Let me also add some appreciation from Belgium to Baditude.
I have to "tank" him.
His blogs are great, his advice is great, without pushing his opinion up to people.
He "learned" me all about cartomisertanks ( tankomiser sounds better), I still use my iClear30, but I started to use cartotanks, "tanks" to him.
And I love them all. I started with some cheap tanks, and yes, the flavour of the cartomisers combined with the capacity of a tank, this is really my thing.
I did not yet ordered an IBTanked or a Bella, but I gonna give myself a nice X-MAS surprise and order some of them, and for my daughter surely a Bella tank (they are so girlie-sweet)
What I like the most about Baditude is that he learns the people appreciate carto's in a tank, for me the best way to vape.
I do not say that RBA's are not good, not at all, but I love the simplicity of cartotanks versus RBA's, just put a new carto and vape again, and like I told before, those cartotanks looks nice, and the flavour is great (once again for me, everyone has his own opinion of course)
This forum is addictive, and a few days after I bought my svd, I had the "luck" to find a topic "pictures of your setup". A new world opened for me, and before I knew I was in love with some mechanical mods.
And in one month I bought myself a caravela 'replica' (sounds better like a clone), a nemesis 'replica', and I really feel the need of putting an IBtanked/Bella on it....
Second "tank" to Baditude is his Batt advice.
It cannot be told enough, we are working with batteries at a few inches from our face. I really appreciate the advice I was reading from him. It cannot be said enough, over and over again.... And I even think there has to be a regulation on batteries, and on chargers. If you see some of the batteries/chargers that some companies sell, well, I can tell I do not want to burn down my house or blow up my face....
... better be carefull then have accidents with bad or cheap batteries. For me a battery is THE MOST important part of the whole vaping thing, and only the best is good enough.
For me personal, I also will always use a kick on mech mods, just to be sure (I am not searching for clouds of vapor, I want a hassle-free good looking good functionating "vape-machine".
Using cheap batteries sounds to me like racing with a Ferrari after you let the oil flew out the brakes, not done. Another reason for me to use always a kick in a mechanical. The amount of vape does not matter anymore if you ruine your face because of the use of cheap batteries.
So, I consider Baditude as the most value member for me, he is the godfather of tankomisers, and the battery-angel.
"Tank" you for all your advice, Baditude. "Tank" you very much
