tanks

[Bekinder]

I have been an avid dripper for over 3 years. I had been looking at different tanks and wondered how well they work as to air-flow? I'm not wanting the type that you have to work on with wires and wicks....not that mechanical and don't want the hassle. May not want one at all as to the air-flow question. Don't want to cut down on the hit of the e-juice. If the convenience is there without the air-flow issues, it sounds desirable. Please let me know your experience with them?

I use an ibtank with Ikenvape cartos on a ProVari. I push the tank all the way down so it's flush against the mod, then raise it back up about a millimeter. No air issues if I do that.

Since you've been an avid dripper for a long time and perhaps wouldn't like the 'carto' taste. I would suggest the AMP tank since you can use it with 510 atomizers. Since you don't want to deal with air-flow issues, perhaps run it in manual feed mode only. I use it from time to time especially when I travel, although most of my vaping has been using rbas. It always gives me a great vape and haven't experienced any leaking issues either.

I would have to suggest a Killer 705 KILLER 705 in an easy fill tank like the Kir Fanis Trap tank Trap Tank - Avid Vaper.

Cartos do tend to mute flavors a bit. On a different note Zen claims his new carto tank solves the flavor muting issues even with Bogegate cartos...just don't know if it will be released in a 510 version or not.

You said that you wouldn't want to tinker with wires and stuff, but I'd still HIGHLY recommend an RBA, Genesis or not. IT'S THAT GREAT, REALLY. Although it will most likely turn out to be your worst vape of all time with your first build, but when it's already working good, it will vape even better.

A big thanks to you skoot, Absintheur, Telescope Neil, and tinshi. I am awaiting a Provari Mini and a Super T ELA. Nice units I understand and will look into these to dress them out.

You won't regret the Provari. It gives you the stability and consistency to experiment with the top end stuff.

There are three "types" of tanks:

clearotanks (clearomizers and clearotanks like vivi novas and their clones) using silica string wicks to bring juice to the heating coil.

cartotanks - using polyfiber to wick juice to the heating coil, and using a tank surrounding the carto to allow larger quantities of juice.

RBA tanks - using either steel mesh, silica, or other wicking materials to bring juice to the heating coil.

I cover the first two in an article that I wrote here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/blogs/baditude/3230-1-proper-terminology-carto-tank-what-primer-juice-delivery-attachments.html

I primarily use cartotanks for most of my vaping needs, although I have begun using a couple of RBA tanks. Below are links to a cartotank tutorial and a comprehensive review of a pyrex cartotank that I highly recommend:
