suggestions on a carto tank

[Baditude]

You stopped using the kf and prefer to use a carto tank? Really....? Explain that please.

I've used IBTanked cartotanks for the better part of the last 1.5 years. They were my primary juice delivery device on both mechanical and regulated mods. Very flavorful and consistant vape. Most important: dependable & reliable.

I gave Genesis-style RBA's a chance last summer (two AGA-T2) but put them away due to a variety of factors. They are a more difficult RBA to use, esp. for a beginner to RBA's. Stainless steel mesh is not the easiest wick to work with, genney-style tanks leak if not kept upright, and you have to (for the most part) have to tilt the tank sideways while vaping to get it to wick. No thank you. I went back to my easy & reliable cartotanks.

I was gifted a genuine Kayfun Lite plus RBA a couple of months ago. Yes, this is a WONDERFUL tank. Like a cartotank on steroids. Easy to setup and maintain, great flavor, decent vapor production, not position dependent. HOWEVER, my KFL+ has recently out of nowhere begun leaking out the air control hole. I've lost at least two tankfuls (8 - 10 ml of juice). I suspect there is a leak upsetting the negative pressure in the tank (bad o-ring?), but until I troubleshoot the problem and get it fixed the tank is out of action.

Therefore, its back to my trusty & reliable cartotanks. Backups for your backups.

I don't use tank cracking juices. So, I use thick polycarb tanks.

Bottom line is that the vapor from a kf us exponentially better in every way possible compared to that of a carto tank. If you prefer an inferior vape that would make sense. Please elaborate on that. What, it's easier, once you have it set up (kf) it's way easier than priming a carto. Building takes time skill effort but if you are going to be getting into rebuildables, as stated. then it's a pretty simple one at that. I understand trying new things, hell I'm the king of the next best thing, I'm vaping rayon wick out of a fogger v4 right now. But a carto tank compared to the kayfun, gimmie a break.


Now to be fair, I'd usually ask what setup you plan on pushing your atty with but with a kf you can build it to run off a freaking spinner!

I don't care either way I just don't like to see people who are new getting talked into spending their money on stuff they don't need. Some people are skimping by saving up for that kf Clone ya know.

Some people like different things. And that is OK! Diversity helps keep the world interesting.

I had two IBtanked tanks. The first one shattered when my device fell out of my sweatshirt pocket onto a hard tile floor. My other one hasn't taken a fall yet, so its still up and running. I always keep an ego with a carto tank with me as a backup plan and it has never failed me.

That's probably a bad Oring, and a carto tank would leak with a bad Oring as well, you can't call your move from a kf back to CT your choice.

Like I said bud I recommend just buying the kf, do what you want obviously. BTW if you wanna try a carto tank go to any decent bnm and they will probably be using carto tank as testers, with any luck someone there will have a kf of some sort they would be happy to let you use, you be the judge.
Or simply ask anyone there I guarantee they will back what I said. Good luck.

I agree with Baditude. A back up to a back up means you'll always have something to vape when another device goes haywire.
I've never actually used a cartotank, but I've had experience with cartomizers. I'm actually really intrigued about the cartotanks and plan on getting the IBTanked.

I am currently heavily into rebuildables, use a KFL+, RSST genny, and a couple different RDA's. I'm very satisfied with their performance and know a cartotank may never give me as good a vape as a well built version of those devices. But that doesn't mean I shouldn't learn how to use one. The way I figure, learn how to use every tool available to you, that way, you'll always have options.

Also, a 22mm cartotank seems to look pretty nice on top of a Provari with a ring.

I've had very good luck with these.They have a locking bottom ring so carto can accidently pull out. Smok flanged cartos are are made so they cannot spin in tank and come prepunched with 1-2-3 holes depending and juice PG-VG ratio' I get 3 hole for high VG e-juice. Have had no leaking. Super easy to refill using needle bottle no refill tool needed.

OP asked what cartotanks are good, and people are answering the question. Not everyone can build a good coil, and a Kayfun is only as good as the build is. I do prefer my Kayfuns over cartotanks for sure, however if I had to choose one topper for my two hour commutes I'd choose the cartotank over the Kayfun. I can and have primed a carto on the ferry. I don't think I could mount a coil there. It may come with practice, but if every topper I traveled with suddenly stopped working in some way during my commute, I have a better chance of getting a cartotank set up again then I would getting an RDA or an RBA set up.

Best tank I've ever used on my mvp2 is the Taifun Gt. The taste is absolutely outrageous! I have a kayfun as well which is good but it does not compare with the flavor from the Taifun Gt. It's honestly the best vape I've ever had! Taifun produces dense vapor and a unbelievable taste! It's really that good! One thing about the taifun is that it is very build dependant. But once you learn it, omg! It gives the MOST incredible flavor I've ever had. It is a little pricy but it is very much worth it! Pay extra close attention when wicking, I double my wick over in the slots cap the inner cap then trim the wick. This prevents her from leaking. If she is leaking, it's user error. But once you understand how to build her, she is absolutely the best!! I highly highly recommend you invest in a taifun! If you like the taste of a kayfun, you will love love the taste of a taifun!! Compared the kayfun flavor seems muted it's that good! You won't regret it for a second! I know it is expensive, but in the long run its very much worth it! Hope this helps. It's a amazing tank and so well made! I've never had flavor so great as I've had with the taifun!! If you decide to get one, I highly suggest watching a few videos on it. It will really help you understand how it works. Best wishes

