My first cartotank...chose an IBtanked

[danny.t]

Hey folks,

I have been interested in cartos for awhile now and decided to try one out. I did some research (mainly combing through different threads on this forum) and I decided to go with an IBTanked solution with smoketech 2ohm 2-hole cartos.

I also picked up an MVP2

What a difference from the MT3s I've been using for a long time now!

I find that the flavor comes through more, a bit cooler too.

OLD SETUP
Ego Twist
Kanger MT3s
2.5ohm stock coil
Vaped at 4.2V which would equal to 7.056W

NEW SETUP
MVP2
IBTANKED
2.0ohm Smoketech 2-hole
Started at 9.5W which equals to 4.3589V

Over the last few days I found a couple things that I can't figure out....

1) I am eating through way more juice than the clearomizer (MT3s) I was using. Is this normal?

2) I can't get the same throat hit as I did with my clearomizer (MT3s). As you can see on my setup above, even at 9.5W I still can not get the same throat hit, its almost non existant. I am using the same juice in both. If i crank the MVP2 to 11W, the highest setting, I start get a bit of hit.


If im not painting a good picture let me know..

Thanks!

I've been using carto tanks for just about 2 years now, and yes for some strange reason cartos will use more liquid. I've always used 100%PG or 80%PG/20%VG, VG will mute throat hit and flavor, and VG makes me cough.

Ah, you reminded me

I'm using 65/35 mount Baker vapor

Ya if I could figure out why I'm not getting the same throat hit...

Other than that I love the quality of both ibtanked and the mvp2. A nice step up from the basic ego setup.

I actually prefer the lack of throat hit from a cartotank. Cartotanks provide more flavor and vapor than a clearomizer.

Throat hit by and large is determined by the juice (primarily the concentration of nicotine and to a lesser degree a higher percentage of Pg in the liquid). You may need to increase both for more throat hit.

I would suggest using voltage mode as opposed to power (wattage) mode and use higher voltages for a warmer vape, which you may experience as more throat hit.

Some people prefer a low resistance single coil or low resistance dual coil cartomizer for more hit.
