So, after using dual coil mega carts for years, I finally decided to get a tank.
My carts used to last 7 days but lately they have been burning out within 2-4 days! This gets expensive.
It's probably my juice, I vape VG only (alergic to PG) and I mix my own.
Not sure what the shelf life of NIC and VG base is, but I bought 240ml of nic and 480ml of VG base from GoodProphets and it lasted exactly one year.
I think maybe the stuff expired and that might have been causing the early burn-out of the carts.
Anyway, I decided to get a tank because
A) the smaller dual-coil carts are cheaper, and
B) I can see how much liquid is in there.
I ordered some new Nic and VG base, and a tank and some replacement carts from MadVapes.
Excellent juice. The lime flavor is also excellent.
The tank/cart I ordered:
eGo 510 Dual Coil Tank Cartomizer, 2.5ml
eGo 2.5 ml Tank Replacement Cartomizer 1.5 ohm Dual Coil
I mixed up a batch of liquid and filled the tank about 1/3 of the way. The VG mix is super thick and it didn't seem to be getting into the cart, so I thinned it out a bit with a little vodka. about 5% - this gave it a much better flow.
I watched the video, made sure I had a nice tight seal, and started vaping, getting great draw and lots of vapor.
but I noticed the level of liquid dropping real real fast, and realized it was leaking out from the base of the cart, covering my battery in juice. I checked all the seals and connections, and refilled the tank about 75% of the way full.
I did not get any juice in the cart, and I cleaned off the battery connection and the bottom of the cart before re-attaching.
But this time, I was getting totally flooded. Tons of liquid sputtering up into my mouth from every draw, and once again, liquid leaking out everywhere.
So... this is not what I was hoping for. I figured tanks have been out long enough these problems would be solved by now.
Am I doing something wrong or do all tanks have these kinds of problems with flooding and leaking everywhere?
I am using the dual-coil carts without the tank now and just dripping, but I really want a system that I can just fill once a day or a couple times a day and not have to drip constantly.
Any recommendations?
