This would look great with the red and black ProVari!!

It's personal preference on what cartos to buy. They are all a bit different, even within the same brand. Ikenvape makes several different styles, bigger holes, smaller holes, slotted, flanged, unflanged, they are all different. And the type of juice used might play into it too. I prefer Ikenvape Platinum Punch V2 for some of my thicker, darker, sweeter juices but the Smok and Boges work well for lighter, thinner juices.

As far as storage, if I were to store a tank, I'd probably just put it into a baggie with an unused drip tip on it or that plastic insert cap if the carto came with it. I don't normally store tanks with juice in them, it's one of my weird quirks.

I kind of fell in love with their cupid set.. my ProVari is red and black. O;!!!!

I think those are the 35mm ones. Can't tell from the no description. If IBTanked has the Smok ones, I'd buy a few of those to try out.

Here's some Boge XL ones: Pre Punched Boge Cartomizer XL 45mm

Thank you, that helps a ton. Lol. I have to ask, why does it bother you to store them with liquid in it? Does the juice go bad or something?

Can someone direct me to a store with 45mm Smok prepunched cartos?

I'm just weird. Juice doesn't go bad sitting in a carto or tank. I rotate between 4 devices so if I put a filled tank away, I tend to forget what juice I have in it.

Smoktech pre-punched single-coil tank replacement cartomizers from Smoktek were in this link previously given Vendor List for Pre-Punched Cartomizers. This is where I buy cartos when Ikenvape cartos are out-of-stock.

I have a drip tip for each cartotank I have, but this is not necessary. You can use a single drip tip and put it on different tanks as you need it. A cartotank will not leak e-liquid if you remove the drip tip. The filler wick contains the juice very well. Juice does not "go bad" if kept in a tank.

As you collect multiple tanks (and you probably will), you can find many ways to organize/carry them. Above is part of my collection, and at one time I used a mini-tool case to carry my tanks. Not sure where you can find these now, but you can also use a battery case as a carrying case for a couple of tanks (ideal for a small purse).

I'm not sure if you missed my previous link to some drip tip vendors. Cherry Ming drip tips from RTD Vapor and premium drip tips from Drip Tip Designz - Drip Tip Designz.

I looked at them. While I did like the Cherry Ming valentines day set that was the only one that really caught my attention and the fact that they need a universal hook up to help prevent from ruining them kind of steers me away from them. I looked at DTD as well but there Drip Tips are a little over priced. :(

I didn't understand what this is? :confused:

EDIT: Never mind. I went to the Cherry Vape website and figured it out. :)

Here's another site with a large selection of drip tips: Heather's Heavenly Vapes

I really liked the CV Cupid set but I don't want to pay a ton of money if its just going to melt or whatever without the add on they have, lol.

I'll check out HHV, I was looking at their e-liquids last night. <3
Also, do you happen to know where people get fancy tanks?
I saw the provorn thread and someone had a dragon on theirs. Kind of blew my mind.

Was the dragon sandblasted into the glass? Might be a Phiniac tank. They are really great tanks too, just cost more.

Those are Stormy's tanks. I believe that is a sticker or metal filigree that she glues on herself. I know on the ones with the crystals she makes those herself. She doesn't sell them though. She's very crafty so she could have even painted the filigree to silver since they are usually brass and quite thin so they can easily be bent to fit around a tank. If it's a sticker, there are ones that are called "metallic embellishments" which are just peel and stick. Best thing would be to PM her to see where she got the dragon design.

Could also be a Bedazzled tank. Bedazzle Glass Tubes - Bedazzle Glass Tubes

I have no experience with those. Some of the pyrex tubes from Bedazzled will fit the Bella tanks from Hoosier Vapes. I do have one of those:

Phiniac does 3D hand-blown figures for their tanks which you can design yourself. http://phiniac.com/cid-21-1/phiniac-hand-blown-tanks.html

High Desert Vapes also does custom hand-blown designs for their tanks. My tree frog tank was from here:

Got over zealous trying to be helpful as people were for me when I first started and realized that most of my post had already been covered, so that is gone now. I have three IBTanks and I use the Thingie that would be for the tank that is attached to my ProVari as a case to hold the second battery the 18490s fit perfectly in the thingies that come with 19mm Xl tanks.

I don't use the universal and haven't had any problems. Carto tanks don't get hot enough, at least in my experience.
