New to Cartomizer Tank (Li'l Mama from BDV)

[hokoyz]

Hi Guys, I just got my li'l mama tank and it looks awesome. One thing I noticed though, I filled it twice already in about 4 hours so thats about 6 - 8 ml and I am almost finished with it,maybe I just did not realize I vape that much hehehe... Is that normal for you guys? Don't know if its the atomizer that came with it, 1.5 ohms double coil and I am using on my provari at 3.8 v.

The only complaint I have with the lil mama kit is the drip tip that came with it, it takes like plastic so I end up switching to one of my metal tips, maybe it can't take the heat... any of you guys experienced that with plastic tips?

Congrats on getting your tank. Been thinking about getting that tank myself. Anyways, carto's do go through juice a lot faster in comparison to an atomizer. Especially if it's a Dual Coil and so, it's not really surprising.

Also, haven't experienced the taste issue with any of my Delrin DT's. Only one's I have problems with, are my anodized aluminum drip tips that give a metallic flavor when I vape.

Thanks washvap. Not sure if the one from BVD are Delrin tips... looks like cheap plastic, has a taste like acrylic hehehehe.. where do you get your DT washvap?

No problem. Does sound like a real cheap drip tip. Anyways, I get my drip tips from a majority of places. One of my favorites is nhaler due to the amount of options available:

Drip Tips

Only issue is that their prices for them are a little higher compared to other places. Been on a SS drip tip craze lately and so, I have to look around for those. Cigtechs has some good ones:

I have wondered since I began using a tank whether it uses juice faster; that would make sense to me - what I understand is that the tank serves to keep the cartomizer (or whatever is in there) saturated at all times... obviously, a saturated carto will vaporize more liquid than a 3/4 empty one, yes? So if we compare the tank to standard carto usage, it would be going through somewhat higher quantities of juice per vape at least some of the time (unless of course you top off your cartos like all the time, or you don't use them... not sure how all them other atomizer types would work in comparison).

Atomizers are more efficient is using all of the juice that's put in there in comparison to cartomizers. Which will burn before that even happens. Even though it still has some juice that's in the filler material.

There's only one tank system out there for the atomizer that's the UFS. Which I have no experience with since it's pretty expensive. However, there are bottom feeders that are to atomizers as tanks are to cartos. Since it has all the advantages of dripping without all the fuss.
