Questions about tank cartomizers.

Dual Coil 510 Tank Cartomizer, 3.5ml
Ive been eyeballing this tank for my ego and for use in a box mod i plan to buy through them. What are the drawbacks and advantages to this as apposed to a normal LR or DC carto?

Well, the general advantage of a dual coil cart is that the heat is spread over a larger area so there's less chance of localized burning of juice. Additionally, dual coils (as they are wired in parallel) should get up to operating temperature much faster, thus lowering the risk of juice-burn again.

I've heard that dual coils don't do well in tanks, that they flood very easily. I've got several but haven't punched any and tried them in a tank yet.

I have the larger Madvapes tank and a MAP DCT. I like them both. The hole in the carto on the Madvapes unit looked too small to me so I enlarged it with a saddle valve from Home Depot. The only time I had flooding problems was from incorrect filling or when I punched two big holes in one carto with a nail! Shan B says the cartos last longer in the tank and I agree. This is my "go to" way to vape 'cuz I like not having to top up the carto all the time.

I use the prepunched dual coil cartos all the time in my tanks, and they work very well. I have vaped pretty thick juice without having to make any holes larger or anything like that with no problems. The only problem I have had with them is 100% pg juice that floods every once and awhile.

This is EXACTLY the tank that I've been recommended (Thank you donesmokin!!) And Eddie thanks for the explanation on the advantage of dual coils. That's something I've wondered about myself!!

I am using that tank now and it seems to be working great ...... BUT ...... I had a problem getting the top off to fill it (seal is tight) and someone said to just slide the carto down till you could slide a needle in around the top and fill. I've done that 2-3 times, and now the tank turns on the carto so easily I can't get it off my battery. The tank was spinning but not the cart.
I had to get something to grab the top of the carto to turn it ..... am I missing something?

I use a tight-fitting drip tip to screw the cartos on and off.

I like the feel of a drip tip, I use them on all my cartos.

Hold it from the bottom black part to twist off and not the clear tank part. Get used to doing it that way and it will come right off. Also do not tighten it too much, it only needs to make contact.

I have had zero problems with my carto tanks. The way I fill is to pull on the bottom part of the carto until it clears the top seal, remove the top, push the carto up again until it is flush at the bottom and fill with a bottle. Once filled, and not all the way to the top - leave a little space for air, push the top seal over the carto and done. I put the carto bottom on a surface so it will not push down while putting on the top part. Takes about 30 seconds and is easy.

I have 2 tanks, one I enlarged the stock hole with a nail and the other left it alone. Both work great.

Just don't screw the carto on to tight. I tighten mine too much and when I tried to unscrew it the black rubber cap came loose from the clear part and I lost a whole tank of juice, boy was I ......, it was my best juice too!!!!

Thanks guys .... I have it off right now, but when I use it again I won't crank it down ....

Shan B's DCT video. This filling method works best for me. I've flooded my carto putting the top cap back on with juice in the tank.
