So if anyone read my couple of threads when I first joined I bought a Kgo and used that for a bit and recently found a e-cig shop near me and bought a Ego-C Twist and am liking it. I also got 3 kranger(sp?) T1 tanks is what I think they are and they are working decently. A problem I have is it doesn't seem to want to have a happy place when I tighten it down. I can either screw it till it stops and it's hard to suck air or somewhat almost all the way and it has a slight wiggle. I really wanted to get a tank with carto in it? And a setup for dripping. Now that 'tanks' kranger things are only 1.8 and I think I want something higher ohm and they didn't have that at the shop :(. I also found some jucies I finally like after order ALOT from mrvape and some from hooiser(didn't like those at all), one I got are e-cig gallery flavors and pink spot. Anyway, can someone link me to a dripping setup and a tank with carto. I like the idea of the coil being on the bottom so wicks don't have to pulll the juice up.

Sorry for the wall-o-text and messy ness of it. Thanks!

For tanks I recommend the Phiniac which has generally the tightest grip on the carto so you don't have a juicesplosion incident. For the cartomizers within I recommend the Boge LR 2.0 or the Boge 3.0 SR (depending on your favored voltage/wattage). What I don't recommend is any tank that fits dual coils because a dual coil on a low amperage device such as the eGo-C Twist is just not gonna happen properly. Go single coil. Make sure you know what type of carto size will fit your tank before you hit buy.

For a drip setup there are many ways to go. 306LR, 510, HH357, adapters, drip shields. The choice is yours. It's a whole different world. A decent place to start is the 306LR but it requires its own drip tip (since 510 drip tips are not compatible with a 306LR even though the 306LR does use the 510 connection - the drip tip fits around the atomizer, not in it). Get a couple 306LRs to try out and one 306 drip tip (around 5 bucks a piece) and then debridge them (be careful you can ruin them if you do it wrong) after watching some vids on how to do that on youtube. After that you can decide whether or not you want to move up to the big leagues of dripping. I dripped for over a month on one 306LR all day every day til it died.

Warning: there is no rebuilding drip atomizers so you will spend a lot of money in the long run replacing them when they die. It's cheaper (if that's your angle) to reuse cleaned cartomizers in a tank, or rebuild clearomizers (such as the Vivi Nova Mini) with cotton wick.

Welcome , but you can get a Ody "dripping atty" they cost , used from 75.00 to 100.00 , but will pay for themselves in a short time . Using the ready wires from COV , it takes about 2 minutes to replace a burnt , or clogged wick/coil . Costs alittle over a dollar , for a new wick/coil . Or even cheaper if you use resistance , and non -resistance wire , and make your own coil . And you can get whatever ohm resistance you want . Now the new wick / coil costs about 25 cents . I can drip 4 to 6 drops in at a time . and can hit it , 4 or 5 times , before needing to add more juice .

Phiniac tanks are awesome! No argument there at all I love mine and keep my favorite juices in them. The is another vendor the has Pyrex tanks and the pyrex is of the same quality as a phini, they are half the cost. You can't get them sandblasted and no fancy designs but still a nice tank. Glass tanks really do give you better flavor then a plastic tank.

Yeah I've read and seen alot about phiniac, it's just a little more than I'd like to spend. I like the idea of glass tanks so I want that. Those that you posted are nice and priced decently. So if I got the 4ml one will boge carto's fit in those? And all I will need is a drip tip and carto's to be set right?

For dripping, I just use a Joyetech low res atomizer with a driptip that I pulled off a tank that came with my starter kit . .the tank/carto itself turned out not to work very well with my battery. I've been using it with my USB VV no battery passthrough whenever I'm sitting at my pc . .to save my batteries and clearos for when I'm out.

I have 3 types of tanks - a 1.5ohm DCT which doesn't work very well on my ego batteries (I have a 650mah twist and a regular 650), a 1.8ohm Kanger t2 and, my favorite, a 1.8 ohm Vivi Mini Nova. I like 1.8ohms max for my ego. My dripping atty is even lower . .I think 1.2 . .and that gives the most vapor. Love it. It kills the batteries quick, though (it's also very messy). .so I mostly just use it on my passthrough while sitting at my desk.

Interesting. As far as I know mines not a pass thru. Just regular 1000mah twist. Ill also note that all the carto's I got are low res except for the attys which is SR, which is all they had. I just don't like the tanks I have no and wicks :(.

Ohh . .the no battery passthrough is super cool. I guess it's not really a pass-through since it has no battery . .but that's what the package says. I haven't had it long enough to know if it will last or not . .but it has a little metal ego-looking end connected to a usb cable. You screw an atomizer, carto or clearo on, plug it in and vape. You can click the button quickly four times to change the voltage to 3.3, 3.7, 4.2 and 4.8. I paid around $25 for it at a vape shop - I can't tell the brand . .it just says "VV Passthrough" on the blister pack.
