second thoughts on tanks vs carto

[miketrin]

As my post count shows, i'm no expert. But i have spent a lot, tried atomizers, cartomizers, clearomizers, drip-tips and both of the tanks.

So I posted a while back about how i enjoy tanks, 510-t and the ego-t.

Here's my second opinion....

They are great as long as you only use mostly clear juice, don't change flavors a lot and dry-burn them to clean. That means carefully popping out the piercing piece washing out with water,dry-burn and repeat then carefully reinsert the wick with it's wire mesh cage.

I've yet to find anything that will deal with dark or sweet juice, like campfire coffee.

I'd be willing to bet that you haven't tried cartomizers from IkenVape yet. I use the Mega LR 510s and 808s with both dark and light juice and they're fantastic! No burnt taste, easy to fill and they hold around 55-60 drops of juice.

I haven't tried them, just the generic stuff from madvapes. The only problems I had with cartomizers were leaking because of overfilling and always having to carry juice around to refill them. With the tanks I just fill a bunch of tanks and carry those around.

What kind of battery do you use with those LR cartomizers?

I'm using mods, but my fiance uses those cartos on a Riva/eGo set up and he loves them, too! They're huge and they last a long time. I can usually get a solid three hours out of one, four if I'm feeling froggy, and there still isn't even the slightest hint of burnt taste. I've been able to get several refills out of them, too. I'll take three of them to work with me and still have plenty of vape left over.

I second WomanOfHeart on IkenVapes, although my choices have been the V2 Gold 510s (with a drip tip) and the 801 Fushions with an adaptor. The Fushions in particular have outperformed any sort of onboard fuel supply I've tried (to wit, I've been underwhelmed with CE2s; someday they'll fix the burnt flavor & leakage problem, but that day isn't today).

they seem to have a very limited supply, i was able order the v2 gold cartomizers and 2 drip tip style, mega's and 801's are out of stock.

Yes, you're quite right about that. The Fushions are much-coveted, and whenever IkenVape gets a shipment in, they go very quickly (in a matter of hours, not days).

Typically your only shot is to set up an e-mail notification, and be ready to move immediately when you get the word.

Yeah the mega cartos don't fry the dark juices like the small ones do. I'm guessing it's because the heat has more room to dissipate in a mega carto.
