There is a hand blown tank I am looking at getting in the next week. The size of the tank is about 40mm with end caps. I use 35mm boges. I am wondering if there will be enough play for the carto to fit and still be sealed in the end caps....
There is a difference of .2 inches between my carto and the tank length including end caps

Your image wouldn't view for me. Any link to the website?

My first guess is it would NOT fit. Carto length is determined usually by the part that will fit inside the tank, from the drip tip opening to the connector/flange. A 35mm Boge will be too short in a 40mm length tank.



Having said that, 40mm is an odd length for a tank. A standard length is 35mm. An XL is 45mm.

Not sure why it did not show up, here is the link
PyroTanks - Rainbow PyroTank


I was hoping it would at least fit between the caps to create a seal. But at that price I am not sure i want to take the chance. I am not sure how far the caps go down on the inside either. Of course I can always order XL boges but I have to have 35mm for my BB and I would much prefer to use the same on other tanks. I just have plenty so hate to order more of a different size right now
I have contacted them several times and I am guessing they don't have any 35mm to try :(. Also none of their tanks have deminsions so makes it tough but beautiful none the less.

Have you seen the glass blown tanks at High Desert Vapes and Hot Vapes? Some are similar in form, function, and appearance to what you were looking at.

I have this custom hand-blown pyrex tank from High Desert. It uses a 35mm Boge and has soft silicone grommets in place of the typical endcaps.

Yes actually I have been looking at some of them and contacted them to see when they restock. A lot seem to be out of stock right now. I think he said they plain to restock in a few weeks. I may just hold out. They look super nice as well. However there is one I really like and if it happens to be in stock this Friday on payday i will likely scoop it up.

I love that tank by the way, I am a fan of frogs :)
