Atty's cartos, carts... Ok so right now I drip, hubby uses clearos... let me stop here and say clearos are a hassle. 1st our refill kit didn't come so we have to pop that rubber ring off to fill and then put it back on... just right... 2nd they crack way too easy (we're going to try the syringe mod because of this). I will say the vape off the clearo has tasted great (once I got a really bad burnt taste off one but only once so far). As far as I can tell the regular CE2s are filled the same way as the clearos.... is that correct?

Dripping tastes pretty good also but the flavor tapers off (at least for me) awhile before it's time to refill so I refill too soon and then I get leaking around the atty...

I know I don't want to mess with cartidges...

Sooooo now I'm considering trying the tanks... but I wanted some ECF opinions on this.... it would be great if you tell me what you do or don't like about them.... pretty please

just trying to find the most comfortable/tasty way for me to vape.... thx in advance :)

Although I don't have one, take a look at the GoGo. It is a tank system that is said to work better than the Ego-T.

Do a search for GoGo and read what others here are saying about it.

Here is a link to one thread: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/ego-type-models/175310-users-guide-gogo.html

I think Nhaler.com sells them.

I keep seeing them talk about the gogo and wqas having a hard time finding it to get a look... thanks for that info because I had been wanting toget a look at it and see what the fuss was about.

I too have gone to bottom feeder (Old Goat/Big Stu's bottom feeders) after 10 months of trying everything else. Before the bottom feeder, dripping was my option and it isn't ideal and can't be done everywhere easily or safely. These models are a very affordable way to test out whether I would like this avenue and I love it. I load up a bottle of juice and a fresh battery and am on my way for the day. I carry a small change purse with an extra 3ml bottle of juice, a spare atomizer, and extra batteries either in my purse or on my person-just in case. Just seems that bottom feeders are the easiest, cleanest, least complicated method I've tried to date. I don't know if I will ever move up to the more expensive bottom feeders or not as these are inexpensive and work very well. I do know that a bottom feeder of some kind will be my vape of choice from now on.

I've been at this for months and still haven't found my vape yet. The Ego with cartridges got me started. Dripping was fun. Tanks... I can use them, but I've found the most consistent thing about them is how inconsistent they are.

I fell in love with bottom feeders and bought a pair of pricey ones... then I started getting really bored with vaping 6ml of the same liquid. It's not that hard to change the bottle, and it's even possible to drip with a feeder... but it's not my ideal solution.

So, right now I've put everything aside in favor of a madvapes Maxi Roughstack and I'm back to dripping, usually a different flavor with each drip. Not my ideal solution, either.

However... all the things I tried beat cigarettes.

QT on the beating cigs... The flavor alone is better even if it's a tobacco flavor juice IMO. I think what I'm looking for is an easy fill option for when I don't feel like dripping but one that vapes well.

I can see that. I'm okay with mixing juices. Most of my liquids basically combine into... ice cream sundaes. That is, chocolate, vanilla, butterscotch, strawberry, banana, cherry, blueberry, etc.

For vaping one certain flavor... a good bottom feeder, variable volt if possible. They're not cheap, but you won't be unhappy.

lol, This is a perfect description of the tanks. My husband uses one and it is lasting forever. He doesn't vape much though...only when he absolutely can't smoke. I found them too fickle.

I've tried the go-go and it's fairly decent, but it's no where near the quality flavor of a plain old ego with boge lr 2.0 cartomizers though. Go-go's aren't tanks...they just have a large proprietary cartomizer. Cartomizers are pretty easy to fill. Much easier than the clearos or ce2 but they vape better and last longer than regular cartridges.

I've recently upgraded to a provari which is fantastic...but it's a bit pricey. Worth it, imo, but others may balk at the price.

I also use a bottom feeder (REO grand), but there is a bit of a learning curve involved with using one without flooding your atty or burning it out.

I just bought Tank for inferno so I can drive and vape safer. I knew the throat hit on the tank would be close to nothing since I vape all VG but totally disappointed that I didnt get any TH at all. Flavor is nice tho. I going to have to play around with my mixtures to get it to work with the tank. If I can get it to work with my juice, it would be great. Filling them is really easy. Also if you are vaping the magma, volcano started selling tanks for the magmas too.


I seem to be able to get nice TH with unflav. juice on the tank with 95%VG. That is good enuff for me. As long as I don't have to drip at 80mph I be ok. Vapor is amazing

I have looked at the ProVari.... several times... maybe for Christmas... in the meantime from what you're saying the gogo may be a good fit for me since the Provari is unfortunately not in the budget. I'm not that worried about how often I fill just how easy it is to fill, TH and taste. I've luckily already found a few liquids that suit me.

On a side note: To me the ProVari looks like the Cadillac of pvs. I'd say Provapes hit a homerun with that one.

I hear alot of good things about the inferno but I'm a bit irritated with Volcano right now... I will say I'm pretty happy with the performance of their equipment, I've just had some problems with missing or wrong items. I'm hoping its just a temporary thing but I may never know hubby isn't wanting to deal with them as of now.

Not that they're unwilling to fix it, they are. It's just it's happened on both our orders... starting off on the wrong foot kind of thing.

feeder sounds good. If only I can only mix oil based liquid with vg I will be happy. But that is impossible unless I can be in a vacuum in a freezer. I haven't have any problems with volcano sending me my orders. Hopefully they will smarten up for ya. It did however take a month yeah took them a month to determine that my passthru batt was bad. I was so impatient that I bought another kit. So now I don't have to worry about broken batt. Their stuff is pretty good quality wise. But they should make a 1.5 lr atty that can withstand my Kill 1.5 atty juice.(Djarum Black with all VG will kill my atty in 48 hrs) Inferno is great to me but there are others out there. I know I will get a mod once my batteries start to die off.

I have a Go-Go and it is the best PV I've found for me in 17 months of searching. I highly recommend it but if you have 808D-1 already you might want to try the iGo, it has a 808 connector. It has the same type of cartomizer as the Go-Go. It is a little slimmer being as it is only 1100 mah instead of 1300. I haven't tried one but those that have seem to like them. Nhaler is the only one that sells iGo, he is out of Go-Gos last time I checked. If you don't have alot of 808 cartos though and want a really good consistant all day vape get the Go-Go. I forgot the there is now an adaptor from Go-Go to 808D-1 at Cigeasy and he is the only one that has the Go-Go and adaptors for them in stock right now and they have been selling out rather quickly but he has had them for a few days now.

Just got my first box of Vortex...
Nice vape...CE2 like but the coil is at the bottom...very little wick...super easy to fill, and even change flavors.
GotVapes VORTEX 808 Bottom Coil Clearomizer - 1.2ml 2.7ohm 5PK [gotvapes-808vortex-2.7ohm] - $12.95 : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more
Note: Those flavors that eat the plastic of Clearomizers will eat these as well.

So far I'm really enjoying the way these vape on a stock eGo battery and KR808D-1 batteries. If they last several refills I wouldn't hesitate to stock up on these. Oh...they only come with 808 threads at 2.7ohms right now but worth getting an adaptor.

Yes, Metal CE2s work just like the clearos but without the cracking plastic sleeves.
