Clearo/Carto Question

[GinAndJewce]

Hey guys,

So i currently have a protank which i generally enjoy a lot, but i keep seeing pics n threads of higher end mods n most people seem to use cartos on there and am wondering if they are a lot better or just a different preferential experience. Im trying to get even more flavor than what the protank gives me, ps im using a vv ego right now but im gonna upgrade to an apv shortly, still deciding which one to get

thx in advance i love this place

Hi

I started using carto tanks before I even got a Twist, since my favorite juice melts clearos. I prefer using cartos in tanks, so I don't have to keep topping them off. I use Protanks on the go because they are easy, but, for me, the flavor has never been even close to a carto tank.

What voltage and ohm of your coils? You can name a gazillion tanks or carto's or whatever....but without the important is the resistance and voltage which will give us a hint to wattage

I am running a Totally Wicked Tornado RCS, coil is 2.4Ω and regulated 3.7vdc...it does come with a 1.8Ω which means higher heat thus more vapor (but there are other things to take into account like PG/VG ratio and thickness of juice, heck even temperature of juice)

the coil is 2.2 and depending on which juice i have i use almost the whole 3.2-4.8 range save 3.2 and 4.8 themselves actually (dunno one is way to much the other is...well way too little hehe). typically im hovering around 4-4.4v

Personally, I don't like cartos on their own. Too much topping off to keep the poly flavor away. But, in a tank I love them. Consistent hits with lots of flavor. I have a Protank and almost never use it. Too little flavor in comparison. There's a bit of a learning curve to carto tanks, but it's not bad and well worth the effort. Look up Baditude's blogs, he goes over all you'll need to know.

thank u, n just to clarify i meant cartotanks sorry. i keep looking up ones people talk about on here, peeped the ibtanked those looks tight. but ya i just wanna make sure cartotanks r the way to go if i want more flavor n dont mind carrying 5ml of liquid with me haha. i like the protank cuz its easy and small i can leave it in my pocket when im working its chill

I only have tanks from IBTanked. They come with a Thingy (the container the tank ships in) which I use to prime my fresh cartos. They call it, "Fiddling your Thingy." OCD (owns IBTanked with his family) started this thread about fiddling your thingy. IT's also a good place to go to ask questions about their product. I highly recommend their tanks.

I use mine out and about all the time. I carry a couple so I don't have to worry about refilling while I'm out. And, they are pocket friendly. I've yet to have one leak.

Have have IBTanks too, but no patience for fiddling. I've tried it a few times, but got bored long before the carto was primed. Although, I have the attention span of a guppy, so YMMV.

Agree with all the above. The Thingy makes prepping cartos quick and effortless, and their tank filling tool/drip tip makes refilling a snap. I've used CE4s, Evods, Vivi Nova and Smoktech DCT, but prefer the IBTanked to all of them. So much so that I just ordered two more of them, bringing my total up to 5 of their tanks. As AmishEd said, they don't leak, hold plenty of juice (depending on which size you buy) and are very sturdy.

again thank u for the responses, ya like i said iv been lookin at those they seem really legit, i think i want a smaller one like the 19mm i think it is, which carto's do u recommend? i keep hearing boge a lot but i kno there r smoktech n others, any reco's/preferences? iv been watching videos on cartos n they dont seem much harder to fill or work, mayb a few extras steps

 

[The Ocelot]

A less expensive route is Valley View Vapes. I've been using one of their polypro economy tanks for almost a year. It's not the prettiest on the market and it takes some practice to put in new cartos (it uses grommets, instead of caps), but it's a workhorse and has a side-fill screw.

I like Smoktech (a.k.a. Smok) the best.

There are many different ways to fill cartos (I'm always experimenting), but I have a blog about one way to fill them, if you are interested:

After reading this, I might order a cheap cartotank or two from fasttech - up until now I've been using a Kanger T3 and a Vivi Nova (both clearomizers) but I'm starting to get curious about them.
