I've read all the forums on different tanks, etc. I like to change flavors SEVERAL times a day and I have some good "all day vape" tanks, etc. What would you suggest (easy to use, easy to change) if I want to change flavors several times a day. I get tired of the same flavor and emptying these tanks multiple times a day is getting frustrating. I'm not looking for great quality for this. I have some good clearo tanks, etc.

Would cartromizer's be the way to go? If so, please tell me the best place to order them. I mean, I have carto's that go in a tank but I know that's not the same thing (yes, I'm still a noob obviously). I don't want to spend a lot on these because I've blown my wad on tanks and the Provari lately. Don't worry...I'll look up how to actually USE them without a tank. ;) If not, let me know what would be best? I'm open to any and all suggestions.

I have all sorts of liquids: VG, 80/20, 50/50. Is it impossible to get something (catromizer wise or whatever) that will work with all of that or would I need to order several different types?

I have a Nautilus on the way. The AeroTank (the new Airflow one can BITE me because this is the second that's broke in a week). I'm done with those. I know most will think it's operator error but I swear it's not. I've babied both of those things. I'm beyond frustrated with those. :nah:

So, what should I get to change flavors often that's easy to use and not expensive. I really only use my Provari (if that helps) and where online is the cheapest place to get them?

Thanks in advance and I apologize if this has been asked, but I didn't see a post about what do use for changing flavors often.

Geez, I've asked so many questions...I might as well just post my CC number and let someone just order it for me, lol.

It sounds like you need to drip. :)

I don't know anything about the 510 cartomizers unfortunately but I'm sure someone else can help out.

There are lots of drippers out there, most you'll have rebuild (unlike the cartomizers). There's one specifically made for the Provari called the eBaron Dripper Pro and that one you can either rebuild or buy new coils for. I just got mine last week and I absolutely love it.

I'm the same as you, I like to change flavors several times a day. I have a couple of tanks but one of them is sitting unused right now and the other is on my other Provari filled with something I would have in my dripping rotation anyway. I have a small cookie tin on my desk that has (counting) about 15 bottles in it, and I just pick one based on my mood. If I go out, I usually bring my dripper and just stick a couple or 3 of my favorites in my bag, not a big deal at all.

Here's the Dripper Pro - I sprang for the FedEx shipping from Greece, ordered Tuesday and had it Friday so it was totally worth it. However this setup is not the cheap route, but it's not disposable either and the quality is top notch. I don't know what your definition of expensive in relation to mine. To me this was expensive but I know I won't have to replace it. :)

You would probably be interested in learning how to drip.

You could get non-punched cartos. They're the same things that go in the tanks, but they don't have holes in the sides to feed juice from a tank. You could also cut the bottom off a condom (the clear things that come on the ends of new cartos, not the things in the bathroom vending machine at the shady gas station) & use it as a sleeve to cover the holes. They work, but it's going to be a lot more work for a lot less benefit in the end.

In my driptarded experience, the cheap dripping attys are worth more in scrap than they are as gear. If your funds allow, perhaps something like the Dripper Pro by Leo would be a great investment. It's a little bit more money up front, it's rebuildable so you'd have to invest in supplies (<$10 for enough to last you years) & learn how to build coils (way scarier sounding than it actually is).

Depending on how many flavors you cycle through, multiple IBT cartotanks might also be an option (although more than a couple, it's going to be cheaper for the Dripper Pro)

Maybe try dripping...


Or, if you're cool with plastic clearos... iClear16


Get a bunch at $4-$6 a pop, pretty darn good flavor, can easily carry a handful around with you all day.. go past the fill line & you can get 2ml with each fill

Heads last a while with a rinse & dry-burn every 8 to 10 fills... replacement heads are like $2.50 each

Would need a 510-to-510 adaptor to work on the ProVari... costs like $3


Not the sexiest, but great for lots of flavors without breaking the bank...

