First off seeing as my Stout is at work, thanks for the mod Rixy babes.

I have been using this tank for 7 months, it has never leaked, never gurgled, retrospect to what everyone says, it is still to this day the smoothest vape I have had out of them all and I don't say that lightly. I'm not sure if it's the afc or the smaller chimney, I am using Rixy's Clapton coils in it and the flavor is better than the Super tank, I have vaped them side by side and it just is, probably the smaller chimney again.

With the new style tank, I think it looks sexy and it's definitely an eye catcher, its a proper chick tank :) Many hate it for reasons I wont go into fully, it's old news, I don't care, I'm sick of defending it, so I'll leave it there. I love mine to bits ;)

Is that a Triton?? Gawd how I hated the Triton. Worst mass market tank ever made. Good coils for it though

Rixta mentioned the Starre Pro. Thats quite the pice of engineering. Best flavor tank I've ever had but to many goofy things about it. But the RBA works so perfect I bought an original Starre to use up the coils. Great tank but bottom fill blows.

Picked up a Cleito in the city last week. This tank is hard on the heels for worst tank made. For cloudz bro I can't deny she's a chuckin'. But no flavor. Except a burnt hit every so often. Then normal. Then burnt. Its a .4 coil rated for 40-60w but anything over 30 just tastes burnt. So cheap its not worth trying to sell without coils I think this one is on its way to the circular file.

This tank is hard on the heels for worst tank made.
I am just launching from Cool's comments here. This is not a comment about the Cleito (or any other tank in particular), but a question for the group. I have been reading this forum (various different threads within) for, oh... 9-10 months now, and have paid close attention to people's comments about what they consider good and bad and why. Some have caused me to buy something; others to steer away from something. John Doe claims tank ABC is the best he's ever used and Sally Smith says it is the worst piece of crap to ever touch her lips. Both seem to have good reasons. Further comments suggest they both have a similar vaping style, but one loves it and the other hates it. Now I can see that if one was a tootle puffer and one was a cloud chucker that they would have totally different opinions of the same tank (or mod or coils or... pick something). Do they use similar airflow? Do they use the same diameter drip tips? Can it merely be the juice one uses is not appropriate to high watts or, conversely, should be vaped at even higher watts than what s/he is using?

I am starting to wonder whether I should pay any attention to any reviews because that person's opinions clearly will not be someone else's opinions. Who do we listen to? Do we all have to go out and buy XYZ tanks and form our own opinions, then either PIF it to someone else or garbage it if it is not what we like? Is this why so many vapers have dozens of mods and hundreds of tanks in their collection - because no one's review can really be trusted to speak for everyone? I am continually confused...

What're you folks' opinions?

EDIT: I re-read that and it is going to come across as a Ford versus Chevy thing, isn't it? They are both cars; they both work; you like X and he likes Y and both will argue that forever. All I want to know is if it does the job for which I bought it. "Pretty" is very low on my list. Function, quality, ease-of-use, and price mean much more.

I have several mods and ***'d of tanks. I'd be embarrassed to say how many.

You are right that each person is gonna have a different experience with taste. Some things are the tank itself. The Triton has pretty good flavor but the top fill system is aweful. Some may make peace with it but nobody is ever gonna call it well thought out.

The Cletito works semi-ok around the house, I'm using it now. But outside this time of year and at work everyday its cold and it just falls apart. Some tanks perform badly in the cold but this is the worst.

Other tanks like the Starre Pro have some good features but its a complicated piece of equipment. Bad idea over all.

Mopar or no car :p

In all seriousness, I normally read reviews and watch my main YouTubers - Grimm, PBusardo, even the shill RipTrippers for their opinions. Whatever came out this week and is awesome will be old news 2 weeks from now, so I generally hold off a bit, plus it gives people time to put some hours on the devices and see if it's over hyped or the real deal. Something like crappy o-rings is stuff I like to know about, the people who just bought it say "meh the o-rings kinda suck but it isn't a big deal" but I'm thinking well heck for $40 some bucks I better get good o-rings. Idk it just depends on if you want to roll the dice based on everyone else saying it was worth it (I think sometimes people want to justify their purchase and excuse little things because it's their brand new toy).

Then normal. Then burnt. Its a .4 coil rated for 40-60w but anything over 30 just tastes burnt. So cheap its not worth trying to sell without coils I think this one is on its way to the circular file.

Triton is what it is, if you know how to use it correctly, use a needle syringe to fill, no problem at all, with the right coil then it's a great vape, I can say it doesn't leak like it's portrayed, very smooth vape, it's also a very good mouth to lung tank too. Yeah it's a bugger to clean, yeah it's too tall for its capacity, worst tank ever, no, there are way worse tanks, would I buy one, probably not.
Starre tank is still great, I always preferred it over the Crown but bottom fill does suck, top fill has made me lazy, the only bottom fill tank I use is the Subtank Plus because it doesn't need filling as much.
The Cleito works better with a slightly thinner juice and the flavor is there with half the afc closed but the coils don't hold the flavor for long enough before you have to change them out, the cotton is packed to far up the coil too. The price is what I like about it, I never buy a tank or rda, rta thinking of its selling value as they are all so cheap it's not worth selling any of them anyway. They just go on a 510 stand and join the rest of them in my glass graveyard ha. Some tanks you can pick up and vape and just work, some take a little understanding and patiences and time to figure out, that doesn't make them bad tanks, they all have flaws but that's why I love this hobby, I'm always after that perfect tank, that perfect vape, more flavor, it's what keeps the industry going and why the market is flooded, a lot of us are responsible for that. Maybe one day I will find that setup I keep searching for, maybe some people already have or maybe deep down I don't want to find it. Personally though you can't beat a good RTA, if the flavor isn't there or its not wicking properly then 99% of the time it's your build, maybe an RTA is the perfect tank for me because you have way more control but Im enjoying the vaping bug to much to care. Everyone vapes different, some don't buy gear for months and months which I take my hat off to them. All this, good tank, bad tank is rather silly and at the end of the day I prefer to say good vape, bad cigarette and leave it at that. But the short answer is yes, it's a Triton ;)

I agree with you Fuzzy. I watch a lot of reviews. I do so not because of anyone's opinion but more so to see if what it is that their reviewing fits my needs, and how something works. There's been many things that I've purchased that are not the same experience that I've seen. With that said I think the best advice I've seen so far is a signature of someone in one of the other threads that I follow.

