Ok, so i asked the veterans and they cleared a bit up and then my thread closed (but thanks to the people who helped)

someone told me to try the LR attys/cartos and i noticed they tasted burnt after just a little while and I defiantly had them full of liquid at all times (correctly filled I'm positive) so I tryed som other ohm(ed?)

1. So if I have a 4.2 volt battery would a 3ohm atty/cart be good, or can u suggest a different ohm(ed?) one
2. Now correct me if I'm wrong but these tanks i keep seeing are basically just a carto with a hole punched then placed inside of a tank so it gets constant fluid? if so then again i would just need a correctly ohm(ed?) carto for my 4.2 volt
3. Lastly do I need different ohm(ed?) attys/cartos for my standard ego batteries?

and could someone link me to a smaller (3-5) ml tank and tell me which carto to use for it
and I'm not trying to be rude, but please don't try to explain the ohm stuff to me I would just like to know which to use for my batteries

i may have more questions but lets just start off with this

Tanks start tasting burnt after only one or two fill ups....period. A carto has an atomizer built into it. It's a cartridge with an atomizer in one. Thus a "cartomizer".

And that, my friend, is what you should get. Cartomizers...chuck the tanks and get good cartomizers on your batteries. These are nice sized cartos 5ml, and work well on eGo type batteries.

You can use 2.4 ohm and higher with slim to no issue.

On my eGo T batteries, I use CE2 Ultimate Clearomizers @2.4ohms using Halo liquids. No issues with flavor, vapor, or TH. I have dripped using 1.6ohm attys without issues, but YMMV as it can kill the battery with high usage. I like 2.4ohms, it's a good balance for the eGo without worrying about running your kit into the ground.

On my buddy's Silver Bullet running at 6v, I use a lower ohm drip set up (1.9ohms if I'm not mistaken). 1.5 ohms can be used on it, but it heats up too quickly and can burn out those LR cartos/attys in no time if you aren't careful, at least at 6v. 3.7v with a 1.5ohm carto should work great.

As far as your "tanks" (not to be confused with eGo T tanks) go, lower ohms would be preferred, as long as the cartos are of good quality (Boge if you are using a tank setup), but on your eGo batteries, I'd stick with 2.2ohms or above. If you want to get to higher voltages and lower ohm setups, go with a mod.

510 CE2 XL Clearomizer Ultimate 2.4-2.6ohm - Clear
can any one tell me if this would work on my ego and my 4.2 volt battery?
I really do prefer the clear cartos just so I can see how much liquid I have left

AND I still want to know what ohm atty cart is good on 4.2 volts
^ that is my major question I neeeeed answered

That's what I'm using right now (from MyVaporStore, though). It works on either very well.

I recommend.


*edit* MyVaporStore has the exact same clearos for $9.75 for a pack of 5, FYI.

I'd only order from healthcabin if you like waiting a LONG time for your order to come in.

Order something Stateside, like the eGo e-power, or an eGo T battery.

sorry for double post,
I know I hate their wait time, but that is the battery I currently have I didn't plan on ordering one I already have it

Danny, What cartomizers will "work" (ohm'wise) is not the easiest question to answer when you have 4.2v

That battery puts out great vapor, but it limits the cartos that will work on it cuz it's pretty powerful. Take a look at this link, they say right on the page: "Note: Please do NOT use 4.2V echo Battery with these cartomizers."
Kanger horizontal coil cartomizer for 510/eGo at www.healthcabin.net - UK Vapers

The ones I posted earlier also come in clear...you just specify you want clear when checking out. Also, the guy answers his own contact number and is very helpful...give him a ring and tell him what you have and he can tell if these will work for you, or point you where to go.

Ok, thank you verry much
just one last question about an atty I COULD use a LR but it might bun out faster? and a 2.4 ohm would work fine but not burn out as fast?

& do they have any tanks on the site you linked me to?

According to the little info card I got with an order, your 4.2v power would be suited to single coil somewhere between 1.7 and 3.2 ohms, double coil somewhere between 1.5 and 2 ohms. That's actually the variance between 3.7v and 5v--there's no info specifically for 4.2.

I'm using the clearo's you linked (from gotvapes.com, though) on a 3.7v wood mod and they work fine. :)

Tanks start tasting burnt after only one or two fill ups....period. A carto has an atomizer built into it. It's a cartridge with an atomizer in one. Thus a "cartomizer".
I hope that's not true. I just ordered 5 tanks today--even the XL cartos require more than 2 fills a day if I'm not switching out flavors--yes, I vape a lot...:oops:

Let me correct that statement....I mean like the Ego T & Ego C tanks...not the tank tanks....many carto tanks have quite good reviews.

oh ok! *whew!*

So I watched the video on the MVS site about how to fill a carto...I noticed they didn't put the o-ring thingy back in that goes between the filling port and the plug. Was that an edited out part or do you (general) not put that gasket/o-ring back in after filling? :?:

Oh, and sorry for the thread hijack! :unsure:

1. Depends on whether or not your battery is regulated. 2.8-3ohm would be okay.

2. Yes, a tank is nothing but a tube with endcaps. You put a punched/slotted cartomizer inside it, fill, let sit for 20-30 minutes, and vape.

3. For ego's, I prefer 2ohm cartomizers or low resistance atomizers.

Vaporescence - eCigarettes, Accessories, US Made eLiquids has a bunch of different sized tanks.

Optional. I put mine back in, but it doesn't affect vaping either way. You can leave it out, but I wouldn't trust it not to leak from the syringe fill holes.
