The ONE and ONLY carto tank set up

[AngiBe]

This probably has been asked I'm sure hundreds of times and if so, I apologize. Lead me to the proper thread and I will go from there. I'm asking ProVari owners to think through their arsenal and pick the one and only carto tank set up they could not "live" without or would recommend ONE on a ProVari for:

Best Performance
Best Quality Flavor
Least amount of hassles
Best looking on the ProVari-(it has to look good right?)

Any pics would be great too. There are a ton of carto tanks out there and I'm needing to expand my collection of three, yes I only have three.

I'm saving $$$ now and hope to buy 3-4 new ones in Jan. I already have my eye on a few but before I pull the trigger, I'm wanting ideas of what current ProVari owners think. Thanks

Thanks! And I was thinking that no one had a one favorite w/out any posts here. The Sophia is already marked on my list and was looking at the SnP too. Does the SnP only come in 22 mm and do you need a needle nosed bottle to fill the top fill holes?

Ibtanked 19mm i use smoktech single coil 2.0 ohms flanged
I use my own drip tips

If you buy cartos in ten or more the price drops.

I just love the ibtanks, i couldnt afford 8 at one time. I have one. When i get more im just getting the plain glass with the color caps. 19 mm is the perfect size. Glass is cheap to replace. No leaks no fiddling.

I have yet to find it. All I know is that I prefer the Standard IBTs over the XL IBTs. Also, I'm hoping that I find the incoming IKV cartos to my liking more so than the Boges.

I'm already to the point where I prefer the vape on my Kanger T2 (first ever atomizer after ditching the Blu's) over cartos. It's like I'm going backwards.

I'm not spending any more $$$ on a carto tank until after I've tried the IKVs. And if I get a Sophia/Wisdom/whatever, I'm gonna use it in the IBTs until I know I like it.

I guess it would have been smart to have said I already have 2 IBtanks and a Splash tank w/SmokTechs and IKenvape cartos but....wanted to see everyone else's opinions on their favs. I do like them, but wanted to try new ones. Looking at SnP, D-Base Tanks, Kir Fanis and the like.

I totally get what you're saying. I got a little nervous when I first got my ProVari and the first 3-4 toppers I bought were not to my liking. ProTanks (blah, yuck), IClear 30 ( hello metal taste) Aurora (I can't sqwonk right nor spell it)..carto tanks saved the day for me. Hope u find a great set up soon!

Don't think it can be bought in US. You can get it direct byLeo.

Actually, the one that darkgear posted in his pic was the 23mm SnP. The 23mm has the top and bottom external metal rings that cover the o-rings. I have the 22mm SnP - give me a sec and I will post a pic.

And yes, if you are going to fill it using the top fill holes you do need a metal needle nosed tip like this one. I find that it will fit on most vendor's juice bottles, so I usually just have to remove the OEM tip from the juice bottle and screw down the needle nose tip. Just make sure you screw it down tightly or else you are going to have a bit of a mess on your hands (and your ProVari) when the juice comes out over the lip of the cap instead of down into the tank. Not that I'd know anything about that personally.

Here is the 22mm SnP Tank:

All I have are IBT's in XL. There's some nice looking ones out there, but these were the best ones at the cheapest price. I can almost get 2 IBT's for the price of the majority of other tanks. If it weren't for cost, I'd spring for some other ones with better glass first - the clear IBT is fine, but I'm not impressed at all with their painted ones. 90% of them just look sloppy and/or done in haste - bubbles from going way too fast, uneven spirals, etc.

 

[baghandler]

And to answer your originally question, my "one and only" setup isn't a carto at all (surprise!) - it's the Sophia. The tanks I have (Loki Labs, IBT, GP SnP, Kir Fanis Privadero) seem to all function the same with the Sophia inside, or similarly enough, so as not to make one stand out from the rest on functionality. The difference in tanks then, for me, at least, is aesthetic. And in that regard, I think the Privadero is stunning on the polished mini, since it is also polished. Plus you do not need a separate beauty ring with the Privadero. The GP SnP is also quite good looking - I happen to like the exposed o-rings of the 22mm, but the 23mm is also a looker.

Here is the Privadero on the polished mini (with Sophia inside):

OK, plz don't laugh cuz this question maybe real dumb. Darkgear's pic is a 23mm SnP and this one you posted is a SnP 22 mm if i understand you correctly. Why does it look like yours holds more MLS of juice when his is bigger? Or am I missing something here?

 

[darkgear]

I don't know if this missing the question since both my answers don't include cartos but...

Second is this. AMP tank and regular 510 atomizers.

It hits the first 3 of your criteria. It's better than the Sophia in hassle because you don't have to wrap coils. It falls short in the looks department.

I can't make a direct comparison, but I think that it looks that way because the 23mm has the metal top and bottom caps that fit over the glass at the top and the bottom of the tank, where the 22mm does not. So there is more visible glass on the 22mm than on the 23mm.

 

[darkgear]

Maybe this will help with the SnP tank.

Naked tanks in the background are exactly the same. The 22mm has the caps on the left. The 23mm has the caps on the right. Far right is the SnP ProRing that replaces the bottom cap of the 23mm set.

Your 23mm tank is buck nekkid! Did it tell you it was OK to post that pic?!

DUH! Ok got what you guys are saying....I do LOVE the looks of these SnP tanks, love the fact there's a fill hole and think they look awesome on the ProVari. If you didn't use the Sophia, whats the second choice carto you'd use?
