I learned on smok DCT carto tanks. Pyrex, Notched flange cartos, which add ease of the tank not spinning on the carto. Only silly part was learning how to apply ohm's law to a dual coil. Not hard now, but was a little overwhelming for me to start with as an innocent carto virgin.

I'm a total carto .... now, 10 weeks later. I'll stick my carto into anything with a pulse.:D

I don't like those tanks. My first tank was an IBTanked, so I was spoiled early on. I got a couple of the Smoktech ones and, I'm sorry, they look like they came from the $ store. And with the notched bottom you can't hot swap.

ETA: WTH?? Where did that last line come from?

So should I still go get the 'slap yo mama' from the site in the video? Or are there better ones out there now?

I don't think so. There are ones now that double as drip tips, but the ones I have seen are longer than the SYM. I think longer would be harder to use, but everyone is different. I'm sure others will pop in and say how much they like the one they got from XXX, which was less expensive. Shrug.

I am just going to go with that one--since it is SS--
Now one more question and I will try to stop asking for tonight--
which cartos do I need to order, that are easy to use and give good flavor?

What tank do you have (or are going to get)? That will determine the length of the carto. I like Smoktech cartos. Others prefer IKenVape or Boge - it's personal preference.

That is a good question--I saw that you liked the IB tanks--is that good to start with? Do you recommend the longer ones? Oops--that was another question...

Hahaha, some of my best material comes after I hit the reply button. I was pretty proud of that vapuendo and had to edit it in.


I am not recommending the Smok DCTs, I'm just sharing my humble carto tank beginnings. Also forgot to mention that they were $11. So it made owning 5 of them plausible at the beginner level. Also, you don't have to use flange cartos.

But alas, their biggest flaw is that they are absolutely ugly. And even uglier if I was to flip them after a hot swap. Talk about sloppy seconds. :rolleyes:

I know that was directed at Oce, but I'll interrupt. I'd recommend standard length to start. XL tanks are great once you find a flavor you can stick with for a large storage tank. And it may be a couple cartos before you learn behavior that makes them last long enough for an entire XL tank worth of juice.

And, I think most here will tell you IBT is a fantastic tank for beginner or veteran.

Ok, I'll bite ... what kind of behavior do you have to learn to make them last long enough for an entire XL tank worth of juice? It's late, my Red Sox just won I don't think the things I'm thinking of are what you meant!

I have mostly XLs, but I think the standard size look nicer. That's just me though.

Ahhhh, you know. Just not over wattaging them. It's a mistake that a first time carto user could easily make. Or not priming enough, but I think we covered that pretty well here.

I guess an XL would be fine for a first go, I just feel like standard is called standard for a reason. Lol

Now you have invented a word.

Pre, you did a pretty good dance on that one ;) I'm too tired to write a coherent (twisted) reply. More seriously, thanks for the info. I'm thinking Santa will bring me some of these for Christmas. Night!

I'm a very passive poster by sloth nature. When I sense possible abrasion starting from one of my comments, I tend to safely barrel roll my way out. ;)
