Mornin you guys... I've been watching videos about the Phiniac tanks... have you seen these?? Anybody have any experience with them? They look awesome! I'm not sure I understand totally how the whole system works.. but these sure do look nice, if they don't leak all over.. and wonder if they'd work on my kGo??

The external thread on the XX line of cartos protrudes from the carto, just like on a standard 510 carto. The EMDCC threads are recessed inside the skirt of the carto. The EMDCC carto skirt screws right up to the band on the battery, giving a seamless look. The XX line does not cover up the threads on the battery, leaving a visible gap between the battery and carto connection.

oh geez,I feel like such a dummy - for whatever reason, I thought you were referring to the filling material, not the connector threads lol

I haven't seen the phiniac tanks, but an going to look it up. I did finally fill my tank last night, and I think thats my new go to piece... It holds 3.5ml, I haven't had a single dry hit, and I haven't had to futz with it at all - no topping off, no worries. I will be ordering more - I like no hassle vaping :D:p

Hello and Happy Friday!

Speaking of clearomizers, I am going to buy me a rainbow pack of these LED clearos just for use when I am out and about...they sure look purdy! LOL Cheeky, one of these could be a stylin alternative for you when you are out vs the ones you have that are turning black and dark inside!

Cheeky, they come in different sizes. I think the smaller ones are supposed to hold, like, 2.5 mls. What kind of tanks do you use? I don't want ones that leak. No muss, no fuss. Jammin, have you tried clearomizers?? What are they exactly?? They kinda look like a tank.. I think I really like the looks of those! And those phiniacs.. you can have them custom engraved,, with your name and a picture.. they're pricey fer sure, but if they don't leak they'd last about forever.. I emailed the company and asked if they'd fit on the kGo.. haven't gotten a response yet..

The neon rainbow clearos in my pic are like a traditional carto minus the filler. You just fill 'em up and they have a wick down the center I do believe (i have used clearos before, but not the neon ones but I think they are the same).

1st i started off using ecblends to i love them :) made 4 orders in 3 weeks
2nd i to have a kgo and love it
3rd if you want a good clearo get the ego vision clearo aka stardust they are amazing there around 5 bucks but they last awhile easy to fill and taste and vapor is good :)

stoggy - I obviously love ECBlends too, but you have me beat! I've only placed 2 orders in 2 weeks (but have 20+ bottles lol)
2.) the kGo is great! How is your battery life? One of mine is okay, other is only lasting about 3h, which is really irking me!
3.) you're the 3Rd person to recommend the stardust (Jammin, isn't this the other carto you recommended?) -where do you order yours, and how much juice do they hold?

My kgos last me about 5-7 hrs but i switch them out often so usually then never die i order mine from gotvapes GotVapes VISION eGo Stardust ™ 1.6ml Top Coil Carto 2.2-2.5 ohm [gv-visionstardust-2.2] - $6.25 : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more sold out atm but they restock them often

Looks like you are using the LR stardust clearo's...what batt do you use with that? I ordered the standard resistance, and wondered if I should try low resistance next time. I have an EGO and an EGO-T batt. Will they work better with LR or SR? do you know? Thanks!
