Pretty much whichever one you love the best. I happen to like horizontal coil cartos (even without a tank) so that's what I try to find to use in the tank.
Just make sure they're stainless steel (not "silver" which come with a plastic silver-colored wrapper) unwrapped. Because getting that label off can be a ....*

I just figured out last night that my first Chibi w/Boge carto has lasted me 5 weeks and is just now starting to get a little tight.... Have been using it with mostly 100% VG menthol and some 50/50.

I watched Bianca's video for filling and it works like a charm.... occasionally it might flood a little... I agree completely with Donnah that it is in the air pressure...

I for one am really happy with my Chibis and haven't used anything else since they got here..... Thank you ParkesVaping

I'm a big fan of the Boge 2ohm cartos in my tanks. I like them anywhere between 4 and 4.5V. I've found that for whatever reason, the sticker/paper will come off of them pretty easy, but trying to get the sticker/paper off a 3ohm Boge is a huge PITA! Dunno why they would use differnt sticky stuff on them, but it seems the case.

All this tank stuff has a learning curve, but once you get it down, they sure do rock!

At least the 3.0 boge cartos come in stainless steel! I can't find a higher ohm smoktech in stainless steel anywhere!

Omg! Are these smoktech? I don't see a brand name. Also..what shipping method do you use? I see $16 and $7.50

They don't say that they are but I've used many a smoktech carto and they are. I always go with the slow/cheaper shipping. They're not shipping til the 31st I believe...so be aware of that.

Well I have actually ordered the paws mod (in purple) so quite excited when I get that which could be next week or the week after.

Thanks for that on the Boges...and maybe this is a dumb question but how many holes, how wide, how high up?

If they could last 5 days right now I'd be happy :)

Yeah and then it takes a min of 2 weeks on slow shipping to get to Europe :( and they will be inundated...

I personally am going with another Vaping Forum that is doing a group buy about beginning of February for HC...I think I'm going to order 100 or 50 Boges rather than Kangers as they are cheaper...

I loved my lil mama and yeah tanks are fab..till I bust the o-rings and then 'lost' it...

There is a very easy solution to the filling problem - drill and tap a hole for a thumb screw. It solves the air pressure problem and makes adding or removing juices a snap with a syringe and needle. I prefer blunt ones.
Here is a tank I made from tubing, grommets, o-rings and screws I bought online, but I also installed a screw port into my favorite tank, a Liquinator. Now refilling the Liquinator is a breeze.

If this sounds like something you would like to try, the stuff you'll need (tools, screws) can be found in the links below. If you have access to a drill, you can easily do it. I have even installed these screw ports while they had juice in them, it's so easy.

If you scroll down on this page, I see you can even get the complete set with the tap wrench drive for $16.70 (That's pretty cool)

You will need to peel the black paper off those and wipe off all the glue residue. Denatured alcohol on a rag works best for this in my experience, but some here use isopropyl.
It's best to just get the bare steel ones when you can.


Semi related, just ordered my chibi from parkes. The 3.2 boge I see on MV are black. Is this a problem that I need metal? Will the outer layer help seal or do I need to Peel it off? Or is it the wrong one all together?

Thanks
