the J tank? After this past couple years of all the new ideas and rehashing of the love/hate string-a-ling clearos etc, when I have had enough and my vendor is out of my favorite cartomizer, I can pick up the J tank and it works over and over again, and, it's cheap to operate. The only reason I don't use it all of the time is because tanks look a bit 'too' fiendish in public. But when everyone has gone home and I am left at the shop, I break that bad boy out and finish out the rest of my day, and the ride home and most likely, the rest of the evening here at home.

I really don't see how they will be able to improve over this best of both worlds system any time soon.

Here's what I have tried to date:

Filler cartomizers. Love them. They have truly been the most consistent. Even with considering the occasional dud and having to keep them somewhat wet, etc. The J tank idea alleviates much of the latter.

String cartos. I have tried them all, including the rebuildables. I have a go-round with the vision deux occasionally when it's tuned right just for the fog they make but they are finicky.

Drip atty's. I like the flavor etc but I don't pay attention to them enough to the point where I subject myself to burnt hits or flooding them.

The stardust types. They worked good when new. After a day, they become like any other stringy thing.

Bottom feeders. It was a good run with those but I never could trust them for the fact that they always presented their issues at the least opportune times. There is a whole bottom feeder mod purposely resting at the bottom of Tampa Bay somewhere. I did keep the battery.

The CE3/pheonix. Another gadget that although I like the common sense approach with it being a bottom feed device, it still displays some of the other issues attributed to that string-a-ling thing again. Decent backup for when out of my favorites but not ultimately consistent enough for me. In other words, there's that burnt, metallic taste I have come to admire as part of vaping such devices. Yum.

So here I sit, with 15 self, pre punched dual coil cartomizers, vaping happily away with old reliable, and after 3 years now, this has been the item to beat.

TJ, you are my people. You have basically written my story (and much better than I ever could!), as I sit here happily vaping away on my 510 Boge LRs, with a dish full of neglected assorted other gadgets right beside me. They may end up being re-purposed as cat toys. :D
