You could also make your own tank http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/tank-reviews/229289-mwa-atty-tank-set-up.html or http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...756-homemade-syringe-tank-mod-looks-easy.html

The syringe tank is very easy to make and doesn't leak. I'm in the military and I just stick my mod with tank on it in my upper right sleeve pocket with no worries. You do have to punch/slot your cartos or just buy pre punched (they cost a bit more). There is a bit of a learning curve, you have to use long gentle pulls, hard pulls will result in you eating juice.

I use smoketek SS cartos and they last at least a week if not more. I'm gonna make a 306 atty tank soon to see how that works. Anyway this is what works best and with least hassles for my wife and I.

So an update, I just made my wife and I a syringe tank, then I found a couple 306 attys with the orange sleeves. I also found my fluxomizers that I gave up on but kept in case of future mods...

I slid the base part of the flux, the part that was sitting on the base of the flux, and slid it down till it cleared the part of the stock sleeve where you puncture your hole(s) above the top flat part of the atty and about the middle of the bridge. Used a needle to puncture the first hole through both, I'd recommend starting at one, couple of dry pulls before a vape isn't a big deal.
Slide the atty in, slide the rubber bottom piece in, 510sized holes work great, they are slightly small so will fit tight, attach the sleeve, the attach the top plug, throw on your 510 sized drip tip. Fill about 3-4 mils of juice in a syring with blunt tip, place between the edge of the sleeve and the rubber stopper, and fill. Make sure you fill from the opposite side of the hole you punched.

Do a couple primer puffs, if single hole take some strong primer puffs, then vape away.

I now can't use this around in the same room as my daughter due to the large volume of vapor it puts out

The fluxo's Imo were the worst cartos iv ever tried times 100 and yes iv tried ever one of the little mods to get them to work . They wick vapor sometimes but no flavor ,burnt plastic taste ,none are correct resistance ,had a few that leaked right out the battery connector etc . Iv tried so many different cartos . Iv never had a problem with boge cartos in 50+ of them iv used .You can also throw the boges in a nice small tank . I hate big tanks because i never like vaping so much of the same juice . Their so good i just bought 200 of them . Bottom feeder mods are great too

I feel the exact opposite I feel poly cartos to be the worst carto ever. Saying fluxes have no flavor is like saying an atty has no flavor. Sure fluxes are not an atty but are a top atty and they have much more flavor than poly could ever have IMO When I had the burnt plastic taste I was turning the voltage up too high on fluxes resulting on burning the juice and the seals. A 3-3.5ohm flux at 4.5 volts outperforms a 2-2.5ohm poly carto at 6 volts IMO If you are running a 2.4ohm or so flux run it at 3.3-3.5v With the heating coil on top you get more vapor at lower wattage because the juice doesn't have anything to condense to while a poly carto coil is in the poly so you have to heat up much more to get same vapor since a lot condenses right back into the poly. Don't turn the voltage up so high on the flux and you won't get the plastic taste only tons of vapor and clean flavor IMHO

Iv tried everything and i just feel like fluxo's are horrible .The worst out of the ten or so different cartos iv tried . Iv never had a problem with a boge in any catagory so i stick with them now . Iv tried tons of different cartos and always go back to them .I like the flavor using a boge better than a atty even . Out of the 10 different cartos iv tried only the fluxo's i felt were just unvapable . Im not the only one who has the same problem with fluxo's . Iv even tried a few packs of fluxos all bought at different times and none had flavor whatsoever except that taste of like when you drink out of a thermos on a hot day . The QC on them was also pitiful . I dont think out of all the packs i tried one was the same resistance .They are also a pain to fill . I guess they might work a little better with 100% pg juices but that doesnt help me . The boges wick fine for me even with high VG juices .

Thanks for all the replies, guys/gals. Ive been thinking about a tank , a REO is a little out of my price range. I was thinking maybe a tank for now, then when Ive got some more cash I'll pick up a BB or something to help ease the battery hassles. Has anyone tried the new Clearos from GotVapes? They claim they dont crack, and that was my only issue with them prior.

For hassle free, it doesn't get better than a Reo. But since that's out of your price range and I'm guessing you already have some eGo type batteries, here are some alternative suggestions that might work for you:

Smok Tech 510 Dual Coil Tanks Cartomizers

eGo Mega Dual Coil 4 ML Cartomizer LR 1.5 Ohm, 5 Pack - E Cig : Joye eGo & eGo-T | Boge Leo | Cartomizers | E-Liquid | Electronic Cigarette | eGo Tank

510 XXXXL Dual Coil Cartomizers

These all work best with mostly PG juice, IMO.

Im going to consider it for sure. Maybe its like when I first started vaping, and i wanted something the size of an analog, and now realize that its a poor choice.

If you are then DEFINITELY check out the REO sub-forum for more information. Don't hesitate to make a thread regarding any questions you might have. Overall, everyone has their preferences and personally.

I'm not a fan of tube mods in general. Like the look of some of them but will never own one myself. Closest I ever got was an big batt.

to OP, sorry that you have had such a frustrating experience ... I think it all comes down to what you are using and the way in which you are using it. I have had the occassional atty leak, but only when I over-drip, and I have burnt a carto but it was 3 weeks old and I forgot to top it off and burnt it.

Haven't tried a tank system yet and I plan too. When I first started vaping I was going to buy a tank until I heard one to many reviews about leaking tanks, but like everything else when it first comes out there a glitches and now it seems that Tanks have been improved and so now I wanna give them a try.

Good luck with finding the PV system that works best for you.
