Wanna Try a New Cardo Tank...Recomendations?

[KerryK]

You know I've stayed away from cardo tanks for sometime but I really want to give them a go again. I feel like I'm missing out but my experience with them was just ok, maybe I just never got the right one.

So what's the best, what's good, what's simple and what looks good on anything?

I have a Smoke pyrex DCT and like it. It's a little finicky. Have to make sure I don't get to much liquid in the cargo or it gurgles.

I recommend either of two tanks below for a first tank. Both are a high quality tank yet inexpensive should you find out that using a cartotank is not for you.

My Vapor Store has a polypropylene-tubed tank kit for about $23. You get the tank, metal endcaps, a drip tip, and your choice of five single/dual coil cartomizers, resistance, and number of laser-drilled holes. Available in a 3.5ml (slimmer) and 6 ml (wider) capacity size for the same price. The polypropylene tube is safe to use with cinnamon and citrus flavors which can crack or melt polycarbonate-tubed tanks, and available in a frosted clear or a few colors.

IBTanked offers several sizes and other options for a pyrex tank and either stainless steel or anodized aluminum (22mm only) end caps. Available to purchase separately (tank and caps) or as a tank kit (tank, caps, cartomizer, combination drip tip and tank tool) for between $24 and $30 depending upon the size of the tank you choose. You can also "bling" out your tank with custom painted tank tubes or colored anodized aluminum caps for a few more bucks. I presently have 12 of these tanks (obviously a favorite of mine).

I've written several articles in my blog E-Cigarette Forum - Baditude - Blogs which cover a cartotank tutorial, juices that can destroy a plastic tank, a review of the IBTanked, and a list of online vendors that sell pre-punched cartomizers.

This Is Stunningly Beautiful, And Fairly Priced As Well!

+1 on the IBtanks OCD tanks. Just ordered my third and 4th. Incredible quality and perfect customer service. I can only use glass because most of the juices I really like would eat poly tanks, and the OCDs are perfect for me. No leaks, durable, and the price is right.

Loving my Boge F-16 LR right now.
Cheap and works great on my CCTS with the new Sigelei-K kicking power at 8 watts.

Another +1 on IBTanked. I recently started using one and was impressed enough to order three more. Also, if you get a tank from IBTanked you can fiddle with your thingy.

Do you fiddle your thingy?

*carTo.

Sorry, I had to.


CARTO, not cardo

I have a few. I have some Cartomators from Vaperfexion, they're around 20 bucks and I haven't had a single complaint. I've had one of them for over 7 months with out a problem. I recently bought a Phiniac tank from Phiniac.com, they're a little pricy but their awesome. The o-rings are pretty tight on them so make sure you have a filling tool, I forgot I had one and didn't use it and tore up my o-rings when I re-filled it.

An important thing with the cartos is that if you have a high PG juice you may only have to punch the carto once, Where as with high VG or 100 VG I find myself punching the carto twice, maybe 3 times. Too many holes with high pg will flood, to few holes with high VG wont feed properly. Good luck and have fun.

I am another big fan of IBTanked carto tanks. If you buy the complete tank kit you get a carto tool that looks like a long drip tip. This does the same job as a Slap Yo' Mamma tool. Here is the 19mm XL tank with a Smoktech single coil 2.0 ohm XL carto punched four times along the bottom with a Siam Mods V2 carto punch. I use a very high percentage VG juice and this this set-up will not flood or burn. Three holes will burn with my DIY juice. I get a good 18ml of vaping done with each carto before changing out.

A good punching tool means a lot when it comes to success with a carto tank. The Siam Mods V2 carto punch (from Phiniac) looks like a Smoktech carto punch but the resemblance ends there. The V2 has a stainless steel body with a 9mm bore almost twice as long. Produces good sized holes with minimal distortion. How-to-use video is here:

I'm another one for the Smok Tech Pyrex DCT. I just use single coil cartos though.

I liked my Cartomators (from vaperfexion) when I was using cartos. Since then, I've switched back to dripping and gotten a Reo, so they're not getting much use and probably won't until I dig out my terminator or get a diver/killer.

Still, they're good tanks. And the Delrin version isn't that much more than the cheap chinese crap tanks.

Those are the Derlin end caps? I been looking at their tanks lately! I just grabbed the Fluid Flask clone from vapor joes, 11 bucks you can't go wrong!

Just ordered my 4th IBTanked. I have had no issues with them ever.

 

[kamil99]

I adore my ibt tanks. Have a 19mm SS and a black 22mm. Nice stuff.

Sent from my mind while out and about.

 

[cerver7]

Phiniac all the way for me. IBTanked second.

 

[Denzilla]

I have a few Vaperfexion Pro tanks and I love them! You'll never have to buy another. These things are kinda pricey, but when they are built to last a life time it's worth it!

 

[PeteyZ]

For a cheap entry level tank I would recommend the Artemas tank. It's a simple locking cartomizer tank.

 

[KerryK]

Ok then, nice, Phins and IB's!

Really appreciate all the feedback!
