Wow, I made it quite a few days without having to ask another tank question! LOL How often should you have to "prime" your tank??? Maybe I am just programmed to feel like the top of the carto has to look slushy at all times that I feel like I constantly have to prime it. After about an hour of vaping, when I pull the drip tip off it looks bone dry on the top.
"Priming" tanks?

That's a very individual question. Everything thehangdude said is true. With that in mind, I too have been "programmed" to see a saturated carto from the top, if for no other reason than you can't tell when the dry hit is coming without it. I have a tendency to treat cartos like attys, but I do evidently hit harder and longer than many people.
With tanks, though, it can be a problem to over-saturate. Some cartos can flood. Also, tanks basically are acting as a siphon, so the juice will never "naturally" rise in the carto much above the the level in the tank. By the time the tank is half-full, the carto filler 'should' look dry on top even when it is saturated to the level of liquid in the tank. There will be some wicking, but not a lot do to the self-leveling nature of a siphon.
I have trained myself not to take off the mouthpiece when using a tank. As thd said, it feeds from the bottom--directly into the coil(s)--so you should only have to prime it if you actually get a dry/harsh hit...
Thanks so much, that makes total sense. This is the first time I have been using thicker liquids, and I need to get used to the top of the carto getting dry....without worrying that I am burning the thing up!!!!!
Even tanks have a learning curve--though in this case it's usually learning "yes, they really are that easy."
My Sub Mini tank is giving me tight, difficult draws after only a couple of days. My first tank lasted about a week or ten days before the draw got tight (have to suck hard to get any vapor)
Any suggestions?
I'm using pretty clear juice, 70/30 mix.

The tank just holds the juice--it's the cartos that will be affecting your draw. What kind of cartos are you using?
Yeah, I guess I misspoke.
They are Boge 3.0's....
Not sure if you can remove the fill on these, clean and then put them back in.
Thanks!
I dunno about removing the filler, but I've successfully cleaned cartos by boiling them. Just make sure to give it a day or two to dry before using or the juice will be very watered down...
