I managed to get my hands on a DCT tank so I could try out cartomizers with a tank. I like it much better than the 5ml giant cartomizers.

I am using it with a 1.5 carto on a eGo C twist. I am wondering if this is too much of a good thing. I think I am taking in juice into my body a lot faster. I liked it but I think it might be too much of a good thing. I think I got a lot of nico in me at the moment.

Should this have happened in comparison to a V2? I know the V2's don't have much capacity or battery life but I thought they produced the same amount of power, perhaps I am wrong. Are the V2's a 3.7 volt system?

With what I have spent so far on this and that I could have gotten a Provari, a pyrex tank, lots of cartos and a bit of juice. Perhaps I should think that direction, I could go low power or high if what I like changes.

Again I do like using the tank, I might like it a little better at the moment if it delivered a little bit less.

I think in the long run I want something with a large tank and long life for the home office and a cigalike for when out and about, I am never gone from home long. I want to avoid a massive collection of things I don't use.

I think I am getting far less waste with the tank.

Even though I am still new to this I wonder if jumping up to a Provari makes sense, I can try a wide variety of carto's and dial it in to the carto I am using and try and get what I want for the time. As I change it can change with me. I am also thinking about a really good pyrex carto tank.

For out and about I think I will use the cigalikes that I have until the batteries have died, toss out the stuff that came with them then get the very best cigalike that I can find that is 510 compatible.

My thinking could be wrong as I am still very new. I would also have to wear out the eGo-C batteries that I have.

I just want to avoid storing a bunch of stuff that I don't use and only keep what I am using.

I think I know why I might feel nico sick now.

I realized I filled the 3.5ml tank 3 times today. I didn't let it go try but filled it when it looked like it have 25% still in the tank. It is a 3.5ml tank but I know the carto itself is holding fluid as well.

I think spending less time filling and getting a new battery has translated into a lot more vaping. I am using 18 nico fluid. It might be time to step down in strength if I am going to be using a carto tank.

I agree with lowering the nicotine content. Provaris are great so if you're ok with the price you won't be disappointed. As far as tanks, I like Phiniacs. Other people like IBtanked as well. Both are Pyrex.


The price is high on them but when I look at what I already spent I am wondering if that is actually the cheaper option.

I got a Fin kit at Walmart, then went and got a Blue kit and some pre-filled cartos that set me back about $150.00 at Wallgreens, then I got a V2 kit online and reordered three times, next I got century 21 and found the forum. After looking here for awhile I got a bunch of supplies eGo-C batteries and a bunch of 5ml cartomizers that I find I don't like, finally got a small tank cartomizer.

I could have got a Provari, several really nice pyrex cartomizer tanks, a bunch of punched cartos, and a lot of bottles of e-liquid for less than I have already spent.

I am starting to wonder if the cheapest route it to go straight to the top and not have a box full of supplies that I no longer use.

I started like you then made the jump to prov and haven't looked back. Quality will last forever. Stick with a nice mod and RBA or tank, DIY your juice and you will spend less than $20 a month. I personally have decided to go full mechanical only because I never have to worry about a bad board or wiring, etc. For about the same as a prov you can get a PrecisePlus at Super T ~ PrecisePlus Units , or Legacy is also a good less expensive choice. Just buy a Kick and you will have just as good a vaping experience!

IBtanked pyrex tanks are cheaper than Phiniac and are quality. You can go that route to see if you like them. Phiniac is just my personal preference. I did learn early that cheaper does not equal better in the world of ecigs. A Provari and a pyrex tank wouldn't disappoint you. I should have bought a Provari and Pyrex tank to start off with myself. I would have saved money.
