is there a chart for carto/clearo?

[Moosie]

I'm looking to find out if anyone seen a chart that gives the different elements of all the cartos and clearos? Like the joint fittings, wick or no, top or bottom head, etc. I remember better from charts than compiling individual bits of info and I'm trying to decide if I should just make one for myself or if someone else has already done it?

Thanks in advance.

Heck for that matter the same type of chart for other hardware would be nice too if anyone knows of one.

Probably not what you had in mind, but I made a picture dictionary of the more common juice delivery devices; includes pictures, description, and video of how to fill each one.

That is helpful! You are right that its not exactly what I was looking for, but it really did help.

So I'm trying to figure out if the bcc are similar to the vision mini's w/no wick? I love the way my mini works, not so much the tiny volume. I like my ce4 okay for volume, but hate the wicks. I was thinking I could get an evod, mt3 or possible the ce3(?) And they are like the mini but replaceable heads? Do I have that correct?

The Evods do have replaceable heads, and aren't bad on the fill. I have those and pro-tanks (if you don't mind it being top heavy and don't like to fill all the time they are great) Also, the replacements can be used for either the Evod or the Pro-tanks.

Your talking two styles of clearomizers, or clearotanks.

Top coil (or wicked) clearos are like the early Vision clearomizers and Vivi Nova tanks. They generally give a warmer vape due to their coils having a closer proximity to your mouth. A downside that they have is that these are fighting gravity; you need to tilt or swirl your juice to keep the wicks wet or you'll get dry or burnt vapes.

Bottom coil (or wicked) clearos are the more recent Kanger ProTanks and Evods. They generally give a cooler vape due to their coils being located at the bottom of the tank and the vapor having a slightly farther distance to travel before reaching your mouth. Since the wicks are located in the bottom of the tank, they are not fighting gravity as they stay wet automatically until the tank is empty. No need to tilt or swirl.

Thanks baditude! I think the thing that throws me off is I don't physically see the wicks on the bottom clearos like I do on the top ones. I've got a ce4 I got with a kit and the damned wicks are so long the curl at the bottom of the tank and I can't really empty it. (Ignoring the fact that its not rebuikdable/replaceable as its a regular ce4 of course).

I think I'll stick with the evod or mt3 if I like the cape once they arrive. The pro tank mini looks really cool, but I'd rather have the extra .5ml of space the other two reportedly offer. I'll consider a pro tank if I decide to do cinnamon juice or something that needs glass. . Thanks for the help

CE3s are bottom coil, non-changeable head, small, cigalike sized, only hold about 1ml of liquid, and have to be filled with a syringe. But, after all that, I like 'em. But if you are looking for a clearo with more capacity and easier filling, I'd consider a different type.

I think the CE4s come with short or long wicks. The ones I have are the short wick type, the wicks don't quite reach the bottom. This is the only type of CE4 I've had. They came with my starter kit and I haven't purchased any others.
