Map Tanks Question...

[themysterious1]

Im looking into the Map tanks and was wondering if anybody has one and if they work well? I am kinda confused at the different models are they for different types of hardware? I would be looking to use my ego-t battery so how do I tell how many ohms I am getting outta my battery its a 650mAh I need to find out before I can do anything I know there is none in stock right now but would like to know some info about them so when they do come in stock I can order one. I just like the way they look.LOL Heres the link if anybody could help me out. Thanks I know I have had ALOT of questions lately and I appreciate all the help.


MAP Tank Mods

I love my MAP tank. I use a 2.8 on my ego. If I go lower the it is to hot for me personally. It is just a personal preference. Mine does not leak, others have said they have leaking issues. One tank lasts me a couple of day with great vapor and flavor.

I own 2 map tanks and use them on eGo batteries. LOVE them!!! You are going to want to use the 3.2 ohm ce2's in your map. The best way to get a map tank is to click on that NOTIFY ME! button on the COV website. You will have to watch your email because once those emails go out, the maps disappear pretty quickly, they are hard to come by, I feel blessed that I have been able to get 2 of them, I got the big ones, not the mini's. I just dont want to mess with stuff more than needed. What I found is the big one holds up to 5ml, but I only put 4 ml in it. It lasts me all day and sometimes a bit more than a day. When it's empty, I clean it and it's brand new again. My first map tank ce2 lasted me about 3 weeks before I had to replace it, and it would have lasted me a bit longer had I not broken the wick, the ce2 was still in working order.

Bottom line... I highly recommend a map tank!! Worth every penny! No more carts and filler mods, no more tanks and dry hits or leaking and expensive attys. Dont get me wrong, I still own the eGo-T's, and use them occasionally, but I keep them more for converting others to vaping as I lend them out for smokers to try, but the attys cost more than they are worth in my opinion. I can get a 5 pack of ce2 XL's for about $12 which is the cost of 1 eGo tank atty, and I can fill up my map tank and not mess with it ALL DAY. To me, this is a no-brainer.

I have to disagree and would say the 2.8 CE2 is the best of the best for the Maptanks.!!!

 

[Sassyonemeis]

the 2.8 on a 650 batt?? would need 2 batts to get thru a day me thinks!

*edit* I do have the 2.8 map too... I prefer the 3.2... and yes, it's always comes down to personal preference

If you have the time I'd suggest giving this thread a read. It's at 60 pages, but it answered most of my questions before I got the MAP Tank.

Got the 2.8ohm MAP and couldn't be happier with it!

The battery has nothing to do with the resistance of the atomizer ('number of ohms').
The resistance of the atomizer and the voltage of the battery determines the energy output in watts (heat in this case). The battery voltage and atomizer resistance work in concert according to the equation V=IR (V = volts I = amps R = resistance). Then, the wattage is defined by VI=W (v = volts I = amps w = output in watts).


SO, with the tornado battery with a 3.2ohm atomizer you get:
(3.7v = I * 3.2ohm) thus I = 1.156 amps, then 3.7V * 1.156amps = 4.227 watts


And, with the tornado battery and a 1.7ohm atomizer (thats the resistance of the tornado-t low res atomizer). You get:
(3.7v = I * 1.7 ohm) thus I = 2.176 amperes, then 3.7v * 2.176amps = 8.051 watts


SO you can see easily the relation here, if you want more power output you can either: a) raise the battery voltage OR b) decrease the resistance of the atomizer.
My personal experience is with my tornado-t and the low res (1.7ohm) tornado-t atomizer and I can tell you that the low res atomizer is MUCH better than the standard one.

WOW thanks I have NO idea what all that means but Thanks. If I am reading this right you are suggesting the 3.2 than? Thanks to everybody else also.

 

[Sassyonemeis]

I am not a stupid person, but when it comes to electricity stuff, I'm a tard. I cant easily see anything you were trying to say other than maybe you backed up MY POINT that using a lower ohm atty will result in shorter battery life of the eGo 650 battery that this person is intending to use.

The battery has nothing to do with the resistance of the atomizer ('number of ohms').

blahblahblahblah

[themysterious1]

Thanks for all the helpful info.

