Question about Tanks / Cartos and Ohms.

[heinzanova]

I have been vaping for a couple months now. I have found the flavors and strengths I like. I have a problem though with my delivery method. I have started using Tanks (TubeTank 4ml from Volcano) for a few reason, one a silver tank on a silver 510 volcano style ego is awesome looking, but the main reason is ease of use. It holds a lot of juice, it is extremely easy to fill compared to clearomizers and cartos. The problem is with taste.

The Tanks have 1.5 ohm cartos by default, they work great for my Espresso and Kona Coffee Flavors as well as my cinnamon. My fruit flavors however do not do well at 1.5 ohms. I have this one that I love, probably my favorite flavor called blue water punch but it only tastes great in a clearomizer. Recently Volcano started making 3 ohm cartos for the tanks, I figured they would be less harsh and allow more flavor to come out from the juice. I was right, the BWP (blue water punch) tastes much better, however I do not get enough vapor from it. The vapor does not feel heavy in my lungs and not really satisfying. It seems clearomizers are the only way to vape this particular juice. I have seen a few kind of messy tanks that use broken up clearomizers for a center instead of a carto, that does not appeal to me.

My question is, are all cartos for the center of tanks a universal size? Are there other ones I could try out for a wetter vape (with more vape?) Do I need to get a variable voltage mod and start fooling around with 3ohms at higher voltage or 1.5 ohms at lower?

Guidance please. I would like to stay with tanks as I love the look and ease of function, but I really could use a more moist/fuller vape experience for my fruit flavors.

Sorry for the wall of text. Appreciate any advice.

myvaporstore has the pre-punched 2.5ohms SMOKTech 510 Dual Coil Tank Cartomizer - 5 Pack
and madvapes has 2ohms but they don't sell them in a 5 pack Cartomizers

What you are referring to here is the ce2 tank. Regular type cartomizers will not fit in these tanks with some ability to drill out the opening to get the proper diameter.

My question is, are all cartos for the center of tanks a universal size?

Not all cartomizers will fit the carto tanks. Boge, Kanger, kr808d-1, dual coil cartomizers will fit the tanks. They have to be the same size in diameter. There are some cartos that are way too large. Just make sure you buy the proper size and/or ask the vendor before purchasing if you aren't sure.

Are there other ones I could try out for a wetter vape (with more vape?)

Cartomizer tanks are the only type of tanks I use. I don't like the ego-t because of the muter flavor, leaking, and just overall poor performance.

Do I need to get a variable voltage mod and start fooling around with 3ohms at higher voltage or 1.5 ohms at lower?

This is strictly up to you. Most people who go to variable voltage because they don't get satisfied with just an eGo type battery. If you think VV is for you, then yes, by all means go for it.

If you enjoy the tank setup and the CE2 vape then get some Vision Stone Tanks (19mm wide - so may look odd) or the Vision Stardust (fit flush with the Ego).

Currently using the Stone and I am more than happy.

Thanks for the great responses.

Would varying the voltage on different ohm coils help me find a middle ground?

@Sicarius I have not tried a CE2. It looks messy having to take apart a clearomizer to stuff the guts in a tank. Could you provide links to the tanks you are talking about?


Thanks

Bump for the day crew?

Would varying the voltage on different ohm coils help me find a middle ground?

Your eGo outputs an average 3.4 volts so with the 1.5 Ohm you have 7.7 Watts of vaping power. (P=V*V/R)
With the 3 Ohm that drops to 3.9 Watts.

Since I made the switch to vaping because the flavor was as satisfying, if not more so, than smoking, the flavor I taste is real important to me. As you've noticed, the power in the coil has an impact on flavor and vapor production. That is the reason I have gone completely to variable voltage. The same PV and atty and I can adjust the power to match the juice flavor. (Make it the best it can be.) With VV, there is no need to adjust the Ohms of the coils.

The other way is to find the Ohms that work for each of your flavors, or range of flavors, and use that coil on your set voltage device. No need to do both.

As an aside, I use either an HH357 from Avid Vaper or an I06 from Ikenvape at 2.5 Ohms for both. I find these to give me the best flavor and density of vapor I need from my vape and I can adjust my PV voltage to give me the power that make each flavor the best taste. (Or crank it up if I need more TH, down if I need less, and anything inbetween for those moments when just great flavor and vapor density is not working for me.)

YMMV and objects in the mirror are closer than they appear.

have to agree with Hoosier. being able to adjust voltage to the ohms of the cartridges makes a difference. I've found that even .1 volts can make a difference depending on your carto, clearo, fluxo or whatever...from just touching that "dry vape" to full flavor. Interesting to say the least. Not purposefully plugging gotvapes, but for your question and with regard to differing styles, etc...their forum is VERY active with very experienced members discussing many different "types" of addy's...you might want to pop in and read through some of the threads. They are also VERY involved with the members and vendors in their search for finding (or designing) that perfect atomizer...I have no affiliation with them other than I use and love their products.

Thank you for the very through out and well written response. So dryness / TH is a function of power? What effects the moisture of the vape? What is the most moist vape method? I have tried drip a few times and it is not really my thing.

Thanks

A full body vape is a function of the juice. That's why I make my own.

Usually you can get more body from premixed with more VG, but too much VG doesn't work well in most cartos. Another reason I don't like cartos (primary reason is the vapor is too airy and the flavor is too muted.). I've tried plenty of cartos, but only found one that wasn't horrible, but still not as full flavored or dense as my attys.

I need a dense vapor and strong flavor. Finding what works for you is more important than what works for me though.

 

[heinzanova]

So I have been using carto tanks primarily, and it leaves a thickness like the clearomizers bring to be desired, what do you use?

Um already noted the attys and the vendors that I use. Were you asking about the kids now?
