I need a little advice

[Bucky Goldstein]

Apparently I'm still a noob
I've tried a bunch of stuff
I liked the stardust somewhat, the kanger t3 left me wanting something better, I hated dripping, I loved the mini nova
I just got an evic and I thought I'd get something bigger to go on top of it so I bought three vivi novas... they turned out to be clones and seriously failed. not one of the three works worth woth a darn
I don't want to keep wasting money, I want something tried and true
Should I spring for some real vision novas or go to something else
What is your favorite deal now?
I never tried carto tanks maybe that's the next step... I don't know
thanks!

Never could get the clearo's to work well for me. Leaked or mute/burnt flavor. I've gone carto tanks and haven't looked back! Been playing with RBA's, but not finding much love with them either!
I thought I had my AGA working good but the juice was getting darker and darker, then the flavor was off. Looked and had crude caked on the wick and coil. Of course I busted the coil trying to clean it!
I'd try a carto tank, nice thing about them, a tank is a tank is a tank, as long as you don't run acidic juices! You can get the cheapest tank you can find and it's as good as the most expensive, it's all about what's inside that counts!

i liked the mini nova better then the full size.
the real ones def work better then the clones

buy yea that or a carto tank, something a little more consistent then clearo's

except for that the only real way to go is rebuildables, much more consistent and very low maintenance costs.

Carto tanks are where it's at. Once you buy a tank (or 2), a pack of cartomizers is only like 8 bucks. If one starts to taste burnt, or you want to try a new flavor, just swap it out. Carto tanks are cheap, replaceable and money well spent IMO.

I like my carto tanks, but if I had to only use clearos, I haven't has any real issues with Vision Vivi Nova's.

 

[darkhood]

Evod or protank gets my vote. Like my vivi nova's too.

 

[glasseye]

I think carto tanks are a pain in the .... but my son loves his. I got him one of the locking bottom type and he likes it better than the other kind that just pulls in and out. An Evod might look nice on that evic but it's no bigger than what you've been using. I like the iClears too. I haven't tried the new big one, but I like the 16's. Never had a problem.

Heard good some things about the carto tanks but don't own one.
I also used the Clearomizers carts but had too many issues. (Leaks, hard to clean, etc)
I have 7 Vivi Nova tanks and they work great. Good vapor, easy to clean, low maintenance and the heads are rebuildable. I also like my AGA T2 tank but if you don't feel comfortable with advanced rebuilds yet, I couldn't recommend them.

Hope this helps

cato tank glass with ss caps a tank filling tool or tank filling drip tip and a carto punch. I get about 1 week of vaping per cart but I just use that set up at work or running around. Carto Ibtanked is a good place to get a good priced one. Just start out with boge or smoktek sr carts then once youve masterd that then try some new stuff you might like a HV cart or a LR better with one juice or another. Carto tanks are easy to fill no wrapping coiling ect just dump and vape check out youtube lots of info there.

Carto tanks. Paging Baditude. Unless he can pull himself away from his RBA's.

The real deal Vision Vivi Nova is a winner. It's easy to use and also comes with 2 extra heads at different resistance. I've seen the clones and they are junk.
If you wish to go the carto/tank route then by all means do!!!!! That's my go to daily delivery system. Just don't go cheap on the tanks. If is's slipply when dry it will be worse when wet. IB Tanks is a great start.

Avid carto/tank fan here!

I'm a staunch Vision Vivi Nova-holic.
That's all I own. Never had an issue with the "real" ones. Yeah unknowingly bought a couple knockoffs and they didn't work nearly as well. I run the lowest Res heads I can in them so I can get a similar vape from my mechanicals as I do with my VV/VW devices, yeah I'm a low voltage vapor. Normally run only 4-4.5 volts. Or between 7-7.5 Watts.
Id like to try some carto tanks but I have a problem with this that are only held together with O rings. Now before you carto users jump on me about what I'm missing I have my reasons.
first off. Whenever I'm out I usually carry my EA in 18350 mode and take a couple extra batteries. I carry my mod in my pocket next to my Cell. And all my vivi tanks have metal tanks or the ones with the window. And are color coded to my favorite juices. So....when I grab it it's normally by the tank and lift it out. I don't want a carto tank coming apart. The reason I don't use them at home is because if they are "that" great I don't want to have a fantastic vape at home and something lessor when I'm out. .now if someone made a carto tank with collars that had little set screws you tightened up to lock the tank on the carto? Well then now your talking. I might switch over then. But I have a phobia about stuff that's not "screwed" together. I was a professional wrench for 10 years....so i just roll that way.

Now if someone reads this and takes my idea and starts making a carto tank like that. Well I hope I get the credit and free tanks for life.
plus. I can easily spend $200 on 4 carto tanks. I can get 10 Vivi's for that

 

[DavidOck]

Um, the UDCT and Artemas tanks have locking rings, so the tank can't be pulled off the carto...

Sorry, no set screws needed.

Another vote for carto/tank setup.

 

[Dansauls]

the GotVapes PHOENiX Raven Tank 510 is the easiest carto / tank setup I have found.
It gives great vapor and awesome flavor

 

[Taniger1]

Bottm Feeder! Can be used with either carto or atty. Requires some learning to squonk correctly but once you get it down, your gold.

I had to go back and edit to point out I use: Hog's, Reo's and Provari's. For the Provari's (yes that is plural) I use good carto tanks, Phiniac's. I get my carto's in bulk. Usually from the Co'op section. I pay around 60-80 bucks for 100.
