Cartomizers versus Tanks? Ok now what?

[jamm3r]

Ok, I'm swearing by the Vivi Nova at the moment but have purchased a large array of flavors and want to use this as an opportunity to open up my vaping experience. To give you the history,

- I started with the EGO-T dripping, but didn't like dripping because the flavor wasn't all that to me.
- I then got the EGO-C tank, loved the flavor, but had to quit because all the leaking. I tried replacing the soft caps, but that didn't work
- I moved to the DCT that had a bottom fed cartomizer and was not happy with the flavor. I don't think I ever really got the hang of the cotton mesh that was in the tanks and felt that I was getting an airy nasty flavor that had that cotton mesh flavor offsetting the total flavor.
- I've been using the Vivi Nova for a long time, and although there is a bit of learning, I've got it to where there is no leaking and the flavor is the best out of all I have tried.

Now that I'm a bit of a veteran, I want to circle back around and make sure I'm not missing out. I can't try the Penelope just because they aren't ever available. I have gotten the Vivi Tank Rebuildable, and hope one day to mod that into an SS Mesh so I can at least try what an SS Mesh is like. I've heard the HH.357 is great, but its for dripping and I prefer to be able to carry around my juice and vape without having to refill so often.

So where should I go? At this time, willing to go back to or try anything (links are appreciated) and in stock is a plus. Here are my key interests (i) no dripping, or constant refilling, maybe lasting a day (ii) best preservation of vapor (iii) no leaking

Have you tried a clearomizer like stardust or vision? They seem easy to use for me but I am too new to this to compare flavor.

I think you should stick with the nova for now. I've tried clearos and they're good, but not as big as the nova. Novas are relatively inexpensive and IMO produce good flavor and vapor. I also have a Texas tuff tank from vapedudes I like. It's a polypro side fill that uses a boge carto. Clouds of vapor and good flavor.

Sounds like your next step is going to be rebuildable genesis type atomizers.

honestly get a good tank i have many and one i really enjoy is a vpx cartomator with boge cartos. i mean the flavour is great and and barely have to fill. you just gotta know how to use cartos right. when you first fill them dont overfill them like crazy and when punching holes unless you are going to buy prepunched ones. dont make the holes to big better to have liek 2-3 small holes then one big one. The Cartomator you live in the states so even better for you 20$ for a awesome tank.

I've had good experience with the VV Poly tanks. They are extremely inexpensive so there is a very low risk in trying them. I abandoned the Ego C because of the overheating of the atomizer after a few quick hits. I have three of the tanks and have two friends with one each and there have been no leaks. They will even provide a pre-punched and tested Boge cato and tip pre-installed. Haven't had to replace the carto in over a month. This tank with a 510 1000 mAh twist is my go to vaper. Be carefull when filling them so that you don't drive fluid into the carto instead of air. Move the fill port to the bottom end near the carto holes and hold it upside down when filling. This will keep the air going into the carto holes instead of fluid. First post on this forum BTW. Nice place.
