smokes). I'm confident there is something for everyone as far as what is available with e-cigs today, so I was just looking to see if somebody knew of anything that I wasn't able to come across. Thanks for the recommendation though!

I will also check out the vivi nova for her, maybe i can convince her to go with something stainless steel.

Thanks for your help! Im hoping that once she falls in love with vaping she wont mind spending a bit of money on a glass tank that doesnt "look so pretty" on an eGo.
