Attys vs carts vs tanks

[trollytrackz]

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

Yeah you may have a point here? Do vivi's burn through more juice than carto tanks? Certainly more than dripping I imagine..

tanks are the next thing I am going to try. I like to use clearos when I am out or at work just because they are not much hassle, I can carry a few different ones, and easily change them when I see they are getting low. I am not sure I have the whole dripping thing mastered so at home I use a cart that I can just top up as necessary. Because they are so cheap I can have one for each flavor.

I don't look at one method as being better than the others, they are just different and veriety is spice. So take the time to learn how to use each method of vaping, and enjoy them all.

I just started the drip atty last night and love it. More cloud more taste...wow i could get hooked on this concept.

The 3ml J-tank from electronicstix.com will make it through an entire 1300 mAh spinner for me. The tank outlasts the battery (about 9 or so hours average for me depending on the voltage I'm using). It's a relatively small tank and it doesn't leak. I carry it in my pocket all day. It doesn't get much more convenient than that for me.

I always have a backup battery, a 2nd filled tank, and an unopened cartomizer close by just in case.

Ive been dripping for 3+ years... Best way IMO... Tanks can leak, they make your mod bigger.

I use vivi novas for testing liquids. I use carto tanks once I have found a 'go to liquid'. I use atty's in my bottom feeders (reo and vmod)

 

[mrwilliams2]

River, just curious which tanks you've tried that leak. I have 2 J-tanks and 2 pyrex tanks from ibtanked.com and none of them have ever leaked. Paired with the laser drilled Boge cartos from electronicstix.com, they have all been nothing short of amazing for me.

don't jinx it mrwilliams! i've never used a j-tank personally. smoktechs, f16's (by boge? got them from vaporbeast.), and a boatload of rebuildable atomizer tanks. in my ecperience, if it holds juice i can make it leak. in fact i make it seem effortless.

i still like to use them on occasion though. dripping sucks behind the wheel, on a boat, in a foundry, in a powerplant, basically anywhere i work...

 

[mrwilliams2]

I hear you jim. I do make a conscience effort not to bang them around too much when they are in my pocket! I stayed away from smoktech and f16 tanks because a lot of the reviews I read said they had leaking issues. I picked up a couple of J-tanks largely because they were so highly recommended by pBusardo in his youtube videos. I'm glad I did! Give one a shot... I'm sure you won't be disappointed!

I solved that problem ............ quit working

Actually, sounds like you would be a good candidate for a REO.

Thanks Riverboat...yes loving it. I have the Tube Tank and it flooded right away and blew it out several times and just started leaking. I have ordered a momandpop tube to try. Hope it works. So lack of a tube that worked last night started dripping and MAN what a VAPE!!

You are so right !!!

I seem to be in the group that likes carto's better then vivi nova's. I did not know this to start with and bought about 10 full and mini nova's. I still use them for different flavors so not a waste. I am dieing to try a rba but at $150 thats a lot of cash if I don't like them.....
Looking at the ZEN and the Cobra at the moment.

Oh I've got two, partner. Grand and mini. I think i should have held out for a VV. But maybe down the road.

I'd look at getting a clone then if i were you. It's a good way to get your feet wet. Personally, i don't see $100+ in my DiD over my Dud. I don't think that's a popular belief, but that's how i feel about it.

I'll be getting a SmokTank XL DCT - Locking Dual Coil Cartomizer Tank from Smoktek in today. I'm not going to give my opinion until I've seen how long a carto lasts, and what amount of flavor I get out of it. I've read a few posts that say carto tanks are a good choice. I can understand where dripping may give the best flavor, but I'm usually too busy to be holding a bottle of juice in my hand all day. I do see an advantage in test tasting the flavor of a new juice though.

I've noticed that you do go through more juice in a vivi compared to a carto tank. I don't go through as much juice when dripping; my juice consumption is from 10ml per day on a tank to around 5ml a day when dripping.

My Vivi and Splitfire both seem to consume much juice. I hope when I get my carto tank [Smoktek DCT XL lockable], my juice consumption will go down a bit. I ordered the single coil carto's because I am using a Twist, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand I need a more powerful Mod to accommodate the dual coil. Dripping may have more flavor, but it seems a PITA to me, having to have a juice bottle in my hands all day.
