The complete tanks comes with a refilling drip tip we have been discussing above and a cartomizer so it is ready to use. Lube the orings with a qtip and insert the cartomizer with the refilling tool on it. Make sure you back up the cap away from the end you are pushing from when either inserting the carto or lowering for filling.

I would do a practice run on putting the carto in and lowering then reseating it so you are familiar before filling, seems a few folks have had to wipe up their elbow as part of the lesson plan :D

Fill the carto by squeezing the liquid in the gap between the drip tip and cap while the carto is lowered then slide the carto up into place and remove the refilling tip. Now drop the full tank into the thingy and put the lid on, you will see some air bubbles, remove the lid and replace it 10 to 20 times until about a quarter of the tank is gone. Now with it on the battery use short button presses while drawing to make sure the coil is wet, when you taste the flavor and are getting vapor you will know. Use some longer presses on the power button a few more times to really get it going good then vape away.

Getting the carto primed and started out correctly is critical. You dont want to burn it from no liquid on the coil, once its wet and as long as it stays wet it should last a week or two and all you have to do is keep filling the tank up when it gets low.

Sorry but we are about out of cartos so I dont have them available other than for with the complete tanks until we get more in. I usually send folks to Hoosier ecig supply when we are out, they dont carry the exect same ones we use but you can get a 3ohm two hole there. Hopefully we will be getting our cartos in soon. We had one shipment that ended up being the wrong ones and are trying to sort that out now, we really liked these though so certainly we want to get more of them.

OH MY.. this is already scary. Pfft... I'll figure it out or burn it up, I guess. I'll order extra cartos from somewhere just in case!

OK.. printed the lesson. Lube the orings w/ what?

As to ohms... 2.0 or 3.0 w/ a 3.7V battery? And 1 or 2 holes punched?

I was not kidding when I said I do NOT know what I'm doing. But I DO KNOW that I'm not going to figure it out unless I punt and buy something and give it a go.

The 2.0 should be fine or 1.7 if you can find them. Lube with juice.

THANK YOU! And I need flanged cartos, right? Recommendation as to where to buy good ones? Never bought these b4.

They don't have to be flanged. In less expensive tanks the carto can fit loosely and the flange will keep it from pulling through the tank. With these there aren't much danger of that. If you get the standard tank then you need standard cartos. If you get the xl tank you will need xl cartos (these are longer). Here is a link to 1.7 that should work for you. http://www................../F-16-Carto_p_124.html. Those ones are xl size.

Google Hoosiervapes. Then look under cartos then punched. Those are standard size cartos. They have 2.0 with one or two holes. If you use a heavy vg juice then you probably want 2 holes. If your juice is 60% or higher pg then a single hole will probably be good. If you're not sure then order some of each to see which you prefer. It really comes down to personal preference.

I would not reccomend that site. Theres a reason why their links do not work here ;) Try Hoosier Ecig similar name but not the same folks for sure.

They have an assortment of resistance and number of holes, I would pick up a few different ones. My preference is the single coil and as BluGen noted the lower ohm is probably best with the eGo battery. The 3.2ohm that comes with the tank will work but will probably seem under powered.

It's so annoying when vendors do that. When I first started vaping, I ended up buying juice from a different vendor than was recommended because the name was one letter different. The juice was sort of okay though.

Well, either I am an idiot, or I am using the wrong browser... when ordering a standard tank, how does one select 2 colors from the drop down menu for a swirl? :confused: It's only letting me choose 1 color.
Or can I not create a custom swirl not already shown in the drop down?

OH... NVM... "note them in checkout". AH-HA. Read, woman, read.

I could be wrong, but I think if it's not in the drop down menu it isn't currently available.

She found it Ocelot, there is a pick a color option but you have to leave a note in the checkout notes field for the color(s) We couldnt possibly list all of the options once you start mixing colors so the girls just did up a few for picture/menu so folks can see what they look like.

We have a big wholesale order going to China with over 100 different styles in it ;)

Natasha, the carnival tubes will possibly be back up in the next two weeks. I am finally beginning to get a little ahead on inventory of glass which means the girls can stock more of the colored tubes. The painted caps will not be back but the acrylic should be getting real close too. All of these may be in limited numbers to start with but I will do what I can to keep them in stock once we do list them back up.

Lol on the other comments folks, yes we thought it was pretty dang cool too. We are hoping this turns into a good relationship that will carry our brand over there. We send big wholesale orders all over the world but this one took us by surprise.
