Is there a tank system that does not need wicking??? Just a coil and tank ?

Just curious why you are afraid of wicks?

I think many people get frustrated with cartos or string-wicked delivery devices if they use particularly thick, troublesome flavors such as Boba's Bounty. I've come across a lot of vapors whose all day vape is Boba's and they require a new carto daily.

I've had a lot of problems with that flavor myself in a cartotank. It doesn't really matter how many holes you put in the carto (I've had as many as 4 tool-punched holes), it will still stop wicking well after the first tankfull.

I believe the issue is the notorious thickness of the 100% vg, but also that juice has a large amount of particulate matter suspended within it that doesn't get vaporized by the heating elements, accumulates in the tank and quickly clogs up the filler of the carto, rendering it unable to wick properly.

These types of juices require a wickless delivery system. I've begun recommending like-vapors to check into bottom feeders, the AMP tank or Killer atty, or the Vape Mate if they 'Vape for Boba's.'

It was in an IBTanked for that pic but I have moved it to a 7ml tank with a sidefill plug...makes it much easier. Any of the side/top fill plug tanks would work well with the Killer. The Kir Fanis Trap tanks are very popular with them. There is a short learning curve but I was vaping happily in about 15 minutes after I started with mine. Without a fill plug you have to remove the bottom cap and adapter to fill...pita. With a plug tank you just fill through the fill hole. It is a rebuildable but I bought extra cups and wicks to make things easier. Yes they are 4 bucks each but they last for a long time if you avoid dry burning the wick too much. My first wick lasted through 6 tank refills and I burnt it by accident or it would still be good. (got to be careful with touch switches)

I bought mine from Greek Vapes KILLER 705

Thanks you pretty much guessed my situation.

Im currently only using Bobas and Gorilla J . Im using a kanger protank. It all works 100% perfectly together.

I should just be happy that everything works fine. But im after that next upgrade.

Im just trying to decide what I want to do next in my vaping carrier.

AT this point im thinking Z-atty U will be my next step. Edit If im able to figure out how to safely use it without having to also get a provari as that would really be out of my price range as a whole.
2nd edit My battery is SLB eGo-V v2 MEGA 1200mah PassThrough eGo 3.0-6.0v
other than an ohm reader would I be able to use this battery with a Z-atty U?

Short answer - No
even dripping atomizers have a wire Mesh surrounding the coil to hold liquid.

Turns out there's a reason for that. I pulled all the bridging and wicking out of a couple of my Cisco LR 306s and... They don't work very well. They just don't retain fluid, for obvious reasons.

Now, maybe with a bottom feeder...

I bet you would smoke your battery trying to learn how to setup the mesh atty. A cheap mechanical mod would be much batter along with a multimeter and some high drain batteries. The mechs actually work better for these types of attys because you can go low resistance.
