Why do alot of people not like tanks?

[hificat101]

Speaking for myself, I purchased a Chibi a couple months back. Tons of people love them, my experience was different. First I went out and bought syringes from Tractor supply to fill it. Apparently I purchased needles that were too fine, because it was a bear to draw juice in, and squirt it out. It took me like a half hour to get the 3ml tank half full. I had followed instructions, and filled the carto like normal before inserting into tank. Once it was together, I let it sit and soak for half hour.

The first three draws gave me a warm mouthful of juice. I took the tank off, and later that day scavenged what I could out of it, and tossed it out.

Now I have ordered an M1A1 from notcigs to go with my new Buzz Pro. Hopefully I will make out better.

A couple of weeks back as well I purchased a chibi and it would leak and spit juice out like crazy. Did everything I read including sticking another needle in to let the air out. Nothing worked.

I just received my mini sub and am loving it. Filled it as per the video instruction and it's been vaping brilliantly on my provari for the past couple of hours. I then decided to give the chibi another go around as I cleaned it out. I punched my own hole with the saddle valve I picked up, loaded the juice, although this time, I filled it before closing the top grommet. It's been vaping brilliantly as well for the past couple of hours.

From my experience, I think the type of carto, size and number of holes and pg/vg makeup of the juice makes all the difference. When I first tested the chibi, I had a 70pg 30vg juice and I had all those problems. This time around, I but in gorilla juice in the chibi and rafa in the mini and none have problems. These are really thick 100 vg juices.

Just my two cents but hopefully when you get yours, you have enough patience to experiment. When they do work, you can never go back to just cartos.

Thank you Flint. That is incredibly useful info. I guess I shouldnt have tossed my Chibi.

I was one mishap away from chucking and swearing them off too. If you can, try the mini sub, it's a lot simpler to use.

I may try that in the future, but for now, I just got a notcigs M1A1 tank with my new Buzz Pro. I don't think the pressure will be a problem because of being able to side fill it with a syringe through the screw hole on it. It's pretty slick. If it works too well, I may ned to buy another.

I had no choice but to use a tank because of my sport (Golf).
It was an obvious choice as having to drip, which I prefer, would be
too much of a hassle on the course.
I now enjoy tanks even at the office and at home.
If you find the right combination, tank and cart, it's very
close to dripping.
But, as someone pointed out earlier, dual coils eat batteries.
I tend to run .5 to 1 volt higher on a tank to get the TH from
heat as I only use 6mg of nic. Tanks often dilute the TH from
nic content, in my experience.

Isn't that what they make caddies for ;>)

I use ce2 tanks - cartzilla, vision stone, soon the actv4 and also the chibi tanks cousin from same site called acorn tank.
Clean taste .

I totally agree... and this goes to all the other types of PV parts.

Yes, but I want my caddie to concentrate on the yardages.
That's why I have an umbrella girl that holds the provari with the tank AND the
GGTS with an ody.

Nice one, I was thinking about that one too. Let me know how it works out for you. Should be the same concept, effect as the mini sub.

I hope no Tank users will be offended if I say I hate hate hate tanks and refuse to ever buy one-mainly because they so resemble a babys bottle half full of orange juice or whatever...., you know- like your toddlers bottle that gets dragged around the floor. to me they look really druggy for some reason as well.
The closest I'll ever go to a tank is just an EgotT type B which I use at home, and seeing as how I havn't found a carto that I like the taste of I know im sacrificing a lot of convenience and have to refill a lot- but thats where I am at the moment.
Cheers,

I wish I could disagree with you. But I was a police officer for 21 years and I will admit, if I saw me hitting this thing, I would pull me over lol. You really didn't need to give me the baby bottle visual, did you? lol

I'm sorry robcope, just ignore me ......

No biggie, I thought it was funny

 

[donnah]

I. Don't mind how they look, I love the convenience! There's nothing better when they work. And there's nothing worse when they don't. I think that many just don't understand the basic principles of how they work and what to do to fix the problem (flooding, leaking, burnt taste) so they give up

i like tanks just got mine in today from v4l with xl bat. no leaks yet works great for around the house vaping and drinking. works good for me i'm gonna get a few more. now i haven't knocked it on the ground or any other rigorous tests. i wouldn't keep it in my pocket but for vaping pleasure it works. i get a great hit every time. so i got my smalls for work and my tank for relaxin might take it fishin.

I said i would post my opinion now i have one as it came today.

So far its been working perfectly, couldnt fault it at all. I surpose every one for each ecig is diffeent but the one for this DSE901 is great, no leaks. The good thing i like about using a tank as opposed to using cartridges etc; is that when i used to use carts and wasnt getting that much vapour or whatever i used to be in a puzzle to what the problem was. Was it the cartridges not being filled up enough, did i need to refill them? was the battery bust? did the atty need changing? etc; where as with this tank system you know that if your not getting enough vapour its either just the battery or in the most likely case the atty.

I like them so far

 

[Phreaker]

Patrick21, glad you are liking your purchase! As others have pointed out, most people responding to your original post are talking about tanks (tubes) that slip over a cartomizer. You are talking about a tank/atomizer combo, the DSE901-T. They are two very different things.

There was just a great co-op for dctank on the pif-coop forum. She quickly got orders for 250 tanks and will be taking orders for another 250 tanks when they all arrive. She's not taking any pm's right now till the order gets here. she had to order 500 minimum and the mods would only let her do a co op for 250 at a time.. so she will have 250 left to sell.. you get 5 tanks from smoktech for a total of $18.07 including any fees, taxes and shipping. I got in on the first co op for 5 tanks.
