Hi all, I've been searching the site for a while looking for that "perfect answer" of course I know there really isn't one, but I do need some help please.

I tried the gotvapes raven cartomizer and absolutely fell in love with the flavor it allows, since it is doesn't have filler I can really taste my juice. This past week though I have noticed some issues with having it in the typical Florida heat/humidity. I work 13 hour days in a warehouse that is not climate controlled, by the time I leave work my wicks seem to be coming out of the carto into the tank. Of course having to fill the tank so often the wicks continue to be pulled out of the carto causing me to use replace it every day. I don't know if this is just a bad batch of cartos or if this is "normal" so one solution I thought of was getting a bigger tank to house the carto. This would kill two birds with one stone, the convenience of not having to fill so often therefore also alleviating the issue of pulling the wicks into the tank while sliding the carto to fill. Obviously I can't control the weather so I thought this would be my only solution. I don't care for the tanks that have the screws sticking out, I would probably catch them on the bag I carry to work and end up breaking something lol

Any suggestions for a larger tank that actually fits the raven carto, or how to handle the "weathering" of the wicks would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance for taking the time to even read this.
 
Are you totally content with cartos, or would you consider switching to a clearomizer like the vivi or protank? I used to use cartos, and recently tried them again, but they are so inconsistent. I use a protank now and i just love it. I live in a high humidity state too. Ive only been vaping a year so I dont have a lot to say about carto tanks. Just thought i would give you my 2 cents. Peace.
 
I did try clearomizers before cartos. I have an iclear16 that almost made me give up on vaping due to the bottom of the tip not lining up properly with the top of the coil causing a lot of flooding, I spent more time fiddling with it than I did actually vaping. I tried the BCC, it worked ok I just seem to prefer the draw and warmer vapor I get from the carto. I tried the EVOD, it went in the trash the same night. The vision stardust had the same flooding problem the iclear did and less vapor than the iclear when they each worked properly.

I put the question as a "tank that actually fits the raven" due to some posts about it not really fitting in the AGR. I would just like to avoid buying tanks that have known issues if possible. Will be looking around IBTanked.

Thank you for responding!!

There are a ton of genesis rba clones out there now that can be picked up fairly cheap. This would give you more flexibility all the way around, IMO. It is wicked (has wicks, not evil) but typically with SS mesh. I'm sure others will chime in because I opened the SS wick can of worms but with a RBA you can figure out what type of wick (ceramic, SS, silica, cotton, etc) works best for you AND you can build your own coils to get the "type" of Vape you want. Sure, they take a little work to set up but YOU can set it up how YOU like it.
 
I'm not opposed to RBAs, in fact I make the coils for my boyfriend (he has no patience lol). He has the RSST, I just didn't care for the tip on it honestly and it seems to be a bit messy so I just stuck with my cartos.
I looked at VVV, was interested in their Triple v premium (the 19.99 one) I might just order that one and test it out. If anyone has already used a Raven in it and could just say whether or not they had fitting issues maybe with how the o-rings sit in it or anything? Like I've said before I just don't want to make truly wasted purchases.
Very thankful for the replies and showing me vendors I hadn't seen before!
 
:) I'm a carto junkie myself, and somewhere around here i have about a shoebox full of drip tips haha...long story short, just about anything will leak when heated...try out one of those giant sized huge cartos with no holes...i had one a while back that held about 1/2 a day worth of juice...and refilled it on lunch or carried an extra...that'll probably be your best bet, they even come with cotton filler instead of the rolled stuff if you like...but even that will leak if you get it hot enough.