It is:
"The biggest and most common mistake is buying product after product searching for that perfect vape
instead of learning how to get that perfect vape from the products you already have."

I think this sums it up pretty well!

Well said, I guess I make mistakes every week then but you can flip that around and say, as long as it's not hurting anyone and it's something you enjoy, then that "mistake" is actually my enjoyment. ;)

even the shill RipTrippers

1 and half years ago that guy was an awesome reviewer before this gimmicks and sell out.

Right it's bedtime for me, I think that's the longest I've talked about vaping since I came into the woom lol. Vaping discussion is another hobby of mine ha
Emma wanted to add that the Triton helped her lose all that weight so it will always hold a special place with her, so for all the people that disliked it, it did do some good :)

Night ya'll

Ford vs Chevy.....well since i am a Mopar man myself :D

You pretty much nailed it on the head. Its all about preference and while some reviews are good, in the end it is up to you what you like. Just because my Mopar will blow the doors off a chevy doesnt mean you have to park your Ford :lol:

Some of us suffer from a serious case of shinnyittis and we get the latest and greatest and rave about it, until the next new thing comes along and what was fabulous is now ehh, ya know. And then a few months down the line it is all of a sudden kinda crappy or we hated it while some of the new toys are pathetic right out of the box. We are a fickle'd group for sure. :w00t:

Take the way I smoked. I am sure many stories are like mine. I started smoking by swiping True menthols from my dad, then I was smoking Belair's menthol and Newports. Got tired of menthol and started smoking Camels then off to Marlboro for 20 years, then Marb light and Pall Mall blue packs. After 40 years of smoking I wouldnt smoke a menthol if my life depended on it because I considered them nasty yet that is what I started smoking and smoked the first 3 or 4 years that I smoked and liked them back then. Our preferences are constantly changing and the reviews are just that, how one person viewed the device. Six months down the road a glowing review might be not so glowing. :2c:

Yes Rip is a shill and he did sell out but I gotta say that his are still some of the more informative vid's out there. I gotta fast forward on his always because his openings irritate me but when he actually takes something apart or reviews something, its usually easy to understand and informative. Seldom can I sit thru a PBusardo review. He puts me to sleep.

Thanks, gang, for sharing your opinions.
they are all so cheap it's not worth selling any of them anyway.
Given some of the name brands I have read that you talk about having, I would say you have enough money to not worry about the cost of your toys, but that is not true for many of us. If I spend $5 on a tank and it is a POS, I slap myself and say "Don't be so gullible next time." If I have to spend $40 for a tank, it better damn well have a halo, golden wings, and produce miracles because I don't have that kind of money to put at risk. So here's another thing to add to the review formula: For those users who claim it is "well worth the money." I need to know if they have money to throw away or are a poor financially challenged sucker like me.
"The biggest and most common mistake is buying product after product searching for that perfect vape instead of learning how to get that perfect vape from the products you already have."
I remember reading that sig and agreeing with it many months ago. Maybe that is why I am still very happy with my old KangerTech Protank-II tanks and Aspire Nautilus - they are good enough to keep me happy (and seriously, I have no problem with bottom fill). But, like many of you, if someone tells me "this is the best vape I have ever had," my ears perk up and I start calculating how long I will have to save up in order to get one. Then, it would indeed be a major bummer if I finally bought it and it turned out to be a piece of crap. That's why I read/watch so many reviews... no two people seem to tell exactly the same story.

Forgot this one... Lannie is a MoPar baby too. Me? The guy who does the driving? I really don't much give a rip about the brand. In the past, I have had Mercury, Ford, Rambler, Oldsmobile, Simca, Morris Minor, AMC, Chevrolet, Dodge, GMC, Trans Am, Porsche, Land Cruiser, Jeep, Subaru.... the list is nearly endless (yes, I'm really oldt now). Today? We don't even have a car. We have a Ford FX4 pickup. Why? I needed something with a big enough engine to pull a stock trailer, that would carry lots of grain, that could drive across very muddy fields... It starts when I turn the key, hasn't fallen apart yet, and has a sun roof to let all that fog out. :)

I liked Rip and still watch his reviews, he does do an informative breakdown. The electrolyte drink thing was too much though. Mainly I just watch GrimmGreen, if I still want more info then it's off to check Phil and maybe Rip.

Probably not. FWIW I have little interest in any reviewers subjective opinions. Show me the deck, the bits and pieces and I can decide if it is worth trying.

I know what I like and I have broad stroke benchmarks that must be met.
Subtank, not interested.
Dual coils, not interested.
Press fit cap, not interested.
And so on..

:D Mopar, not interested.

Hello
@haleysdadda and @LJFinFLA , hope you are both well today :)

Hopefully my griffin tank will be here today, probably won't do a long review as it seems to cause debates haha
Slap some Alien claptons in the Griff & Join me in one of the vaping paradises! The only prob with the Griff is it doesn't hold enough juice that's why they came out with the 25mm version! gonna be late for work & it's y'all's fault!LOL!:headbang:
