Hey, guys! New vaper here. I have a few questions about tanks, and alternatives to them.

Well, last night I said screw it and ordered 3 of the vivi novas. I wanted to wait until the metal tanks were available, but I figured that once I figured out which resistance coil I preferred, I'd end up ordering more and order the tanks at the same time. I just hope the plastic stands up to my juices until then.

Welcome and good luck.

I use a Jugz from All About Vapor in Round Rock Texas.
hold about 5 ml's when filled with a 18 ga needle.
Replaceable 3 hole flanged cart that I bought at the sme place
I use it a VMaz vvmod at 3 volt and 2.9 ohms with 60/40 pg/vg and 24 nic flavored juice

Works great for me
Vape all day and use about 3 or so ml's

Hope that helps.

So, here's a little update. Tank system on my Inferno continues to leak even after calling customer support and her "solving" the issue. Almost all of my e-juice is gone that I ordered from the constant leaks. To top it off I went with the ViVi NOVA system (20 bucks after all was said and done) received it today, and it's broken. It doesn't sit into my connection right and it wobbles. There's piece that sticks out of the bottom that is loose.

This is after having waited all weekend for it to come. Honestly I feel defeated, this is stupid. I'm just gonna go buy a pack of smokes. I don't have the money to keep messing with this stuff. Not a rich man by any stretch.

I have ALWAYS advised new vapers (I've been involved in over 80 people starting vaping) to first get used to cartomizers/ vaping/ juice and once comfortable with the entire setup get into tanks. Tanks are great but sometimes too overwhelming to immediately use tanks. I also state there are great tanks and absolutely horrible tanks out there. My tank never leaks/ dries out. I can lay it down turn it upside down- no leaks. While I sleep my PV lays on the table all night long with a full tank of juice. Vaping can be very frustrating in the beginning. Tank should not cost any more than $10- $15.

I guess hindsight is 20/20.

Thanks for everything again, guys.

Believe me although things may seem fairly disappointing at this point it will all come together and you'll be able to look back at this day and laugh. We ALL had problems at the start. My first few cartos I burnt out. Also shorted out a battery. Ordered a menthol that was like smoking Vicks Vapo Rub. Screwed a carto in too tight and destroyed a $10 connector- eventually went back to it and fixed/ modded it and it works better than my spanking brand new one. Take heart things will get better.
Good Luck.

Don't give up! Come back! Come back!

OK. Look. This e-cig stuff is a bit frustrating... particularly if you need a "nic fix" and can't get it. As bad as having a cig but no lighter/fire near you. lol. It just taunts you!

I've been at it about 2 years now. I found a way that works for me. You need to find your way. You can do it, and do it inexpensively.

Try atties and dripping. Or cartos. Get good at it. Save up the $$ and then play around with the gadgets/tanks. That infernal battery can be used with a lot of "standard" stuff.

Also, if you really wish to save up some $$, you may wish to check out the DIY section for e-liquid. Even if you just start DIY really simply, it can save a bunch of cash. It can be as simple as 1/2 bottle of nic-base, other 1/2 topped off with PG or VG and a couple drops of flavoring. Shake. Insta savings!

Whatever you decide to do, good luck to you and good health.
