I keep seeing people say that about the thingy but HOW exactly does it prime the carto?
My next tank is probably going to be from them so if there is a priming shortcut I would love to know it.
Help! Carto tanks!

That 25mm IBTanked is the same diameter as the above pictured Triple V tank from Valley View. Do you really want a tank that large on an ego?
Choice is yours to make...Yes, you match cap size with tube diameter. You can order a complete tank kit from IBTanked and get the tube, caps, the proper length cartomizer, and a combo tank tool/drip tip, and extra o-rings. Oh yeah, you get a Thingy to store your tank in.
Just make certain the length of the tank matches up with the length of cartomizer. Standard (35mm) or XL (45mm).

The thingy is so simple, but so darn effective. It's a plastic tube with a tight screw-on top that causes rapid changes in air pressure that forces juice into your carto while forcing the air out. Just insert the carto into the tank, fill using the included filling tool, then put it into the thingy. Screw on and unscrew the lid quickly and keep doing it until air bubbles no longer come out of the punch holes. Remove your tank, top it off and BINGO! A perfectly primed carto tank.
I think I'm going to buy this kit actually, what do you think?

The kit, a drip tip (or use the filling tool as a tip) and your juice. That's all ya need. Maybe a thread cone/cover to dress things up a bit...
You put an fully assembled and filled tank (with carto) inside the Thingy. Open and close the cap of the Thingy several times. You will notice tiny air bubbles leave the holes in the carto. This indicates that juice is going into the cartomizer from the tank.
This system of priming the carto "does work", however it must be considered a "blind method". You really can't tell how much liquid is actually entering the carto; it's a guess. Too much juice = flooded carto. Too little = dry hits.
After trying the Thingy method, I've returned to using my previous method of filling the cartomizer (drip and shake method, with a tooth pick in the carto air hole). I can actually see how saturated the filler is with this method. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/blogs/baditude/3710-5-cartomizer-tank-setup.html
Your results may vary from mine. Many IBTanked users use the Thingy and get great results. Try the Thingy method and see if it works for you.

That's exactly what I have. Four of them, actually. There are cheaper options out there, but I am finding more and more that you get what you pay for.
Oh man, I forgot about that. I think I received an email about it.
Sorry bout that...

This is what a 19mm XL looks like on a 650mAh standard eGo and a 1000mAh Twist. I have standard sizes too, which are a little shorter (the width is the same):

The link doesn't seem to work. Is it the same kit as you posted before?
Yeah I double posted lol.
Alright cool! I might do the XL but probably standard, thanks for the help!

Have you considered a clearo? No punching, no priming, no inserting cartos into the tank.
I recomend Kanger's Evod or ProTank. To fill; unscrew the bottom, make sure the center post is tight, fill the tank, screw the bottom back on, and screw the Evod or ProTank on to your battery.

I was one click away from buying the 19mm standard kit then I check this thread and the guy asked "Have you considered a clearo?" & just made me re-think my whole life hahaha

I have never used a carto tank. But, I have used most if the popular clearomizers. The clearos just sounded like they would be easier to deal with, easier than carto tanks at least. So, I jumped into clearos head first.
I'm gonna hold off until tomorrow to make my decision
Clearomizers vs carto tanks?
