Even though its on my zmax atm this is my favorite redesigned tank called the Smok-N-nova which is a vivi nova that uses cartos now.

I am looking at the AGA T+, but worried about leaking...any comments?

I have an AGA T+ but replaced the plastic tank with glass. I have had zero leaking and the VAMO I use it on is always on its side when it is not in my hand. Also, I do not recall seeing people reporting leaking issues in the, Has anyone tried the AGA Tiamat PLUS w/Glass Tank thread. If you decide to get the AGA-T+ and need help setting it up just ask for help in that thread.

Agreed.

I'm also using my AGA-T+ on my Vamo, with the plastic tank, and haven't had any leak issues either.

I just use the cheapest DCT I can find, and I punch Boge cartos myself. I do the suck hard prime method and it works great. I don't have to fill, wait, fill, wait, thing. I very seldom get any juice in my mouth doing it, you can kinda feel when the carto is bubbling with juice and you stop.

I wish I could remember who first posted that video a year or two ago so I could thank them. I have thrown away a ton of brand new cartos I primed other ways, that burnt right away because they weren't ready. This way almost completely solves that issue.

Vamo in 2x18350 with Kiuas V2 carto tank.

Just ordered a brushed SS Ming drip tip for this combo.
Next week I'll order the AGA-T+ just because it looks so freaking good on a Vamo. I'll order a carbon fiber skin for my Vamo as well, this is my first APV and I really dislike this shiny & slippery finish. Gotta ask Tricia from Jwraps if they can do a wrap for the AGA-T+ as well. It would be quite a nice looking combo.

I really want to like the T3, but I don't dig the airy draw. I'm also not a big fan of the flavor. I can't judge for sure since I only picked up one, but compared to my 'Novas it's just not as good. I tried covering one of the holes, and it was a little better on the draw, but the flavor was still not there. I did/do like the phoenix (CE3) bottom coils, so it's not that (HATED filling with a syringe).

BTW - just got a metal tank for my 3.5 Nova, and for some reason it seems to be a lot better. It may just be me, but flavor and vapor both seem to be better....Probably just lack of sleep, though.

Update: The tank I ordered from Mom and Pop Vapors floods my cartos every time. I wasted more juice on that tank than I want to admit, even after reviewing the videos on how to fill it. My "Ugly Tank" is still going strong after many refills. Even when I used the same carto that I was using in my home made tank and put it in the Mom and Pop Vapors tank, it flooded. I put it back in my tank and it worked fine. Go Figure!

Update

After some research into a better looking tank, I found the Artemas tank at madvapes.com
http://http://www.madvapes.com/chrome-artemas-tube-clear.html

These $8.49 tanks are great for the price, match the Vamo perfectly, have not leaked for me and are easy to fill. The only problem is that they fit so tightly onto the top of the Vamo that you need to either drill a hole into the Vamo drip well, or slot the bottom of the lock ring to let in some air. Other than that they have been flawless for me. I use Smoktech 510 single coil cartos @ 3.0 Ohms and use my Dremel Tool to slot the bottom hole a little larger. Highly recommended for an inexpensive but beautiful and functional tank.

I also dont like orally priming the Smok Techs as I just fill the cart after I fill the tank. The video is great but the new and improved with the locking rings can be found labled as U-DCT's on VaporKings but are hella expensive. The 6.0 can be found at several vendors around 10.95. I prefer the locking rings because I am able to screw the tank down without it eternally spinning on top of the Provari.
Some of the vendors are selling the carts with a larger punch as some are still using the smaller. I have been ordering the blanks in bulk(hoosier) and punching my own, so that I can adjust the hole or holes based on the thickness of my juice.
I have read many comments about flooding issues but I have once flooded them after puffing because occaisionally I will just give the tank a primer puff(watching the bubbles rise for fun).
I also find that I can use the tanks in rotation for 10 days - 2 weeks and then boil them and reuse them for additional savings.

GL Everyone and enjoy!

What vendors carry the larger punched holes?

I also grabbed that tank on sale, working fine so far, looks good on the vamo like rabbit said... I like the clear drip tip on it too for some reason.

I have a dremel, what do you suggest for slotting as far as bits?

A cutting disk slots them easily. Check You Tube for video if necessary. Just don't cut too deep
