My newest PV accessory is the DCT MAP tank purchased from e-cig city in Laguna Beach, CA. Amazing store by the way. I live over an hour away and its still worth the drive from time to time.
But back to the topic at hand. The DCT MAP tank is very similar to the very popular tank-o-matic liquinator which has been the top thread in this sub forum for quite some time now. It is a crystal clear lexan tank with delrin caps (also available in stainless steel from e-cig city, but not posted on the website last time i looked) enclosing a smok-tech dual coil cartomizer. One difference i noticed is that this tank uses punched cartomizers instead of slotted ones. It also has clean looking beveled edges on the caps. Personally i prefer the look of the DCT.
So far i havent encountered any leaking through the top or bottom seals. New cartos are not hard to install, but not too easy either. This ensures that the tank wont slide off the carto unless you want it to. refilling is easy using a bottle or a syringe. It holds about 3 ml plus 30-40 drops in the carto.
I was a little bit concerned when i saw the cartomizers only had small holes punched instead of the liquinators big slots, but in retropect this is a good thing. More about that later. This thing has wicked very well for the week or so that ive had it. ive put 3 different juices of different thicknesses through it so far and have not encountered any burning at all.
The most impressive thing about this device is that it holds up to my favorite juice, which has been known to be deadly to all cartomizers it enters. Backwoods Brew Vanilla Bean is a dark liquid which kills most cartos in a single day... if you're lucky. sometimes even less than that. But its so good that i keep vaping it anyway. In this tank i can actually get a full 6ml or so through it before the taste changes. i know that sounds bad, but it is amazing for this liquid, far surpassing all other cartos. Consider it a torture test in which it scores the highest marks so far. After that i have managed to clean the punched carto back to almost new condition because the tank wicks well enough to prevent the kind of burning that permanently wrecks a carto.
I did have one incident where i thought the top of the carto began to look dry. ( it still tasted fine and its nothing to worry about as long as the top coil is wet) I tried a few hard primer puffs to get the juice to wick up to the top. Do not do this. Its like drinking juice through a straw. Learn from my mistake it will wick well enough on its own.
I havent tried the liquinator so i cant comment on it, but this is the best cartomizer solution i have tried so far. Im sure that the liquinator works similarly. Despite the slight hiccup that was my own mistake i cant recommend this thing enough. seriously 10 out of 10.
P.S. is there a secret to posting pictures? does it require a certain post count? Im a new forum member and i cant seem to get them to upload properly
