Sure thing. Any other questions, shoot me a PM. Baditude has probably done more carto tank research, and wrote about it, than any other one individual... so check out his blogs. Have fun with the research.

Yeah... that happens sometimes with multiple posts/blogs. Sorry.bad link
If you go to blogs at the top of the page, then search for blogs by "Baditude"... you'll get the same result.
Today I picked up a carto tank from a local B&M where I had a credit.. 510 DCT Cartomizer Tank - Large one of these but in red... Took me a bit to NOT pull the carto out, need to find one with a lock ring of some sort..
But , liking it so far except it wont fire on my Zmax, I think the thread area is too short, works great on an ego vv.. tho..

It's a start. Not a big fan of DC cartos, but that's personal preference. You need to get a carto tank tool to make swapping and filling a little easier.
On your way. ;-)

It was the only one she carries, and with my "buyer reward" credit, it was free along with a carto..
Why dont you like DC's?

As this thread was started about iclears.. I tried bukugrotesk's suggestion on a 16.. So far no leaks, but now getting a burnt taste when it drops below 1.2 ml mark..
So, so far so good on the iclear for leaking... But that is this one, will try one of the 30's and see how that does..
I simply prefer a cooler vape. And sometimes I've run into a burnt taste with DCs because, I suspect, the upper area of the carto runs a little dry.It was the only one she carries, and with my "buyer reward" credit, it was free along with a carto..

That's great Mackman.. I am using a 16 now that is not leaking, been good for a couple days.. I will be trying out a 30 again to see if I can get that not to leak..
Trying out a carto tank, may be getting into playing with them more too!
Other than I really prefer to use side-fill, or "sidewinder" tanks as some like to call them, there's not a lot too it. Boge cartos... Ikenvape when I can get them and 3V or IBT tanks. Simple.Good info to know... any other words or carto wisdom you want to share?
Carto tanks work better on a VV or VW device because all the cartos (I've encountered at least) have a voltage sweet spot where they work the best. My 2.0Ω Boges seem to be the happiest at 8-8.5W or 3.7-4.2V. They heat up fast, hold a good temperature, but don't get too hot and burn the juice... and last about a week of steady, 10-12 ml a day use. Not bad for a buck or so a carto.
If you like your DCs... by all means, keep using them. There are no rules to vaping... except perhaps, don't blow yourself up. ;-)

Thanks again!
This is my first cart tank and it came with a dc.. This may sound dumb, but is it ok to put a single coil in it?
All my batteries are VV and 2 are VW so I am covered in that area.. Have 2 old ego's that still work that are 3.7's.
I looked at the sidewinders, still cant decide if I like the look of them.. and since twice today I pulled the tank up and made a mess I am looking for something a bit more secure, since I am not the most graceful person.
Looking at all the options.. had to have a plumber out last night for a burst pipe, big $$$$ or course it happened on a Sunday.. Will be looking to order another tank and carto's when the next deposit into account is made.
I appreciate all your input, as there is always something new to learn and getting peoples opinions are a help.
Thanks again!

Sure... most tanks us a 9mm diameter and either a 35mm (std) or 45mm (xl) length.

There are carto tanks machined to accept cartos with a "locking plate" so once installed, you can't inadvertently remove the tank... you'll have to research that as I don't use them.

Bummer with the plumber.
No problem with the input. ;-)
Just wanted to update you, I got 2 more iclear 16's from fasttech and they work great! No leaking no problems, I think the first one I got was a knock off.
I have been using i clears 16's and 30's for nine months. I've never had a leak,even tho they are sometime laying on the seat of my truck in the sun.Also never had a coil burn out. I use 70 pg/30 vg and run at 4.3 volts most of the time.They usually go about two weeks before needing cleaning.I have stocked up on them and the coils more than anything I've tried in 4 years.
I too just got another that came with a battery I bought.. So far its not leaking, but is very thirsty! 
That means it's turning more juice into vapor.Thats a good thing.

Any thoughts on getting 2 x iclear 16s or 1 x iclear 30 with the mvp - which should I go for?
