How'd you get those red o-rings? That looks sharp!

EDIT - sorry, I hit the reply btn on the wrong post -- meant it to go to stevegmu about the 22mm halfling!
are there any carto tank loyalists left?!

I use them on the tank I put Pluid in.

ME! I have a bunch of different atomizers, but there are a few Phiniacs and IBT's I still keep in rotation.
I am still 100% a fan of carto tanks. Hassle free, delicious, simple.
I may check into a kayfun (Bad convinced me without even trying), but rest assured you will never find me hovering over a dripper.
It's a sad day for carto lovers. I feel like we've been marginalized. I'll never trust clearos of any kind, no matter how fancy they get, and rba's are so not me or my vaping style it's not even funny.
And my local store is still on the fence whether they will continue to stock cartos or not. It sucks. My stash slowly dwindles..........

My first RBA was an AGA-T. Genesis-style tanks are probably the most difficult design with the highest learning curve of any RBA. They nearly turned me off to all rebuildables. These went into a drawer after two months of frustrating use.
Got a Kayfun. and although it has its own learning curve (every device made has a learning curve), it is nowhere near as difficult as a Genesis-style RBA. I currently use my Kayfun on a daily basis.
Hi Baditude, I was curious about one thing considering you came from a carto tank back round. You taught me everything I know about carto tanks and I fell in love with them. But I was curious about the draw difference between the the Kayfun and the carto tank. I have both and find the carto tank to be a smooth nice draw. Where as the Kayfun to have a tighter draw. Just curious how you adapted? I like my kayfun but I love the draw on a carto tank.
I like 'em, they give it a really different look. My own cartotank doesn't use that kind of o-rings, it only has the small ones that seal the carto itself (it's a Smok UDCT), but I have a quartz kit for my kayfun that uses that size o-rings, I bet I could use those 22mm ones from IBT.
Thx!

I've experienced the same thing. I found that individual cartos can have different draw. You adapt.
Kayfun has a tighter draw than a cartotank (generally speaking). You adapt. Adjust your expectations. I removed the air control screw entirely for whatever that's worth.
My rebuildable drip atomizers have drilled out air holes for a wide open, lung-inhaling draw. Then I switch to my tight mouth-to-lung inhale of the KFL, and I have to adjust to a different draw technique. You adjust your expectations and adapt.

That is super lame and scary. I remember getting into vivinovas for a while there and they were so much upkeep. Once the o-rings died (or if they're bad upon first use) taping the threads w Teflon killed it for me. You think retailers would just keep certain atomizers available instead of dictate what their customers should use by keeping a certain stock.
A kayfun is pretty much a kayfun, as far as building for it. Some clones are better than others, and the main differences seem to be the depth of the juice channels, and the size of the airflow hole -- most folks holler about the kayfun being "too tight", but I have the Tobeco KFL+ clone with 2mm custom airflow, and I find it almost too airy; I keep the airflow almost entirely closed, so it feels like something other than sucking on an empty straw. But I have another, no-name KFL clone, which seems to have nearly zero airflow, and I don't know why, unless there's just something wrong with how the block and such are put together -- but it's not a "plus", so the airflow is not adjustable, and maybe that's the type of kayfun that people mean when they say that kayfuns are "too tight".

Still a huge fan of Carto tanks here. I mainly stick with IBtanked and smoktech cartos from their site as well. My favorite is an IBtanked 22 XL with a smok 3.2 ohm carto. I can fill it in the morning and not have to worry about it until the next day. Simple and trouble free vaping at its best.
I don't know which cartos you like Rocketpunk, but I doubt you'll have to worry about getting basic cartos for the next couple of years. After that it might be safer to know how to use rebuildables.
While I loved them I moved on to Kayfuns. I absolutely loved my IBtanks but find Kayfuns easier to use over the long term. Rewicking a Kayfun takes less time than priming a new carto, not to mention it's much much cheaper. If for whatever reason I stopped using Kayfuns I'd go back to IBtanks and not clearos. Previous to them I used EVODs and Protanks.
I've just bought a couple of hundred Boge cartos that were on offer at Liberty Flights UK. It's looking like they'll no longer stock them.
I use Taifuns (easier build) and Kayfuns every day but still get the odd dry hit or leak with no obvious reason for it.
Unfortunately for vapour and taste an RBA is just better than a cartotank. That's why people are switching (the cheapness of cloned RBA's is also major factor).
Cartotanks still have a place in my vaping arsenal because they are the only system i am happy to stick in my back pocket and forget about. They were my natural progression from generic CE3/CE4 type clearomisers. I do fear that their days are numbered though.

I hope your wrong. Ikenvape is still coming out with new models of cartos. I'm hoping there will, at least, be a niche market for the foreseeable future.
