Attys vs carts vs tanks

[Off Topic]

Off topic want a good tank go to mad vapes they are 15 they are amazing

My issue with carto tanks is how I vape. I take huge 15second multi pull lungfulls. This heats up the carto, which transfers the heat to the liquid in the tank, which expands. Guess what happens when the liquid in the tank goes under pressure? It floods the carto, then leaks all over the place.

If I took 3 second hits, every 10 minutes, this problem would not exist.

Right now I use Cisco spec attys, vivi novas and T3s exclusively.

I finally sent cartos packing when the vivi nova and lately, the T3 came around. I'm first and foremost a dripper...I keep a number of Cisco spec attys around for that. Cartos were OK for those times when I couldn't drip, like when driving, but I never liked the way they altered the flavor compared to dripping. Plus, to avoid burning them, you really need to top them off every now and again.... But it was a trade-off I was willing to make for the temporary convenience. With the VN and T3s, I've finally found an almost perfect alternative to dripping. The vape is a little cooler, but that's fine by me. If the flavor from dripping is a benchmark 100, then to me the VN is about 85-90 depending on the head, the T3 about 95 and the best carto I ever had was about an 80...most were around 60-70.

However, what floats your boat is all that really matters. Give 'em all a go and see what your pleasure receptors have to say!

I'd like to get some atty's just for sampling flavors, I have some carto's I've kept for that, but after tanks, I'll never go back to carto's! After cleaning carto's, drying carto's, filling carto's etc., they just got to be a pain! If you plan on buying empty, or that flavor and refilling, great! But you will still have to clean them sometime, and fill them!
The tanks, fill it, vape it and enjoy it! One small mess to clean up every other day, I can live with! I have a couple of the Vivi Nova's on the way, if they are even close to the DCT's I'm using now, I'll be tickled pink!

Grab yourself a couple of HHs and maybe a Bulli rba. Great for juice sampling. My HHs last on average about two to three weeks each (when I'm at home I only drip, which means they get used about 4-6 hours a day on average and more on weekends), and the Bulli I've had about a month and haven't had to rebuild it yet.

i like cartos (with or without tanks) and only get mine from ikenvape.com, generally if i'm using a tank i use the platinum series 510 cartomizers from ikenvape....if i'm using naked cartos i go with the ikenvape 801 fusions.

i do like to drip at home...when dripping, i find the best performing is my HH .357 atomizer from avidvapor, but the easiest learning curve on a drip atty is the io6 atomizer from ikenvape

I drip for testing juices. Most of the time I use cartomizers, bottom coil. I really prefer bottom coil and Kanger bottom coil cartos are excellent. I have some vertical coil that do the job but bottom coil are better for the vape I like.
I also use Vision Vivi Novas - haven't noticed muted flavors. Not as clear and strong as dripping but then nothing usually is.
I'm keen to try the T3s as well.

i started with 650 twist + clearomizers. they were awesome until i cleaned them. afterwards they started to not hit well. i'd say they are the best all around delivery method in terms of flavor and portability but they are finicky and inconsistent.

since then i've tried vivi tanks, cartomizers, carto tanks, and most recently rebuildable atomizers.

cartomizers are what i use on the go. carto tanks and a dripping rba at home.

i HATED the vivi tanks, i think it has to do with the wick material they used.

carto tanks are very reliable but i find them too airy and you need to take slow draws from them which i don't love. i also find i prefer the 3.0 ohm with a single coil, so to make it work you need something that can hit high voltage.

rebuildable dripping atomizers are figgin awesome. the flavor is on par with a fresh vision clearomizer but its realiable because you can make a fresh wick and coil whenever you want. again your gonna want something that can hit high voltages with these.

I'm mainly home bound anymore, and I'm lazy! This is why I like my tanks! I'd go crazy sitting around dripping all day!

Issac keeps trying to talk me into getting an IO6 to try, says I'll forget all about my tanks after that

Isaac really does make some nifty stuff....the io6 and his cartos are some of the best juice delivery systems on the planet right now.....personally i'm waiting for him to perfect his atty tank he's been selling "beta" versions of in the projects section of his site...

i am fixing to order a handful of extra io6 attys actually, as i've recently gotten a REO, and i'm liking it a lot, but i don't want to carry around the reo with an HH all the time incase i drop it and break the barrel off.

 

[sawlight]

I agree! I have some of his mega carto's sitting right here beside me! The standard tank he's selling and the 510 "Punch" carto's are getting some rave reviews in his forum. I haven't tried them yet, so I can't say. His prototype looks neat, other than the syringe filling part.
But I'm wandering off topic now.

 

[Flexxx]

Tanks all the way for me.

 

[RichoVonBlack]

Cool info, makes me think of investing in a Tank,
Hmmmmm,

 

[grandmato5]

I still prefer dripping with attys and that's what I do most often when home. Sometimes at home you'll find me using my Zenesis mini or ZAP on my Buzz or Omega which uses a genesis RA atty/tank. Out and about you'll find me using my Hogmod bottom feeder with an attys most often. Sometimes I choose to use either a carto or clearo on my Twist when out and about. My carto tanks really dont get used very often anymore since I'm not a huge carto fan.

I like variety in my vaping so I like having and using a variety of juice delivery systems for all my APV's

 

[CharlieBrown]

I first started with the vivi novas, then went to carto tanks, then graduated to attys. I've been vaping for about 4 months now and nothing beats dripping for me. I use the HH 357 long barrel like the other folks but on a 901.
Doing my research on a rba now and would like to use mesh instead of silica. Waiting to see what the AMP tank has to offer.
At home: nuttin but dripping for best flavor, especially if I want to test my juices
At work: drip, only carto, carto tank, then vivi (order of preference)
Driving: tank or vivi
I'm not a big fan of the vivi because it burns through juice faster and cooks the juice while in the tank.
My mods are a zmax and an empire

Does he offer anything pre-punched in 1.7ohms?

He does not, at least not now! He has a non-punched 801 at 1.8ohms.

I might give them a try anyway.Isnt that hard for me to punch a hole with a sheetrock screw and a hammer

 

[KarlMatson86]

As others have said cartos and attys both serve there purpose i have been moving along i believe vary fast in the vaping world for just about a month in a half i went from dripping on a single atty for 3 days got a tank and punched cartos for the remainder of the month witch i still go back too once and a while and for the last 2 weeks i've dipped extensively and pleasurably into the DID (clone) Genesis rebuldible atomizer world and glad i DID never going back to analogs/smokes true tast and from what i have read seams that the real DID is even better then this and if its as much as a difference in change from cartos to rebuildibles I think I might scream from the roof tops with flavor YELPS!!! what up vape on suckaaaazzzzz!!!!!!

 

[xb9rguy]

I haven't tried an atty but have tried carto's clearo's and recently went with carto tanks and am extremely happy with the performance over the clearo's that I have used (vivi nova's and kanger t2's). Carto tanks to me are just mess free clearo's with better taste. And I'd use a carto by itself before going back to a clearo.

 

[rzpooch]

I'm using carto's, they seem easy to me. Fill, vape, add a few drops and repeat! They last me 4 to 5 days. I haven't tryed cart tanks, but I'm happy with the lowly carto for now...lol. I tossed all my clearo's, fussy, messy, cool concept...poor execution!
