I just can't get the smoketech attys to dry.

If you punch them yourself you might have the hole or slot too big, I use pre-drille/flange dual coil and actually tap the hole a tiny bit bigger or else they don't wick enough. Dual coils 2.5ohms on fruity soft tasting liquids for an extra punch, and boge 3ohms cartos for darker tones is what I've come to prefer myself.

I tried drilling the hole of my dual coils to a 16th of an in. Filled and vaped it lost all the liquid and flooded my atty, I can't seem to win

If you've got some to spare, try punching them with a small screw see if you get different results. Put a rubber condom at the length you want your hole at and don't wack too hard, just enough to hear a small pop and make a toothpick sized hole. Your drill bit may have punctured the center tubing causing your juice to leak straight through. Trial and error, pre-punched are the same price I think so you might want to trow one in your next order before giving up on them.

I like the flanged Smoktechs as well. I've heard the dual coils play havoc with the LT though. FLuxos for the win!

LRs atties/carts do, but the whole point of low resistance is to simulate high voltage vaping on 3.7v device to begin with. I have 2.5ohm ones and they are fine, wish they had 3ohms. Tried fluxos way back and didn't like them, one leaked the other didn't wick lol. What's new that you would recommend DrOckW? Might add one to my next order if they play nice on the LT.

For a Tank, check out the new GotVapes Vision Stone tank. Made with a CE2 inside, the top and bottom caps screw on/off, has GotVapes no leak no spill technology for CE2's that they invented as an improvement over the standard CE2's (they also use this on Vision Extremes) The tank only comes in 2.0-2.2 ohms right now, but if they work well with your desired voltage they won't run your battery down fast. They are designed to be very easy to clean without the mess of regular tanks. Check out the video.



Haven't tried one yet but these are the nicest looking tanks I've seen.

I've looked and looked and haven't been able to find stainless steel smoktech in 3.0. I just don't like the boge. I've really liked using the smoktech 1.7 on the LT. I know they say it's not recommended to use LR stuff on the LT but I can use it up to 4.2v without going over the 2.5amp cutoff. 4.2 is as high as I want to go anyway so I'm happy with that.

Tank cartos are going to flood at some point. I've used this same one for 2 weeks now with no problem and all of a sudden it's wanting to get gurgley. It doesn't actually dump it's juice but it's enough to spit juice back at me and drip down the side of the LT. I did spot a small air bubble coming up from the bottom grommet (I use the chibi type tanks) so I figure I have a tiny air leak. Every once in a while when it starts to gurgle I stick a needle in a suck some air out and it's fine for a while. I guess I need to take the tank apart, rinse it and dry it and reassemble it. Or maybe replace the grommet (bought replacements on amazon)

something I've found to be helpful is to put the tank in a small plastic med cup until I'm sure the air pressure is balanced and it's not going to dump it's juice. That way I'm not losing any juice. I rarely have flooding issues but it does happen from time to time.

I'm getting a real nice vape on the LT using the 3.0 single coils I picked up from volcano. Gonna assume their smok techs because their identical physically to the flanged 1.5 that came with the tank I picked up from my local shop.

Yes those are the ones I am a digging.

When I was at my local shop today I went ahead and picked me up some of those boge carts as I've never tried them and ya read so much about them around here. Also, I picked me up some LR Kanger's which I really, really enjoy. I tried one today on the LT and got it up to 4.6 which was overkill. Not sure I'm gonna stick exclusively with tanks but had to try it out....I like switching my flavors out quite often I've found.
