In over my head

[KalNoodle]

Hello all!
I'm still new to all of this (even tho my join date is last year), but I really like the idea of a tank system. I just don't know where to start. I have a standard eGo-T setup right now with cartomizers and I'm kinda sick of topping them off every couple minutes. What would you recommend for a beginner? I'm hoping to catch some deals for Black Friday/Cyber Monday, but I still can't really afford anything over $20.

Thanks in Advance!

This, IKV Fusion Tank 6ml
A few of these, IKV 510 Platinum Punch! Cartomizer STD
And enjoy! Pop the drip tip off, slide the tank up the carto about 1/2", fill the tank, slide it back down and put the drip tip back on! I've been hearing GREAT things about his "Punch" cart's and I'll probably be going back that way myself. I have a similar setup with 808 and cheap 510 cartos, then got a Vivi Nova. I like the carto tanks much better! They are easier, last a long time and don't mute the flavors like the Vivi's seem to.

I think I'm looking for something smaller than that. I want it look nice with my eGo. Plus I don't need something that holds 6 mls of juice. Thanks for the recommendation tho!

Here's a 3.5ml on sale, http://www.smokerevolt.com/35-ml-510-Dual-Coil-Tank-_p_14.html But I don't find the 6ml tanks that large for me.
Another option is to look at Ikenvapes site for the mega carto's, they hold quite a bit more than the standard carts. But I don't think you will be as happy with them as you would a tank.

Thanks! One other thing I'm concerned about is using a dual coil. I've read that a single coil will work the same as a dual, but doesn't use as much of your battery charge. Is this true?

Yes, it's burning almost as hot, but the battery doesn't see as much of a load, DCT's are great on low voltage!
Here's the tank on it's own, then you can buy better carts for it, http://www.smokerevolt.com/35-ml-510-Dual-Coil-Tank-Tube-_p_143.html

Awesome! Thank you so much!

The tanks offered above will work, but they do come with dual coil cartomizers which will drain your batteries faster on an eGo battery, and with no real benefit over a single coil cartomizer. I recommend getting just the tube and endcaps alone, and buying single coil pre-punched cartos elsewhere.

I highly recommend getting a tank that has a pyrex glass or polypropylene plastic tube. Certain flavors, such as cinnamon and citris flavors, can actually crack or melt the clear polycarbonate plastic tubes that were recommended in the posts above me. Another kind of plastic known as polypropylene, is immune to all juice effects. It is always frosted in appearance.

My Vapor Store offers the safer polypropylene-tubed tanks at the link below. The slim tanks look good on an eGo battery. They hold 3.5ml of juice. All you need after that is a drip tip and some pre-punched cartomizers of the XL or 45mm length. I recommend the Ikenvape Mega Punched cartos below.

Tank tube and caps: Pro DCTank Tube $8.55

Drip tips: Drip Tips E Cigarette $3 or more

Ikenvape Mega Platinum punched cartomizers:

Be sure to watch the video below on how to fill a cartotank to avoid any flooding or leaking issues. The following link is a current list of flavors and juice vendors whose e-liquids have cracked or melted polycarbonate clear tubes and clearomizers:
