What is the Best tank out there that doesn't leak after a few days?

[inksane]

as the title states I am looking for the best tank out there that wont leak everywhere within a few days, I don't care if it is rebuildable or not and 510 or ego connector. I have tried tons of different ones and they all seem to leak within an few days.

Have you tried one from IBTanked.com? It is a carto tank so shouldn't leak and his are less expensive than some.

 

[inksane]

i have not, I have only tried different ones from madvapes. I will go check his out

IBtanked if money is a concern (when is it not? ).. if not - Phiniac.com - stunnigly beautiful tanks, built like a ..tank...and hold a carto like no other...

check this review:

I have never tried the tanks where you need to punch the carto. what carto is needed for this style?

 

[Baditude]

No tanks should leak. The ones that do have poorly fitting or damaged o-rings, warped plastic tubes, or leaking from the cartomizer...usually because of flooding issues from user error.

Damaged o-rings can be easily protected from user error by using a tank accessory tool.

 

[Judge Dredd]

Baditude is right. If your tanks are linking, you can get tighter o-rings, or simply replace them if they're old. That'll be much cheaper than a new tank.

notcigs M1A1 is what I've used since August 2011. In all that time, I've only replaced one o ring.

With a carto tank, you want to make sure the inner orings (that touch the carto) are wet when you insert the carto, and use a twisting motion, like screwing in a light bulb, when the carto mouth is passing an oring; this compresses the ring instead of shearing it.

For a carto tank, you want plain (stainless steel) finish. A lot of places sell pre-punched cartos, else you can punch your own, pretty trivial to do. I use the carto punch that valleyviewvapes sells, it's consistent, I've done over 100 two-hole cartos with one screw.

For a good carto, I recommend the ones IkenVape carries, though people's tastes vary. I really love his 801 fusions, however the 510 platinums are also excellent. (I haven't tried the 510 fusions.)

You don't need to punch your own carto's to use in a tank, in fact I recommend not doing so. Most vendors sell what are called "pre-punched" cartomizers ready to fill and place into a tank. These are carto's with laser-drilled holes. I recommend using these instead.

Punching your own holes with a carto tank tool or with other means like a saddle valve invariably warp the shape of the carto from round to oval, which when passed through the inner o-rings of the tank's end caps can stress and damage them...resulting in the above leaking of the original poster.

If you do decide to punch your own, use only the silver stainless steel variety, not the black ones.

I have a list of vendors selling the pre-punched carto's in my blog here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/blogs/baditude/3295-2-sample-list-vendors-selling-pre-punched-single-coil-cartomizers-cartotanks.html

I've seen very mixed reviews on that tank. You can probably easily find a thread on it here if you do a little bit of searching.

The main appeal of that tank is its so-called ability to not accidentally fall off of your battery device. I've never seen the need for that. I learned from the beginning not to pick my vaping device up from the tank, but by the device itself. I've never had an issue of a tank sliding off of my battery device by praticing this common sense.

I like that one because of its small size, I am not a huge fan of the huge tanks.

Then check out the 3.5ml capacity tanks from My Vapor Store. 510 Pro DCTank Combo



Unlike the tank you linked to, this tank is made of polypropylene, and is safe to use with all flavors such as cinnamon and citrus flavors that can crack or melt polycarbonate plastic

 

[inksane]

Well I ended up ordering both the artemis and the one from above from myvaporstore.com hopefully 1 of them works out for me!!

Another nod for phiniac. Just be sure to use a tank tool and no worries.

Don't you just love people who don't bother reading the entire thread, or pay no attention to the preferences of the questioner. The OP just said they prefered a smaller tank, and then someone comes along and recommends a Phiniac, which is a large tank.

Sorry for the rant. I guess I'm tired from being up all night.

Also don't forget that if your tank is leaking or flooding your carto a good fix is to change the orings. Did this last night on one of mine that flooded a new carto, and it's work extremely well now
10 REPLACEMENT "INNER" O-RINGS FOR OUR 3.5 & 6.5mL DC TANKS
3.5 mL OUTER TANK O-RINGS

Just be sure to buy the right sized outer orings. Good luck with your tanks. I prefer these over clearomizers.

Personal experience, every carto tank I've ever used has leaked. I'm perfectly willing to accept that it may be due to cheap tanks or ineptitude on my part but I'm not going to buy the best and most expensive right out of the gate. I have two Vivi Nova tanks and they've never leaked not even a little and they give me a great vaping experience.

 

[DaveP]

Vision Vivi Nova has been the most leak free tank I've used. The tank is threaded onto the end caps and the atomizer head is contained inside the tank. You can slide it into a jeans pocket, sit down or drive, and not worry about leaks. I find the vapor and flavor to be about equal to the average carto.

I like the 2ml mini tanks because of the slim size that matches the diameter of most 18650 battery tubes. Twice a day refilling will get me through until night and it's easy to fill from a small sample bottle. Just screw off the top, drip the juice in, and screw the top back on.

Must have missed it - Here is his original request

Where is he talking about tank size? - I thought he was looking for "leak free" tank (assuming it is not a carto issue) which indicated to me that either the design or quality would come into play and price was not mentioned..if tank size is an issue maybe he should amend the original question and he wouldn't get answers like Phiniac .. which is absolutely a solid and correct recommendation regarding the original question as is a Vivi Nova which I have found very leak free..

Dont ya just love inappropriate and overreaching responses some time .. Just having a little go at you Bad but I thought this was out of character for you..
