Smoktech DCT tanks?

[daniel22811]

Okay dudes and dudettes, lets get this straight. Im cheap! Really cheap. Cheaper then cheap. Cheap.

And Smoktech dct tanks on healthcabin are, well, cheap.

But cheap doesnt always mean good right?

Anyone have one? Im thinking of trying out the 3.5ml dct tank, but want some opinions on it. Does it leak? Are the seals good? Is it slidey?

Plan to use it with ikenvape 801 PUNCH mega cartomizers (anyone know if they will fit?)

Yes id love an IBtanked, but did I say that im cheap? I started vaping to save money....

Btw, im cheap.

Healthcabin is in China thats why its cheap, get an Artemas locking carto tank from Madvapes if you want a good cheap carto tank

I'll check that out. Cheers.

Healthcabin is very cheap. But as im in aus, the postage is 1000000000000000x cheaper then shipping from the usa. And hell of a lot quicker.

Ahhhh yes I didn't realize that.

Most places in the usa have charged me $30+ for postage, usps standard post and it usually takes about three weeks. China, $17 and it gets to my front door in THREE DAYS. haha shame on you usps.

I always say, you get what you pay for. Smoktech DCT tanks have notoriously had slidey tanks on their cartos. That's why they designed their tank replacement cartomizers with a flange (which by the way only prevents the carto from sliding towards the battery end of the cartomizer, not off the carto in the other direction).

I never had any luck with the tanks with the black delrin plastic end cap tanks that Smoktech sells. They are "cheap" and were especially slidey, can have quality control issues with poorly fitting pieces, and use a polycarbonate plastic tube which can warp out of shape and crack or melt with certain flavors of juice. I don't recommend these.

<-- No !

I had better luck with the polypropylene tube and metal end cap version like My Vapor Store sells. Overall better parts and a higher quality tank safe to use with all juice flavors, for just a little more money. Complete kit with metal drip tip and 5 pre-punched cartomizers of your choice for under $22. 510 Pro DCTank Combo

If you only want the tank part and can find your own cartomizers and drip tip, you can get this for $9. Pro DCTank Tube




Another inexpensive option is the polypropylene tubed cartotanks made by Valley View Vapors. These use a silicone grommet in place of the traditionally used end caps (may be more difficult to install and remove the carto in these tanks), but use a juice fill hole/screw which some people seem to like. I'd order some extra screws should you lose one, they're cheap. Just $8 for the tank.

The locking Artemis tanks use the polycarbonate plastic tube that some flavors can melt or crack. I've never seen the need for a locking cartotank. A quality-made tank will have proper fitting o-rings which will fit a carto snug enough that it will not slide off. In my 15 months of using quality cartotanks I've never had a tank slide off of a cartomizer.

BTW, it's common sense not to pick up a PV by the tank, pick it up by grabbing the mod itself, whether it is in a pocket or wherever.

I've had no problems using the ST DCT's from Health Cabin..

And I have, many times, purposely picked up my Vamo by the tank... keeping my hand under it, of course!!

On a side note, you said you will be using 801 threaded Ikenvapes. You are aware that those will need a 510 - 801 adaptor, and will hense have a noticeable gap between the tank and the battery device.

For the price I like them. Admittadly it's only my first carto tank but was very easy to set up and gives excellent flavour and vapour. Had one full tank through it and had no leaks or issues yet. But do bare in mind that's only my experience, I have seen other users have a lot of issues with them.

I have one, it works fine and I pocket carried it alot when I used carto tanks. I have the one with the silver metal caps. only thing I hated about that tank was that it came with smoketech cartos

Any flanged alternatives you would suggest that fits it. I'm not minding the smoketech ones but if something better is out there I would like to give it a go.

Ikenvape 510 Fusion is a better alternative, but wait in line with the rest of us. (Hint: they are extremely popular and in limited production, so they are often out of stock.) Store Temporarily Closed for Maintenance
