Cartomizer tanks... I love them, but I hate them. Grr..

[iKN0WaGH0ST]

Long story short. First tank was a Smoketek DCT tank. Loved it at first because of the simplicity to fill, but ended up retiring it a week after its use because of 2 juice spills due to the tank seperating.

Second and current tank is a JTank. Love it because I don't have to worry about the tank seperating on me, and that I can screw the tank on while holding the tank without excessive spinning. But I hate it because its way too hard to slide the carto up and down when filling. I've also (girlfriend as well) developed a leaking issue, despite lubing the orings whenever I swap cartos, filling, etc.

I need to find the right tank for me. I need the perfect mix between these two tanks. I would like the cartomizer to be somewhat easy to move when it comes to filling, but not slippy that I have to worry about it slidding completely off the cartomizer and into my pocket. I also don't want to worry about the tank caps slipping off, seperating the tank in my pocket (even though I may be quite used to it by now). I wish I could get myself to like the M1A1, but that screw just kills the aesthetics in my eyes, and I know I will not be able to bring myself to like it.

You could change out the screw in the M1A1 with any stainless steel screw that will fit. You may need a tool to remove it, but for occasional fills it shouldn't be a problem. I thought about ordering one because I like the light weight of the aluminum caps but I too don't like the big screw head sticking out.

I actually like the look of the screw on my M1A1. If I could change anything about it, I would change the color of the screw from black to red and it would be even more awesome looking.

The Lavatank from JonboyUSMC. Easy to fill, doesn't leak, and looks amazing.

Did you have any taste issues with your DCT tank? I just got one for the first time, and ALL i am tasting is plastic.

Thanks for the responses guys. Im looking for alternatives to the m1a1 though. As for the lavatank, I tried my luck with the last sale but no dice.

Never had taste issues with the dct, but I did have bad flooding issues. And I can buy boges for less than half as much as dc cartos. Try swapping your cartos and see if that helps.

I own a M1A1 & have grown to really like the screw hole because they are so easy to fill & refill. I also have a SS Dct Map tank I got from clouds of vapor that is rock solid & sits really really tight on the carto. Once it's on it's not going anywhere. I feel fine carrying mine in my pocket & haven't had any problems. You can also get them at mostangryindustries but he's out of stock.

I'm not sure about the one at mostangry but the one from cov comes with a nice stainless drip tip & a carto.

Not looking for a dct, although those look very very nice.

Thanks for your suggestions though! I really appreciate it =]

Take a look at the ACTv4s.

They have an awesome design and are rock solid and super easy to refill.

I love my ACTv3 so far!

 

[iKN0WaGH0ST]

Why do I have to be so lucky?! I don't like the solid stainless tank, but that actv3 is something I'd definitely consider! But of course its discontinued. Does anyone think a cartomator will satisfy my overwhelming standards?
