The big daddy is a awesome looking tank but I like the Arry for two reasons that are not covered with them. First I can tell when the carto is getting low so no need for a window when u only need to fill it once a day.

1st reason I like Arry. Threaded caps. No need to worry about pushing a cap off and getting juice in your lap.

Second reason is that I have a lot of issues with the carto's and flooding. Its real easy to blow a ml of juice on a paper towel and getting your connection full of juice. Worst part is when u leave home for the day, then while on the road u get the dreaded gurgle. I know it all too well. 4 times today while driving with kids kicking the back of my seat to boot. This is what I spent $300 for? Annoy me more please. So the Arry can use a ce2 also.

I have yet to try a ce2 as of now though, so I can not speak of personal problems that I might have with them. With my luck if a problem is possible I will have them x10. But at least its nice to know I am not stuck with a high dollar tank that leaves me as ...... off as my $10 tank does.

Be that as it may. I love the big daddy tank with the slap yo mama. It is deff an attractive option. I am however at my wits end with the problems I have had associated with ecigs. The fags where just light and smoke. You knew what you where getting into every time you bought a pack. I miss that part. The best mod was turning your lighter into a non childproof so u can light more easy. Not a lot to worry about. Just think of all the shipping we saved all on its own. So I "hope" Arry is the compromise I am looking for.

I just got the lil mama and slap yo moma from big daddy last week. I am very pleased so far with it. No leaks, easy to fill with the slap yo moma thing (though it is a really tight fit into the carto, have to wiggle it out). If I ever run into an issue with the tube cracking, I will just buy the stainless version with the window. I am using boges 3 ohm with a saddle valve to punch holes. Do it on both sides. Not a lot of issues pushing the tank up. A boge has lasted a week so far on the tank where as I was only getting 3 days on it before. Thus far no gurgling issues. With my previous DCT I got that problem all the time. So frustrating.

So your flooding in the cheap tank you had went away just for buying a better one? What I mean is the problem is directly tied to the tank, or did you do something different otherwise? My tank might be in the box today or tomorrow. Been using the addy I have for the last two days. The drip is repetitive but at least I get good results. Im about to go check the box.

Also look into Polypropylene tanks. Polypropylene is the same material that syringes are made of, and the are not supposed to crack even with strong cinnamon juices. I know Vapor Kings is selling the DCT Polyprop tanks, I have the small version filled up with pineapple punch right now, and the large version with Ms. T's Snickerdoodle. These tanks are on the cheaper end (quality wise), and $14.99 I think is a bit expensive for the quality. I recently ordered a 10' length of polypropylene to attempt at making my own tubes for various tanks I have. I am hoping this will be the solution!!

Just got my Smoketech DCT today. WOW, i think i've found a new carto. It's awesome, and looks more well built than some of the cartos I've used.

Well there are a few factors that I think might have been a play with gurgling from DCT and not having it from this one.

1) differences in build/design of boge single coil carts vs smoketek's DC cartos
2) The larger volume of juice in the DCT causing more inward pressure of juice, causing it to rise above the flute thing that allows air draw through the DC carto.
3) The holes I punched were with a nail and a hammer were a little rougher and larger vs the saddle valve I now have with uniform sized holes.
4) I have only vaped PG through this current set up, whereas I was vapid 60%PG/40% VG through the DCT at the time. Not sure if this is really a factor though. I am experimenting with 2 weeks of PG only juice and 2 weeks of VG only juice so I can try and determine why my lungs still hurt in the morning when I have been only vaping for the past four months. (trying to figure out if it is the PG or the VG is the irritant or some other factor like deepness of inhalation or something in the flavoring)

I use the boge single coil carto's. Think I should try adding a second hole? I also noticed that the hole could be lower in the carto. Going to try to lower it next time.

I am having good luck with two holes myself.

I have found that 2 holes work will with Boge cartos, and one hole works best with Smoktech cartos. The poly fill in the Boges is more dense, and two holes works well without flooding.

+1, go check out their drop tests. Very Impressive!

I have 6 phiniac tanks and have dropped one getting out of my car .....somehow it flew off my lap and onto the concrete. The provari and tank were unscathed, the cartomizer did break off at the threads leaving the threads in the provari. Was easy to get them out. I was impressed with the durability. I can't imagine anything that would destroy these tanks.
