Should be toward the end of next week. Emails will go out to everyone who does the notify.

I really feel bad about misjudging this as I know folks count on us. We just got hit quite a bit harder than I thought we would right before the Chinese Holiday.


Don't sweat it sir. Most of us that have been through the "New Years Drought" the last few years overstock just in case beforehand. My first one was a real eye opener. I was completely caught off guard and promised myself to not repeat the experience. Enjoy the day!:2cool:

We dont place any limits jemo other than stock on hand. The 10% discount kicks in on 10 or more then from there we ship whatever we can.

Willy, thats the thing to do when you find what you like. Also reorder before you get down to the last one so you can wait out any delays.

Good to know! Thanks!

Hey Jemo, no problems at all with questions. We have considered it but that is something that we would not move into without proper facilities for production. I am a big DiY fan and we have quite a few recipes that we really like, without cleanroom and proper bottling/labeling space though it just isnt something we would consider getting into.

Am pretty new to vaping (and even newer to cartotanks).

When I got my first IBTanked (19mm, XL) I just sorta' guessed at the carto (Ω) to choose.

Now that I'll be heading back for my next one I figure I could be a little "smarter" at carto choice...so...

I love my iTaste VV V3's. I can adjust the Voltage from 3.3V to 5.0V and the Wattage from 6.0W to 11.0W.

Of your 3 XL cartos (1.7Ω, 2.0Ω, 3.2Ω)...which would be the "best" (ie. most flexible) for me to use on my VV's?

Hi gerry, it sort of depends on how you vape and what you want from it. For those who are after the super warm LR is the way to help you get there. Having VV you want to find what works somewhere off of both ends so you have a little room to go up or down from there. I use the 3.2ohm single coils pretty much exclusively other than on some tiny eGo battery setups on which I use the 2.0 (we dont have to 1.7 in punched so if you use those from us you will have to punch them)

With a 3.2 I am around 4V on the Provari or around 8W on a SiD or Zmax and down at the bottom on DNA devices. I think this has to do with efficiency of the devices themselves.

This is why we usually point folks to SR or the 3.2ohm if they have a variable device and the LR or 2.0ohm for a straight battery device.

Unfortunately we are currently out of the 3.2ohm and both Standard and XL but are hopeful they will be back in stock by the end of next week.

I couldn't get thru the first 3 pages without busting out laughing.

I have been fiddling with my Thingy on a 19mm standard for about a week and already ordered a second tank setup. (Also 19mm standard). After months (and more money than I care to admit) spent in clearo land, I finally found what I like... carto tanks from Ibtanked. A 2nd order was placed yesterday, shipped today. Not to mention a couple flared beauty rings to join the 19mm tanks.

IMHO, the 19mm standard holds a shockingly large amount... feels like more than 1.5 ml + ~0.8 ml for the carto.

Anyway, great product and I'll definitely be fiddling with my Thingy regularly...

You'll probably also be answering my questions about best way to remove the caps for when I eventually check out an XL.

Hey Brook, glad to hear you get our sense of humor... it isnt for everyone I suppose and I kind of take a chance with it but dang if it doesnt seem that a high percentage of those who like carto tanks also like to fiddle their thingies ;)

The capacity really goes along with what you use in a day, this can range wildly just like everyones taste for flavors from 1ml or even less to 10mls or more. Thats why some folks like bigger tanks and some are good with the Tiny Tanks. I like the 22mm STD myself the most because that is just about what my daily is. I will usually have a Standard or HalfLing Tiny Tank with my contrast flavor around and go to it from time to time through the day.

Anyhow, great to hear its working well for you.

I'm sure I'll get there. The main reason I got the additional tank setup was because I wanted to try another flavor on it without having to worry about the carto. With the clearos, I would regularly switch flavors pretty quickly with only a light cleaning and the flavor wouldn't be too affected after the first few minutes. From what I hear about cartos, not so much the case. That said, the flavor on a fresh clear atty doesn't compare to the carto flavor in my opinion. I'm definitely going to be making the transition, to more and more of these so I can have my usual multiple flavor rotation.

I like my Extreme Ice/Banana/Blue Raz cotton candy/Riptide (or Hawk Sauce) rotations. Much like everything else, I have ADD with my flavors.

I'm on my (1st) IBTanked 19 mm XL with your Smok 2.0 Ω Single Coil cartomizers.

I use your "Refilling Drip Tip" for refilling.

I can only go 4-5 days (4-6 refills) before it starts gurgling and juice starts dripping out of the cartomizer end. If I then put in a new cartomizer (and use the thingy) everything gets back to its normal GREAT.

Am I doing something wrong...or is it normal for cartomizers to only last 4-6 refills?

With a clear eLiquid I usually get 20 to 30mls which would be more like 10 or more refills on that size tank at the low end. Darker liquids will tend to clog things up quicker. The gurgling or running wet kind of comes along as a cartomizer ages sometimes but you can limit it to some extent by taking long slow draws to clear it back up. Something else you can do is using the long refilling drip tip slide the tank up above the holes and vape it awhile like that. This will use up the liquid in the cartomizer without adding any new to dry it up. Just dont lay it down like that as the top wont be sealed. Once you get it dried out some see if it lasts you several more tanks.

Wish I could just tell you the secret but honestly there isnt any. Every person does things differently and with different liquids so what works for one doesnt for the next so I can just offer ideas to try to help you find that happy place for yourself.
