Having a leaking issue j! oh no! its leaking from the underneath the catch cup near where the two boxes are joined. i see wetness along the crack where the boxes are connected and it pools up on the desk. not sure how this happened, but the catch cup is loose and wiggly. btw, it just started doing this yesterday. it worked perfectly for a couple weeks since i got it. awesome mod tho, just need to get it sealed back up.

id be happy to take a look, send me a pm.

Anywhere between 5.3 and 5.8 depending on my mood. I buy the cheapy ones from cov. They seem to last me te longest for some reason.

I'm the same way. I have ikenvape and other nice brand of atomizer, and they seem to die or lose preformance so fast. I have a 306lr and a 510lr from madvapes from like 3 or 4 months back, and with routine cleanings there still pumpin. Not like new mind you, but my 3.7v box mod can still make my 510lr sing. The 306lr needs more love, so it goes on the Army tank for a boost lol.

I agree Creniker, I will use up my lr's and then order some 2.5's and run them at higher voltages. My understanding is that lr's should not be run over 4.5 volts while 2.5's would increase the voltage range up to 6v's. Am I correct in this assumption?

Not necessarily, a 2.5 ohm atty will work great at 5V but won't do well if you go over that. It will taste burnt which isn't what you want. If you REALLY want something that would work great at 6V than you would need a 3 ohm atomizer.

:p I got one ordered, 4-5 weeks :cry:
But my Christmas is coming EARLY :banana:
Can't wait :pop:
I was gonna wait for the VV Reo's that are suppose to be
in the making, but I like the "Tank"
Besides EVERYONE seems to have a Reo, Not everyone
has a "TANK" :vapor:
What are the best carto's for it? IYO
iatty? I have been keeping up with this thread so I may
need to reread it cause I think that was discussed already.
Any new up to date info on these?

Congrats! You can use any carto you want. That's the beauty of VV mods.

Hey there jmarkus,
Got my Army Tank, and have been vaping it a couple of weeks. Wanted to give it a good run before the ol' Siskel and Ebert. Gotta say, two thumbs up on all fronts. This thing is hitting hard! Much improved over version1, and has joined the vape line up full time. Good work, and I will be watching for future versions. Thanks.

right, but know that an SR 901 is generally 3.0 Ohm and it will work anywhere from 3.4 to 4.4 just fine; its the nature of 901's.
an SR 510 (2.3 to 2.5 Ohm) will work anywhere from 3.4 to 4.++ as well, like you say.
An HV 3.5 and up will take the 5v and up voltages..
I like the SR range myself, because you have the most leeway and it really kicks .... without cranking it to the max.

Ya know, this is the only thing vaping wise that I have ordered that I have had zero anxiety over getting. I don't know what it is about this little Gem, but I just feel very very comfortable with my order and very patient with the wait time on getting it. Maybe I am just really getting cozy with vaping and don't feel like I am at any risk what so ever of going back to tobacco or maybe I just KNOW deep down that this is just that perfect device that I have been looking for. Thus far the closest I have come to perfection is my Provari so I am convinced that VV is pretty much what I need to order nowadays to be satisfied :D But I am so secure in this Mod that I am just kicking back, vaping like a champ and standing by with 2 LR 306 atty's, one 3 ohm 306 atty and four 2.4 ohm 510 atty's just standing in the magazine waiting for deployment on this Bad Boy :D

That's true.
