Hey guys, so currently I'm using cartos with tanks and I have about ten flavors. Each flavor has its own tank and carto. But I have a few more flavors coming in the mail and I'm getting tired of buying a new carto an tank for each flavor. Would you guys recommend another system that I can use that would only require one delivery system and I could change the flavor periodically?

Thanks

I only keep two tanks in rotation. One is for tobacco type flavors and the other is for fruity flavors. When I refill them once they are empty, then I can't really taste a difference in flavor.

I also keep fluxomizers on hand to use when I have a tank full of one juice but I feel like vaping a different flavor. They are easy to wash and clean.

You could also consider atomizers and just drip whatever flavor your feeling at the moment.

I use only "one" stardust(rebuildable) type clearo at a time. Just dump out leftover juice, give a quick rinse if it was a stronger flavour,refill with whatever and go to town. I do use the short wicks however, better transfer/quicker.

Unfortunately I'd already purchased 10-15 regulars before the rebuildables came out, now they are all just sitting there in their packages. I replace the silica wick in the replacement head with cotton 1mm wick and get great longevity from the things. Not one coil has popped on me yet. It's easy to push the 1mm. cotton through the coil, just wet, twist, push and untwist it again once it's through. It's been working great for me.

Baditude, is the nova easy to clean and switch flavors?

The two tanks I actually got were these. Sorry about the above links. I knew they were a new Smoktek clearo tank but had forgotten the Titan name. Were originally supposed to be called the Screw Tank, but GotVapes talked them out of that for obvious reasons..:laugh:

SMOK TiTaN™ Clearo Modular Tank : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more

So yea, some type of dull metal endcaps, mouthpiece is fixed to the top cap, which to me is a drag. Easy fill with screw off top; metal threading actually in the tank is a plus to me. 5+ ml juice capacity. Like the polypropylene tube. Don't like the polycarbonate tube the ViVi's have. Comes with two extra heads. Same diameter as a Provari or AltSmoke BB.

As for cleaning, I suppose so. For whatever reason, I can't remember why, I did need to rinse the inside out of one. I just put it under the faucet with a gentle stream of water and rinsed it out with the top off. Put some juice right back in there, it vaped fine.

I just wish they looked nicer and then I'd really recommend them higher. The metal used looks cheap to me, its dull. I actually considered painting the metal parts. (I won't do it, but it did cross my mind)

For $11 and 2 extra heads I guess these are a pretty sweet deal. I'll probably get more when the number of my juice flavors increase, which will be soon as I took advantage of some labor day sales this weekend.

i had this same problem and found that a good 306 bridgeless atomizer with a 306 drip tip (i like the cherry vape cannon) gave me the option to drip 3-4 drops and taste several flavors in an afternoon then i can decide which ones are tank worthy. just pace yourself unless you like major headspins from the nic!! every two or three flavors you may want to remove the atomizer and while leaving the drip tip on, blow through the drip tip into a paper towel, thereby removing extra juice, that way you reduce your flavors mixing together.

i recommend a cisco 306 atomizer with a drip tip. For me they provide the best flavor, vapor and throat hit and they are much easier to clean and switch to a new flavor than anything else.

Drip 3-4 drops down the drip tip and it will last about as many puffs as an analog. Unless I'm dripping drastically different flavors like pink spot and coffee i dont even rinse them out, a few rounds of drips will get rid of the previous flavor.

I have a similar issue as you, i have also 10 LR attys running different juices and to make DIY tests + the carto tanks for my go-to juices, but, i'm getting sick of the Boge cartos + Boba's Bounty combo. It just doesn't work nio matter if i'm thining the liquid or punching more and/or bigger holes (i'm using almost 3 cartos a week).

My cousin came to my house yesterday with a Vivi nova V2.5 from gotvapes and Boba's tasted as i remember Boba's tasting, he is running the same head for 20 days, of everyday, all day vape (he doesn't even clean it cause he's a complete n00b) and it tasted perfect even at lower voltages than it should.

