Mini Tanks - My Questions & Your Opinions Wanted

[FlutterBlu]

Hoping everyone's day was vaporlicious!

First, I gotta {{{{hug}}}} Diva.
​

Alrighty, so I've been smoke free for what, just about a full month now? (yay! ) After reading some comments/topics, I'm considering trying mini tanks with my G6. My questions center around your opinions as to how ya'll think I would do using the mini tanks, since I have been using and have been happy with the cartos? For me, the cartos have been very easy to use -- I always have several pre-filled and ready to go. In the evenings I sit and look over what I have on hand, refill what I have been vaping during the day and either continue with that carto, or switch to a different flavor that I'll use into the next day. Can you keep a few mini tanks pre-filled and ready for use, or do you have to fill them only as you are going to use them? Is there really that much of a noticeable difference in flavor and/or amount of vapor using mini tanks vs. cartos?
Your feedback, wisdom, and experience is much appreciated, thank you!

I have had mini tanks filled for a couple weeks, not a problem. Like all the juice, keep it out of sunlight or harsh light.

In my opinion, I thought the mini was better than the cartos, however, I was using a 650 Triton battery, not a G6. But I thought the vapor and flavor were superior to a carto. If it had juice, it hit well. I found my cartos would just fade.

In your next order, get a couple of them. Stay away from the smoke color, that plastic seems to crack easier than the others, but that is sorta just base on a few others posting about them. And it's not like you are investing in a $80 russian tank thing. They are four bucks. And you will totally get your money's worth.

They do seem to hit hotter than a Triton tank, in my opinion. Juices like belgian cocoa don't tolerate the minitanks well. But Torque or Malibu and even Mystic did well in them. Give them a try.

I've never used cartos of mini tanks, but I suggest you try one as a $4 experiment the next time you order juice.

Thank you Dave and chesty. ^.^

And yea, I read about the smoke colored ones and had already decided those would definitely be out! Ah, and that is one thing I really wanted to know about -- having them filled ahead of time, thank you! I have my special Caboodle Train Case box for my stuffs, so keeping them out of the light won't be a problem. Anndddd, Gary (my darling) decided just tonight that he definitely wants to try and get of the smokes (he is seeing how good I've been feeling! ), so when the retirement pay comes in on the first, I'll be ordering juices and equipment.

Thanks so much guys, this has helped a lot! I'll order some mini tanks and give it a go!

awesome that gary wants to quit. gary the goat is my favourite goat on facebook. don't look him up if you don't like crude humour. gary's owner is a pretty typical outback aussie character.

0.o Gary, the Goat? ...lol! Sounds cute but I don't know much about Facebook as we don't have any accounts there.

We try and keep a small amount of money on hand for emergencies -- since it is so close to the first of the month we decided it would be alright to use that for a pre-paid card to get the order in (so I got to use that discount for Starter Kits! ) -- last time I tried doing this for Gary, I got 18mg liquids for him and he said it was too strong (got a slight dizzy feeling), so this time I've gone with the 12mg annddddd, ordered some mini tanks too! Thanks again guys! =^.^=

New questions: (no edit button on my first post)


Okay, got that order today and now have some mini tanks (yay!) -- First thing I've noticed is that it seems to use the juice faster? (I have not changed how much I'm vaping) ...Dave, you already let me know I could fill a few ahead of time and just store them out of the light, so, it's okay if they are stored on their side, yes? I ask since these don't have any sort of covers/sleeves like the cartos (don't want to loose precious juice!).

The wicks don't hang down very far ...do I need to refill these more often so that juice does not get too close to the bottom? Or is it alright for the juice to go a ways below the wicks?

Thank you so much for the help!!

From my mother's experience, when she switched from carto's to mini tanks, her consumption increased about 40%.
It was explained that it was easier to draw, more vapor per draw and it tasted better to her.
Hence the increase.

Oh! And they are so much easier to fill for her, that I just fill the one she is using when it gets low. No need for spares. Just a bottle of juice and a dropper.

The wicks get wet each time she holds it up to her mouth, so no need to fill too soon.

 

[FlutterBlu]

THAT'S where I remember reading something about increased liquid usage because of the better vapor!

Yes, they are definitely a lot easier! Thank you so much for the info Doc! =^.^=

 

[DaveOno]

Flutter, storing upright is preferred, but shouldn't be a problem on it's side.

(and with how good juices are in it, why store them???)

And Doc is correct, the action of taking a hit will wet the wicks. I have vaped minis and Tritons virtually dry. But if you see them low, top them off.

 

[FlutterBlu]

I don't know for sure that I would necessarily have any filled and ready to go on a regular basis, Dave. But of course, since this is the first time I've bought any I just HAD to try out all the flavors I left, to check what it was like using juices in the mini tanks!
