I got my girlfriend two evods, so she doesn't use my carto tanks. I don't know if I've just used cartomizers long enough, but the head being able to wobble every so slightly is irritating as hell. I really don't see why it's recommended so highly. She's still stealing my tanks and barely using hers.. At least I reconfirmed I personally hate clearomizers, bottom coils especially. I'm interested in the iclear 30s..

Head wobbling???? Really? :blink:

I own every single clearo and tank from the Kanger BCC lineup and nothing ever wobbled.

Well, pay day has been and gone, and with over £100 spend on a vision spinner, cartos, clearos and juices i think im going to be calling it quits for a while lmao! got to be said, having tried the eVod, the CE5's and Boge Cartos, im leaning more towards cartos! i am genuinely hooked on the damn things, which is a shame as I have a V Core 2.0 Tank arriving tomorrow! If nothing else it has a nice King Kong drip tip with it lol

I did but an atty for dripping, but within about 20 mins of fiddling with it - i tried de-bridging it, rather unsuccessfully, its made its way into the bin...........oh well, i'll just have to buy a decent one next time i have the spare money lol - any suggestions?

im a sucker for any new gadget, and when I get into something, so does my bank account lmao! it was the same with mobile phones, mp3 players, pcs, my guitar, my chef equipment, my paranormal investigating gear...........the list goes on! but this, this is an investment thats worth it! hell, im still gonna be keeping my CE5's, see the how the Evod works out, maybe get a couple more, get a couple of pro tanks....I'm a sucker for buying things, and worse keeping the stuff ive replaced lol in my experience, its always handy to keep the old stuff as back ups! will definitely be investing in a spinner, probably in january (sale time!!!)

Guitar? As in just one? Really? Slacker! :p

I'm a bassist, not even a guitar player and have a Strat, Les Paul knockoff, Epiphone acoustic, Dobro, Epiphone Flamekat, Tele, and a couple of old Tiescos as well as some more guitars that haven't been out of the equipment closet in a few years.

Don't get me started on the bass arsenal!

Just wait until you get into mods and RBAs...

I thought I would post this question in this thread since it's related. After reading all 14 pages of this thread I've decided I want to try a carto tank with the cartomizer cartridges. Right now I'm using a itaste vv/vw v3.0 and like it. I have a Kanger unitank, protank II and a Hypertank 5ml BCC Glass Clearomizer on the way. I like the idea of them all being able to use the same coil heads. They seem to work well and are easy to use. I do however have an ongoing issue with vaping outside in the cold, not that cold, around 10c and below ( 50F?). The vapes are dry and ranchy. The juice is not getting up into the wick and to the coil. If I hold the tank in my hand constantly to keep it warm it helps, but it's a pain. So the idea of the cartomizer cartridges in the tank might be an improvement. Maybe the juice can get into the filler and work better.

So I'm looking for suggestions on a good tank. I'm looking at the Boge F16 but was looking for something that might look a bit better ( I know it doesn't matter as long as it performs well). As well, even with the Boge I'm not sure which cartridges to use with which tank. 35mm 45mm? Flanged non flanged? Pre punched, punch my own? Picking the tank is one thing but they don't always tell you what size cartimizer you need with it and if they require flanged or not, and punched or not. Any suggestions? Also the tank I'm looking for must be glass.

As far as my guitars go ive got a crafter semi acoustic and a squire strat affinity with a custom brushed aluminum scratch plate, but not that good a player so hardly worth blowing more money on them lol


Anyway, back to the topic at hand, DaMann, i also had problems with the temperatures i was using my clearos in - kept my pv in my pocket while standing in front of a 250+ degree c grill, made them leak.....a lot.... But cartos kick ...! Ive got a tank that i bought from VapeEscape, 35mm, came with a single prepunched flanged carto.....dont use it at the moment as my only driptip is crap! Its a chrome skull one from VE and its just too airy and loose, but either way, its my understanding that the cartos dont need to be flanged or prepunched, the flange just stops the carto from pushing too far into the tank, and you can buy a punch for them and just buy normal cartos - this gives you the option of using them as they are or with a tank! Until i get a new driptip (lost the one that came with the tank) im using the cartos as they are with the crappy rubber "bung" type mouthpieces!

Hope this has been some help :s
