Tank for high VG

[HappyTimeHarry]

I'm looking for a tank style mod to vape high VG juices that is simple to use. I currently run the DCT with Boge cartos and it works okay, but I don't like having to punch holes in the cartos constantly. I've tried the Nova and don't like the quality of the vapes. I get a lot of dry hits which I've read is a problem with them, probably especially with high VG. Has anyone used the Acorn tank. I know it is a CE2 tank, so will it have the same issues as the Nova? Will it handle thinker juices well? Are there any other suggestions?

As always, any help is greatly appreciated.

I saw some pyrex tanks earlier today. I think the big problem with high VG is cartos though, right? It's not a tank thing, but a delivery thing...I think.

Yes, I get that. It works well when I punch the cartos, but I don't want to have to constantly do that. I'm wanting a tank, like a CE2, where you don't have to punch the cartos but can just fill and vape. Thanks for the reply though.

I have seen vendors that offer double punched cartos. Also, a slice with a dremel might be better for super thick all VG.

Nearly everything that requires wicking/capillary action will have problems with high VG. You could thin your juice with distilled water or PGA to use a CE2/3/4/5/218/.../ type Cartomizer, but then you are just trading one time intensive labor for another.

Maybe you just need a more efficient carto punch?

But, by all means, experiment and find what works best for you.

Also, the Acorn tank (if we are talking about the same thing) is just a modded vial or jar that can be fitted over a modded CE* clearomizer. Far from the "fill and vape" that you are looking for.

Here is one supplier that offers double and triple punched cartos, Pre Punched Replacement tank cartomizers I have seen other suppliers that offer the same thing, but can't remember which ones.

Yea, that's what I was afraid of. I found that little key ring carto punch on AvidVapor. I might try that out unless people have not had a good experience with it.

here is something to consider....

I have switched over to this system for the last couple of months (same atomizer) and can't say enough good things about it!! I love the fact that it is AMERICAN MADE!! (and sourced) but also I know the unit is free of contaminants like nasty solder and fiberglass and that makes me feel great about using my AVA with RES kit! Did I mention it's American made????
Also forgot to mention...AVA is great for high VG juices!!
I will check on the linky.....

the link doesn't work, did the forum censor get it?

 

[HappyTimeHarry]

Are you suggesting a $200.00 vaporizor to me? I doubt I will bite on that when I came here looking for a $20-$30 tank. Thanks though.

 

[Rader2146]

For me, that carto punch would be a waist of a $20 bill. Most carto punchers that I've seen are WAY over priced for what they are. That perticular one is $5 drill bit hub and a sharpened $.25 screw. I use a an old chunk of 2x4 with a 5/16" hole drilled in it and a 2" deck screw. However, I do realize that not everyone can make their own stuff. In which case you have to be willing to pay market price.

 

[HappyTimeHarry]

Yea, I didn't get that one. I found one on Valley View Vapes for $6.00 that was worth trying, cheap enough. Thanks for the heads up though.

If your using VG juice you may want to try using a dremmel and putting two nice cuts in the side of your carto, about 3/16 wide by about 3/8" long, this will pull your juice in better then a small carto punch hole, just a suggestion.

Most tanks work best with pg and vg as I'm sure you know. Are you allergic to pg? If not, I'd say give the mixed ratio a try sometime. Something like 70pg to 30vg is great for tanks, and it still makes large vapor/gives throat hit.

Most tank works for me. Just need to play around with the carto and when you got the setup.. it is nice!! 100% VG is killing my carto now, still experimenting. Few help and so far so good

Why not just add a few drops of distilled water to the juice?
