Do you use the carts with your attys?

[tj99959]

Look at his link again, it clearly states tank. So he either posted a wrong link, or has no clue what so ever!
A cartridge works with a 510.
A tank only works with a 510-T

I would also point out that there are an abundance of sites with rebanded products that also have no clue.
Stick to the vendors that have a page on here, and you will avoid a lot of BS, and misinformation.

My ears were burning

I think what we've got here is just a matter of semantics. What I was referring to in the other thread are "tank cartridges" that fit a standard 510 atty. "Tank" is also commonly used to refer specifically to tanks used with a 510-T (which entirely different than a standard 510). However, just because something is a "tank" does not necessarily mean it's for the 510-T.

510-T Tank Cartridge

Standard 510 Tank Cartridge (this is what I linked to)

So, no that wasn't a wrong link. I may not have a clue what I'm talking about, though (wouldn't be the first time). I'll let you guys be the judge of that...

That's what I thought I read. You are using the clear tank carts you linked with regular Joye 510 attys, right? I was thinking about getting some of those 'tank carts'.

 

[goodtimes]

That's correct. Just make sure you get some blue foam. The wicking material that comes with the tank carts is good for maybe one use and then it starts to fall apart.

Thanks. I have enough blue foam for the rest of my life, use it in standard carts now.

ok, speaking chinese!!!

It's not that complicated, Laura. You need 3 basic components for vaping. Juice can be directly dripped into atty or fed from a cart, carto or tank, think I read some mods can even use a bottle. The atty for carts (dripping) is made differently than the atty for tanks, so two must be paired correctly. Cartos have built in attys. High, standard and low resistance refers to how easily atty coils heat up and how much electricity it use. Finally, batts supply the electricity at different duration (mAhs) and levels (volts). All the makes and models make it sound more complicated.

Chinese is much harder...trust me.

Then their so called "tank cart" is nothing more than this:

The problem with the stock filler is that the top of the filler will get dry when the cart is still half full of juice. That's why you will see so many cart mods out there.
I have tried many cart mods (PTB, ZFM, blue foam, white foam, spring, straw, etc, etc) and they all have their issues.

Here's what I do that works like a charm (for me). Pull out the cart filler and cut about 2/3 of the length off of it. You should be left with a piece that is about a quarter to a half inch long. Now fill your cart most of the way up with juice (leave it about a quarter inch from the top). Then stick the little piece of filler that you cut right on top and gently push it in until it's flush with the rim of the cart.

This method will not only allow you to get more juice in the cart, but that little piece of filler will stay soaked until the cart is completely dry.

You can make your own for free using the empty cart that comes with the atty, and a small piece of foam.

Only problem is that the idea is ... so .... 20th century

That may be, but the little cup that holds the foam probably holds it in place a little better (see pic below - ignore the red arrow). Either way, whether they're from the 20th or 15th century, they work very well with minimal fuss.

Whatever works is good. I think these clear tank carts are twice as big as the stock carts, so at least they hold more juice, about a ml? I can only squeeze 10-12 drops into a stock cart.

Edit: yes, tj, bottom feeders, thanks. You and I still wear glasses and they're 18th Century, but they work.

But other things work better. I have interocular implants inside my 70 year old eyes, and only use reading glasses for close stuff.
And, you will find that these tanks work far better than those (this 21st century stuff really is better)
Holds 3ml of juice instead of just 1.

 

[JustaGuy]

Ah, tj, your avatar/pic fooled me! Thought you wear them all the time like I do.

Of course a real tank holds more than a creative tank, but the smaller things do make switching flavors easier. I can get tired of a flavors after 1 ml and go to another of my 10-15 carts, switch back and forth. You can switch your tanks of course. Would you believe my career was actually in computers (programmer), but I don't always live by technology. To some degree, I think hardware is like juice, "better" is subjective.

That's one of the big upsides to the tank carts, IMO. I really like the idea of the Liquinator-type tanks and will likely be buying one in the near future, but I can't afford to have 10-15 of them loaded up and ready to go with different flavors.

 

[hairball]

Throw the carts in the trash. Get yourself a drip tip and have at it. I always tasted plastic when using carts and quickly tossed them.

I just use cartos for that. In fact I am sitting here vaping on three different cartos right now.
One on a SB (3.7), another on an eGo (3.4), and the third on a 5v pass through. All three with a different flavor, and all three at the voltage where that flavor vapes best.

creative tank

ROFLMAO

What a creative way to use an adjective to describe an antique

I concur! Different people are looking for different things in their hardware...that's why it exists. Whether 20th century or not, if it works for you DO IT! To say that anything is 20th century in this new vaping arena is a silly statement, IMHO! Everything is new when compared to smoking analogs.

 

[JustaGuy]

Laura, I was just reading a thread where people try various ways to get the taste of a juice out of their cartos to reuse, one reason I thought attys/carts were simpler, very little work for me. If cartos were much cheaper, I would use each once or twice and throw away, prefilled cartos even better so no refilling.

 

[LauraBolyard]

Agreed. I've been looking for a way to not lose so much juice, as I said, my dcc's, although I love them, waste too much juice when they start to 'go'. I keep them very wet, topping off at the 6 drop till full point, so when it starts to taste or perform badly I'm losing a couple ml at a time. That REALLY P's me off if it's the last couple ml of a favorite juice!!
Today I tried my first clearo, it's an older model that I got on a trade. Once I got through the initial learning curve, not bad, but not as good. No wasted juice though! I'm beginning to think that I just like stuffing in my cartos! I hope not!!

I read some older clearos crack, but don't take my word for it. Hope you have luck with yours. I never met the DCC in person, but if it's the stuffing/filling that's robbing you of juice, can you perform "open carto surgery" and wring the juice out of the dead carto's stuffing? 2 mls is half my day's ration.

I kind of like the flavor of VG, like vaping palm oil, so maybe the stuffing adds to the bouquet?

 

[LauraBolyard]

I thought about the surgery! I may try that! Hate to waste good juice! One of them was recently cleaned, so the 2 ml of juice will be clean too! It just wasn't pulling well
