Looking for a new cartomizer

[Oroblram]

So for the past 3 weeks I've been using the BC Phoenix cartomizers and for the most part they're pretty ok but I've had issues with it leaking out of the bottom where the cartomizer screws into the battery. I was a light smoker so I'm kind of a light vaper too and fully filled Phoenix can last me anywhere from 3-5 days. I'm not sure if its because the juice is in there too long that it starts to leak or something but I thought I'd give something else a try and maybe I'll even find something that I'll like even more so I can really use some suggestions.

I'm using an ego twist and I really want something with a clear tank so I can see how much juice I have left. I don't want to guess as to when I need to refill or be notified by a burnt taste. Also, obviously I would like it not to leak on me after a couple days. Something simple to clean if I need to clean it and idiot proof so I don't break it if I need to take it apart to clean it.

Just a side note, I'm not sure if it's the Phoenix or that I get my juices 50/50 but the flavor seems to be kind of lacking so maybe a different cartomizer might fix that as well.

If you are a light vaper, you may want to look into dripping.

I've thought about that but I'm not really sure I want to constantly drip when I want to vape and also wouldn't be very convenient when I'm out. Also, I'm kind of lazy

Greetings from Canada! Welcome to ECF!

The Mini Vivi Nova seems to fill all of your requirements; doesn't leak, easy to clean and maintain, holds enough but not TOO much.

Try one out!

Relax, Enjoy!

You may want to try a Vivi Nova or Viva Nova (some vendors call them Vivi while some call them Viva). If you pay attention not to trap the wick strands when screwing, you should experience any leaking unless the tank has cracks.

The Mini Vivi Nova is one of the cartomizers I'm looking at but kind of on the fence with. I've read issues with the tank cracking with certain flavors?

I wasn't sure if there is another option but if nothing else I will probably get the Vivi Nova.

You can get tanks for them that will hold those juices. The only problem with that is that you can't see as easily when filling. The Nova tanks are so much better than anything else I have tried. I only had one leak and that was my fault. I have 4 of them and use them pretty much exclusively. Buy more than one, though. Never hurts to have a spare. Best deal I have found is Altsmoke. For 12.95, you get the Nova (regular or mini)plus 3 or 4 heads. They ship right away, too. I don't know if they have spare tank covers for sale, haven't looked. Good luck.

That deal has been $9.95 since Labor Day. The tank comes with a 2.4 ohm head and you can chose the ohms of the other 2 spare heads.

Enjoy!

The very best clear carto I have found is the Clear and Easy 2.0 Tanks from Cigeasy. They are an 808 thread so you would need a 510 to 808 adapter but these things are great. They hold 1 ml of juice and I have been using the same one for over a month with no cracks, leaks or any issues at all. I have not had any burnt or dry hits and they are easy to fill, they are the only thing I have found that is open, fill and vape no tweaking, modding or anything needed.

Alright, seems like the Vivi Nova is the one to get. I'll be picking that up once I get the chance.

I took a look at the Clear and Easy and I'll be keeping that in mind if the Vivi Nova doesn't quite do it for me.

Thanks for the help!

Good choice and as stated AltSmoke has them and replacement heads for sale. They are about 90 mins from my home and I went down, after starting with a V2 e-cig starter (good but not enough for me), and bought 2 eGo Twists and 2 Vivi's and use them daily. Also as stated if your light a dripping atty would also help at times where it's convenient. They have their LR atty's at AltSmoke and they work awesome and I can, as well many others, vouch for their products and services!

Just watch the voltage and rule of Ohms for your devices as it's easy to get wrapped up into something new and forgot what can and cannot work with your existing setups.

Cheers!

Yeah a dripping atty sounds like it would be about right for you. The Pheonix rebuildable atty is like 9 bucks from discountvapers.com. You would have to buy you some wick and coil and watch a few videos. But the Pheonix holds about 14-15 drops, which is basically about as much as a 35mm carto. Im looking in to getting one to test it out though, because Optimo posted that they are releasing a Pheonix XL which is easier to rebuild and is made better. Cheers.

 

[Shipmister]

Totally agree with the vivi

 

[Oroblram]

Yeah, maybe I'll pick up an atty to drip when I'm home, with the Vivi.