My Aero tank floods no matter what I do (dual coil, sinfle coil, rebuilt coil, new o rings etc...) I gave up on it. I am a noob but never had a problem with all the other items alike that I own. Only positive from purchase is the Kanger Airflow Control Valve that came with it...... Works Fantastic on the PT2. I am ordering more, they are a bear to find in stock (everybody discovered they make the PT2 a masterpiece and can be had at around $20 bucks for the combo....depending on where you grab the PT2 of course) If you go to Kangers site you can preorder the Airflow piece for around 5-6 bucks, expected to be in stock at the end of next week.

I admit these look weird on a ProVari, but they solved my multiple flavor issues. I must have at least 30 around here.

Pros: Very inexpensive; small (I can put 7 in a standard size medicine bottle, put the lid on and throw it in my purse); very, very rarely leak; While they aren't made of glass or polypro, they aren't made of polycarb either. I'm not sure what it is, but it doesn't react to strong juices; they come in different resistances.

Cons (not to me): Each one has to be dedicated to a flavor, since you can't clean them. Well, actually someone said you can, but I'm not convinced and for the price I don't think it's worth it. You just keep filling them with the same flavor. I get about 3-4 tanks out of them. You fill it with a syringe, so you need to know how to do it properly. If you don't get the air out of the syringe before you fill it the pressure will break the seal. Some people claim they leak, but I think it's incorrect filling.

Technically, it is a CE3 XL, but some vendors call it a "Phoenix Bottom-Coil Cartomizer," which is weird since it's obviously a clearo. It was one the first (if not the first) bottom-coil clearo.

They come in a 5 pack with a syringe and little drip tip. The connection is 510 and it uses a regular 510 drip tip.

This is where I get mine: CE3 XL Clearomizer [CE3XL] - $8.50 : Vapors Choice, Ecigarettes & Parts $8.50 for 5 makes me happy.




ETA: She talks about one resistance in the video, but they come in higher ones.

Tina, I'm a multiple-flavor user as well, and I have multiple PV's of various types, and multiple toppers of various kinds going all the time. I do like the cartos and tanks, but also have some other kinds with coils & wicks. I have a dozen or so devices going at all times!! Some of them are my ol' eGos and clearos, some are spinners and twists, iTastes, and Provaris. I still haven't found an "all day" flavor!!

Vision Nano clearo's - 5 @ $2.49 each or 10 @ $1.99 each.
---> Nano Clearomizer - 510 Thread -

I've tried those too, but I like the CE3 better, due to the vacuum seal. However, a Nano can be rinsed out and used for another flavor, plus they come in different colors.

ETA: You usually see Nanos with low resistance (approx. 1.7Ω), but if you look around your can find higher ones (approx. 2.8Ω).

Those nano's are bottom coil.

I stand corrected. It's been awhile since I used them and I think I was confusing filling it from the top and being a top-coil. I do recall, that for me, the Nanos had more potential to leak since they don't operate using a vacuum seal and that's why I liked the CE3 better.

I think I'll order the nano's and the CE3 and see what i like better. Can't beat either for the price :).

CE3's were, hands down, the best IMHO, until GotVapes debuted these...absolutely love them!

GotVapes FLüXomizer™ 2014 : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more

Once again I have to pick on GotVapes. The grammatical errors in FastTech copy can be hilarious, but understandable. GotVapes, on the other hand, is a US company (or claims to be, I wonder sometimes), so their errors are unforgivable.

"Its (sic) back after a long reprise and BETTER than ever before! We are proud to re-introduce our flagship product, the product that launched GotVapes and the product that changed the landscape of vaping [A period here and capitalization of the next word would be nice.] introducing a clear tanked, fillerless solution providing the cleanest vape ever experienced 'til that time. Its (sic) BACK and we made many improvements:" (blah, blah blah...)

Wait! Run that by me again!

"introducing a clear tanked, fillerless solution providing the cleanest vape ever experienced 'til that time."

"Its BACK and we made many improvements" but obviously not in the proofreading department.
