Cartomizer Tank ( J-Tank )

[m1ke]

Would it be bad to put a black Bauway cartomizer into a J-tank ? I have a saddle valve to put holes in it, but from what I've seen, stainless steel seems to be the correct thing to use in a tank.

I have a few types of cartomizers, but I like the black Bauway the most ( most vapor and flavor ) and it's probably because they're ~2.4 ohm. The other cartomizers I have are:

stainless steel 1.8 ohm ( decent amount of vapor but lack flavor - currently in the J-tank )
stainless steel "standard resistance" ( I don't know what ohm they are, but judging by the low amount of vapor they produce, I'd say ~3.0 ohm )

I'm using batteries that put out around 3.5 volts.

Can you take the wrapping off? and is it the big or small one? that would mean the difference in xl carto or standard size

I could take the wrapping off. I did it with a dead one earlier, but it leaves a very gummy and sticky residue on the cartomizer's surface. It's a standard size.

There are several how-to videos on Youtube about getting the stickers and glue off of cartos, I've seen people swear by lighter fluid, Goof-off, nail polish remover, vodka, and good old fashioned elbow grease just to name a few.

I'll be using that method. I don't wanna use chemicals to remove it. Well, maybe I'll use force and vodka.

I just wanted to update this thread. I used some rubbing alcohol and an old t-shirt to get the glue off the cartomizer after removing the sticker.

With these Bauway 2.4 ohm cartomizers, this tank is like whoa ! I used a saddle valve to punch 3 small holes in the cartomizer. Every hit is like the first great hit after saturating a cartomizer - huge vapor production and the flavor comes through strong.

I think it's much better than a ViVi Nova and the head on my Nova is 2.4 ohm too, so it's not a matter of resistance. I use 100% VG liquid and I think cartomizer tanks suit VG better than the Nova.
