If using 100% VG in a carto you may want to thin it down with PGA or distilled water. Realize also high VG will gunk up/ destroy cartos fairly quick.

Hi
can someone tell me what's the best tank system to get for VG juices
Also would all the cartomisers work the same for VG or would I need something different as the juice
is thicker than the PG juices

I would echo what Vapoor eyes er said. As for tank systems, I guess my thought is, if you are a new to all this and not sure which one to get, I would recommend the Vistion Vivi Nove 2.5 (3.5ml), the Vision Vivi Nova Mini (2.5ml) and the Vision Stardust Rebuildable Clearomizer (1.8ml) All three are easy to load and prime, all three are easily rebuildable (which will save money over time and allow you to choose the resistance of the coils you use) and in my experience, none of the three leak or spill. Note: the Clearomizer is designed to fit on eGo connections which are sort of modified 510s. You'll need a 510 to eGo extension in order to use it on some other devices.

I would echo dayworks suggestion. Clearos are the route to take. Stardust or Vivi Nova. Just make sure they're the newest long wick rebuildable- when the wick/ element is done ( head) just unscrew old head and screw in new head- takes about 10 secs. Depending on the juice the heads should last anywhere from 2- 4 weeks and cost about $2.50? each.
Also lately there have been QC issues with Boge and Smok Tech cartos- apparently they are almost ready to release the better ones but understand many vendors will still be selling the problem cartos for awhile until they exhaust their stock.

I have a provari

Thank you dayworks
You are most welcome, Osiris and congrats on your Provari! BTW, with that one, I think I would probably go with the two Vivi tanks. They'll screw right on to your nice rig and are quite easy and economical to work with. The standard Vivi Nova 2.5 (3.5ml) tank should be about the same diameter as your Provari and as such, will look nice connected to it.

It is also probably worth mentioning that, just because a tank or carto holds 2, 3, or 4ml of eJuice doesn't mean you have to put that much in them. They are most commonly used for "all day vapes", but I regularly squirt no more than maybe .5 or 1 ml in mine for juices I just want to vape for a little while. They are easy to clean, so it's easy to go from one juice to another, or you may just top one off with another when the first gets low.

Welcome and I hope you enjoy your new Vivi Nova mini. In case you hadn't heard, be careful with atomic fireball type cinnamon juices and some citrus juices as they can damage the plastic on the tank, even some of the new polypropylene tanks have occasional issues with some juices. Would hate to see that happen to you.

Supposedly the new Vivi's and Stardust tanks are more crack resistant. I no longer vape citrus based juices. Here's a discussion and list

Thank you okieNurse :)
I like sweet and fruity flavours at the moment :)
Currently I'm vaping butterscotch, blueberry pancake & waffles.... They're lovely flavours
Occasionally I have the coffee and RYUN flavour.
Would these be ok with the Vivi nova?

I use the vivis and LOVE them but would NO WAY recommend them to a VG vaper. They mute flavor as it is, a massive VG flavor would probably taste like nothing. I know VG people use them but it depends of your juice flavor and how much you thin it out... I see a huge difference in flavor when I was at 30% VG as opposed to now at 10% VG. 100%?--your juice better be strong to support that in the Vivi.

FYI delicate stuff like blueberry and fruits are the worst on the Vivi. Stuff like chocolate/cinnamon danish/cake batter etc are better. And i'm using a cotton wick/remade coil.

You will be sad vaping 100% VG blueberry on the Vivi... I'm ready to throw my Capella's blueberry in the trash as it is with a cotton wick and 90% PG. GL.

Thick goopy VG would be best served with some sort of a bottom coil tank like the Phoenix (not the disposables) or other tank, the Vivi will make you cry... The VG will need a grappling hook to climb up those wicks...

Good info dayworks. For the stardust rebuildable long wicks would you recommend SR or low res. I have ego c batteries and am using vg juice. Thanks!
