Ok I'm the first to admit that I don't know everything. How many carto/tank users keep a large supply of cartos on hand. I was kinda wondering about what I should keep handy. Right now I've got 7 SR and 9 LR carto's. Got a few more ordered but was thinking how many is a safe number. Yea I admit that I'm one that wants backups for backups for backups....................OCD kicking in.

i keep about a months supply readily on hand. ive got 2 carto tanks and 4 novas. ive got about 20 nova heads (9 are brand new, 2 are rebuilt, and the rest are used but still tip top). i dont expect my supply of nava heads to decrease because ive got rebuilding material.

for my two carto tanks, ive got 6 reg lenght cartos for my reg lenght tank and 6 XL cartos for the XL length tank. all are 1.7ohm smoktechs, but i'll be getting SR boges next time around. i only use about 1 or 2 cartos per week bc most of my vaping is done with novas.

when im not tanking it, im dripping or bottom-feeding. stand-alone cartos have fallen by the wayside for me (with the exeption of EMDCCs. those puppies are great and theyre basically a tank with filler inside. surevapes has a great price on those as well).

I go through a carto a day at least.. but I have 12 tanks all with different flavors that I rotate through out the day. So I keep 4 boxes of each SR/LR Boge's around. The local vape shop is only 10 minutes away so if I get down to a box I go get more. I would not mind ordering them online since these things are about .60 cents online and I pay $1.50 each local... Time to move on to a rebuildable!

I also rotate through about a dozen tanks, each with their own flavor. Obviously, the ones with the more favored flavors will get used the most, and need carto changes more frequently than the others. My only issue is, and I'm not complaining, is before I got the Provari, I was using 2.0 ohm cartos exclussively for my two 3.7v mods (a Silver Bullet and BB). But I am loving variable voltage so much, the Provari, which I'm loading with 3.0 ohm cartos, is getting at least 90% of my vaping attention. I'm progressively changing out all the 2.0 ohm cartos to 3.0 ohms for usage with the vv APV.

I had to buy a small hobby storage organizer with pull out drawers just to separate and organize just my cartos. 2.0 ohm single coils with one and two hole pre-punched. 3.0 ohm single coils with one and two hole pre-punched. A few 2.0 ohm Boge cartos I keep around for the couple of shorty tanks that I own.

Even though I had maybe a dozen Smoktek cartos already, I'd been wanting to try out some Ikenvape Platinum cartos for a long time, but they have been out of stock for a long time. When I got a tip recently that they were back in stock, I ordered a dozen of them.

how do you like the Ikenvape Platinums, Bad? are those like the Fusions? i haven ttried either and im trying to figure out if id like either.
I am expecting their delivery any day now, I got confirmation of shipment a couple of days ago. I've also heard good things about the Fusions, too. I looked at them on the website, but they are 801. I assume that means the threading. I wasn't keen on needing to buy an adaptor in order to give them a trial, and just went with a batch of the punched mega Platinums. I'll report back after a couple of tankfuls use of them.
