Got my Tornado-T kit, empty tanks and extra atty yesterday afternoon in the mail. I am loving it so far, no leaking problems or anything like that. I agree that it does go through a good amount of juice. When I first got it and put one on a batt I tried one of the pre-filled tanks that comes with the kit. It did take a little while to get the new atty taste out and alternating between using the tank and another batt with a mega atty/carto the liquid in the prefilled tank was used up in around 4 hours.

Vapor production and flavor from the Tornado-T seems to be pretty good and so far I am satisfied with its production and look forward to continue using it. The tanks may not last as long as a mega atty/mega cart combination, but I do love the easy load and go of the tanks and the smaller size of the mouthpiece as compared to the mega cart mouthpiece size. Though I do have one suggestion/request if it is possible and I was thinking of this even before I received the Tornado-T. I was wondering if it would be possible to get the company that makes the tanks, to offer a bunch of just the tank caps for sale? It would make re-using the tanks a bit better if we could put fresh, un-pierced caps on them, even though I have not had any leaking troubles at all.

I did have a little bit of a scare when I got my package. I had ordered a spare tank atty and I could not find it anywhere in my package, so I called TW and asked about it. Well, when I called it seemed their computers were down and the nice lady on the other end of the line couldn't look up my order (it was around 4pm EST when I called) She asked for my name and number and said she would call me back shortly. 20-30 min later, when I started to think I wouldn't get a call back yesterday, since it was close to closing time I think, she called and said the computers were back up and looked over my order. She said she'd go show the packing manager the order. I wasn't expecting it, but a few minutes later, the packing manager called me and asked me about it.

He then told me that they had run out of bubble sleeves to pack the atties in, so they may have put it inside one of boxes of empty tanks, since I had ordered 25, it could have been in one of them. I would not have thought to look inside those boxes for it and after opening three and not finding one, I opened a fourth and there it was, sitting on top of the empty tanks. It was all handled professionally and I was impressed with the service and patience they had with me.

Haha, yeah my attys were in the cart box also, scared me for a few minutes, but I found them! Good idea with replacement caps, but remember, they don't want the carts to last forever. They want to sell us new ones!

Yeah, that is true, doubt I'd use them forever anyway, but still would be nice to have a piece of mind that I could just stick them in my pocket and not worry about them leaking. (though guess that's what the bottom caps are for), but you would still lose a little bit of juice that way too, I would think.

Ok, speaking of my workday vaping routine and how it's changed quickly because of the tank: I have a 1 hour drive to work and work 3-13 hour shifts (then 4 days off). My drive time to work at 5AM is a chain vape with a travel mug of coffee! This meant, I used to need to prep three or four 510 carts the night before, just to get me to work! I have also used mega carts, cartos, you name it, they all have downsides. Then with 13 hour days, on top of the necessary battery/power considerations (3 -650mh batts and USB PT to be safe), I carry a Harbor Freight 16 bin small parts case maybe 8" x 10" with loads of carts, attys, spare blue foam, liquids, drip tips, tweezers, dental pick etc....lol. Sounds excessive I know, but one malfunction of anything means I am going 13 hours WITHOUT. Ok, fast forward to today: I am working my normal 13 hour day today and left the house with NO parts bin whatsoever. I put a full tank on my Tornado before bed and vaped it all the way to work and am now 3 hours into my day and ready to refill. Also, I only brought the standard 3" by 6" zip-up vinyl Tornado carry case that TW and every eGo vendor sells. I have my 3 batts, spare tank atty, 2 spare tank carts, and 6ml of fluid! Also, I have my pass-through in my desk and THATS IT! What a change! That is why the Tank will be a game-changer for many people.

Wow, seems like people are going through tanks pretty fast! I have a bunch of smaller sampler bottles (3ml) I carry around to drip with, and it probably takes me 5 days to go through one of them (these are the really small ones). I'm hoping a tank lasts a day or so. :)

I also use them because it's easy to make my "blend"... coffee, fireball and vanilla. :)

Received my cartridges and atomizers today.

Holy crap are the atomizers loaded with primer... YUCK. Finally managed to get rid of that nasty taste and so far I'm impressed.

The atomizers get warmer than what I'm used to (I gave up on atomizers/cartridges and have been using eGo batteries with 510 adapters & 808 cartomizers).

One thing I'm noticing right away is that my thicker juices might be a problem. I'm getting some juice bubbling up through the whistletip.

The vape is a bit warmer than my 808 cartomizers but there is definitely more flavor. Good throat hit, vapor production. If it's consistent then I'm more than willing to pay extra for the convenience the tank system offers.

Thumbs up so far.
