I vaped strong for about 6 months and I was really into it when I first started. After some time went by and I wasn't as interested in vaping as I was when I was new I started to become annoyed with tank maintenance (slotting cartos, punching holes, cleaning tanks) so on and so forth. I DONT WANT TO DO IT ANYMORE!! I've been smoking again for a solid 6 months now and I want to get back to vaping but I don't want to spend ANY time fussing around with my tanks or anything. I just want to shoot juice into my tank and have a nice vape....

The problem is the only juices I really enjoy vaping are 100% vgs (bobas bounty and gorilla juice are my favorites). They are a pain and don't vape good out of a pro tank and with my carto tanks I have to spend time slotting big ... holes in the cartos and I don't have the time for it.

I've been saying for a while that somebody needs to make this product and they will sell like crazy... either 100% vg ready slotted cartos or a tank that easily vapes 100% vg good. Now that its been several months since I have looked at any new vape products I hope somone can guide me to a tank or someone selling pre slotted cartos for 100% vg.

I want to squirt some bobas bounty into my tank and vape. I never want to drill a hole or slot a carto again I have no patience for it... And yes I know it works in something like a bottom coil like a pro tank but it works like .... I'm only interested in a product that will vape it good like a well slotted carto.

Thanks for reading my long rant and hopefully someone can help

juice aside, that was my issue. I didn't want to fiddle with coils and tanks and cleaning and messing with stuff constantly.
i got a reo. i build a coil. every 1-3 days i change the wick. i'm coil inept, and can build and put one in within 5 minutes. changing the wick takes 30 seconds. I don't think it gets any simpler, except maybe prefilled cartos? I wouldn't know.
I've come to realize there is a small amount of tinkering involved with vaping, so I've searched for the solution with the Least amount of BS time :)

I hate to say it, but a good vape doesn't come without maintenance. It's just the nature of the beast.

It's sounds like you wouldn't be into rebuilding at all, but honestly, once you've got a microcoil in a dripper, you're done. It never gurgles, leaks, it'll vape any pg/vg ratio perfectly fine, and it will taste a hell of a lot better than any protank or carto.

Maintenance is my reason #2 for why I like to drip. Less than 3 minutes to get a good coil mounted, less than 1 minutes to slide some cotton through, all day to vape. Granted you have to change your cotton (so scary) every so often, but once you're done, you're done. I don't fiddle with it, it never messes up, and I'll keep the exact same coil for months.

I figured this might not sound entirely up your alley, but it's something to consider. Dripping is a big reason why I still am able to stay off of cigarettes. Protanks, cartos, EVODs, they all work most of the time, but I needed something that worked ALL of the time without me having to tear it apart or mess with it.

Hope I was at least a little helpful. Good luck with getting back to vaping!

But you can't drip and drive ;) You can reo and drive :)

Haha ok, you got me there. I do like the idea of the Reo for Dane. I'm actually going to check one out for myself.

i like the idea of reo's for errrryyybody!! :p
if one can get over the having to build a coil every so often, and rewicking it. it's the most hassle free vape I can find.

Have you tried IKenVape cartos in your tanks yet? The Platinum and Punch V2 series pre-punched cartos are made with large holes or slats just for thick juices. Platinum Series

You could also consider adding some distilled water to the juices to thin them out. I use 10-15 drops per 30ml of 100% VG juice to thin them so they work in just about any atty/carto/clearo flawlessly. It's enough water to thin it out without having any effect on flavor whatsoever.

I've got an eBaron Dripper Pro and I use Boba's and GJ mostly. Both juices would gunk up my coils within a few hours and I'd end up with a solid cocoon of black nasty on my coil from these juices. What I've been doing is dripping these juices along with some PG juices to thin them out. You can use plain unflavored or like me mix GJ with some Ave PG blueberry cheesecake...it's not to shabby, pretty good actually.

And as far as maintenance on the Dripper Pro goes...easy peasy. You can build your own coils (not hard at all) or buy them premade. I pop in a new coil every two days. You just screw off the top of the device, pull out the old coil and pop in a new one. Two minute process. And I use this device while driving all the time. As long as the wick has been saturated real good I can vape this dripper for a good 20-30 minutes (moderate vaping) before needing to drip again. Oh and as far as cleaning I just wipe out the top piece with tissue when changing the coil and wipe out the bottom piece with a q-tip.

When I first started vaping I tried all the different juices and bought a ton of crap and once I matured in my vaping career a little bit I pretty much just had my few juices I liked and just wanted an easy vape. Plus I have my girlfriend wanting me to hook up her vape gear so it was like double the work as far as maintenance and everything else goes and it just got tired of it.