Long story short, we switched flavors 2 times (Boba's to Hype to Boba's again) seamlessly, and without wasting juice at all (much much less than changing a carto in a tank for sure). So went to gotvapes and ordered 2 tanks and 5 replacement vapes ($10 each tank).

Give those bad boys a try, i was impressed to say the least.


Edit: I'm receiving my first HH.357 tomorrow and i got it specially to switch flavors easily.

I would say get a bottom fed device with a 306 atty you could keep all your fav flavors in there own bottles and just put the bottle assembly in the device and when you want to change you just change bottles.For a real cheap version try a old goat mod for around $25 if you want something more durable and indestructable get a Reo and if you want one more of a novelty or with some beauty to it try monkeyboxx or boggerbox.Any of these would work great for what you are looking for.Hope this helps and gl on your journey. :banana::banana:

I find that the easiest way for me to be able to quickly switch flavors without changing equipment is to use a quality atomizer and using the direct drip method. Just put a couple drops right onto the atomizer coil and vap until you notice the flavor changing/diminishing. Then put in something else. You'll get a little bit of carry over from flavor to flavor at first, but after a few more drops it tends to go away...unless it's something super strong like clove!

I would have to agree on this one either the smoketech titan or the stardust v2 clearomizer that has the same type of system. The big diffrence is the tank holds about 5ml with out flooding the system and the stardust v2 clearomizer only holds about 1.6ml. Either would allow you to quickly and cleanly change flavors with out having more than just a couple of systems like this. I would also recomend got vapes or altsmoke for the purchase as they both have amazing prices for this type of equipment. Also the vision tank is similar to the smoketech titan tank system and use similar build atomizers so you might want to look at that system as well.

first off, I consider myself pretty new to vaping still but i can tell you that the vivi nova 3.5ml clear tank V2.5 is very easy to use (510) UK link
and you can just pour the remaining juice back in the bottle without losing even a drop of juice. put in the new juice and vape away the first vapes may be the old juice because its still in the wicks but wont take long for the new juice to kick in (if you fill the tank completely) you can get over 4ml in it :) don't know if its good to do so tho

cleaning guide:
The only thing I can say is to clean everything occasionally (I did my first clean after 4 days use). Disassemble the works. Top/bottom cap, drip tip, remove the head and the top rubber cap for it. Rinse everything under warm tap water; or fill a large bowl with warm water if you're worried you'll drop a part down the drain. Dry everything you can get to easily with paper towel, leave it disassembled on a paper towel overnight/24 hours. Put it all back together, fill, and you'll be good to go. The first few pulls may be sub-par if there's still a bit of moisture on the wicks. Don't worry, it cooks off and you'll be back to vaping properly in no time. Personally, I don't even let it wait overnight, though I trim my wicks down so they don't retain as much water. I put it together right away, fill, and just deal with a few "meh" vapes. Once the liquid wicks to the coil it resumes full functionality.

A full disassemble/clean only takes around 5 minutes.

Thank you guys for all the suggestions! I went ahead and ordered a vivi nova and went to my local store and picked up a 306dca and I gotta say... This is exactly what I was looking for! If you are thinking about getting one I highly recommend them for the ease at which you can change juices.

One thing though, and I don't know if it's because this is my first time trying an atomizer or if I am doing something wrong, but I get a slight metallic taste to the juice even on the first draw. I can't really notice it when I inhale through my mouth, but sometimes I do a french inhale through my nose and the metallic taste really comes through.

im not sure but it may have something to do with the ... copy pasting PV info >The solid brass floating center pin in the lower drip cup allows for draw adjustment by increasing or decreasing the center intake gap.
or try to power you PV for a sec before vaping, on my PV it gives me a stronger sense of the juice

french inhaling :glare:/ try vaping as you would a analog , pull in untill you start to feel the throat hit , then inhale , thats how i like it anyway
