I'm feeling stupid and need help carts, tanks, clearo's?

[Ladiekali]

These are just now coming into the stores. Based soley from history and experience, I personally believe its best to wait before purchasing an entirely new type of product until the bugs get worked out with subsequent versions. This happens repeatedly with new products, and unless you want to risk spending money as one of the first guinea pigs, I'd hold off until more customer reviews are known.

ok i'm questioning because the aspire bdc is $9 not sure about shipping...
and the ibtanked... i'm up to $40 with just 1 carto.. i could knock off $5 for color...
and that's just one tank...

or do you just feel that in your experience the tank is that bad a**?
or am i looking at the wrong thing?

I believe that would work. I do not use cartomizers or tanks. You can not return products so I suggest that you find a vape shop near you and go and look at some to make sure that is what you want. You are in Virginia Beach, that is a large enough area, there should be one around. Do a google search. Most vape shops are very helpful and have a variety of products. Some seem to carry more ego and clearomizer stuff. Go find the Forum area where you can find threads on cartomizers and tanks and do some reading. There are pros and cons for any device. You can read up on those in the threads before you spend more money.

Pioneer Vapes on Pleasure House road is in Virginia Beach. Go check them out. It says they will let you try out equipment and juices.

wow where did you find that? i've been searching for vape shops here i didn't think there were any. shoulda known better.
being as i've never been in a vape shop .... are young children aloud in?

I came up with between $35 to $38 (19mm & 22mm) for a complete tank including a carto, drip tip, and the tank tool. I didn't factor in a colored tube; they cost additional because they are hand painted.

I have 12 of these tanks, that's how much I think of these. I believe they offer the best value to the dollar of any tank you'll find. The Aspire is a brand new type of delivery device. It very well could be white on rice, but if history repeats itself, the first versions of new mass production vape gear often have imperfections that will be improved upon with subsequent versions, which likely will come on the market a month later after public feedback is made known to the manufacturer.

About how many cartos do u think id need for about a month? Just a guesstimate... I prolly vape avg 3 ml a day. Just need a number to start with cuz im ignorant to this right now

My educated guess would be a carto per week (conservatively). You may and should get longer use than that, but depends upon several factors such as how heavy of a vapor you are, how thick or dark the juice you use is, etc.

I base this on my experience. I also consume about 3 ml a day, and would get a couple of weeks on Smoktech cartos. I currently use Ikenvape cartos which last a little longer, but they are hard to get.

 

[Ladiekali]

Ok cool, im new to this one month in but so far all my juice has been clear or light in color. Sometimes it seems they get thick throughout the day... But ill count on 5 for the first month and that gives me a start.

I guess i should ask this does work on 510 thread? Or just ego?
I have vision spinner, itaste vv3 10s kit (510 only) and i just won a ego c
Will it be compatable with all? Think im going to get one ibtank with 5 cartos and a couple i clear 16's

Think i miht be afraid to leave the house with glass

The cartos are 510 thread, and will fit on Ego's also. The pyrex glass is surprisingly durable as long as the end caps are on the tubes to help protect it. From what I have read, when the tubes do break, it's when the tanks have been taken apart for cleaning and the glass gets dropped in a sink. My tanks have fallen 2 feet from a locker room bench onto tile floor. Also taken a few drops from my lap onto the driveway when I get out of my car. No cracks or shattered glass yet.

You'll probably want to get a couple extra carto's if you're still feeling things out, to account for user error and stuff since you're one month in. Atleast that's what I did, but back then I had more money than brains. ymmv.

Also, get verified, so you can participate in other areas of ECF like the PIF (pay it forward), buying & selling classifieds, and the general warm 'n fuzzy feeling you get from other members.

Welcome to a new chapter in your life, brother sister. I'm almost on my 13th month.

THIS made me laugh out loud. Been there, done that, hated it.

Glad to help a new vapor and new tank user out. I'm certain you are going to love the IBTanked, just as Rocketpunk loves his. He's been using Smoktech tanks up to now, and you read his reaction to his new IBTanked.

Got my first IBTank today and I am beyond impressed. I am definitely getting more of these. 28 bucks is so worth it.

Great. A new addiction.

 

[Ladiekali]

Yeah i spent awhile looking for bad reviews or anything negative and disnt find any.
It doesnt look too complicating, i love the look and colors and customizing. The big bonus no octopus stringy things to fiddle with lol.

I did recently stock up on diy juice supplies so im thinking my t4’s and i clear 16’s i still need those
But if this works and i like it i can prolly work one in a month! An the color combos look endless.

Location Specific <---- This is where you wanna be

Sadly, quality B&Ms in my area are few and far between unlike some folks who shall remain nameless so I can't comment on all of them all but I'm engaged to a 35-year old child and they let her in so that's probably the case with all of them, as long as they are accompanied by an adult.

Sorry about the gender snafu earlier. This is why I should just call everyone George

I tried clearos but got tired of filling tanks and basically having that tank for just that flavor...Got a 510 and fell in love..till it went dead..picked up another and a 306 and then a RBA and could not be happier!! a drip shield is a Must for Dipping but I think it is the best way to open the world into flavors/...

haha no problems... easy to do here

 

[Patkid]

Ladie,
the package I promised you went out today vs. Monday.
Let me know how you like it.
It will all work out.
There is just so much to learn.
Best.
Pat

Baditude, you just rocked this post for Ladiekali! Of course I chose to post last night right before bed. And worked the shift that never wanted to end today.

Ladie, what our friend Baditude says is spot on great advice. Him and I are a couple of the most die hard carto/tank vapers on here. I think the LR cartos will be great for you. Much much warmer than clearos.

Let us know what you decide to get! I also like valley view vapes tanks, but they take a while to ship. They also have periods of time where they have to shut down due to one of the owners having some health issues. If you wanna order a second tank, I highly recommend them. They have a cool side screw that you use to fill your juice. Makes is so easy, a caveman could do it!

PM any of us anytime if you get caught in a tough spot and can't figure something out. I have it set up to notify me via email if I get a PM on here.
