This may be a dumb question but I thought dual coil cartos tended to flood. When someone mentions a DCT I figure they're meaning "dual coil tank". I have some dual coil cartos but I haven't punched any because I have heard they don't work well in tanks but now I see lots of vendors selling punched dual coil cartos to use in tanks. Can someone clarify this for me.



Oops.. wrong forum.. thought I was posting in the atty/carto/tanks forum.. sorry

IMHO, there are two things to be careful of when using a punched cartomizer in a tank.
1. Be sure you have just one small hole punched - lighter, PG liquids don't require a big hole at all.
2. Only prime the carto with about 1/2mL of liquid.

This applies to any carto - not just DC.

I've flooded a few times because of operator error. Improper filling once. I filled with the top cap off then pushed it on. That forces too much juice into the carto. And once by punching two big holes with a nail. Again, too much juice in the carto. I use a saddle valve for punching cartos now and just one hole. Shan B's video is a good primer.

dual coils work tremendously perfect in a tank!!! The tops will appear dry, but I've gotten consistent hits and flavor out of them for up to 12 days, which is much longer than I got out of them without a tank and keeping them topped of meticulously, where I was only getting about 4-5 days use out of them (as the draw became stiff and they died).

I'm sure you'll get lots of resonses to this. I judt don't liike DC cartos. I have shortened all of the DCTanks to a length suitable to a Boge carto. For me, it all boils down to KISS. I have only one type of carto that I use, Boge sr, less expensive, great vape.. :) And I have multiple VV pv's, so I can always get the vape I want.
