LOL...don't kill him for his carto tanks...that would definitely be a terms of use violation forum wise...
Can't tell if snark or humor...my sarcasmeter must be broken....
I was thinking we'd have a human hunt off, winner gets the others vape stuff. Maybe we film the thing, turn it into a reality TV show. Rather than actually shooting each other, they Taser each other. If people will watch Ice Road Truckers (Seriously, who watches this? A bunch of people who most likely never graduated high school driving on ice roads with made up staged dangerous incidents? If they want to make it entertaining they should put a sedated Puma in the cab with these guys but they don't know how long the anesthesia will last along the trip. Will they make it or become kitty kibble?) or Ghost Adventures (Shows been on 9 seasons and they found two things, one of them is Jack and the other is...well you know.) then they'd watch this. Cable will put anything on it. Sounds like a money maker to me.
Not so much. It's mostly just an empty hollow echoing with shades of that Popcorn song around the edges from time to time. Then it's snack time and I get a snack. I like snacks. Today it's fun size Snickers left over from halloween.

If we did all that we'd all have a lot more money in our pockets, jobs, better wages, kids who actually read a book and played with friends outdoors and yes still have the dependable cartos.
Ahh retirement. Best thing that has happened me in a long time. Yes there is a Life of Riley.
I've been using IBTanked 22mm XL with Smok 2.0Ω single coil XL for a year and a half. Holds about 5ml of juice: about twice the juice I use every day. I haven't found anything I like better.
Fuss times:
-Once every 7-10 days I change out the carto. I punch the carto myself and know how many holes to use and how large they should be. I DIY my juice so every batch is of consistent viscosity for consistent carto punching. Punching a carto takes less than two minutes. Rinsing or washing the tank takes another two minutes. Priming the carto with a syringe and 1.8ml of juice takes less than a minute.
-Once a day I refill the carto tank by syringe. This process takes four minutes. It takes that long because I'm fussy about removing the Sigelei V5 top cap and cleaning and drying the 510 with Kleenex. I also clean and dry the IBtanked and carto 510 after refilling.
I haven't had a dud Smok carto in over a year. I test each one with a DMM prior to punching. Smok cartos are always within the ±0.2Ω tolerance.
These IBTanked carto tanks don't leak. I carry the rig in my front jeans pocket. Rest assured that I'm not an idiot and don't pull the rig out of my pocket by the tank.

I love it! I will procure the puma...when do we start filming?
Mark Burnett will put any show on television as long as it costs zero $ to produce. Guys a genius. Let the shows write and produce themselves and don't pay any actors.
And no, not going back to cartos. Nothing against them. Just settling in with a Kayfun for the next year or so.

Maybe we should go back to burning vegetation next?

IB Tanked has come up several times. I have 4 of them for almost a year now and although they send extra O rings with each tank I've never had to change a one. The tanks have never leaked. The stainless steel end caps fit perfectly and the glass reminds me of bullet proof glass. I hope the carto lives on as I sure hate to see a fine company like IB Tanked going out of business. It's family run and everything is American made.
OH no...I just realized this won't work because after all of the tazing and puma threat, the winner will most likely declare that they went through all of that effort, got tazer's elbow and a PTSD condition only to get someone elses vape gear....which is of course equal worth to its weight in fecal matter....sigh
I have never replaced O-rings yet on my IBTanks. I lubricate the cartos with a drop of juice before installing into the tank.
Me either.....and that is good because oring replacement is tedious IMO....
Yes I do it using a syringe to keep the carto nice and wet. I don't do it daily but it makes a big difference if you use pre punched cartos. The material at the top of the carto tends to dry some.
