I keep looking at all these tanks and puttin them in my cart then stopping myself from getting anything!...i own 4 tanks that i pretty much hate, but since i have no freakin ideas on what i like i dont want to waste more money on more stuff i hate! its really a vicious circle im going in...my brain may possibly explode!
Im pretty sure my huband and kids and probably the dogs, are ready to stage an intervention
OMG!!! OMG!!! i just did a dry burn to clean my iclear16...AND IT WORKED!!! AND I DIDNT BLOW ANYTHING UP!!!! YEAAAAA ME!! YOU GUYS CANT SEE ME BUT IM DOIN MY HAPPY DANCE!!!
Yep; You have passed a milestone; alot of people here know exactly how that feels to do a dryburn for the first time.
Kind of magical to see the black wick turn white and not get burned.
Kelly,
Hello and welcome to ECF. You will get tons of great advice. My advice would be to find a tank that works for you on your current battery. I wish I would've found Bad's why Provari blog after my first set up died. It would've saved me hundreds of dollars and hours of chasing the mail man. Until I bought my Provari I was buying a mod a week. I have a vape drawer full of them. Many with stripped threads, some that were dropped and died, some that got wet and died and some just died.
My Provari has been swimming and dropped numerous times. The worse was from a motorcycle going down the freeway at 75 mph. It has some serious road rash but it's in my hand not in the dead mod drawer.
More advice! Don't waste money like I did. When your current set up dies and you want to keep vaping....Go Provari!

the tank itself is straightforward; just give it a rinse or soak in hot water; its the coil that really needs to be cleaned.
a miniprotank2v2 is built to be taken apart for cleaning; same for the newer miniaerotank;

the iclear16d you'd have to soak I guess;

There have been lots of plastic tanks out there and they are good for getting started, but once you're committed to vaping, it's time to get a glass tank.
some liquids like cinammon and citrus types are known to react noticeably with plastic tank material.
I'm sure there's lots more flavors that react much less noticeably.
Makes sense to get spare glass tubes/tanks:
There's also a smoktech pbc tank which is supposed to be glass on the inside with plastic on the outside.
And theres a few tanks that are glass with a metal outer jacket like the rg500, and I've seen another being called hypertank that looks similar
your dog will probably come sniffing and tail wagging around you depending on what you vape
LOL! again i say....I LOVE YOU ALL! I really dislike all my tanks except the protech mini 3 i hate that one less than the others. They all seem to leak alot and i get oil in my mouth and thats so grose! and the first hit is usually good but then the rest are icky or have no taste. I loved smoking thats why i wouldnt quit, so when i found vaping i was super excited...its WAYYY better than smoking it flavored!!! like smoking candy!! i have the best of both worlds now,i dont have to quit smoking and i dont have people yellin at me to quit! but i see alot of people saying how much money was wasted learning how to do this...and i fear im on that path! 4 tanks all sucky! So now im stuck cuz im worried about buying more that suck but dont know what i like...only what i dont! Now im asking for help again but everyone has to play nice cuz yesterday it seemed i caused some tiny riots about evedyones opinion 8)
You might want to try moving to a carto tank....May look a little top heavy but no juice in the mouth and no leaking...check out baditude blogs...Ibtanked are not expensive if you don't customize.
Also, any money spent, wasted or not; is a thousand times better than a carton of cancer and lung disease or heart disease. Life is sometimes shorter than we want it to be. I am of the mind that we need not hasten it's end, if we can help it.

LOL! i spent most of the day reading baditudes blogs, they are incredibly informitive! i wish i would of know about this forum before i bought anything! someone else reccomended ibtanked also so i did check it out and again...did not understand it LOL! I sware i have never felt this unintelligent before! i not only need definitions of the parts and pieces but i also need definitions of the words and terms used in the definitions! its slightly maddining! So what is a carto tank? And how does it differ from what i have now? Just to recap i have iclear 16 and iclear 16d and a kanhertech protank mini3.

