What goes around comes around. One of these days you younguns will be walking thru an antique mall (if they still have them) pointing and saying, "I remember those". But that kind of describes my trips to the back of my vaping cabinet.

This does seem like a "new and improved" cartotank. But I learned long ago, new and improved usually isn't.

I haven't used a cartomizer in a long time and I don't miss them since moving to rebuildables. But I love the By Leo Sophia RTA and I've actually purchased a handful of very nice Greek-made cartomizer tanks to use them with this year (GP SnP, By Leo Cage, and Atmomixani Loki). Say what you will about cartomizer tanks - I'm in my own personal vaping heaven.

Yep that's a Carto tank :) I was thinking that too, the T18 tank I have the coil looks like a Carto riddled with holes, it lasts a long time, over a month. But really reminds me of a Carto tank too.
Does anyone know if the T18 coil can be used in a carto tank as a carto alternative?

I think it would and I may try it, the difference is the T18 coil has holes up near the top so it won't stick out very far at top like a regular Carto did. It might even work in an old style Smok Vivi tank, I was checking size and it just may fit :) Haven't tried yet but I luv these T18 coils, they work much better than regular Cartos in a tank.

    I'd too ascared of trying the T18. I recently tried a deviation of the 2 small holes in my tank and it pointed out that it was not acceptable. 24 holes blow my mind. It's stuffed with wicking tho, right?
    I have been trying out the Boge fillerless RBN's out and will probably try their sub-ohm (Ni?) ones out soon also.
    I do wish for more than a standard carto provides, but as the sun sets, I'm content as is.

    Yes it has a bunch of cotton in it, like really long cotton tails off the two coils inside. Not sure it is rewickable but if it was would last a very long time. Coils I have now are over a month old :) no flooding just nice vape.

    i for one miss the carto tanks. it was the most hassle free for me, ikenvape's never worked for me, i only had luck with ibtanks smok cartos... but they stopped selling them. And i've been struggling ever since to find a good system to work for me :(
    You would probably love the T18 tanks and these coils, reminds me of a Carto tank but way better :) I stocked up on a bunch of the coils and the T18 tank works on other mods, the coils are 1.5 ohm
