Tanks???

Contrary to what most people call them... Technically the Vivi Nova is not a tank.
It's just a big Clearomizer.
Now if you drill a hole in it and drop it inside a bigger tube... then it would be a tank... A VERY BIG tank.
That's pretty much it. In my case I really like Ikenvape filler cartos, use them in a notcigs M1A1 tank. Ikenvape does a superb job in terms of consistency/quality control (the bane of cartos), and the M1A1 has been a leak-free, rugged, tank. I actually got an 801 top cap for my tube mod just so I could use the 801 fusion/M1A1 combination without an adapter.
I really like the Mini Nova, and the Kanger T3 seems decent enough. I also started playing with a tank/carto setup and think it is slowly winning me over. Wife has tried them all and loves the Stardust.
I would perhaps suggest picking up a couple different ones and seeing what works best for you.

There are two types of tanks. There are the clearo-tanks that mechanically are like large clearomizers, that utilize string wicks to draw the e-liquid to the atomizer, like the above mini Vivi Nova. The top unscrews for easy juice filling and cleaning.
The other type of tank is the cartotank. These use a cartomizer which is a steel tube with polyfill, a center air hole, and the atomizer within it. Holes are either present in the carto when purchased (pre-punched or pre-drilled) or one can purchase empty cartos and punch the holes themselves with a carto punch tool available from online vendors.
The tank is a juice reservoir for the carto, and juice is pulled into the cartomizer with each puff taken through the holes in the cartomizer. The is a slight learning curve involved with cartotanks, and learning how to assemble and fill a cartotank is essential before purchasing one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRmsIDJyY2g

I'm not ashamed to say this. I may have a little man crush on Baditude. I learned so much by just following your posts when I started vaping. Thanks for all the help!
You can also get the CE2 style cartomizers to run in tanks and get the best of both worlds as I look at it. You get the full 5-6 mL a tank holds along with a tasty vape from the CE2. I did a review on them and have been using them for over a month and have decided I will not be going back to regular polly fill cartos even though I still have about 20 of them left lol.

CE2 Tank Cartomizer Review
Actually, I find the taste in a carto tank is different in this respect... If setup correctly, every hit is like the first hit off a freshly filled carto. I don't like cartos outside of a tank, but inside is a much different story.
Love my vivi nova... Well my vision vivi nova. Beware of the knock offs. Comes with three heads and I take it apart after every tankfull and clean it with no leaking issues. My carto tank is good too as long as the liquid is thin enough, but that's my laziness I should just slot them.

Maybe some fans will start a "ASK BAD" thread?? Great idea consolidating all his/her work in one place.
Not a bad idea (no pun intended).
It would save me time going from one thread to another, one sub-forum to another.
And I am a "he", thank you.
