Advice needed

[Rob Stobbs]

Here's one that I have been pondering for a while and as I haven't managed to come up with many answers, I thought I'd seek the advice of the community?


I have been using cartomisers in my Jazz Carto Pipe. Now that I have become somewhat more proficient at filling them and looking after them in general, I have been thoroughly enjoying some great juices and getting very good results when it comes to Throat Hit etc.


In the foreseeable future, I had intended to get a tank Kit for this Pipe, but, having now conducted a few tests using a few different heads on an egoTwist, I am left feeling somewhat uncertain about whether this will really work for me with the same degree of success as the cartos?


When I load a Carto with either of my preferred juices, (Mrs Lord's Rough Shag or Pipesauce Long Bottom Leaf) I know what sort of vape I am going to get and also know what TH to expect. However, when loaded into any of the following, Vivi Nova, Evod, or Smok Aro, I don't get such a burst of flavour. Clouds of Vapour yes, but nothing like as intense flavour. Now I assumed that this was down to several potential reasons, Ohmage differences between the Cartos and the coils? Wick material etc.


I am using Boge LR (1.8ohm) Cartos and I have had 1.8 ohm coils in the other tanks as well.I then tried upping the ohmage on the coils, but to no avail. The flavour just isn't as strong?


So, before I commit to buying a tank Kit, I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts and reasonings on the matter.
The reason I am considering the change was for convenience, but as you can see, I am really beginning to have cause to doubt the wisdom of doing this.


Over to you.

I use carto tanks on my pipes all of the time. Although I have never tried either of your juices, if you are already using them in cartos I would thing that putting them in a tank wouldn't change things a lot. It is worth noting however that the thicker juices sometimes do not wick up into the carto well from the tank. You might make sure you get double punched cartos if you are using pre-punched ones. If you punch your own there shouldn't be any problems. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Good advice above. Cartotanks have been my primary juice attachment for a long time. They tend to provide more flavor than most clearomizers and clearotanks. Zero maintanance once set up. Easy to tell when the tank needs to be refilled.

The reason is likely the difference in wick system. Clearomizers rely on small strings to wick juice to the coil (a small surface area). Cartomizers use a big wad of absorbable polyfiller as the wick, which totally surrounds the coil (large surface area).