Ok... I'll explain. I bought a KFL+, and used it for a week or two. No where in the above post did I say they were terrible by any means, did I? I enjoy rebuilding and all that comes with RBAs, so that wasn't the issue. It vaped great with the 1.5 ohm coils that I built. I AM NOT nor will I ever be a sub ohm vaper. I've never felt the need to go that route. I then bought a Zen Atty from the classifieds here and a Pulse from eBay. While I got really good at SS mesh and wrapping my 1.5 coils on it, without all the headache that comes with it, ALL 3 just took a lot maintenance time for me. The Gennys couldn't be laid down or they leaked, the KFL, which I did like, was heavy as hell, wonky, and a pain to take apart, never mind the intermittent vacuum leak problems, or the Nutcracker ballet you had to do to fill it up. "Put you finger over this hole to it's filled this much, take your finger off, tilt to specified angle, then fill some more, cap, let air out... Oh you didn't get that second step right? Juice in lap or mouth!"

For me yes, I said FOR ME! The ease of setup for my cart tanks far surpasses all of that. It takes me all of 7 minutes (maybe, I haven't actually timed it) to set up a fresh tank and carto and less to refill the tank, a minute tops. All 4 I have in my rotation in my zip case will last me DAYS before they need to be fiddled with.

Will I go back to my RBAs? If all this stuff gets banned and I can no longer buy cartomizers, then yes I will. I have a nice shiny new Nemesis still in the box, to put all my RBAs on when that happens. But right now, I'll stick to the ease of use and TASTY vapor that an IBTanked sitting on top of my Provari is providing me!

I can fill and prime a carto tank in less than 1 minute; can't do the same with a re-buildable. I get plenty of flavor with the juices I vape, so carto tanks are worth it for me. Working 20 days without a day off doesn't leave a lot of time for building coils and messing around with Alpaca fiber...

If I could like this 1000 times I would.

People keep asking me when Im going to get a Kayfun.

I probably wont.

My requirements for a mod and a juice delivery device are theyre as close to fuss free as smoking a cigarette was.

My Provari and my Phiniac fulfill those requirements better than anything Ive tried to date and thats just about everything out there.

I can prime and setup a new carto tank in about a minute.When leaving for work I pry the top cap off, fill it to the top, blow through the carto into a napkin, grab and extra battery and am out the door.

One 6ml tank last all day for this heavy vaper..... but even it didnt refilling a Phiniac is childs play due to their thick delrin caps.

He said he is going to by a kf thus he is going to learn how to build a coil.if he had any trouble u am available personally to help in any way. He had an Aero tank and an Iclear and something similar already so he has backup : he doesn't need an additional carto tank for a backup for his kf. Kf is only as good as your coil, yeah sure and I you have to be pretty simple to have trouble with a kf coil. Their are millions of ways to learn even more people who will help.

To be honest is rather wrap a wire around a screwdriver x times then secure it with two screws than prime a carto tank on a ferry, taxi, in the hay, by the Bay all day, I'd say.. And My dad who I have graduated from cigs to carto tanks to kf to fogger, who does know, " why my thing stopped working, fix it, hurry", had the same coil in his kf for 5 months, it still never popped I replaced the kf with a fogger v4, which I believe to be much better BTW.

If you rebuild your coil monthly you'll never pop a coil, my dad runs min 15ml per day thru his kf. So did I.

I'm not trying to start an argument. The OP is curious about cartotanks, or wouldn't have mentioned them in his/her post. When it comes to personal preference, there is no right and wrong. I DO prefer Kayfuns. I can set up a cartotank faster. That's where I'm at as far as my skills in vaping are at the moment. Some prefer cartotanks and have stated so in this thread. It's their personal preference. Why so much passion on this, if you mind my asking? Do you know OP personally? I'm curious. To me, Kayfuns vape better, and we agree on that. All I'm saying is that I'm not going to presume to know what someone else's personal preferences are, or tell them they're wrong. Really, both carto tanks and Kayfuns will be a huge improvement from clearomizers. I'm just glad the OP decided to try something else at all. I've had awful experiences with clearos, not to mention the money wasted on them.

 

[Tbev]

I don't care I just happen to personally gone thru the evolution x4 while getting my family off cigs, spent a lot of money on stuff I'll never touch again and thought it wasn't fair for someone who doesn't know any better to get talked into carto tanks by phanic fanatics when he was obviously going the kf route anyways. I would have shut up a couple posts back but I forgot to unsubscribe to the thread. I'm out. Best wishes.

I like the agr+ Carto tank.nice thick tank and I love the way it locks the CartoIin.

 

[tdub82]

I didn't realize what I was starting LOL. Thank you everyone for the suggestions.

 

[txcolt]

Don't feel bad tdub. This place has been a powder keg waiting to blow! Nice work lighting the fuse though.

PS - I typed this while enjoying my ibtanked 22 xl. That will tell you where I fall in the debate.

 

[Ladiekali]

I have a kayfun, ok four and they are cool and all. I can only vape alice in vapeland juices in them though.

I love my carto tanks. Ibtanks are ok. I am having issues though. I cant get the orings off that need to be replaced
And the color on the caps chip off.

For the price of the caps they shouldn't chip.

My worse one i noticed it the color missing on the caps three days after i started using it. And since im funny i dont even use it because of it.
But i use my other three ibtanks all the time. But now im on a search for a new brand.
