I'll buy some, but I've heard there built a little flimsy.

I don't like the clear ones myself, they are flimsy...had one tube pop right off the connector while it was attached to my PV that I slid in my front pocket just to walk to my door from my car. So now I only use the metal ones.

Any good?????

they're good on the roughstack, but the provari is killing me. gonna have to bring that sucker to work cuz 3.7 isn't doing it for me. bout to get rid of the other stuff i have, just bought a second provari in the classies for 100(score)

i feel so bad bringing a provari to do tile work in the union though, cuz i sweat like crazy and sand and cement gets all over stuff inadvertently, i also have to worry about dropping the sucker on the cement floor :(

brought one today w/ my liquid metal tank and people look at me like i'm crazy haha.......and the carto is slightly loose in the tank too so that kinda sucks for my work day, gotta be careful so i don't slide the tank right off the carto

yeh they are a little flimsy, the glue on the base disconnects and then they are loose, they also crack. i got 27 of em in the classies for 40 bucks so i've been running through em. i might buy some SS ones though. vapor is great on em though

yeh i would say the only benefit is you can see your juice and how much is left, but the downsides may overplay the up.......especially if you carry in your pants pocket, i carry in my shirt pocket so not as bad, and they still break every once in a while(i just push it back down on the base and vape for the rest of the day)

question..............I received my tank a few weeks ago........stopped using it to go to Vegas and wanted to be incognito...........back home and to the tank...........removed the old carto and found only one cut in it..........it had a very tight draw...........I thought it was a bum carto...........very tight fit even with lubing the seals with e-liquid. It takes hubby, a non slip gripper and work to get caps off.......(I have rheumatoid arthritis and can't shake hands even....LOL) I have some cut cartos arriving soon but have a dremel, a tungsten cutter tip and steel 302s........now for the questions
1. Is my carto a dud? I used it a few hours, hard draw and one cut on one side
2. Should I attempt to cut my own...........is it easy enough or shall I wait?
Thanks for any help............the dang thing is so pretty and I wanna love it but vapor is real low and draw is too tight and I am sure it is user error in some way as I am a dunce

Thanks for any help and suggestions

It is the one that came with the tank............I assume it is Boge

I have Boge 302s on hand and CCV megas which are too long and a dual coil cearo..........boo and hoo

Oh woe is me with a tank I can not use atm that is so beautiful..........*peeks to see if sympathy is working*

i think it's an ikenvape maybe, that's what he sent out first i believe. all that joose:drool: and no carto to pop in the tank. where u at in s jersey? i bought an awl and clamps from lowes to punch mine but haven't tried it yet

Does that have a gold batt connector? If it does, its an Ikenvape. I find that over time the hole gets closed up in the carto from the filler swelling. This isn't just an Ikenvape issue, I've found that it happens with everything I've tried.
