just be careful claire when you clean the rocket,

You will see in the top cap a little silicone seal directly under the drip tip (don`t lose it down the plug hole) LOL; like i nearly did.

Didn't like the look or feel of the Kamry eCab V2 mod, was just too smooth and slick, so I painted it a metallic black textured finish.

Nice Burnie! More 'Manly' now for sure :). I just never got along good with mine. It was just a little weak. I think I'll pull it out of the drawer, and recoil a pro tank mini to a 1.2 or 1.5 ohm coil and see if that helps. I do like the size for ease of carry. What do you use on yours? Maybe I just got a 'bad' one.

Seems like things are starting to move better now. Thats great. I can't wait to give this to 'tha boys'. I know they will like them. I will likely have to get more of them too when the grandsons see them :). A lot of bang for 10 bux IMO.

Just a CE4 or EVOD for out and about, 1.8 to 2.4 ohms coil, lower works better. Can't put anything big due to the size. I use Efest 700mAh IMR batteries.

Thanks, I was using davide mini's or a pro tank mini. I just can't remember what ohm coil I was using last though. Hopefully, I'll get it going better. It does carry well, and would be great for the out and about.

I have a plastic tub that I empty into, fill with water, pop lid on, shake about, then take everything out, dry off and assemble before tipping away. Only because I have lost stuff in the past through using fingers as a sieve!

But cheers for heads up Terry - do I need magnetic screwdriver for it too? Can't wait to play! Praying for postie to show his face!

Waaaaaay too much for me to catch up on here! I'm refraining from any FT orders until after christmas for now. I'm more than happy with my carto tank(s) for now anyway and got loads of liquids so no need for any purchases other than replacement cartos. My plan is to spend as little as possible until new year - lets see how long that lasts! ;)

You will need a magnetic screwdriver ONLY if you take any screws off the post`s like i did (by accident). But having said that, i still managed to get it back in with the driver provided. It just took me about half an hour though :D BTW update on the taifun: it is now in packaging, woo hoo.

By the way ian, good recommendation on the cappuccino juice from vapology - i got it with extra flavour and dived in for a bit before it's steeped and the flavour certainly matches the smell (lovely). Do you get a slight cigar taste to it as well? I used to smoke cafe creme cigars now and then and it reminds me a little of those although its far more cappucino like than cigar-like. I tried something similar from Vape Escape (Grizwalds Gourmet Perpetu Leche), which is a similar taste to this cappucino, but with a much stronger coffee type flavour to it. It was too strong for my liking, but i know you like your flavours extra strong so you would probably be into it :)

I've got a 9 hour work day today and 5 hours tomorrow and then off for 2 days, work 4 hours on Saturday and off for 2 more days. A nice week for me :p I've revisited my FastTech Pisces with this new F-16 tank I've just gotten in. The Pisces is a gorgeous, lightweight, pristine little mech, but it's NOT a hard hitter... it's a weak little thing.

Now, I put some Dekang Turkish, Hangsen RY4, Hangsen Marlboro Mint, and some Mt Baker Vapor Blue Moo [blueberry creme] juice in this F - 16 carto tank and I've got a MAGNIFICENT morning vape with my coffee =]

I'd prefer a nicer stand to keep this bottom button Pisces in a rotation, but after painting this one with white polish and putting some jewels on it, it's okay... I do need to store this at an angle or the topper will leak.

I always like a good nosey at your collections :)

I remember you asking me about which mod i liked the carto tank on.... definitely the provari, but the evic isnt too far behind. I have another cheap mod called a tornado which has 2 settings (3.6 regulated and 4.2 decreasing on battery drain) and it's rubbish on that, but it is a rubbish mod so no suprise!

I dont like carto tanks on my ba gua - I find i get more TH with a carto tank and a fully charged battery in the ba gua makes the draw too strong for my liking although its probably much better when the batt is partially discharged. As for the cartos themselves, i have boge dual coil, smok dual coil and smok single coil 2 hole. The smok are far superior to the boge. No matter how much time and care i take priming the boges and looking after them they end up giving a burnt taste way too soon. The smok last much longer (like 5 times as long at least) and for me taste a little better too.

If i remember rightly you had ruined your caps somehow, but i'm sure you could get some nice new anodised caps in whatever colour you want from IBTanked. I'm loving mine... well worth getting, looks and vapes great, was the same price (actually slightly less than the best i could find over here) and as a bonus i didnt get hit with taxes at customs so it was even less than i thought :)

I've been using Boge carto tanks for ages, but the taste is always muted unless I use VV/VW. I've got an excessive amount of polypro and Pyrex glass tubes, but you are right, I messed up my silver anodized caps by leaving them in alcohol. I've got a couple of new carto tanks like this one, so I think I am set =]

As far as IBTanked, I ADORE their Halfling tank BUT I have bulk 35mm and 45mm Boge cartos, so I'll not get a halfling tank because I can't get the mini [halfling] carto for a good price :/ That's okay though, I really prefer the larger capacity tanks anyway =]

Priming the Boge carto:

#1 Fill the tank with liquid.
#2 Place the drip tip on.
#3 Hold your finger over the bottom screw hole.
#4 Suck air out of the tank via the drip tip and continue until you can taste a HINT of juice flavor.
#5 Refill the tank with juice, as juice will have been sucked into your carto, reducing the level.
#6 Do a test vape with a quick hit of the firing button. Repeat sucking juice into the carto if necessary.
#7 FLOODING: If you taste juice in the drip tip, blow it out and vape normally.

many people use the carto condom method, but 'ain't nobody got time for dat!'

I got a 'thingy' with my IBTank... basically just a little plastic jar that you can put your tank in when it has a carto inside. When you fasten the lid down, the carto sucks juice out of the tank and it works amazingly well. I have found it's improved even the boges. Thanks for the guide, but i have finally used up the last of my boges and have about 15 smok cartos on my shelf so i will be sticking with them unless i can find somewhere in the UK that sells Ikenvape as they seem to get good reviews. There is one place that sells them that i actually pop into now and then, but they are older cartos, not the same as the recommended ones in the US and they are silly prices to.
