MAP tank vs Fluxomizer

[Disparaging Shriek]

Hi everyone! I have been vaping and analog free for a couple of weeks, and I need (see: want)to order new stuff soon. I love my ego-t but it seems to flood all the time. The other issue is that the tank attys hurt the wallet. A lot. I have been looking at the MAP mod and the fluxomizer. Would either of these be suitable for my battery? I have 2 Riva 510 750mAh batts and a Joye 1000mAh batt. I don't know what to do! Opinions and knowledge please! Thanks! (other suggestions more than welcome!)

As long as the threads are 510's they will work fine on both the riva and ego.

fluxomizers/clearomizers and MAP tanks (the map basically uses the same guts but just a bigger tank) will definately work on your Riva battery. Rivas are 3.7v devices so you may want to get the middle or low range resistance for them. Some love the clearomizers, some dont. I enjoy them. Others say the MAP tanks work a lot better as there is more room for the wicks to get juice up to the coil. I haven't had a chance to get one yet, though I have been pleased with the clearomizers I already have.

The clearomizers, however, are fragile. it is possible to knock the tank loose and spill the contents. Or, in my experience, I had a small crack that i didnt notice until my pocket was soaked. Just pointing out some things to be aware of. I say give them a shot, so much of vaping is personal preference. Hope this helps.

Edit: Also be aware that filling them is a little more involved. Typically you will need a syringe (they come with a little plastic needle to use). It's nothing difficult, but just another issue to be aware of.

I love the Fluxomizers and use them on my eGo and Riva (650, 900 & 1000). I've wanted to try the MAP, but they haven't had them in stock.

Thanks everyone! You are all so helpful, even if it's only personal preferences. I tend to be clumsy and my cat also likes to knock my pv off of the couch, table etc. when he wants to play. (He thinks its his laser pen) I should probably go with something neither of us will break, so I guess the flux/clearo is out. Anyone know about the durability of the MAPs? (So sorry if I get annoying)

I am somewhat of a clutz sometimes, but I have dropped riva, ego, infinities, etc with clearomizers attached and they work just fine.....I always think when I go to pick them up ..oh jeez, I probably broke something,,,,but nope. Just sayin..

Thanks SAS!! That makes me feel better. I wasn't this clumsy when I was an awkward teen, and it's not fun. I figure, if I cant avoid walking into door-jams and walls daily I should avoid fragile things. At least I'm not as likely to break them as I thought. Hahaha.

Clear CE2s are awesome. I've had a one crack when i dropped my mod down some stairs. Working on making a my own tank mod with the guts

I'd say go for the MAP tank. With your kind of Ecig I would try to grab a Mini MAP tank. Just be aware that these are very hard to get your hands on at the moment. Bruce from Cloudofvapors.com said he is probably gonna have a few go up on his website on Monday... that will be what is left from the 400 he is bringing at Vapefest. You could always try to post on the classifieds and swaps forums.

Now all of this being said, the MAP tank isn't the only home made tank system made. Probably the most reliable at the moment but not the only one. An ECF member is currently making Storm Tanks, which have been getting good reviews. They can also be fitted with leds .....bling bling!!!

Another thing you should look out for is for a new type of tank that should come out in the following weeks. The GP SSR Reservoir. It's from Goodprophets.com. They claim they will hold more and won't leak. So you should probably be lurking their website.

GoodProphets.com - Your view into the world of vaping...

And finally, (lol yeah everyone seems to be getting on the Tank bandwagon) another forum member that used to do his own tank mods and would sell them told me that he is working on a new tank system that will revolutionize how we use our ECigs and how we view tanks. He says they are going to be incredible. Now let's just wait and see, but he said we could expect to see some pop up soon. Now that being said, since it's a member I am not going to disclosure his name so he doesn't get flooded with PM's but you will probably hear about it when they come out.


As far as fluxos go, If you are going to try them out be sure to pick up the new Clearomizers E2 rev 6's that arrived a few days ago. they are supposed to be allot better than the old ones.
Just note that it is known that the clearomizers/fluxomizers are sometimes made of very cheap plastic that will crack at times. Also some flavors will make them disintegrate... (Apple, citrus, cinnamon an others will make the plastic become very fragile and if you only apply a slight pressure the plastic will crack)
This might have changed with the Rev 6 's , but I highly doubt it, since they only claim to have changed the tips, and the wicks.
I have heard they are also a PITA to fill. ( all of them)

Heavens to Betsy! Thanks for all that info. I'm going to have to do more research now. Incredibly helpful, and I am now on the edge of my seat about the super secret new tank mod. That was the perfect mix of good information and evil teasing.

 

[kingpin2323]

I just tried the fluxomizers i wasnt so pleased with them they leak pretty easily and a pain to fill.

betsy?! lol!!

It makes me feel like an old lady. I'm preparing for the future. Also, since we aren't supposed to use foul language here, I may as well be silly.

Agreed!

blahablahablahbalha post filler so i have enough words... blabalablah

 

[Disparaging Shriek]

There is a minimum word requirement? Awesome. Antidisestablishmentarianism. I think I settled on the Storm Tank for now. I like pretty glowy things that feed me nicotine. Now, where is the emoticon of the face that has glazed over eyes and drools...

You will be happy with CloudBurst's tank mods. She does a really good job. I have 10 of both sizes. Good choice!

 

[Disparaging Shriek]

Awesome!!! Now for my moneh to get here... I love your kitty pic BTW.

 

[Krang]

kittehs ftw.... btw hairball.. how many rev 6's did you get?
