Can it really be almost 2 months since I wrote this?
In true Katz fashion, I have a drawer of blank & pre-filled cartomizers that hardly ever are touched these days. Tanks rule my vaping world !
My tanks are filled & re-filled throughout the day. Hardly ever a mess (note I said hardly ever
) True to form, the cartomizers don't last as long for me as they seem to for others, but I can live with it. Instead of getting through up to 10 cartos a day that then needed washing, drying & re-filling, I have 4 tanks in use and the cartos last maybe 5 days like that, then I toss them. (only using 2 flavours, the only reason for 4 tanks is I can't bring myself to use the 6ml tanks (yet) so I like to have 2 tanks of each flavour on the go). This has revolutionised my vaping habits & routine, made things much easier. Early problems with seating the carto in the tank were with the black plastic cap tanks - the metal cap ones don't have a specific alignment, so no more problems with that. Had my first carto 'gurgle' & die. Had my first tank leakage as a result of a dead carto - yes, just the one leakage!!!
I still think the tanks are ugly. I haven't used the 6ml tanks because I think they'll look even uglier (note that I do have 3 x 6ml tanks
)
1.5ohm cartos - they give me what I want. Did try the 2ohm but they don't do it for me.
I use XL manual batteries - I was hitherto a fan of the autos, especially the shorties. I've adapted to the manuals - while I'd still prefer not to have to press a button, they give a better result with the tanks.
For a while there I still took auto batteries & regular cartomizers when going in the car etc, but lately I've just grabbed a battery+tank & spare battery when leaving the house. So much easier.
Oh, I was right; DH was scathing about the tanks - for a while he did not comment, but when he did, whoa! He hates them.
So there you go, after 2 months, tanks are my vaping nirvana. Next stop? Is that a vv I see before me in my crystal ball ....
Remember, Never say Never - just say not yet....
I can tell you, dear friends, that my first attempt at tank filling was about as messy & accident ridden as my first attempt at filling my own cartomizers...
Let's just say I also had to apply the information from the tutorial about 'topping up' immediately, and I am glad I was not using a favourite battery for the experiment. Also glad I had a stack of paper towel nearby.
...I can see the attraction of tanks for chain-vapers of 1 or 2 flavours, like myself. Instead of having to fill heaps of cartos, clean them & refill, this is just one thing to fill, clean & refill. Once I get the hang of it, I am sure it will be less messy. ..
It's just so ugly though! So out of proportion for an elegant KR808D, this large protruberance with icky looking liquid glooping around. That, and I am not a fan of Manual batteries. It's something I might use on a quiet day at home, like today, when no-one else will see it. I'll also be hiding it away in my desk for when my DH & DD get home (DH is rather scathing of the whole vaping thing, he thinks it's absurd, so the tank would really annoy him)...
