Need suggestions...buying tomorrow

[Southern Tina]

I know I asked about carto's the other day. I'm nervous about buying from different sites cause I want them to fit with the tank.

So, what's a good tank and good carto to go with it. I don't want to spend a lot. I use 70/30 and am looking for the most flavor and throat hit.

Also, I want to buy a couple of good (mainly PG) liquids. What is a good website for that? I know there are different preferences but I'm looking for something new. I like fruity/sweet/dessert flavors mostly. I've only bought from a local store. Looking to venture out. Someone mentioned something about a lemon pound cake. That sounds good. Love melon flavors etc.

Thanks so much in advance. I'll order all of this tomorrow

I am not a carto person but, they are made to fit in any carto tank, I personally like the loki labs ss1 tank, but it is $50.00, I chose to use the Sopha in my carto tanks, a rebuildable carto.

Often recommended around here - IBTanked for a tank, and their cartos are fine...
You'll want a "tank tool" to help push a carto out of the tank partway for refilling, and you might consider their IBTipsy tips which are cute and fit their caps nicely, and you might want an IBT-Pro "ring" to make a tank fit tight and flush on your ProVari, if you get a 22mm tank.
That adds up - but afterwards, you have a quality tank...and those extras are just the first time...
You'll have to choose regular or XL (how long).
You'll get to choose 19mm (the diameter of the tapered top of the ProVari) or 22 mm (the diameter of the body of the ProVari).
You'll get to pick a color for the tank caps.
You CAN add a hand-painted color to the glass.

Everything Train2 said is what I was going to say. IBTanked tanks are excellent! I find the Smoktec carts that come with it are great, but others like the Ikenvape carts too.
As far as liquids go, I would recommend Nicoticket's Creme Brûlée and Custard's Last Stand, Alice in Vapeland's Twas Brillig and Lemon Loves Cake, Highbrow Vapor's Limoncello and Strawberry Lemonade, Copper Creek's Danish and House Blend and any of Ahlusion's fruit or dessert liquids are wonderful. If I remember right, you can request more pg on all of the flavors. I know taste is subjective but those are just some that are good to me. Good luck!

Since you're trying to keep to a budget, I'd recommend the IBT's as well. They're the cheapest quality tank you can get. If you buy cartos from anywhere else, regular length (frequently not specified) fits with a regular length tank. XL tanks need either a mega or an XL carto (same thing, different companies label them differently). I would recommend just buying some Smok cartos with the tank from IBT since Iken isn't going to have new ones in all that soon. If you buy 10 or more cartos IBT gives a nice discount (1.35 each, down from 1.50).

I'd also recommend saving the money on the painted tubes. I've seen a couple that look ok, but I've seen more that were very poorly done.

just posting to agree with Train, shell and Oz ... IBTanked for the win

Guess I'll just jump in and say I'm not a fan of cartos. They all have made my juice taste like I'm vaping dust.

"I'd also recommend saving the money on the painted tubes. I've seen a couple that look ok, but I've seen more that were very poorly done."

^^^ I agree. If you want a painted tanks, go to some place like Hobby Lobby and get glass paint and do it your self. EASY!

+1 on the IBTanked tank. I went without any extra enhancements on my tanks, just got different colored caps. If you ever do want to get something like a Sophia the IBTanked tanks can still be used with them and the flavor is awesome. Better than a carto, IMO. I still like cartos as they are easy to use but since buying a Sophia, it's hard going back to them.

As far as new juices, I'm really liking some of the smaller vendors like:

Blue Caterpillar - Italian Tiramisu Dessert and Pecan Pie. Both I'm loving.
The Vape Tree - Chocolate Tiramisu and Banana Banyan - Have to have these on hand all the time.

I also like Nicoticket's Cream Brulee and Custard's Last Stand. They are very sweet, if you like sweet, these are very good.

No complaints about IBTanked --- but I think it could be fun to shop Phiniac, too. Great quality there as well as some interesting tube to choose from.

My local stores have some interesting designs in end caps that are quite nice, too. (VapeRev may have some available and do sell on-line as well)

My all time favorite is perhaps too "old school" --- but Google search Bella or Elegance for another very good tank and check out Bedazzled for great decorated glass tubes.

Phiniac tanks are my personal favorite but they are costy.

+1

On a budget, IBT is the way to go. Quality for a low price.

Cost isn't as big of a concern, don't even look at the IBT's, there are so many better options out there.

The only people I recommend IBT to are those strapped for cash or new to cartotanks.

On fruity I really like Cinful Pear and Crackberry.
