Any tanks yet that work well with High voltage/watt and don't give dry burnt hits?

I've been using an Ecig for atleast 3 years now and I love them. Currently I am using a Vamo @ about 10watts with a io6 3.5ohm atty and this has been my setup for the past year. I have no complaints and absolutely love this setup. I also have a sleeve system on the io6 because I like to soak my atty and that usually leads to lots of leaking juice everywhere especially with an i06, the sleeve keeps all my juice I load up into the atty from leaking out and I am in love with it.

I would like to give tanks another shot, so far I have tried a Viva Nova tank and didn't like it at all I used it once and it gave me nothing but dry burnt hits so I'ts been sitting in my parts box since I bought it.

My issue with tanks so far is that they just don't get wet enough to vape at high voltage/wattage from my experience with them so far. So I have not tried another tank in the past year..

Like I said I like really wet, soaked hits and vape at 10w.

Is there any 510 thread tanks out there now that can be used with High voltage / High wattage vaping and actually give those nice Soaked wet hits? Like I said in my experience the ones I have tried did not get enough juice to the coil and gave really dry burnt hits. I should also note I use 50/50 Pg/Vg juice.

I would like to have a tank for when I go out somewhere really quick so I don't have to bring along my bottle of juice. I will still be using my io6 the majority of the time at home but it would be nice to have options.

If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate it.

EDIT: ALSO I am not against getting a Low resistance tank and lowering my voltage if it means getting a tank that will give me strong moist hits. I don't know if they really sell more tanks for HV or LV either way I just want a tank that really gives a nice strong wet/moist hit and not dry burnt hits.

Thanks,
Jeff

"Throat hit" is primarily determined by the nicotine content in the e-liquid. You may want to increase the nic level in your juices.

Heating coils in the juice attachments are designed to work properly between a certain range of voltages. Attempting to use higher voltage or watts than they were designed for will result in a dry metallic or burnt flavor. Juice flavors will likely taste burnt, also.

Have you tried using a low resistance coil at lower voltages?

Use of higher voltages can also vaporize the juice faster than the wicking system can keep up with. Again the result is a dry bad hit.

I doubt that any clearomizer or cartotank will be able to keep up with your vaping style. A bottom feeding mod might though.

These are generally mechanical box mods that use a drip atomizer. They are an all-in-one tank delivery device. A tank inside the mod is used to feed juice up backwards into the bottom of the atomizer. A squeeze of the tank, called "squonking" and accessed through a hole in the mod starts the process. Very similar to dripping, but you have the juice supply with you at all times in the mod itself. The Reo mod is the most popular and has an extremely loyal following.

I use boge f17 but sounds like you would prefer the f16 and it holds up to 6ml really 5ml.
I use a dual punched 1.7 ohm coil at 5 to 5.5 volts if I use wattage it is 15w. I prefer voltage.
Their is a trick. You can not start your coils at the 5 or 6 volts. You need to do what I call season the coil. I use it at 4 volts or so for a few hits and then step it up rapidly to what is giving me my desired hit. I get about 2 weeks before I want to replace the carto. It just starts tasting bad. If I washed it out and let it dry I probably use it much longer but I notice cartos tend to get a bit juicy towards the endo of their lives. Since I own a store I always have tones of them around so when it starts to taste bad. In the trash it goes.
Good luck

if you're handy you might consider a rebuildable tank system like a Kayfun or Taifun, or a clone if your vape budget isnt massive. a genny might be more your style also. granted that rebuildables do have a learning curve that should be respected. my gennys run roughly around 18-22 watts without burning and when setup right can almost choke you with the amount of vapor and TH.
 

GoodNews!

Honestly, I wouldn't say there's any tanks out there that'd fit your vaping style. I personally found my "dream vape" running a Cisco atty with 3.5ohms and ~4.1V's, though it clogged up fast. No throat hit, extremely moist and juicy flavor, and a ton of vapor.

Tanks, to me, have been exactly the opposite. Even when running 3.3V's on a 2.8ohm tank coil, they give me harsh, dry, or at the best, a wicky tasting vape (marked by a sort of wall insulation or dirty dog taste, or a sour, fishy taste in menthol), and even then, barely any vapor. The things just don't wick IMO, or if they do, then a QC problem in all the brands is now rampant. I've tried everything - no flavor wicks, fewer flavor wicks, turning rubber caps upside down, using my own silica flavor wicks, using cotton flavor wicks, using cotton coil wicks, absolutely nothing makes these tanks taste clean, moist, or full of flavor. It's as though the very best I can get from them is a drier, cotton-candy version of whatever juice I use, mixed with a slight dirty taste, like sweet but dirty dog hair. I've also compared it to slightly singed cigarette filters. To me, all the tank coils taste dirtier than even the dirtiest of disposable e-cigs I've tried.

Could be a cleaning issue, though, I admit. I'm not a fan of soaking my tanks in pure alcohol for health reasons.

You hear so many posts about how great tanks taste, even right out of the box, but with the rising ratio of some people turning around and posting "Wow, I never knew what my juices tasted like until I RDA'ed them!", then really, it can be best just not to listen to the crowd. If you do try a tank, you'll get the same experience from some cheap $4 stuff, like a CE5, as you would a Protank. If not better. I've had CE4's and CE5's work where nothing else would. If you do have the money to play with, then hey, experiment with what you can, everything's a learning experience, but there's a lot of common sense in it too - I've found that any experiences that claim more positivity from tanks than cheaper, plastic little doo-hickies just seem to fall down to the build of the coil by the factory, and in my experience, no brand is better than that than another.

I say squonking with a dripping atty is probably the best route to go. Though I thought the Aurora was a little too finicky and had some defects, they do have the Aurora out there for like $35 or so. Could be worth a try. It's a miniature Reo... more or less. To get it to wick at all, you really do have to squonk easy and then suck up all the juice into the atty (it pushes absolutely none of it up into the atty, like a holed RDA on a Reo), and I didn't have much luck with it because I do have a lighter draw for a medical reason.
