]I find this thread amusing. For one, it's not really fair to compare a single carto of unknown origin to the Protank or Davide. You must compare a carto tank with a good carto, punched just right to the Protank/Davide. Once you experience that exact difference, you will sing a different tune, I bet. vaping is an evolutionary process, and a predictable one, as well. While there are branches, there's always a percentage that evolves in one way, a percentage in another way, but there's not 50 different paths. One guy starts with a CE# and loves vaping. They they get a Vivi Nova, and really like it. Then they try an EVOD and say they like BCC's better (of course, they wick better and burn less, duh). Then they get their Protank, and it's really airy compared with the EVOD. Then they cover one of the three holes, or get an air flow controller. Now, it's the bomb. Then they discover the Davide is born with one less hole, and it's better. Then they hear that the Protank 2 is like the Davide, and it's as good and better than V1.
At some point, they watch Phil Busardo's video on cartos. They learn that's easy, and he seems to really like them. So, they get a cheap AGR tank, some good boges (or whatever), punch some holes, prime their carto, fill their tank, and then (drum roll), they get a more saturated hit, more vapor, better flavor, and it comes in a tank. Then they discover IBTanked with stainless caps, then a Phiniac with a glass sandblasted Dragon in Orange, then the Kir Fanis Veradero that matches their Provari.
Somewhere along the line they try a dripper. Wow, what flavor and vapor. How about a dripper with a tank next. Then an RBA with a tank. See it keeps getting better. First the RSST, then the Ithaka clone at FT (very nice, btw), then the kayfun lite comes in, then the Kayfun 3.1, the real Ithaka, the AC9, the Penelope. Wow, this just keeps getting better doesn't it. And the truth is yes it does. It gets so good, you'll dream about this stuff and break the bank taking the next step.....and we haven't even talked about APV's, right? It takes what it takes, and it's just about the best hobby, an addicted person could ever have. Me likee! Me happy! And, I'm happy for you too! Welcome and congrats! Best to you!