 

[OldDragon]

Don't know if I would want a map or not. Right now I'm having real good luck using the CE2's xl(which is the same as the map uses) but I also like switching flavors with each change of ce2. On ones that large I wouldn't get enough flavor changes within a day.

I have a couple. I use 3.2 at 5 volts, and also 2.8 though I prefer that at 3.7 volts. They take some playing with, are not great if you are someone who knocks about your pv a lot because the bottom delrin does easily come off but you are not one who constantly crams their pv in their pocket/purse/lets it drop on the floor nonstop, then it is a fun little gadget. It isn't going to be an all the time thing for me, I still prefer my cartomizers for that but I will admit, it does have a place. There is lots of info under the clouds of vapor forum in the vendors section and I'd recommend reading about them in that particular section to get the best answers and tips/tricks for using them.

They do require a little fuddling and some patience as I have learned, if you are good with that, they are easy to use.
I do recommend seeing the video on how to cut your own fillers, it is cheaper that way and is not difficult at all.

ETA: They are perfect if you don't change flavors. If you like to vape several different flavors, try the clearomizers first.

Thanks I will check the forums over there also. I dont mind vaping one juice a day I dont need to change that often.

 

[AmyB66]

Vendor sections can be of great help when you have particular questions, especially about a particular item with only one manufacturer, distributor. Just keep scrolling down. He's a bit towards the bottom of the list. List order is based upon order they became a reg. supplier here, nothing else.

Thevendor subforums are also good to really go dig through so you can get an idea about their service and how they take care of their customers.

 

[ninogui]

I would also like to test a map tank from cov. But they are always out of stock, even when I get the stonk in email when I get there.. never available.!

 

[Sassyonemeis]

I have the opposite issue, it is difficult to get the tube off the bottom delrin LOL. And I'm actually happy about this as I do not mess with filling it with a syringe thru the microscopic holes in the silicon cap, I just take the whole top delrin cap off and fillerup. These are all handmade units so there will be some variances in each one. Funny what a .005 tolerance will do! I have only had one leak into the drip tip because I left it on its side. Now I just stand them up or lean them against something else to keep the tip elevated, not a big deal at all. I may try using the top silicon cap from inside the ce2 (the one that sits atop the silicon atty cap) to see if this clears up even that problem, but keeping it upright is such a non issue to me and one less little cap to have to deal with is a good thing.

 

[Sassyonemeis]

Yes, they do go very fast, keep trying with the NOTIFY ME! button and you will get one just be diligent about checking your email, the vendor is pretty good about giving advance warning of approximately when he will have more stock if you check on the vendor thread.

[AmyB66]

Sassy, you are so right about the variances. They are subtle but there. My issue on the one tack was actually getting the ce2 unit out of the bottom cap. It was a battle, no matter how many videos I watched. My bottoms on both are loose, makes it a trick to even unscrew the map off my battery as the tank will spin but not the cap. If they continue to get looser, I do know Bruce will come up with a fair solution to take care of it for me. I do not recommend washing the caps in hot hot water as I suspect that softened up the o-ring on the cap. I didn't think of it till after the fact when we were discussing tight fitting drip tips and my solution to that is to heat them up so the o-ring becomes softened.

Like I said, they take some fuddling and some acceptance of the small imperfections. It is a nice system but it will have flaws and one has to totally understand that when they get one.

Funny thing is the vape is different. Some co-workers actually said my juice smelled bad as in funky when I use the map tank, used a carto and they said whatever I was vaping smelled much better. Same juice. Hmmmm....

 

[Sassyonemeis]

It could be the perception of the unit itself. The map is less appealing visually than a carto, and it will affect perception. Same as 10 people can witness the same car accident and they will have 10 different accounts of what happened.

I have been using the CE2 clearomizers on a ego/tornado batt up until I got my SD MKII but the 2.8-3.0 ones worked well on the nado IMO. One thing about the lower resistance is the hotter the atty burns and thus the faster you use juice. I have read that people having issues with wicking increased the ohms of their atty's or lowered the voltage of their devices and had less issues
