Just purchased a stainless steal mini vv vtube...limited edition :laugh: from apollo and I'd like to get some tanks to use with it. I'm tired of filling cartos every night. I have a stone tank, but it's a pain because if you don't get the little plastic cap on just so, it will leak. thinking of trying the type of tanks with cartos in it. what size hole should i have punched for 100% vg juice. what types of tanks do people recommend?

One tank that you have to try is the Smoktech 3.5ml "DCT". It's my favorite so far, and I see it on the end of a lot of YouTube reviewers' PV's.

Especially with VG, you'll probably have to custom-slot the XL-sized stainless steel carto that you put in it. PBusrado has an excellent video on how to do it, and it's really very simple and makes for great performance. There's no way that the stock hole (sometimes hole(s)) is going to be just right for every juice.

With a good-feeding carto, this tank will give you hundreds of consistent hits one after the other, with great taste.

They come in black and chrome, and I like the chrome.

It all depends on what e-liquids you are VAPING on! The majority of the vaping market are stocked with poly-carbonate tanks, but then you have vendors like PHINIAC(which I back up 100%), Siam, and VariVape that sell glass tanks! The glass tanks are way more durable for vaping ALL and ANY and I mean ANY of the e-liquids out on the market! I never had my PHINIAC tank CRACK or LEAK on me whatsoever! The glass tanks are a bit pricey, but they pay for themselves in the long run! Tanks are a matter of PREFERENCE though and so is everything else in the Vaping Market! Find the one that BESTS fits you and your needs for Vaping! Good Luck and Happy Vaping!

I am going to second r7r77r and reccomend the Mom And Pop Sub tank. Good product. Super easy to fill and the service is really good there.

I have to agree that this is a must-try tank. I've had it on my shopping list for some time now. I recently ordered a bunch of stuff from Mom and Pop's, but didn't get a tank (I like the mini-sub) because I was thinking it looked a little clunky with that big thumbscrew side cap, but A) it looks insanely easy to refill (even if I have to use a syringe, and B) I can probably retrofit it with a less noticeable side cap.

The Smoktech is still what I would call a must try, but it is not as easy to refill as the M & P. Not bad, but not as easy. And the fewer times you have to disturb the seals, the better. With the M & P you'd only have to do it when you change cartos.

I agree that the Smoktech tank is a good one to start with. A real cheap entry into the tank world. I have several and haven't had any problem with them. I saw the videos and as of yet haven't had any sliding problems and no leaks. Just slide the carto down out of the top cap, put your liquid in and slide the carto back up. Pretty easy fill with no syringe or anything. Not as easy maybe as the Mom and Pop tanks but I haven't tried them yet so can't comment on them.
