Why aren't there more glass tanks out there?

[OptimoMuffin]

I recently bought a quartz glass tank from Vermillion River for like 30 bucks...

I love it. I don't have to worry about juice acidity, its way more durable than the plastic ones I have and as far as I'm concerned its way more healthy to be vaping out of glass than plastic.

So my question is why aren't there more glass tanks being made or more demand?

 

[guppy]

There's a few companies that make and sell Pyrex tanks such as 505vapor, phiniac, ibtank, and the one you mentioned.

My guess is that quartz, and Pyrex are expensive. Most of the manufactures use plastic to keep costs down, and make them more affordable to the masses.

Hiyo Optimo,
...Have you seen: Bedazzle Tubes - Home
...some very nice work, I think...

I like glass also. I would like to see it more secure though. I've broken one tank so far, and have switched to SS for now..

...all the best, Cheers, ~M

Supply and demand. I think the near future of vaping will center around the Genesis tanks. Just my opinion.

There are actually quite a few if you look around, but they can be pricey. Hopefully that will change soon when overseas manufacturers see the response Kanger is getting to the Protank.

BRING ON THE PROTANKS!!!

My Pluid is waiting........

you should check out 505vapor Pyrex tanks. I've dropped mines from about 4 feet attached to my provari and nothing but a tiny nick on it. its very thick, which is why I bought it, because I tend to drop my mods a lot. another draw in is that their tank only costs $20

Have you seen Phiniac tanks? Phiniac Rugged Pyrex Glass Tanks


My Hoosier Vapes Elegance tanks caps matched with Phiniac tube.

Hoosier Vapes Bella - Elegance tanks.

I was wondering the same thing but i think as they mention above, to keep the cost down so everyone can afford it but also if the tank breaks then you gonna buy a newone. If they all made with glastanks then you be set and they loose money.

Those tanks do look REALLY sturdy, and I thought mine looked durable!

I just went to this site, all their elegance and bella tanks are sold out... do they re stock or was this a one time thing? I would love one...

Until they became so popular, you could go to the website and find several in stock. Now, they are offered in large batches at once, scores of them, and still they sell out within hours. You can get on their e-mailer alert that announces ahead of time when the next batch will go on sell.

They are $50. Each is handturned on a lathe, and each one is unique unto itself. The top cap and mouthpiece are one, and twists off the tube for easy juice filling. They come with a polycarbonate tube, but quartz glass tubes are available as an accessory.

Cool thing I discovered is the clear pyrex tubes made by Phiniac fit these caps.

 

[SirSteve]

Odd, someone was just asking why there aren't more polypropylene tanks, I guess we a tank shortage other that polycarbonate. Who knew?

 

[guppy]

the demand right now are for RBA's so my guess is that the vendors are jumping abourd such as the cobra by phiniac.

I'm getting on that list and ordering some Phiniac asap... thanks for that info. I want a totally sick tank

I think we will see more as demand of them increases. I am happy with the IBTanked ones for now, though.
