Thanks guys, thought it would be a lot more hassle to find a tank, but apparently there's quite some choice.
@darkhood, heavy lungs? is that a common symptom you can get of vaping just vg juices?

Yea it coats your lungs and can make em feel heavy, some ppl have difficulty breathing. It's very viscous and thick so you might wanna get some distilled water to thin it out.

I also like the Kanger for 100% VG. I bought 2 because of the bottom feeding feature (I hate the tilt-n-vape method with other clearos) so I opted for the Kanger, but it seemed terribly airy. So I taped up two of the holes on the bottom flange and it worked ok, but then I realized that the thicker liquid would be better and tried my 100% VG honeydew, and man, what a difference! Crazy vapor production too!

I don't get heavy lung from vg but also can't tolerate pg drys me
Out badly. One up on adding water to thin it 3-5%,up to 10. you can drip into tank and shake to figure out right percentage for your juice. Some say thin it to almost PG thickness.i have no problems doing this. All depend on your juice some VGs are thicker then others.

Richmond, Va...Right in Altria's back yard.
I highly recommend a carto tank.

ViVi Novas and Kangers arent tanks.They are oversized clearomizers. :)

These are tanks.

..............Hey man !.

My solution is to half fill a T3 bottom coil clearomiser, or any other bottom coil clearo. Half filling helps to stop the "backwash". I change the coil base before refilling to avoid "backwash" seeping back into the tank, which makes the fluid thick, murky and taste dull. I'll leave the used coil base in hot water for a few hours then rinse and leave to dry for a few hours more.

Ok, makes sense... What would you suggest though?
Im actually trying to figure it out for myself as well.I just ordered my first tank and Im trying to find out if I should get three hole punched cartos for all my juice or just for thicker ones.I dont want to get three hole instead of two hole and end up flooding my cartos seeing as I use around 50/50 blends I make myself.I would recommend going with single coil cartos though since they burn hotter and will probly work better on the VG.I ordered a Artemas slim to try out.I let you know how I like it. Hope this helps a little :)

clove flavor eliquid. it won't get out of my tank, the flavor.
I threw the vivi nova wick away but the flavor is still in the plastic tank, somehow
after various washings.

I read in another thread that you like vv liquids a lot too. Was the clove liquid from them? If so I'll be careful when i next place my order...:p

I'm new with all this, but those look like phiniac tanks are they? Love the look of them, even the plain once in pyrex, which must be pretty solid too... Perhaps those tanks you could even put in your dish washer to get a clove smell out of them....:D

Overall in the tank section, I do think carto tanks are the way to go for VG liquids, but pre-punched cartos with those dinky holes are not good enough. There needs to be significant holes for sufficient wicking, and then you just need to play around with it and understand how it functions when the liquid warms up and the viscosity decreases, so that you avoid flooding. I'm very happy with my DCTs and with slotted or pre-holed Boge cartos (they've got big holes--- that's essential).

But if you're gonna go with clearomizers, I'm thinking they have to be bottom coil, or perhaps those new iClear clearomizers that everyone are talking so fondly about. Vivi Novas will probably work, but you will have to be aware of the decreased wicking in VG juices in order to avoid the chance of dry hits when you start vaping a cold unit.
