I used ikenvape platinum k's for many years and now can't find any carto's that compare to those. The best thing about them was that they hardly made any noise when being used. This is very important for the stealth vape in any quiet setting. Can anyone post a link to a site that still sells quiet 1.8 ohm xl (45mm) pre-punched cartos and actually has them in stock?

Thanks!

    Nothin gonna match an Ikenvape carto! Sorry you're left out in the cold.

    If you like quiet, I recently finally upgraded from my carto tanks to a Nautilus and was pleasantly surprised by the silence. 1.8 coils too.

    Hello, I have a nautilus and it is quiet, but I am using carto's in a 15mm tank in a microstick. The nautilus (even the mini) is really too big for a stealth vape, and I don't want the hassle of building my own coils. (please don't suggest spheroid, microdrip, etc...)

    It just dawned on me that I dont own a carto punch and I'm sitting here with cartos (that need to be punched) I bought forever ago & never used. Damn! Just when I think there's nothing else I need to buy. :confused:

    Hard to find a good punch now-a-days.

    I didn't fully grasp you're circumstances. How about a naughty coil set-up in one of those things they use for the Billet boxes? A "Bridge"?

    My vapocalypse stash is in layers, since we've had more than one of those scares. So I've gone on an archaeological exacavation:

    — 2015-2016: Aspire Nautiluses, a couple of hundred heads and lots of spare glass chimneys.

    — 2014: Vision Vivi Novas (the authentic ones) and a couple of hundred heads.

    Both of the top two layers have lots of rebuilding parts like the appropriate gauge Kanthal wires, cotton and strings.

    — Mesozoic: about 150 Boge cartos. I also have several carto-tanks with bad grommets and a widget for punching the cartos.I got the last at Home Depot.

    — pre-Cambrian: a bunch of atomizers plus sheets of blue aquarium filters.

    The cartos and naked atomizers are fine for Reos, which is what I'll use them on . . someday.

    Hello, the microstick will only accept a 16mm or smaller diameter tank/atomizer/clearo. It has a recessed hole next to the battery where you put the tank.

    I have 12 brick of Boge cartos in the stash. ;) They have always been in the rotation ... always will be in the rotation.
    I've always punched my own cartos, just use a saddle valve. (to cheap to pay extra for something that is so easy to do myself)

    Haha, my local vape shop freaked when I showed up with my carto tank. It's gonna be fun when I elbow up to the juice bar with a saddle valve! I quit using mine tho and have moved to MarkFM's set-up long ago.
