Constantly topping off new carto?

[bogeyjim]

It seems like I have to top it off just like a cart to keep flavor constant. I get a bunch of vapor for a while but flavor drops off rather quick. This is a brand new carto btw.

Every 10 or so puffs I need to top off. Is this normal?

Thx

This is normal. I don't think much of it, it quickly becomes automatic. Like lighting an analog cigarette. If its not your thing you might try a tank or ce2/ce3 cartomizer

What kind of carto on what voltage device?

 

[Retriever]

Are you buying pre-filled cartos or filling them yourself?

 

[mwa102464]

tank that thing then ya wont have to top off at all

 

[bogeyjim]

Shilo it's a 3.0 boge carto.

And I'm filling them with my own juice. Not pre filled.

I'd like to try a tank but all I hear is stories of tanks leaking. I don't want to mess with that...

I've got a big road trip coming up soon though so I have been kicking around the tank idea....

 

[Shilo]

I'm no expert on tanks as I don't have a device big enough for one and don't have what my favorite juice is down pat yet. At high voltage I think you will be filling it often and might consider one of the better tanks-- I've seen many recommendations here --there was even recently a high caliber tanks thread like a day or two ago with pictures. I don't know if there is a 3 ohms that comes in an XL carto that could hold more juice or not. I do know there is a pretty affordable option at parkes vaping to give the tanks a try.

Wait, so all i need is that acorn tank with a carto in it already and im good to go?

I see replacement cartos for $4 a pop, how long can i expect that carto to last?

Do those acorns leak?

Thanks!

I also find that using boge cartos topping off more to keep flavor up.I now use only DC cartos flavor last longer less topping off,i think the flavor is better also.

 

[Shilo]

You can buy them prepunched or there are threads on this forum for punching your own cartos. I am sure the fans of the parkes tanks will arrive shortly to explain further.

You can punch the holes your self. I use a 1/4" self piercing saddle valve found in the plumbing section at Lowes for like $7. It is cheap and so easy to use.

 

[bogeyjim]

but what kind of carto is in that acorn tank?

doesnt look like a standard boge...

That might be an option for my long road trip ahead... no topping off necessary!

 

[Shilo]

Looks like the ten dollar acorn tank is for regular sized cartomizers for 2.8-3 ohms.

Or maybe the Chibi....lol

Shilo, too many options!! But naturally, Im about to click that link

 

[bogeyjim]

Haha, ok chibi it is! Because the pre tapped carts are only 2.50.

Do these leak much??

I guess i need a syringe to fill, is that a PITA?

Here's the chibi fan!!! I love my chibi tank! I originally bought the $8 xl chibi with the 1.7 carto but now I punch my own cartos with a hammer and nail. I too was constantly topping off cartos, too much like dripping. This is wonderful! I can fill once every day or two and see exactly how much juice is left. I waited quite a while because they were so expensive but for $8 it's a no brainer and I can't imagine the more expensive one work any better. It does take a bit of practice learning how to fill them and set the seal properly. Just read through the chibi threads on here.. watch the videos on how to assemble and fill it. It's easy!

I have a chibi-type tank. And very poor eyesight.

I use a dental tool (but anything slim will work, jeweler's screwdriver, or such) and pull up the edge of the gasket, squirt in juice, reseal it well.
Works for me.
I was taking off chips using a syringe not quite being able to see if I was going thru the actual gasket or near it.

I do use a bottle with a needle top to get it in a small area, but it's blunt, not sharp like a needle.
