Hi everyone, I recently purchased an IBTANKED complete tank 19mm standard tank. I wanted to try the Ikenvape cartomizers. I will be using this on my MVP. Any way, I am not sure what size to order. I believe I need the STANDARD size carto but I am confused by the names on the website. I was looking into the FUSION Series. Can anyone help me find the right size for my tank please?

Thank you

I am aware they are out of stock, just wanted to get ready so I can order when they come back.

Using the above graphic, if you purchased a "standard" length tank, the Ikenvape carto you want is the standard length Platinum cartomizers (35mm length). NOT the "mega" (45mm length) as that is Ikenvapes "XL" carto.

The Fusion series cartomizers are not offered in the standard/35mm length. They are available in the longer "mega" length in both 510 and 801 threads.


Below are direct links to the pre-punched cartomizers that are ready to be primed and used in a standard length cartotank. Both are recommended for 3.7 - 5 volt vaping:

510 Standard Resistance (2.8 ohm) Platinum punched! (slightly cooler vape)

510 Low Resistance (2.2 ohm) Platinum punched! (slightly warmer vape) https://www.ikenvape.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=PLATLRP

Great, thank you for the information and links. I was confused because I wanted to try the Fusion type. Now it makes sense, no standard in the fusion line. Thanks again.
If you really, REALLY wanted to try the 510 Mega Fusions in your standard tank, you could but about 10mm of the cartomizer would stick out of the top endcap like a very long drip tip. Purely an aesthetic issue, not one of functionality.

I know people who do this intentionally, including my ECF buddy Zapped. He uses Smoktek 45mm length cartos in his Phiniac standard length tank. :) I believe his reasoning is because he fills his cartotanks (wrong ;) ) by removing the top end cap off of the tube but not all the way off of the carto. He then adds e-liquid between the top cap and the tank tube.

Not a method that I personally recommend, because replacing the top cap via this refill technique could result in flooding the carto from the sudden increase of pressure inside the tank. But Zapped somehow gets away with it and has had success using that method. It keeps him off the smokes, so who am I to argue? :D

Besides, the endcaps of IBTanked are so tight on the pyrex tube that the above fill technique would be difficult to do on a regular basis.
