Best Tanks for Provari

[tom_chang79]

Currently, I only use the Aga-T2 in mine, I usually do a u-wick silica with mine with microcoil, but lately been doing the vertical single wick cotton. I just shove a eraser-sized (on #2 pencils) cotton pellet into my coil that's hovering over the wick hole, and as long as I tilt (with one wick hole open), it's like a dripper!

Clouds of vape, less cotton = more vape...

What size ibtanked is best to make the provari look flush.

 

[jetcity]

The 19mm sits flush.

Additional clarity....

19mm = flush with the smaller end of the ProVari Top Cap
22mm = flush with the body of the Provari (pro ring required, or a Provari specific tank)

ok awesome thank you for the size clarification.
im new to carto tanks. so what brand of carto do you recommend for an ibtanked. also i have seen some cartos that have a slim body and some that have the ring at the bottom.
my question is what type of cartos are best?

 

[jetcity]

I like the Boge Standard resistance laser punched cartos. They last me 4-7 days and I buy them from surevapes.com. They have a mix & match option to purchase 5 boxes (25 cartos) for $27.

How do you know when the carto needs replacing? I've got a couple that I've had in my Smok Pyrex DCTs and have been vaping them hard for almost 2 weeks with no sign of performance loss.

I like Smoktech laser punched, but that's just me. IBTanked sells cartomizers on the accessories page and the prices aren't bad. I buy my standard sized from them, since I like flanged and it's hard sometimes to find standard flanged.

Back to the question: cartos are the same diameter. They come in different lengths, but what you see for tank cartos are standard (35mm - tube only, the screw isn't measured) and XL, sometimes called "Mega" (45mm - screw excluded).

The number of holes depends on the thickness of you juice. I vape low vg juice, so 1 or 2 holes is fine; very high vg may need 4 holes.

Flanged or flangeless is personal preference for tanks like the IBTank, which has interchangeable top and bottom caps. There are other tanks that required a flange because of a concave bit at the bottom the flange fits into.

Flangeless carto:

It's not always the same, but here are a few symptoms of impending death:

The draw gets tight
It starts to taste weird
It starts to taste burnt
If you pull off the drip tip and look down, there is a dark circle around the center tube spreading outwards. There's usually a little darkness around the center, but this will appeared burned.
The juice in the tank gets dark and it's not from steeping.

If you rotate you gear and aren't chain-vaping the same carto, they can last a long time.

Mine still look and taste like day 1. I rotate between the same two. And I would call what I do chain vaping.

2.0 XL Smok DC carto ....

They do last longer than that but I prefer to change them sooner... I don't really rotate tanks much.

It was actually my disappointment in Smok DCT that pushed me towards RBAs.
Maybe I got a bad batch of cartos but I didn't enjoy them at all.

I've got a batch of the Boges for my f16s that are hit and miss right now. When they work, they work great for a long time but I've had a couple that were burnt from the first vape including one that came with a tank.

 

[Katch]

They are pretty low ohm though...about 1.6-1.7ish, so they vape well in the high 3s volt range.

I experienced that burnt taste and figured by the second carto this burning has got to be user error. That's when I learned about priming.

I'm preferring my Vison Vivi Nova to the Protank 2 that came with my Provari. If only the Vivi were glass... I am also getting in some (5 boxes) XL Boge 3.0 ohm (non punched). I figure I can use these for trying out my liquid samples. I'll get some carto tanks next paycheck. I'm thinking Valley Vapes, myself. Does anyone like grommets? I was thinking of getting a few for backups to the caps.
