I did as suggested. Within a few posts I'm reading stuff like "Get some boge low resistance 510 connection cartomizers in 2.0 ohm and never look back" I feel like I'm coming full circle and arriving back at why I begun by saying I don't want to mess with liquids and parts!
The cartridge+ atomizer system was the very first "tank" system- so outdated it shouldn't be sold any more IMO. Cartos were next. Next tanks were added to the cartomizer. Next were clearomizers.
Different delivery systems:- note
bolded Atty, Carto, etc is the abbreviated form
Atomizer/
Atty- an element on to which 3-4 drops of juice is dripped- usually used for testing new juices because Attys are easy to clean. There are some diehard Atty users because it’s the best vape possible but very time consuming.
Cartridge/
Cart- a container with sponge (filled with juice) that is used with the Atty- juice drips on to Atty from filled cart and is vaporized- older outdated first “tank” system and prone to leaks unless the user is willing to buy extra seals and “fiddle” with them.
Cartomizer/
Carto- metal tube with stuffing and element. Holds anywhere form 1- 4 ml of juice. Carto is fully saturated and must be occasionally refilled when juice runs out. My Cartos last 1-2 weeks. Best Cartomizer I’ve found is the Smok Tech XL 1.7 single coil. Boge 2.0 ohm cartos will give a cooler vape. Always use single coil cartos with 3.3- 3.7 PVs for the best vape.
Carto+Tank- a Carto with a hole punched in it. Carto is than placed in a glass, metal or plastic tank which is filled with juice- juice saturates Carto by way of hole in Carto. My Cartos with a tank last, before tight draw occurs: light juices- 80-90 ml. dark juices- 50-60 ml.
Clearomizer/
Clearo: - a plastic, glass or metal tank with a wick and element. Contains NO stuffing. The rebuildable clearos come with heads (coil+ wick) that can be cheaply and easily replaced. When the head burns out simply unscrew the old head out and screw in new head- takes 10 secs.
Clearos are prolly the easiest way to go. Tanks that fit on the eGo style PVs hold 1.6 ml juice. Just unscrew the drip tip, squeeze in some juice, screw drip tip back on, swirl and vape. Can also see exactly how much juice you have left.