You have clearomizers....he put pictures in there....

im so lost...i have looked at the photos and read and reread this information...i use alot of fruity sweet candy juices actually thats all i use...so if im understanding this right i cannot use carto tanks? And if im wrong and i can use them is it a tank that goes into another tank? Please dont give up on me i sware when all this "clicks" in my brain it will be so much easier!I feel your pain...I have a clk 800, and not much of clue. Been vaping for a weeks. So I am eager to read all the responses. Good luck
Well jett17 everyone on this site are freakin fabulous! im still totally lost and confused but i dont feel alone anymore,so my guess is you will feel the same. Maybe we can take this crazy journey together!...
Carto tanks are usually glass and glass is good for any kind of juice. Plastic (polycarbonate) cracks with some juices, glass does not. It is a cartridge that fits into the tank...
Watch this video...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOhhasydESQ
The cartomizer has it's own coil in it...so when you change a carto (you only need to do this every so often by the way) you get a whole new coil. no fussing with atomizer heads. Cleaning involves removing the carto, washing and drying the glass tank, priming a new carto with juice (priming is adding juice to the inside of the carto, because you want it to not be dry inside) and then inserting the new primed carto into the tank and filling the tank.
and this Ocelot Full tank Carto Swap Video ....It will give you a picture of what we are talking about...
The Ocelet video is just to give you a picture of it...she is doing something fancy there. Not a normal tank setup. It shows what to do when you have a tank full of juice but need to change the carto.
Most times the tank will be empty, you will prime a carto, insert into tank and fill.
The Pbusardo vid shows a tank tool but it also shows him working with the carto tank.

A carto is an small atomizer coil shaped like this:
It screws onto the battery, and it contains both the coil and the flavor;
For a cartotank, you use a reuseable blank carto like this instead:
It comes with not liquid/flavor; instead, you put that into a carto tank, and fill the tank with liquid.
Yes you can use carto tanks, but you would need to get cartos; it's like you currently have tanks but you need to buy replacement atomizer heads;
With a cartotank/carto system, the carto (cartomizer) is the replacement atomozer head;
They cannot however be rewicked and/or rebuilt; when they go bad you toss them.
hello kelly i have been vaping for a whopping 3 weeks or so, and just like you i was totally confused, i watched youtube and learned alot. i purchased a rebel from vapor fi for my wife...i was hoping she would quit smoking...she hated it, so we bought her an aspire starter kit, she likes it and uses it to curb her smoking urges she is coming along with it...it uses the nautilus mini very easy to use no mess. and it comes with coils that even i can replace....i dropped the rebel, and it broke, so i went looking i was going to buy a provari, it looks great, with great reviews..i bought a dani extreme very much like a provari, and coast was about the same..i wanted something i wasnt goin to have to replace, i love it by the way, i only use the aspire, i got a full size nautilus with the mini coils...bdc or bvc i think it works great!! im looking for a rebuildable but not really sure about them yet still learning...my rule that i went by is you get what you pay for so i went expensive and got a great mod...there is a whole lot out there now im getting a mech mod.....again trying to figure things out, but i want to try one...but thats another story....my advice to you is go to a nice b&m ask questions and see what they recommend then look online for reviews....provari is very nice but find an owners manual first and see if you can make sense of it thats where i run into trouble, i had to learn the damn symbols if you think you really like vaping like i did then spend the money on a good quality device you will save money in the long run
You can use carto tanks for the kinds of juices that you vape. I think, and maybe I'm basis, you should get an Aspire Nautilus or mini Nautilus. I love mine. I also have some Beyond Vapes Silo Lites Beyond Vape Silo Lite Tank Kit [bv-silo-lit-tan-kit] - $15.00 : Beyond Vape, premium vaporizers and e-cigarettes that I use. Both are bottom coil tanks with adjustable airflow.
I read where you don't want to get into rebuilding either so tanks with adjustable airflow can give you that big vapor and big taste without the rebuilding. Hope that helps.
It can all be a bit overwhelming at first but it gets easier.
