I love tanks with cartos, BTW the one you ordered is a tank that came with a CE6 not a regular cartomizer. Anyhow, I have been using carto tanks for 6 months now and have only had one leak. It was a smoketec and it was slippery and cheaply made. I got a phiniac next and it is flawless. I have about 10 carto tanks: IBTanked, Valley vapes, Kir Fanis etc, NONE of these leak.

Like elmattias says, they are a container that hold juice, they do not affect your taste or performance ( only if they are not airtight, or loose) carto life depends on your juice, the ingredients in your juice ( certain tobaccos can clog them up ie NET tobaccos) and how many ml you put thru them) Also lower wattage/volts also affect the performance of a carto. I was having problems with life, but once I got my PV kicked and upped my wattage they are much better.

I use RTAs and the flavour is better or the same as my cartos and on a couple of my juices they actually taste better in my carto/tank.

Well now that this little flame war is over ;)

I'm interested in this ikenvape's, never heard of them before but look promising.

love me some ikenvape's....that's all i use now...the platinum series are simply the best 510 cartos i've ever used....i've never gotten a dud from any that i've ordered...and they have monster vape.

Does the tank needs replacement or just the attys?
A tank should last nearly indefinitely. The tiny washers or o-rings that are on the inside and outside of the end caps may need replacement every so often. The cartomizer, which houses the heating coil to produce vapor, will need to be replaced more frequently. When the draw becomes stiff or tight, it is time to replace the old carto with a new one.

It sounds like you would need a larger capacity tank to last all day with heavy vaping. The https://www.ibtanked.com/shop-tanks/clear-tubes/25mm-clear-detail 25mm diameter XL tank holds 8 ml of juice, probably the largest capacity tank you can find. The pyrex tube costs $7 and stainless steel endcaps will be an additional $20. https://www.ibtanked.com/caps/sscaps-detail.

The vendor also sells pre-punched cartomizers and drip tips.

Smokteks had a bad run a couple of years ago before bogegate started but redeemed themselves beautifully IMO with the resurrectors. Only someone who was around a couple of years ago and quit vaping would come in here spouting outdated opnions and nonsense like it was fact.

The low post count serves to back that up. One thing is for certain, trolling like that isnt going to make him very many friends and will almost guarantee he wont reach 100 posts.

Either that or he's an obnoxious kid logged into his mom or dads account and is gonna get a whipping when they find out he got them banned.

I think all the carto manufacturers have had bad runs time to time. Since I switched from the dual coil to single coil Smokteks, I've had maybe 2/40 duds. Since trying the Ikenvape Platinums, I've had zero duds out of 10 used so far.

I think there is something to be said about buying quality, genuine brand cartos once you find the ones you like. Scouring the internet to find the cheapest no-name brands that can be of questionable quality will only award you with disappointment and frustration.

The cartomizer is arguably the most critical component in the cartotank system; why skimp on the most important part to save a couple of bucks?

under privileged? wow you are one piece of work man. i would say that he's more privileged than you....at least he doesn't go around judging people for not liking something that he does.....if anything, your arrogance shown in this thread is more of a detriment to your character than anything else in this thread....you would be the one i'd call under privileged at that point, because quite frankly, at least the rest of us were born with common sense, and of course common courtesy.....

this is totally one of those "go back to WoW, troll kid." moments


I really didn't mean it that way.

It's a sad fact of life though, that we are not in fact created equal, that inequalities exist. Even on these vaping forums you witness this natural stratification of the vaping masses.

Which is why I stepped back in pity at the mention of smoketek carto's and the proud display of an instructional video on how to fill and operate a tank fed cartomiser.

It was a pathetic reminder of my own humble roots and invoked deep feelings of shame in me.

I need to clear my head.
