Hey I'd like everyone's personal opinions on their favourite tank system/cartotanks. I've tried ce4's meh, ce3's awful, esco e2 leaky but great flavour, ce4 cc worked well but leaky. I'm just wondering if there is something out there that i just haven't come across. Btw my favourite thing to use is a kanger horizontal cartomizer because all my tanks and high tech looking gizmos have stopped working for the most part. Thanks in advance I would love to know what you're all using.

Well looks like the only ones you havent tried are the Vivi Novas, they are pretty good, I still say the T2 long wick is better, but I have not had any flooding or leaking from the Vivi. Carto tanks are pretty much all the same, some are glass some are plastice, it basically boils down to look and how well the o-rings grip.

Until a month ago I was perfectly happy with carto tanks and mega DC Smoktech cartos--then I tried the Kanger T2's and since I had bad experience"s with clearos was quite surprised at how good they were. Enter the Vivi Nova ---now all the other tanks,clearos and cartos sit unused--for me the Nova's are that good. I second everything X P3 and shockabsorber said above!

I've been avoiding getting a carto tank since Boges have been off lately. At some point I might break down and buy a phiniac instead of the DCT I have.

I agree with the Vivi .. I'm a bit unhappy with the long center pin thing and I managed to strip an ego a bit over tightening one. I think you need one of these these with the Vivi; eGo Steel Sleeve Cone (Type C / Type D) [F-D7 DC TypeCD] - $2.50 : Healthcabin Electronic Cigarettes - Wholesale and Retail plus you should file down the center pin as soon as you get it.

I liked the Kanger T2 even better than the Vivi, but after breaking one within a couple days - I'm not sure any more. I've ordered a couple more to try. Perhaps I'm too hard on my stuff. :facepalm:

showmethevapa --I do use both the Vivi Nova(4 of them) and T2's (3 of them) but I find I put my fave juice's in the Vivi's.They both work very well though--personal choice as to which one you might prefer--my suggestion--try both and see for yourself. With both it's so easy to just clean the heads and use a different juice-- couldn't do that with my carto tanks! What type of device you'll be using them on may factor in --the T2's work and look great on an Ego because of the Ego connection while the Vivi looks great on my Provari. Bottom line -- after terrible luck with the early generation clearo tanks I'm so happy I gave them another chance-- boy have they worked out the kinks in these things !

I've got some wire and wick coming from Jugheads today and I'm gonna attempt making my own coils for the V Nova-- if it works out BIG $$ savings!

I Just started using a Vivi Nova v2.5 a week and a half ago and I really like it. I use to use the vision clearomizers but the Vivi Nova is a better vape I think.

If you watch the videos by pbusardo on Youtube you will see that the boges did change. Its only the boges with the shorter silicon caps that have that off taste. Also after watching the videos by pbusardo and GrimmGreen they are sure the ikenvape LR cartos are made by Boge (silver tip not gold tip). I too want a Phiniac tank or the new trap tank and I was using Kangers but I'm going to order some ikv LR cartos for whatever tank I get.

I got mine from Electric Cigarettes | E Cigarettes Canada | Buy Electronic Cigarettes and Vivi Nova 2.5 super secret back door edition + replacement parts Long Wick SR now available.
The V3 Nova from Vaporus is their own "branded" VVivi Nova (Same manufacturer as where Vision gets theirs)--they also have the actual Vision version.Same deal with Canvape's "Vivi Nova 2.5 super secret back door edition" (not Vision). I've got 2 full size V3 Nova's from Vaporus and 2 minis from Canvape--they all work great. Canvape's price is cheaper but you get one extra head with the Vaporus kit so it's really about the same. I don't find alot of difference between long and short wicks--get long and you can cut them if you want

I used to love the dct but that was for straight pg. my main vape is double chocolate 30%vg and it doesn't wick well at all. I find I have to constantly puff on it without the button on to wet the carto or it dries up (I have it sitting beside me off a battery to puff on so it will be soaked enough for work)

Current and fav setup is with the kanger horizontal coil cartos in a phiniac tank. Only downside is that you can't switch out liquids if it's your only setup. I'm waiting for my vivi nova and am excited to try it. The nice option is that they can be turned into a rebuildable and be used with 100% vg with the right wick material and setup. From vaporus, I have tried their V3 Vapors Horizontal Bottom Coil LR Cartos and I think they perform a wee bit better than the kangers.

So I just received my vivi nova v2 from gentlemens reserve, im loving it so far. Just gotta ask if the v3's from vaporus are better than the v2 or if they are essentially the same. Thanks

They're probably the same --I've got the Vaporus V3--he says he got the manufacturer to make his own "branded ' version -- I do like that his doesn't have the useless ml markings on the tube--just a simple "V3" logo

What interests me about the Vaporus V3 is that they claim it's stronger plastic, so I assume you can use it with acidic/cinnamon juices. Is this still a problem with the V2?

I have never heard of a v3 from anywhere else. It makes sense that he had this own branded version from the manufacturer.

I doubt the plastic is any different, every clearomizer has been claiming that they use a harder plastic for the past little while and I haven't read anything about anyone having problems with any clearomizer and foggy/cracking for a pretty long time now.

What I'm curious about is this; "It features a sealed connector with an airhole on the side of the base itself to ensure great draw." Has his version been modded to have an additional air hole aside from the 2 in the 510 connection ? I can't see anything different in his pictures.
