absolute best tankomizer for my lavatube?

[joey16]

Sorry i'm a little new when it comes to pv parts. I'm looking for a good tank(that holds 3ml or so) with threading for the lavatube that i can order now while i wait for my lavatube to come in the mail. Price is not an issue i just don't know where to start. With my lavatube I ordered a smoktech lr510 dual coil tank carto(6ml) and i hope it will work on the lavatube.

Thanks!

Any of the tanks that take a 510 carto should work on the lava tube.
I use this one Vape-O-Matic Liquinator SS 3mL on my provari and have never had a problem. Other people on ECF don't like them so YMMV.

You could take a look at these also:
VPX CARTOMATOR Cartomizer Tank
Siam Mods - Tanks
Big Daddy Vapor

I don't think any of these require a carto with a flange on the bottom. So you can use most 510 cartos in them as long as you can punch a hole in them.

I use this to punch holes in my cartos Jig Punch for Cartos

Hope that helps.

 

[joey16]

So when I buy one of those tanks I have to attach it to the carts that come with the lavatube or I attach it directly to the lavatube battery? For example with the smoktevh lr510 can I just attach it to the battery or do I need a carto?

 

[hellsh0cked]

The tanks hold a punched cart, the little metal pipe you can see in the center of the tank. The cart is what screws into the lavatube. Carts will stop working well after a while. Instead of having to buy a new tank you just replace the cart.

Momandpop submarine tanks is another option. I have 2 submarine tanks and have zero problems and also have a liquinator tank.

If you have the original version of the Lava tube it has a 2.5 amp limit. Most of the low res dual coils are 1.5 ohms. 1.5 ohms at 3.75 volts draws 2.5 amps (9.375 watts) so the LT will only send 3.7 volts to the carto, even if you have it set to 6.0 volts. You won't know it by looking at the meter on the LT but that is what will be happening. It won't produce any better vapor than a typical big battery mod. The higher resistance dual coils do a little better but are still hampered by their design and voltage limit. If you get a 2.5 ohm dc you can run it at 6v and only draw 2.4 amps for 14.4 watts. That sounds good but there are 2 coils at 5ohms each doing 7.2 watts apiece. You'll get best results with a single coil anywhere from 2.0-3.5 ohms. If you have the newest version of the LT coming it has a 4 amp limit and does much better with the LR dual coils. One trick I've done with the LR dualies is snip the wire in the carto going to the top coil, this turns it into a single coil 3 ohm carto and works much better on the original LT. Post a link to the oe you ordered and we'll let you know which version it is if you're not sure.

alright first let me say thanks everyone for clearing things up for me. I now know how a tank works! ok so I still haven't received my lt yet but i ordered this exact kit from gh1 LavaTube Premium Starter Kit im assuming its then newer model because he keeps running out of stock and restocking. I will definitely be trying that vasectomy trick (lol) on my smoktech dct thats coming with my LT

on a side note are these good to replace my cartos in the smoktech lr tank once they wear out? http://www.vaporgod.com/Smoktech-Pr...k--With-FREE-5ml-Bottle-Of-Eliquid_p_234.html

can i also just order these 2.5ohm ones and replace them with the 1.5ohm one im getting the the mail? Does X or XL matter with the tank im getting? http://www.myfreedomsmokes.com/part...ts/smoktech-510-dual-coil-cartomizers-5-pack/

Yep, the tank you ordered will work. HOWEVER, if you are into looks and want a tank that will last forever and NOT crack with certain juices like Cinnamon or some citrus juices, look into getting a Phiniac tank! It's pyrex glass that won't break by accidentially dropping it or with juices. They are beautiful! Sandblasted or handblown options, about $45/piece. Well worth the money. You will need a tall-boy for the standard cartos..... The site is down right now for medical reasons but should open back up in a few days...... I can't wait, I have 2 tanks and I want another one......

As far as cartos, if you don't want to punch your own yet, I like the myfreedomsmokes cartos. They have 2 holes instead of one and feed a lot better. 3 holes is too much, IMO, and one just isn't enough with higher VG juices.... Link: SmokTech DCT Replacement Cartomizer - MyFreedomSmokes.com The 2.5 ohm ones have 2 holes, the other ones are 1 hole only. I always order the 2.5's for my lavatube....

 

[joey16]

Aw thanks for the info
Myfreedomsmokes won't ship to Canada. Do you where I can find those exact cartons pre punched with the option of choosing the ohms for a 6ml smoktech dct?

can i also just order these 2.5ohm ones and replace them with the 1.5ohm one im getting the the mail? Does X or XL matter with the tank im getting? SmokTech 510 Dual Coil Cartomizers (5pk) - MyFreedomSmokes.com

Well, you could but not for a tank unless you want to take off the paper wrapping and punch the carto yourself. It's possible but I prefer the tank cartos at 2.5 ohm, already prepunched........ Too lazy to do the work to unwrap those suckers and I don't want glue residue in my juice... LOL!

OOPS, didn't pay attention there and didn't realize you were in Canada. I'll search around and let you know if I find any.....

Check this out, don't know if it's a good seller but they are in Canada apparently, the prices are in CAD.........

You might also want to check into something like a Vivi Nova tank....no carto to worry about, and no polyfill taste from the carto. There were some initial issues with some of the heads on the first batch, but they have been redesigned now. I had no problems with mine at all. It is a rebuildable tank, meaning you can replace the heads, or the tube, and keep it going. I prefer it to the regular tanks because I don't like the taste of the polyfill.

Other options you might look at are the stardust type clearomizers, or the E1 Revive. Both come in rebuildable versions now. E1 Clearomizer - ReVive - v2 I have both of these, and like them very much.

The lavatube your getting is the older one with a 2.5 amp limit. Like someone else said, dual coil cartos really don't work very well on the 2.5 amp lavatube. I would get single coil cartos bc the lavatube will run them a lot better.

I wouldn't get either of the cartos you posted links to. The ones from vaporgod are the replacement cartos for the Smoktech tanks, but they are the 1.5ohm ones. Using them would basically defeat the purpose of having variable voltage. 1.5ohm is very low and you would only be able to vaPe at around 3.7v and couldn't crank up the voltage at all.
The second link cartos are a higher ohm, but they are still dual coils, which don't work well with the 2.5 amp lavatube like stated before. Also they are black so you'd have to peel off the sticker and then use something like goof-off to get the sticky stuff off the tube.

What PG/VG ratio are the juices you use? The reason I ask is bc the Smoktech replacement cartos for the tanks do work well; but the pre-punched hole is small. If your using thin PG juices than your fine, but if you use thicker VG juices you'd most likely have to punch the hole bigger. Doing that's not a big deal though. I have a Smoktech tank and the juIce I use is thick. I just use a finishing nail and hammer and punch them all bigger before I use them and then they work fine with thicker VG juices.
The Smoktech pre-punched cartos are nice bc they have a flanged bottom and are made to be used in the Smoktech tanks. The flanged bottom stops the tanks from being able to slide down.
Smoktech has both dual coil and single coil pre-punched cartos with the flanged bottom for the Smoktech tanks. For the dual coil ones they have 1.25ohm, 1.5ohm, 2.0ohm, 2.5ohm, and 3.0ohm. The single coil ones they have are 1.7ohm, 2.0ohm, 3.0ohm, and 5.0ohm.
Since dual coils don't work well on the lavatube, you shouldn't get any of the dual coil pre-punched cartos. The single coil ones though will work well on your lavatube and in your tank though. If you want to be able to use the widest range of voltages you should get the 3.0ohm single coil pre-punched cartos. The 1.7ohm and 2.0ohm ones won't allow you to put the voltage much past around 4.5V, but with the 3.0ohm ones you would be able too.
I have a SS mini lavatube and also have a few Smoktech tanks too. I use the 3.0ohm single coil pre-punched cartos in my tanks and they work awesome on the lavatube. With the 3.0ohm ones you can use the full range of voltages, around 3.7V-4.2V if you want a cooler vape, or you could crank it up to 5-6V if you want a nice warm vape with more TH.

Madvapes sells the 3.0ohm single coil pre-punched cartos and that's where i got mine. They are sold out of them right now, but should have more soon if you decide to get them. I'm not sure if they ship to Canada or not so you'd have to ask, but here's the link to them : Tank Replacement Single Coil Cartomizers, 3.0 ohms, single hole

Hope this helps

hey man, since madvapes has them out of stock i found these http://www.ljesmokes.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=836 (they ship to canada and a rate of only 3$!) I already ordered them, are they are the same ones as the ones madvapes is selling? So when i get my smoktank 6ml tank i take out the cart that already in it and replace it with this one? I like to vape 50 50 so i dont think i should have trouble with the hole however i do have a bottle of 90% chocolate that i'd like to vape on so i may make it bigger.

One more question. Say i have like 15 different e liquids and 5 cartos and a tank. Do i add multiple liquids to the same carto or should i have 1 carto for each type? Like if one carto with vanilla in it starts to lose taste and vapor meaning needs more e liquid, can i add a different flavour like watermelon ? Well i just realized its a tank that im adding liquid to not the actual carto so when the tank gets empty of juice can i put a completely new type of liquid with the same carto in the tank or do i have to keep taking the carto out of the tank and put a new carto each time i want to try a new flavour?

Also im hoping that the carts i ordered from ljesmokes being 9.2mm diameter
45mm Length above flange (howevert important that is) will fit on this tank that i ordered http://www.greenhouseone.com/Smok-Tech-510-Dual-Coil-Tanks-Cartomizers-p/510dct.htm


And darn, i just noticed ljesmokes had the same carts but triple punched only after i ordered the single punch. Does that matter?

(sorry for the noob questions)



Thanks!

 

[hellsh0cked]

To answer your question about switching carts and flavors. I do it all the time as long as the flavor I had in there will taste ok with the flavor I am putting in the tank. For example if I had vanilla in the tank and it is about empty I have no problem refilling it with chocolate. If I had chocolate in the tank and wanted to switch to lemon aid I would use a new cart. The flavor of what you had in the cart goes away and is replaced by the new flavor as you vape.

 

[KenG]

Anything goes better with chocolate, but Vanilla and Watermelon, maybe not.

I will usually stick with 1 carto for tobacco flavors, 1 for fruity flavors and 1 for the mint/menthol flavors.
Of course Very Berry 555 tobacco with a touch of menthol and chocolate is not bad.

If you have the original version of the Lava tube it has a 2.5 amp limit. Most of the low res dual coils are 1.5 ohms. 1.5 ohms at 3.75 volts draws 2.5 amps (9.375 watts) so the LT will only send 3.7 volts to the carto, even if you have it set to 6.0 volts. You won't know it by looking at the meter on the LT but that is what will be happening. It won't produce any better vapor than a typical big battery mod. The higher resistance dual coils do a little better but are still hampered by their design and voltage limit. If you get a 2.5 ohm dc you can run it at 6v and only draw 2.4 amps for 14.4 watts. That sounds good but there are 2 coils at 5ohms each doing 7.2 watts apiece. You'll get best results with a single coil anywhere from 2.0-3.5 ohms. If you have the newest version of the LT coming it has a 4 amp limit and does much better with the LR dual coils. One trick I've done with the LR dualies is snip the wire in the carto going to the top coil, this turns it into a single coil 3 ohm carto and works much better on the original LT. Post a link to the oe you ordered and we'll let you know which version it is if you're not sure.

Unloaded - Hi. I would like to do what you described in your post... snip the wire going to the top coil. Can you describe how to expose the coils without destroying the carto?

I figured it out and perhaps I should delete this post but I think if anyone else has the same question i can be helpful here, assuming their cartos are similar to mine - I have Smoktech 1.5ohm dual coils. I can pop the white rubber cap from the top of the carto and right there on top is a thin black wire and filler. Use scissors to snip that wire and poof... now I have a 3 ohm single coil carto. At 5 volts and 3 ohms i'm vaping at 8.33 watts with 1.67 amps and I am loving it
