Carto tank question

[cocacola31173]

Ok so Ive been looking on getting my first carto tank. My question is there a difference in taste then just using a carto alone or is it just for the convience of not having to refill a carto so much?

And what would be the easiest setup for a new person using this?

Thanks!

No dry hits when using a tank system and you also extend the life of the carto because its constantly wet.

Ever notice that really nice flavor when a carto is full and firing right? You'll get that more often using a carto tank if you have the right setup.

What blend of juice do you prefer and are you planning on getting cartos pre-punched or doing them yourself.? Also helpful to know what kind of flavors you like or are expecting to use in it.

I use a 70 pg 30 vg blend and I guess prepunched since I have no idea what I am doing.

Youre only going to need one hole then. I would check out IBTanked.com, or valley view vapes.

They have pyrex tanks for 20 bucks and pyrex is the safest choice for liquids such as cinnamon or fruit and citrus juices that can crack or cloud other tanks. They also offer cartos pre-punched for you.

If youre buying cartos buy themselves check out Ikenvape.com or Smoktek.com

Any recommendations on something I could get thats all put together already?

can give this a try http://www.smoktek.com/SmokTank-XL--6ml-Chrome-Dual-Coil-Cartomizer-Tank_p_197.html

It isnt pyrex but a decent low cost alternative. They also offer lightning fast shipping

Personally, I don't like the flavor of cartos until they get into a tank. Something about the constantly wet filler really keeps the flavor good. Of course the convenience of not having to constantly top off is great too. I've only bought from IBTanked, it's a great product and they ship fast. I just ordered my 3rd today. I'd suggest a 19mm XL with stainless caps to start. Smoktech carto to stick in it. I've found the Boges to draw too tight and clog much faster.

I know right? All that refreshing flavor I vaped like 7 mL on x mas eve in a few hours. My tank was full and had a good working cartomizer and I couldn't put the darned thing down! Yum

So what would I expect to pay for it...I want one that I don't have to worry about leaking constantly and I would only need may a 3 ml tank. If you have to buy all the parts seperate is it difficult to put together?

If you purchase a tank from IBTanked - Get Tanked With Us! you will have a high quality, inexpensive pyrex glass tank for under $18. I did a review of these tanks in this link http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/tank-reviews/349222-ibtanked-pyrex-glass-tanks.html. There are many images of these tanks within that thread.

The ordering process on the website is easy, as explained in my review. Step by step, you first order the size tube you want, then order the type of caps you wish (either acrylic or stainless steel) to put on the tube. Top it off with a drip tip (also sold on the site).

There generally are pre-punched cartos available for purchase on the site, too, but I notice that currently those are out of stock. I will provide you with a link to a vendor that has pre-punched cartos available. ElectronicStix.Com · Single Boge 510 Blank Laser Punched Cartomizer For Tank Systems Just be certain to order the same length tank as the carto length that you wish to put in it. Standard size cartos (35mm) will fit the regular sized tube, XL size cartos (45mm) will fit the XL size tube.

As Zapped recommended, I like the Ikenvape and Smoktek pre-punched cartos, but those sites are currently out-of-stock of the preferred cartos. Thus, I provided the above link to the Boge cartos, which many people like, too.

Below is an image of both the XL and regular size 19mm tanks on identical Provari's. The XL tank holds 2.0ml and the regular size holds 1.5ml of liquid.

Cartotanks are extremely easy to assemble. Just lubricate all the contact points with a small amount of e-liquid. Just follow the instructions in the following video. In addition to those, I have found that plugging the center airhole of the cartomizer with a wood toothpick when prefilling it will eliminate any accidental liquid from entering it.




Any additional questions, feel free to ask.

aside from function, carto tanks just look so much more SIMPLISTIC which is why I want one! simple is smarter!
