Tripple digits half way to home
Just wondered how others carry their carto/tanks around. I've got 3 IB tanks, 2- 19mm and one 25mm. If I take off the drip tip they fit into the "Thingy", but I don't want to take off the drip tips. Found one perscription bottle that the 19mm with drip tip fits in but it rattles around a bit. Or do I just carry too much stuff everyday. Wait let me count. Ok got two empty so that's only 10 with juice in em. (Yea I know I carry a lot of different flavors) I'm more concerned about my new carto/tanks than the nova's and stardust's

I bought one of these at Hobby Lobby for $17. It was a sewing mini-tool kit that had elastic bands built in to hold mini tools and a zipper to close it up. Up to 8 of my tanks of 3.5-6ml can fit in the elastic bands. I liked it so much I bought another.

The above APV organizer/carry case is from Smokeless Image for their X2 batteries for $14. I like it over the other Ego-style cases because the webbed pockets open the same on both sides. Big enough to carry a Silver Bullet and Provari, extra batteries, and some tanks.

I carry it, my two tank cases, and my I-Pod Touch in the above Swiss Gear shoulder bag that I found at Staples. It was meant to house two mini-laptops and was around $18. It easily fits in my locker at work, or would fit in a desk drawer, too.

I just knew that my TANK MAN would come through for me. I really like that one from Hobby Lobby. I only got 3 tanks so far but don't want anything to happen to my new babies! I'm still wanting to get a Phiniac. Been looking hard at em. So far IB Tanks are about all I can afford, and they been great so far. Now just to learn how to punch carto's with that saddle valve I got at Lowes for $4.00 last night.

Rest assured those 3 tanks will not be your last. :laugh:

I have a Phiniac tube on my Bella Ellegance tank. No doubt they are top-notch in quality and highly pleasing as a unique art piece if you decide to go that route. But the quality and economical praticality of the IB Tanks are such that you can get 2-3 of them compared to a Phiniac. It's great to have a choice.

As you may know if you follow my posts, and I know you do, I've stopped punching my own. I get more consistancy with the laser drilled holes already there when I buy new cartos. The minimal additional cost is very much worth it to me to avoid the frustration I had with punching my own. YMMV.

Just tore one of the $4.00 saddle valves apart and the needle was bent to heck. Seems that the carto slides to much on the bottom of the saddle. Oh well, I'll try one more time and then it's back to the laser drilled. BTW where do you get your laser drilled at "electronicstix.com" or some where else?

LOL I spent all day yesterday going back and forth between the two sites. The way I had it figured out at one point it was a $10.00 difference between the two. I hate making decissions.

I get mine here: Single Coil XL Tank Cartomizer for the SmokTank XL

I buy 2.0 ohm for the Silver Bullet and BB (being they are 3.7v) and 3.0 ohm for the variable voltage Provari. I get some 1 and 2 hole for both ohms. Normal ratio juices get the 1 hole; anything with more than 60% vg gets the 2 hole cartos. Could get a little confusing with four sets of cartos, but they are neatly organized in a small plastic cabinent with pull-out drawers, which have dividers and are labeled.

I can't remember what size tanks you ordered. Almost all of my tanks are longer, so I get the XL cartomizers. $2.00 each for laser-drilled cartos, with my choice in number of holes and choice of ohms, is a good deal. I have yet to get a bad carto out of probably 40 ordered from Smoktek.

I've always wanted to try some Ikenvape Platinum cartos, but every time I check the website they are out of stock.
