The tank v3 by scottua

[CrazyChef]

I wouldn't have straight out paid $250 for it. It's honestly not worth $250 - maybe $150 at the most. So I sold a mod I wasn't using to pay for it. Basically an indirect trade. BTW - the mod cost me $0.00.

I'd be interested to hear your take on it.
Quality? Leaks?

the quality is fantastic. if bottom fill there is no leaking. if you top fill and not wicked heavily then you might get some.. With the shorty glass things are much better IMO. It's a great quality tank.
My buying advice would be:
if you are only interested for the vape experience go get something else.
To be honest for 250$ I was expecting vape magic, considering the quality and vape experience the new rtas offer these days.
if you don't mind spending the 250$ go get it, this is a good tank. my only complain would be the condensation that collects over time in the afc. Occasionally during the day you have to wipe it once but that's expected..

Bottom fill? Honestly? Nowadays that's absolutely ridiculous and oldschool.
A good designed top fill RTA should be able to hold the juice in while filling. And there are a lot of much cheaper tanks that do so.

I will bottom fill topfill tanks if it's easier to do so (there are a few that meet that definition, for example one topfill tank I have causes the entire tank to become loose and just sit in it's housing? Casing? whatever, which usually results in leaking as you have to fill while trying to keep the tank still so it doesn't leak. Bottom fill is WAY easier, in that tank. Sometimes, flooding and slight seepage can happen filling a topfill RTA if you don't go nice and slow enough but I have a few topfill designed tanks I just really prefer to bottom fill.

As well as some bottom fill tanks (Kabuki) that are an easier fill than some of my topfill tanks, etc.

A top fill tank that is easier to fill from the bottom wouldn't stay in my rotation. And in my collection only if it looks really, really awesome and is just worth displaying.

 

[stols001]

I happen to love that tank, it takes C-cells and it's awesome. I like it's looks, too, so I definitely will not be getting rid of it simply because it's SUPER easy to bottom fill and hard to topfill.... really, who cares, if it works, and it works well? Topfill is just an option really.... I don't quite get it at all....

I just don't like unscrewing the tank from the mod whenever I want to refill it. And that it's messy most of the time. At least with the tanks I've used. That's all.

 

[stols001]

Unscrewing top from the mod.... Not really so different from unscrewing bottom of the TANK (not the entire thing) of the mod...

I don't create any more or less mess than I do with topfill tanks, and if I limited myself to them that would be... well I'd have a lot less flexibility and options than I do now. I enjoy a nice, well designed top fill tank, but I'm just not really that picky, and I find that sometimes, bottom fill is far easier and less messy.... But, we all have our vape preferences so by all means...

With bottom fill you have to unscrew the whole tank and then the base. With bottom fill only the topcap. For me this is a real pain in the a**.
But you're right. If it suits you, who am I to argue with you? As long as you're happy, everything's fine.

 

[vexx]

Well don’t forget that it holds 10ml so it’s not that much of a hustle..
You can top fill it but you have to stuff it with cotton and at least 4mm id coils, at least that’s what works for me.
Imagine This as something nice to have, not something that will blow the rest of your vape stuff away.

 

[mimöschen]

Ah ok. If you can wick it so it doesn't leak on refill, then it's not too bad I guess.
And if you enjoy it, that's fine for me too.
It's just not my cup of tea.

To be honest I regret spending 250$. But what the hell..

 

[mimöschen]

I guess, the road to hell is paved with good intensions.

 

[mimöschen]

Meh. Double post.

 

[CrazyChef]

and at least 4mm id coils

Who told you that? I have 3.5mm in mine, and it's working great.

 

[mimöschen]

Perhaps it depends on the juice and its VG/PG ratio used?

 

[vexx]

Who told you that? I have 3.5mm in mine, and it's working great.

It depends on the juice, wick material and short/ tall conversion. In my case the 10 ml mode with top fill works best with 4mm id. 3.5 is borderline and might sipp a little if top fill.

 

[CrazyChef]

I would have to say that most leaking tank issues have to do with incorrect wicking. You can put 2mm coils in the Scottua, and if wicked correctly it won't leak.

I'm still happy with the Hurricane 1.3. Bottom fill and I don't have to remove the entire atty....just unscrew the tank, fill, screw the tank back on. No mess, no spills, no messing around with airflow settings or juice flow control..... I like it. There's also less orings to fail. Winner

Me, bottom fill is a PiA and I won't deal with it other than my SquapeRs and I rarely ever use it due to it"s bottom fill.
