I love my ProTank! I do agree, the "airy" draw takes some getting used to, though. Is there a reason you need so many? Not trying to be personal, but they hold tons of juice! :vapor:

I usually have 3 different eliquids that I vape at a time. I like to change up often. I'll take a few puffs from one, then switch to another, etc. It saves a lot of time to do it this way, so that's my reason for wanting several tanks. :)

I bought 2 and now want 5 more! :laugh: I have like 4 different juices around me right now that I personally would like to have their own tanks for...with 4 more awesome juices on the way from M-E-L.

Yes, LOL, that's my reason. I have 4 favorite liquids and I like to change up often. It saves so much time when you have them set up and ready to go. :)

I have a few suggestions of juice delivery devices safe to use with all flavors in this blog article:

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...6-something-safe-cinnamon-citrus-flavors.html

Since the OP is looking to purchase multiple cartotanks on a budget, and she already has a source of cartomizers, I would recommend the polypropylene tubes from My Vapor Store Pro DCTank Tube . You will be purchasing just the tube and endcaps; no drip tip or cartomizer included. If you need drip tips, too, they have relatively inexpensive ones here for $3 -- http://www.myvaporstore.com/Drip_Tips_E_Cigarette_s/68.htm

These take a 45mm XL cartomizer, and are available in a 3.5 ml size (best size for an eGo battery) and a 6 ml size (if you don't mind a top-heavy looking battery device) for the same price -- $8.50. Available in colors or frosted clear.

How do you use the ones that you mentioned? Do you have to put the carto inside the tube? I'm sorry...don't mean to sound dumb. LOL! I am just so new to all of this. I LOVE My Vapor Store. I order from them the most. :)

Ok...I got a question....I am looking at the DCT Protank from MyVaporStore.com...from this link...https://www.myvaporstore.com/v/vspfiles/assets/images/dualcoiltankinstructions.jpg
Why do you fell the cartomizer, insert in tank, then put more liquid in the tank itself? Also, do you have to use only stainless steel cartos for this tank?

Both the cartomizer and the tank need to be filled properly, or you will surely run into issues. The below blog article has a step by step instruction on how to fill both properly. There is also a video that shows how to do this in that article (minus the tooth pick tip). Improper filling of either will result in either burning the cartomizer or flooding it.

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/blogs/baditude/3710-5-cartomizer-tank-setup.html

Use only the silver stainless steel cartomizers. The black colored ones have a sticker or decal on them that you don't want to be in your juice, and it is extremely difficult to try to remove.

It goes without saying to use the proper length cartomizer to go with the length of tank you are using.

Cartomizer to be used in a cartotank also need to have holes in order for the juice in the tank to be able to replenish the vaped juice in the cartomizer. These can be either pre-punched (laser drilled) or you can use a carto punch tool to punch your own holes. I highly recommend beginning with pre-punched cartos as punching your own just adds more things to potentially to go wrong with a new cartotank user. One or two pre-punched holes work fine with most e-liquids.

One more question then I think that will be all...for now. :) Do you suggest single coil or double coil cartos for the tubes?
Personally I prefer single coil cartomizers. I found no advantage to using dual coils; in fact, I found that they often gave me a burnt taste and drain batteries faster than single coils do.

I did a commentary on my experience with dual coil vs single coils in the article on cartotank setup that I provided a link to.

And once again I agree with Brother Bad. I've only used dual coils twice. Never liked the way they vaped or performed. For me it's single coil or nothing. But then I got a good stock pile of single coil carto's, so I'm not worried. But then everyone to their own preference. Some like the dual coil and some like the single. YMMV.
