5ml just seems like overkill to me

I have the 5ml ones on an eGo, it is a little top heavy but nothing too bad. I like not having to fill up as often.

The 2ml might look OK on the mini, but i am not familiar with the mini enough to say for sure. Maybe someone could post pics of a 2ml tank on a mini, that would be helpful. You could always get one of each to see which one you like the best.

Love my carto tanks! I usually use singld coil standard (2.5) or more often 3.0 ohms on all my vv pv's. I love the convenience and performance. I have some great cartomaters frm vaperfexion, and I just got a couple phiniac tanks-one of them is so big it only looks right on my bombshell stinger, so that's where it lives. Cartos beat any wick based tank or system I have tried. I am fully converted.

Just a suggestion based on my own experience. Perhaps the low resistance carto's are contributing in part to your dislike of filler style. I learned over time that I prefer a "cooler" vape. My first tanks came included with Smoktech low resistance dual coil carto's. And I continued to replace them with the same. I didn't know any better at the time, but I just assumed that was all I should use in the tanks.

Well, like you I was not satisfied with them, but I did like carto tanks. I looked around the forums and realized that a lot of people were using single coil cartos. And I found the following chart Vaping Power Chart 2.0 - Imgur

I decided to switch to standard resistance. So the combination of standard resistance, single coil cartos made a significant change of improvement for me. Since the 2 ohm ce2 cartos were an improvement for you, I suggest the next time you purchase cartomizers that you get 2.0 ohm single carts.

Newbie here. That chart you linked is saying that 4.0-8.5 watts is optimal, but all the video reviews I've watched (GG and PB included) seem to always be vaping around 9 watts. What's up with that?

Some vapers like to push their equipment to the max (no pun intended).

Me? I've found 3.8 volts with a 2.0 standard resistance single coil cartomizer delivers a delicious vape, TONS of vapor, and zero percent burnt hits.

Now, that may change once I get my Vamo and my Provari Mini, but for right now, with my Twist, my Lavatube, and my Kgo VV, everything is locked in at 3.8 volts. Well, the Twist is set at the notch right before 4.0, so I'm assuming it's 3.8.

That's 7.2 watts

And????????????? The average person is happy at 8! Taste is subjective! Everything is vaping is subjective! Some like 5watts, some like 20watts? then others want 400watts! God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy!

Indeed. I just wish some crazy millionaire would leave me all his money.

Of course it's subjective, but preferences fall on a bell curve, the peak of which is considered the consensus. The vaping power charts represent this consensus by highlighting it in green. On the charts, this is about 6W. However, the people I've heard talking about their vaping preferences almost invariably say 9-ish watts is what they use. This is a huge disparity.

Yep, excellent flavor and all day convenience in a compact package. Once you get the routine down, you can assemble and fill a new cartotank setup in four minutes.

I prefer the pyrex IBTanks (the smaller 19mm diameter) for my slimmer mods like the Provari and BB.

For the larger mods like my Silver Bullet I like the Triple V luxury pyrex tanks from Valley View Vapes.

And everyone love's my handblown glass frog tank from High Desert Vapers

For the 19mm tank on the provari, do you know how much ml of juice it holds?

By this point, numbers no longer really concern me. You can vape at 12 watts, 6 watts, 4.5 volts, 6.0 volts, 3.7, 3.2, 3.8, it's all about where your sweet spot is. With all my juices, with all my equipment and gadgets, 3.8 is my sweet spot.

Use an atomizer with a different resistance, and that sweet spot will shift. Remember it's watts, not voltage, that matters.
