    O... M... G...!!!! I finally remembered to order some Chinese food so I could pick it up on the way home from work, and I got a couple extra egg rolls. I'm falling over with YUM here - they are fresh!!!! I actually inhaled 2 of them, so now I'm going to have to hide the last one so I can share it with Andy.

    Nogy, tanks can do that to some juices. It's because the carto is heating up each time you puff, so by the time you get to the bottom, it's like the coffee that's been sitting on the burner too long. Oh, and it will be worse with dual coils, because they run hotter. You can make up for it a bit by using single coils and not filling your tank all the way up.

    Super easy to clean and cap.I have 4 now.
    I get the sandblasted design.I have a Stretchy,a fairy,a spooky tree and one with flowers and butterflies.
    I have one with Bamrz and a peace symbol on it, works great! And they are really tempting me with the Pegasus one, I'm going to end up with one of those too!

    With the Bella I slip them easily in and it doesn't come apart..
    to refill it lid comes off easily and when I push it back on...I hear
    a pop and know its sealed...
    I like easy...not fighting to get something to work....
    it isn't just me...3 of us in the posse alone responded to jeff's
    post...plus Stretchy has had probs with hers...
    VV, the Lava's are a little tight getting the tops on and off, but not too bad for me. I have a trick that makes getting the carto in a lot easier! I have a small delrin drip tip, very narrow, that I put on the end of the carto, then push it up through the bottom of the tank. Sometimes I might dab a little juice on it first, and that makes it even easier. I've never been able to get them in pushing from the top down.

We had a tank (for the life of me I can't remember which kind it is... looks like any other with a tube and black delrin caps) that takes standard length cartos and every time I tried to refill it, the bottom cap would come apart from the tubing and juice would go everywhere I even turned it the other way so the bottom was then the top and the next time I went to fill it, same thing. Makes me when I waste CC juice like that. Needles to say, that one is just sitting in a box now The easiest no muss, no fuss ones I've used have been the longer dual coil ones FV sells.
    I agree Chips! The ones FV sells work great! Easy to put together, and they don't slip around or leak when you're using them!

    Doh! I completely forgot to mention the tapered delrin drip tip too. We've also got a rubber drip tip that I'll sometimes grab instead.

    Wow, I'd probably do the same thing. That's a shame.
