Hey guys looking for a tank that will last me long. As we all know CE4's aren't the best mine died pretty quickly. Looking for a tank that will last me long, and wouldn't need replacement coils very often. Also hoping these tanks are glass so they don't break with certain juice. I was thinking the evod glass 2 or the aspire k1. Any ideas? And will these tanks fit on my battery?

do you want to get into rebuildables ?

If so get your self the subox starter kit or a subtank mini with a istick 50w for lung hits and a Kayfun 3.1 for mouth to lung . That is the ideal setup pretty much for me .
I wouldn't mind but it seems like a lot of maintenance? I'd rather have a mod but not an RDA. Just something that lasts long and relatively cheap.

It's not required that you use the rebuildable portion with the subtanks. They come with stock coils that last for a long time, especially compared to my evods.

What do you use to power your tanks that will determine what you use for a tank system. If you aren't opposed to a new setup then a 50 watt box like the new sub box, a Sigelei 50 watt, I-Stick 50 or something along those lines and then get into a billow v2 tank system or a UD Goblin or something along those lines where you can build your coils and rewick them when necessary until you decide you want to rebuild it completely.
The builds last much longer and really are less maintenance than a plug and play tank system.
Just a suggestion I'm no guru but I find that these style tanks last longer build wise and are much less expensive maintenance wise than subohm tank systems that use coil heads.

Hi OP. As an iStick 50W owner, I would caution you against buying one. Given all of the 50W issues that have been cropping up over the past couple of months (auto-firing being the most alarming), I've been recommending people look at other devices like the Sigelei 50W, the IPV Mini 70W, or the MVP 3 Pro. Some of the newer devices like the Subbox and and eVic-VCT look interesting as well. Even an iStick 30W would work well for you, assuming you don't want to sub ohm past .4Ω/30W.

If you'd still like to purchase an iStick 50W, you'll need to answer one very important question for yourself:

If you've been using the CE4 you're using a disposable (cost at Easy Vapors: $2.15). The CE4+ (or CE4 Plus) has replacement coils that I've seen at Easy Vapors selling 5-for-$6.49, so they're hardly expensive. And you can buy the nondisposable "tank" with a coil in it for $3.12 at the same place. I'm not pushing Easy Vapors but that's just an example.

Glass tanks are pricier and will inevitably require replacement coils because no one would pay the higher ($5 to $10) price for a disposable. I got an Aspire ET-S BVC Clearomizer (glass tank) at Mt Baker for $6.89, and they also sell the coils (5-for-$8.49). Again, I'm not pushing any supplier.

I mention these two because (1) they're in your comfort zone, (2) they'll work with your battery, (3) they are well known and so you can easily Google them to find suppliers and compare prices & shipping costs. The tank-cracking flavors are well known so use the glass tanks for them. The cheaper tanks are fine otherwise.

I don't much like the CE4+ clearos so I use the EV-H2, which is similar but has a bottom coil. Filling the clearo is less convenient but you quickly get the swing of it and the clearo holds more fluid than the CE4+. The EV-H2s don't have that that removeable tip, which gets gross after a while. I just ordered a mixed-colors ten-pack, coils included, from Derall for $16 (free shipping)! The coils are not as easy to find but range in price from $1 to $1.50. Derall is out of the 2.4 ohm coils at the moment but will probably restock them. Easy Vapors always has them in stock, 5-for-$7.10. {Note: Easy Vapor has FedEx shipping only (new policy) so you'll pay at least $6 for that.} My thought is: Why would I buy 5 coils from Easy Vapors for $7.10 + $6 shipping ($13.10) when I can buy 10 clearos-with-coils for $16, no shipping?

I wouldn't jump too quickly into the more sophisticated gear. As Friar Laurence said, "Wisely and slow. They stumble that run fast" (Romeo and Juliet). His advice was ignored, and the consequence wasn't pretty.
