I figured there would be a big buzz about this considering the pro tank is the only other one thats made our of pyrex...granted this one does look like its made cheaper. I sent them a email to ask them what the drip tip and the bottom portion was made out of and how big it was.
Edit: Ok so I got a reply. They said that the drip tip and other connections are a polished stainless Steel.
They are going to measure it so they see how big it is. Im assuming since it is so much cheaper then
the protank is maybe the pyrex is not as thick and probably can't take the abuse that the protank
can.

Hmm-I just got one from GotVapes. Mine isn't pyrex. It has the same tubes as the Vivi Novas-plastic, polycarbonate, whatever, but not glass. I haven't tried it yet. It just came this morning, so I did a warm water rinse and am letting it air dry.
The one GotVapes is selling is only the 2ml version and it's not bottom coil, nor is it Pyrex. The one cocacola is referencing (sold by LitecigUSA) is the pyrex BCC Vision Victory tank with 5ml capacity. See below:

My 5ml Pyrex version shipped today, so I hope to give it a shot later this week. I bought it in the hopes that it performs better than the Protank with wicking thicker juices (such as Fuzion's Ectoplasm).

If you don't mind can you post your review of it on this thread? I just want to see what kind of quality it has. Thanks
Yeah, I don't see why not. I generally get stuff from LiteCigUSA in 2 to 3 days. So maybe by Wednesday evening I'll have an idea of the build/vape quality for you and will try to capture my thoughts on here. It is hard to imagine a high quality 5ml pyrex tank for only $9. Especially when the 2ml plastic version is selling for $11, but I guess we'll find out...
Yeah it doesn't look like the pyrex is all that thick but if it works well then 9 bucks be worth it. I never use my protank for out and about and probably wouldn't use this either. Does look kinda odd.
Only thing I hate is I have been waiting for something smaller and they come out with something bigger.

to me it looks like a bloated CE4/CE5 clearomizer. looking forward to trying it.
no they have there own heads.
I was talking about the link the OP posted. If you click it then the thumbnail underneath they look like kanger
Yeah in my research I did find some info that indicated that you could use EVOD replacement coils with the Vision Victory (5ml) tank. The photos/info FXCannon is sharing are from the 2ml VT which is top coil and looks to me like a re-worked mini-Vivi Nova.
They do look like kanger coils http://www.litecigusa.net/Vision_Victory_Tank_Replacement_Coils_p/vision-victory-coil.htm
My 5ml "Pyrex" Vision VT (bottom coil) arrived yesterday and I've had a little time to play around with it. I bought the tank at least partially because I had been having wicking issues with my Protank in recent days when trying to vape Fuzion Vapor's Ectoplasm. So my perspective is that of someone trying to find a better performing/wicking Pyrex bottom coil tank than the Kanger Protank.
Initial impressions:
a) Build Quality: The tank arrived in a ziplock plastic bag, not the custom box that appears in the photo...not a big deal. It's a good deal lighter than the Protank, despite being larger overall and possessing twice the juice capacity of the standard Protank. LiteCigUSA lists the tank as a Pyrex tank tube on the product page, but I am skeptical given the price and the weight, now that I can hold it in my hand. Additionally, other listings for the tank fail to mention that it is Pyrex. If it IS Pyrex, it is definitely a much thinner tube than the Protank. Someone had expressed concern about the durability of the tank...this could be a factor. If anyone has a suggestion for how I can determine with certainty whether the tank tube is Pyrex or Poly-C, I'm all ears....purposely shattering it and examining the pieces is not an option. Overall I would call it solid build quality, but realistically only time will tell how durable it is.
b) Design: It is a bottom coil tank of the same nature as the Protank. The mouthpiece is affixed to the top of the tank (so no drip tips!) and you have to remove it from the base to fill....again like the Protank (bottom feeder, I think it's called). Unfortunately the base of the tank (which should be knurled for easier disassembly) is fitted to the outer rings of the 510 connection of my eGo batteries. This is convenient in the sense that it comes out of the box with a finished look when placed on an eGo battery, but also means you can't adorn it with a fancy thread cover or air-flow control adapter. It also means, sadly, that I can't put it on my newly acquired Vamo V2, which I think is a full-on bumout. But this may not be the case for all mods, so your mileage may vary. What I really like about the design of the VT BBC/BCC is the placement of the wicks/coil. In the Protank, the coil screws into the base leaving the wicks sitting in a shallow, tight reservoir. This is problematic when vaping thicker (VG-heavy) juice blends just due to the laws of physics and the nature of viscosity, etc. The Vision VT wicks sit openly in the tank space, with no reservoir restricting the juice from reaching the coil. In essence, the tank itself is the juice reservoir, along the lines of the Kanger T3 design. The result is cleaner more consistent flavor in every draw, despite the thick juice I'm testing with.
c) Performance: In the limited time I have been using the VT, it has performed admirably. I'm working with the thickest juice in my current rotation (Fuzion's Ectoplasm) and I've seen no evidence of wicking issues thus far. Vapor production is on par with the Protank or the Vivi Nova, both of which have served me well. The draw on the VT is tighter and less airy than the Protank, which I suspect many people will appreciate (myself included). As I mentioned, the base covers the outer threads of the 510 connection and has 3 small airholes drilled into it. I imagine one could increase airflow with a drill press by widening the existing airholes, but I'm finding the airflow to be pretty ideal so far. I have yet to change flavors or thoroughly clean the tank, so I won't comment on that.
d) Price: Come on, it's a no-brainer. $9 for a solid performing BCC-type tank, whether Pyrex or Poly-C, is a good deal. If it's actually Pyrex, it's a great deal. Replacement coils are about $2/piece and I have read that you can use EVOD replacements in the VT, for what it's worth (though I have none to test with).
CONCLUSION: Glad I bought it. I will use it in my regular rotation for awhile and see how it holds up over time and through cleanings and juice swaps. As I've mentioned, if it is truly Pyrex, it's a steal for the price. It's worth noting again, that the tank is designed to be used on an eGo style battery, though it may work on certain mods (just not on my Vamo)...so be advised. Based on what I know of the design, I would anticipate cleaning and swapping to be as simple as the Protank. Both disassemble into 3 pieces (tank tube, coil/stem assembly, base) and can be easily cleaned. Both also use shorts wicks that won't hold old flavors so much....making it easy to change flavor.
I took a picture of my VT on a Vision Spinner 400mAh. I attached the image for your viewing pleasure. I hope I did it right.
Let me know if you guys have anything for me to test for you. Also, if you know of a way for me to verify the tank material easily, let me know. Hope this helps.

True. I suppose it depends how you treat it. I've been carrying it in my front jeans pocket all day and it seems just fine. Again only time will tell. Solid so far.
I wouldn't mind it for home use with my mvp. I'd be scared to use it outside with the exposed tank.
