When I saw the new Ego and Tornado Tank system my first thoughts about using it were:
1. Will I never have to wipe the oozing e-juice from the .... of an atty again?
2. Will I never have to spit out the e-juice out of my mouth that seeped up the mouthpiece again?
3. Will I never have to put up with the nasty taste of an atty that is not wicking properly and burning the e-juice because the element is too dry, making that diminishing sizzle sound after the draw is completed?

The very last thought was "Hey, I wont need to re-fill as much!"

I have seen some reviews of the new tank system, But they all just talk about: "vapor production", "throat hit" and "how much liquid it holds". If you have been using the tank system for a while now, please answer my previous questions, and let me know if the tank atty will work on my 510 "Spade" or "Joker" battery mod without an adapter? Thank You

I know that E-cigs have been used in other countries for a long time now. But when I started using them 6 months ago, and noticed the little annoyances that came with them, I wondered why nobody has solved them. When I started to think of ways that might fix these annoyances I realized: 1. These country's that have been using e-cigs for the previous six years are all socialist countries and they were waiting for the government to fix the problems. and 2. The free (at least for now) country USA has only been vapeing the last year, and the people in the States with the time and investment will be making this e-cig stuff work properly.
I am sorry about the politics, But freedom is the best!!! I don't want DADDY Government to take care of me. Daddy Government will always fail you.

1. yes
2. yes
3. this comes from pretty much any PV device i believe.

IMO the tank system is a good idea, but hasnt been perfected yet. In comparison to carts and straight dripping, the vaping lacks in flavor and TH. Vapor production is there but that means poo if you cant taste it. I will use my ego tank for driving..other than that, im dripping.

Well, finally tried them out. I bought just two to check them out. The first one I used seemed to be "alright". It didn't leak through the atty, had good vapor, didn't burn liquid, but had very little TH, even with menthol flavors. I showed my vaping buddy the new tanks, and he liked them and bought a full kit. I stopped using it, because it wasn't very satisfying, and went back to my old tech atty's.
I talked to my buddy, and he said that he liked the tanks and that they had pretty good TH. So I tried the second one that I bought, and it was better than the first one. It had good TH and fuller flavor than the first one, so I kept using it and it lasted up to three weeks.
So I bought three more. The first of the three was really bad, It kept burning the liquid and always made that after-burn sound. I tried everything to get that one to wick. The second one wicked better, but had very little taste and TH like the very first one I tried. The last one I had burned like first of the three I bought.

SO IN CONCLUSION:

5 tanks bought.

1 Worked very good.
2 Didn't work good enough. Little flavor and throat hit.
2 Were really bad. Burning the liquid.

One out of five is not good at all. SO PLEASE, don't buy me any EGO-Tanks for Christmas.
By the way, My buddy isn't using the Tanks any more. He likes the CE2 Clearomizers more.

You could do what most people do - use cartomizers. Boge are most popular. And there are lots of other kinds and reservoir cartos that need a syringe too. I use plain old Boge - standard resistance for me since I share them with a slim 510. But the fat-battery models can optionally use the hotter LR Boge cartos and they are very popular. I get the longest good performance out of a carto w/ thin (20% or less VG) light colored clear juices. If filled and topped off properly and carefully and cleaned up they will rarely leak or sputter any juice in your mouth. I do not use the condom push method or filling, I do not spin them to force in more juice. I pop the cap to add juice, I keep all of the stuffing damp, and I get 1-2 weeks good use out of a Boge. It's a slight added expense to vaping. I only put my favorite thin juices in cartos. For thicker juices and ones I infrequently vape, I drip at home.
