First order questions

[tiffany7278]

Ok I keep seeing everyone talking about the IBTank and now I want one! Actually from what I'm reading I guess I want two
But I'm confused I'm new to vaping and have only used the CE4's that came with my original kit and some extras I got off ebay.
I am currently using an itaste vv 3.0 and also have the MVP2 Shine.

Can you tell me everything I'll need and what the difference is between these and my CE4's?
From the looks of it I think I like the way the halfling tube looks best.

Is it easy to clean these out to change flavors? Since I'm so new I have 10 new flavors coming this week to try.
Any tips and all help is appreciated.

Thanks!
Tiffany

Baditude has some excellent blog posts that should help answer your questions regarding carto-tanks and IBTanked.

Also note that Baditude mentions some cartomizers having connection issues on the MVP2, hopefully he or others can chime in on that.

Sorry Tiffany but you cant have one

Lol, just kidding of course. The HalfLings have their limitations, some folks like them myself included for the nice look but they have limited capacity and the cartomizers dont last quite as long as the Standard or XL do. The vape is also different, at least for me it is warmer. I switch between the Standard and Halfling most of the time.

For your devices I would say you probably wan the 19mm or 22mm. The 22 will look pretty good on the MVP but be a bit topheavy on the iTaste. Thats a personal call there as far as looks.

One thing to keep in mind, the caps are the real investment. You can swap the caps from one length tube to another so if you decide you want to change the tubes are quite reasonable and it never hurts to have a spare tube.

As far as changing flavor. You will probably get anywhere from 10 to 30mls through a cartomizer. When you change cartomizers is the best time to change flavors. I will usually pop the caps and rinse it out if I am changing drastically. If the flavors might compliment each other like bringing Vanilla in behind a Tobacco or a Grape behind Apple you might just find a nice surprise for a little while as one flavor takes over from the last one. You cant really just switch up flavors in a cartomizer tank though, it will be a gradual change from one to the other so if they work together then yes, if they dont then you might not like the results.

Best of luck to you in finding whats right for you, I know we dont make it too easy with all the choices but then we have a lot of different tastes to cater to.

I have 8 tanks to rotate my flavors through. I would just vape a carto till done then change flavors if I want when that cart is kapoot. Right on about the 10 to 30 mL lifespan.

Beep beep... yup, I toss the 10ml out there because with some liquids they go quicker. It is a hazard of using cartomizer tanks but as long as you can get them at a reasonable price it really isnt that much of an issue to most. If you are looking for the rock bottom, how cheap can I vape this isnt it... then I didnt roll my own either.

We, The Mrs and I according to that banner anyhow are up to almost $11K that we have not spent on Marlboros. Now I have a lot of gear, probably more than most that have been vaping for two+ years but I would put total expenditures at a good mark south of $5K. Last year our Daughter graduated from Leeward in Oahu, we made the trip to see that moment in our lives courtesy of of not making ashes. We are still ahead

Thanks OCD that helps a lot. So I could order the standard 22mm and a halfling tube and swap them out with the same caps? I know I would need different size cartomizers.
OK waiting for tax return to be deposited was supposed to be today hmmm

Exactly, and you can use a longer cartomizer with a shorter tank. It will just stick up out of the top but in a pinch it can keep you going if thats what you have on hand.

 

[tiffany7278]

Ok I am ready to place my order I am going with the 19mm standard size, which carto do I get with it? I see 4 options but none say standard so I'm confused.

Hi Tiffany, we are currently out of the Standard cartomizers. Hoping they will be back in stock by the end of next week.

 

[tiffany7278]

Ok thanks, that makes sense LOL I'm not crazy

I will order them from another site for now

 

[OCD]

Yeah, sorry about that. I am sure hoping SmokTech gets these out to us as promised. Once shipped they are only about three days out but until i get that confirmation its always a who knows kind of deal. They have been very good to us in the past though and told me by Saturday which is why I am saying by the end of next week.

No worries, I just placed my order
