    Carto tanks suck. I went down that route 6 months ago and they are great 1 out of 7 times. I would save your money and try something else. Vivi Novas are a regular 510 connector. No adapter involved. The Minis fit on an eGo batt nicely.



    For $14 you get the tank and 3 heads. I bought 3 full size over a 2 month span. Then they released the minis so naturally I had to buy a couple of those.:D

    Ya Bogegate sucked for sure, but they have that resolved ... at least for now.

    See, now there are plenty of options for staying with 808's. SI has the X2, an eGo styled passthru from 650 to 1300 mAh; V4L and NHaler have VV 808 threaded devices; and from everything I've read Kanger and SI are much more consistent with their 808 cartomizers than either Smoktek or Boge are with their 510's.

    Not really trying to knock 510's or eGo's here, it's just that there are a number of "big boys" options for 808's that are available these days that most people seem to be unaware of. The argument that you have to move from 808's to 510's doesn't hold as much water as a year or two ago, or even 4 months ago.

    I sit corrected. I had no idea such things existed.

    Have you ever opened up a carto after 6 or 7 fills and looked at the filler closest to the coil? Dont get me wrong, I wouldn't of made it without cartos, but knowing what I know now I feel as if I can steer you in better directions.

    Oh-ya I've opened up a fair share of cartos to see what they look like inside. Nothing in there but caramelized e-liquid ... unless you fry them. Last summer the quality of cartos went down the tube, so many switched to the clearos of one type or another, and some just went back to dripping full time. Sure is nice that we have choices for when a product goes south for a while.
    I already have about every Vision & Kanger product made, every dripping atty you can think of, and RBA's & Gennies, as well as carto tanks, so I'm not quite sure where you could steer me, but I'm always open to suggestions.

    My bad. I have been in about 6 threads this afternoon. I didn't realize that this one wasn't all newbies. Your the one who supposed to be steering me. :facepalm:

    Oh I saw that fairly recent one, but I didn't go in. I didn't realize there were more than that. I think the Zenfidels are the worst. Somebody posts a Zen product in the classys for $.50 above retail and the whole crowd comes running like a lynch mob and derails the thread until it gets closed. It's actually quite organized, or appears that way.
    Anyway, back to our show. :)

    Started with a Ego. Moved to a Roughstack V2 w/ every possible carto combination - Resurrector, Boge LR, Kanger. Three switches later finally ended up with X2 from Smokeless Image.

    While I loved the battery life of the 18650 Roughstack, I hated the constant upkeep on keeping it going. Having to lift center posts, Boges won't screw down all the way, Juice plugging up the switches. Still keep it handy for the odd direct dripping on a 306 LR.

    But in the End........... I'm satisified with the 808 especially with their cartos. I disassemble them once per week, clean the filler, dry burn, blot dry the filler, and then reinstall using the coffee stirrer trick. I'm on the same 5 pack of cartos for the past 5 months. Vapes like new.

    I like the no hassle of putting the carto on and it fires.... every time. In the event that my battery dies, I can just pop in to the local truck stop and grab a Mistic battery for $7 bucks that will still fire the carto until the big batt replacement shows up. Best of all worlds really since there are no 510 cartos within 2 hours drive of me.

    I love my striped ebony Gandalf from epipemods. Such a great experience every time I vape. And I like how the vapor cools as it flows through the 8" churchwarden mouthpiece, so the flavor isn't hindered by any other senses. And I love my e juices.

    Hi, Kable. I bought the hubbo a pipe for Christmas, but got a cheaper one from The Vapor Girl. I did look at epipemods, but until I'm sure he can take care of a more expensive model appropriately, he'll get the cheaper one. He is very hard on equipment. Glad you like yours. They have some awesome looking ones!
