Reading thro CASAA.org a question comes to the mind , how come so many Countries Ban the E-cig while allowing regular Cigarettes ?
I am not pashing I love my e-cig so far.
I just would like to understand .

The short answer:70% Money, 20% zealotry 10% ignorance, propaganda and disinformation.
Longer answer: 1) Governments haven't yet figured out a scheme to tax e-cigs that provides the same revenue as tobacco taxes. 2) In the U.S., lobbyists for the pharmaceutical companies pressure, misinform and bribe (campaign support) politicians and their buddies in the FDA because they don't want e-cigs to threaten their lucrative racket of selling ineffective pills, patches and poisons to people who quit, start again, quit again, start again..... 3) Lobbying and disinformation campaigns by ANTZ (anti nicotine and tobacco zealots) who don't believe in the concept of harm reduction. ANTZ have a philosophy of "quit or die". To them, all tobacco products are evil and e-cigs are a tobacco product.

Those are tanks I like and tanks that have gotten good reputations here.
I prefer tanks that take a replaceable CE2 or CE4 coil system instead of a carto with a hole in it. I prefer a screw top instead of a pressure fit and o-ring arrangement.
With a carto tank, I like one where the carto doesn't slide around, and possibly out, spilling juice all over the place. That's why the cheap DCT tank is not on the list.
I prefer metal and glass to polycarbonate, but it's more expensive.
The capacity is up to you. Depends on your vaping style.
I dont remember the links to where some of these are sold. You can google them pretty easy.
The Big Daddy and little momma tanks are at bigdaddyvaping.com. They're expensive but high quality Stlss. Stl. and glass.
The Phiniac gets a lot of love here. It's a hand made pyrex glass tank. Phiniac.com (?)
The Mom & Pops are fairly inexpensive carto tanks. Fill from a hole in the side of the tank so you dont have to take the top off. Momandpopsvaporshop.com (I think that's right)
The J-tank is another relatively inexpensive one, standard carto tank. Well built, polycarbonate. about $20
The Johnboy tank is an ECF cult phenomenon. Good luck snagging one.They go on sale in their own thread here and are snapped up in minutes. You have to wait and refresh your screen a lot.
The Acorn tank is inexpensive and uses replaceable innards from a CE2 cartomizer. Screw top, polycarbonate, works good, looks a little cheesy. Made from polypropylene instead of polycarbonate so will resist cracking with acidic juices. Parkesvaping.com
The Vivi Nova is at Gotvapes and a few other vendors. This one has a screw top and uses replaceable coils like the CE4 or Stardust. Gotvapes.com about $16 including 3 heads of different resistances.
The MAP tank has a good rep and reviews. Medium price range. CE2 tank, polycarbonate. You Got to google this one.
The MC tank is an exotic from Italy. About $30 plus shipping. Really really cool tank. Aluminum and Polycarbonate. Uses a standard CE2 for the guts. See review on Youtube
Siam Mod tanks are handmade works of art. A little pricey, but not as much as big daddy tanks. Frosted looking material may be polypropylene. Cloudsofvapor.com
Fuel tank. Carto tank made of Delrin. You could vape battery acid in this one without cracking it or run it over with a truck. About $20-25. carto tank. tight fit.

Yeah, most of them come with a cartomizer already. The hardest part is getting one with the right hole size, or enlarging the hole so the juice gets in fast enough so that the carto doesn't dry out. Other than that, you just stick the carto in the bottom and fill the tank about 3/4 full right before you stick it the rest of the way up through the top hole. There are videos all over Youtube about how to fill a carto tank. The only thing you have to be careful of is to get cartos that are long enough to go through both holes in the tank. Usually they're XL size. There are some shorter tanks that take regular sized cartos, but only a couple. They usually specify on the website and sell spare cartos where you get the tank.

With the CE2 type tanks, you uncrew the lid, dump the juice in, put the lid back on and that's it. Replacing the guts is a little more involved, but it isn't rocket surgery either and you only have to do it when it burns out in a month or two. With a carto tank, you have to change cartos every time you change flavors.

Where can I get a ce2 tank starter kit ? Any recombination to where to buy from ? Thanks
