I hate cartos. They all taste burnt to me.

I use 4 Divers (one in Grail, 2 in tanks, 1 in reserve for either a second Scuba or Konstantinos' next creation) and a Killer. I like the Diver vape more, and built properly, the leaking is minimal, not enough to cause one not to pocket it. The Killer doesn't have this due to the design, but it also doesn't have quite as good a vape, and is much more difficult to build. Also, the Diver can be removed from a tank using a carto tool without taking the tank apart. The Killer has a hump in the center, so removing it requires that the tank be disassembled.

You know, I think I need to explore other options for the SnP, cause I just can't get on the carto hype. Tried it; don't like it. That's why it stays shelved.

So the Killer705 or Diver are my options, correct? Those are rebuildable?

Gimimie some feedback on what one you are using, and how it performs..

I hate regular cartos as well and get the same burnt taste no matter how long I let the juice soak..

My biggest issue with the Killer was the adjustable flow. I tinkered and tinkered and right when I finally got it right, I went to wipe down my drip tip and the darn thing adjusted to back out of whack.

I guess the Killer would be OK for someone who constantly wants to mess with that darn thing but it was not for me..

The other issue with it is exactly as you stated.. The tank had to be disassembled to remove it.. I hated the Killer and almost didn't bother trying the Diver because of it.

I have not been able to make the Diver work in anything I have and believe me I have tried. I don't really need another tank addy, but I like everything I have to work. After reading your post, gonna snag me a Scuba and try again. I thank you bro and my OCD thanks you.

The Diver and the Scuba Tank seem to be made for each other ;) IDK why, but once "in" the Diver just behaves as it should be (in any tank). While, in the SnP -- it had made my life miserable - so much so that once I thought of throwing it in the trash!

Thanks for the feedback so far. I'm still undecided what direction to go really. I don't wanna buy both just to turn around and slap one in the classies. Might have to look em up and check specs.

Take it from me, if u don't have a [top quality] 'tank' lying around un-utilized, which bugs u, AVIOD both. U don't need a Diver or a Killer, period. They both don't vape such exceptionally that we must buy one. If one has a Kayfun or a Spheroid and/or Oddy/Ithaka - s/he is already enjoying a better vape... and u do as I know!

BTW, vape wise both are ditto... both perform similarly. Headache wise both both have their individual fair share. Yes, the diver is easier to mount in a tank - but it will have that small everyday 'leak' however best u build it. The Killer is difficult to mount & dismount - but it will not 'leak'. The Diver can be slid off to refill, the Killer better have a tank with a fill port. The diver's vape is 'cool' (Ok if u want it like that) - the Killer's vape is 'warm' (again Ok if u want it like that). There are many more...

Bottomline: If u can avoid - don't waste your money on either. As always, it's typically a personal preference though - and what I'm stating is purely IMHO.

anyway possible in the future for the cost of production for paps x to decrease and such the price as well?

My bro, I typically dislike 23mm mods. Yet I didn't sleep y'day night to be 'on time' to fetch my Paps-X, why? Just b'coz this team (the Team-GP) knows it's job - designer par excellence - is responsible, caring and friendly as a Prophet. It is the unseen force behind, which dictate our actions sometimes...

With any Paps tugged I can rest in peace, fully knowing that it's the Provari of Mechanical Mods (wow, that's new!) shan't fail, priced right and if I've anything - I can always have the timely and assured answer from the modder himself. I've thus paid for reliability and a new found friendship How does it sound my bro?

Interesting how we as vapers are night and day different..

I have a KFL that sits collecting dust while my Divers get a work out..

Leaks? I have none, not even a micro drop with my current Diver build..

I love carto tanks but hate cartos so the Diver allows me to enjoy my tanks..

You see I'd say the exact opposite! Don't waste your $$$ on a KFL and get a high end tank and a Diver..

I know most seasoned / long time members look down on carto tanks but I happen to absolutely love them! *Don't judge me* LOL

They are small, compact, lightweight, hold more juice, easy to refill, et al.

Plop a Diver in that bad boy and bam! Vap bliss!

I have a 22mm SnP that I love and I also just ordered another tank with Titamium end caps..

The Paps X with a 23mm SnP on the top looks 5,000,0000,000% pure sexy!!!!

Judging is not allowed on this thread. I know many advanced users that use them. I will too if I am doing farm chore stuff occasionally.
