My favorite tank for my ProVari has been the Torpedo Tank w/SS caps. But, I've used several brands, and all have come apart when I didn't want them to. Now, I see GotVapes has a 5mL tank w/screw caps. BINGO! Looks like a winner to me. Got a couple on order, delayed due to holiday weekend. Should have them by Friday. I won't use any Carto/Tank less than 3.5mL's. And I haven't used a filler carto for near onto a year. Even those I'm filling more often than I care too. JMHO

Cheers,

Yup.
Just punch it like you would a Boge.

Thanks,
Lee

I suppose I am the confused one. I am under the impression that a CE2 is a cart that has the dangling 2 wicks with a plastic outer tube. How could this go in an ACT v3? And how can it be punched?

I feel like a tard here, cause the only thing I can see punching is a boge or similar, with the filler type inside.

Thanks

Just punch a hole in the CE2, near the bottom like a Boge, so juice can get inside.
Yes, The CE2s are the ones with with wicks...

Thanks,
Lee


Lee. You are awesome. Sorry to bug ya, but could you possibly post a link to a site showing the specific CE2 you use in the ACT v3? I just can't grasp how a CE2 could work in the Arry Tank I have.

Big thanks.

I've used many different brand 5mL tanks. All have come apart when I didn't want them too. I've been saying for along time I needed screw plug tanks. I just ordered two from GotVapes. They claim a screw plug 5mL tank. Should have them by Friday. This may be the NEXT level for tanks. JMHO

Well I received my Provari yesterday and along with it 3 tanks from 2 different suppliers. Holy cow ….when that Provari came out of the box I thought it was a marital aid….but I digress …

My first impression peeking at the tanks was the size of the pre-punched cartomizer ……. WOW that's like a micro meteorite hole. Really tiny.......but I did not tinker, just continued with the assembly as shipped

I fumbled about for a bit, charged the batteries, inspected the tanks, and filled two, one each from the two different suppliers. I also filled a Boge cartomizer that came with the Provari starter kit.

A word about the juice……. I ordered the juice from a vendor a few weeks back who sold me my eGo-T. They recommend a pg75/vg25 for the eGo so that is what I ordered……. Hence that is what is going into these tanks. Both tanks filled from the same bottle….chocolate fudge brownie if that matters?

I filled all tanks and cartomizers using an 18 gauge needle…….
I played around with drip tips …….seeking the best look…LOL….I know ………… being vain with my new toy with just a Labrador retriever looking on…..silly…………..BUT then a drip tip became stuck in the tank’s top………grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Have I mentioned I dislike tools? So now I must find a tool and use it as a punch to get that drip tip out of the tank’s top before I can try this tank on my new sexy PV ………..not a happy rancher.:mad:

The Provari comes with the voltage set at 4 … so why mess with it………….. Screwed on a tank and….. uh…. Huh?...... tastes bad …. As if I lit the wrong end of a cigarette…..YUCK! ….. ok I’m new…it’s new..…it’s operator error ……… so stuff I’ve read here begins bouncing around in my head ….. prime the cartridge atomizer thingy ……… lower voltage ……… punch holes…… invert the device…… call a shaman….. punt …..etc…..the Boge cartomizer worked perfectly although I dislike the frequent dripping….so my mission is to sort out the tanks.:grr:

I start with what I thought was priming the atomizer cartridge….. needle of juice down into the material surrounding the coil…… hmmmm won’t draw……..well duh dummy the airway is full of juice……so I unscrew the tank to blow out the juice and find juice all over the top of the Provari ……clean up my mess….blow out the airway….…..hey much better…well for a few draws…then back to yuck……hmmmm…… lower voltage…….nope….. raise the voltage…..nope….ok let’s try a different vendors tank…….. pop it on and…………. nadda…..operator error comes to mind…..but nadda no vaper not even a sizzle sound….hmmmm …. So I check the ohms……Provari says ohms are Op …… sexy little device this is telling me the circuit is open…….so I have a DOA atomizer ……grrrrrrrr……..ok back to the nasty tasting tank cause’ it did work for a few draws……and I’m going to the next step…..punch a larger hole in it….. oh dear I’m gonna’ need tools…..grrrrrrrrr ….. empty the tank ……pull out the atomizer…clean everything up….….take it to the shop……..look for a sharp pointy doo-dad….(if this does not work maybe I can slit my wrist with this puppy)……. toss the cartridge atomizer thingy on the table and punch two holes in it…..enlarging micro meteorite hole and a new one…..return to the house …….fill the tank and ………WOW as I am filling the tank I can visibly see the fiber material inside turning colour…….wooohooooo I think I did something right…………..The tank functioned as I hoped….good draw…good vapour …..good taste….OUTSTANDING!!!:banana:

This morning I tried the Provari again and either a vapour fairy or a vapour angel touched it during the night or it had broken in some??? Wicked more juice???..........whatever…… the vapour was really good with my morning coffee.:hubba:

So to add to my tank collection I purchased a cartomizer punch this morning …….LOL….I bought a TOOL….i thought buying pre-punched cartomizers was the way to go for me but then you do not really know what size the pre-punched hole is gonna’ be, so turns out for my use it is not.

The tank with the DOA cartomizer was resolved by the vendor…shipped a new one this morning and I am pleased with tank performance. What a nice vapour experience the Provari/tank setup is.:thumbs:

Does anyone have experience with this set-up on a provari or any pv and would you recommend? I haven't used a tank system before or the lr dc carto's; however, I have used the lr dc atties (1.5ohm) and didn't like how cut my battery time in half.

cheers,
