What tank should i get?

Blackbird86 · Jun 25, 2016

I have an eleaf istick tc40w. Currently using an aspire nautilus 5ml. Thing floods and leaks. Looking for advice on a good tank to get. I got an aspire cleito but realized it's only good for high wattage. I generally prefer vaping at 5-12w. I chain vape so I'd like something that holds around 5 ml.

What tank should I get? Something that works well with eleaf istick tc40w. Something that holds around 5ml. Something good for vaping at lower wattage (5-12w) vaping.

Thanks!

Have you tried the Triton Mini 1.8 ohm coil in the Nautilus? I'm not a mtl guy, but I found this eliminated the flooding and leaking.

I started with an IStick 40 tc and a kanger sub mini.

Whatever you decide on a tank, do you have another mod or two as backup? My 40 tc did not last very long, and fda regulations could make everything tough to get.

I replaced it with an IPV D3 for about $30. Very small and light. External single battery. Can do 80w, 5-12 as you mentioned, or in between- if you want to give the Cleito another try at some point.

Welcome to VU!

Do you want a tank to build your own coils, or one you buy replaceable coils for?

You can get the optional Cleito RTA System (should be called RBA though) for your Cleito tank. In addition you want to buy the extension tube, if you're going that route, due to the RBA being a bit wider than the standard coils, you loose some juice capacity. You can build a coil of your choice for it.
Considering the FDA regulations, I would go with any tank, where you at least have the option for building your own coils, or go build only (RTA).

Buy replaceable coils

Good luck getting coils, in case FDA's regulations will prevail.

Eleaf GS tank is good for what you're looking for. It takes coils for GS Air. Lots of flavor, reasonably priced. They sell them at lots of places, I got mine at Discount Vapers. I think Sweet Vapes sells them, too, I know they have the coils. Perfect time to watch for deals and start stocking up on coils.

I agree, stocking up on coils is a good thing to do. However, having an alternative, as in building your own coils needs to be considered. We don't know, how it's gonna pan out with the FDA's regulations.

I think the Cubis holds 3.5. Innokin T22 at 4.5 or so.

A larger Atlantis compatible tank, like the Silo Beast or Tobeco Super Tank, should be able to run a Triton 1.8 coil. Larger coil than Triton Mini 1.8.

I don't think FDA regs gonna go that bad but who knows- safer than sorry-no personally THINK it's gonna be bumped ahead awhile and eventually well pay more for juice so I'll be doing MTL again

We have one month to stack up
- No one can honestly predict so stacking up is smart

That's true. I don't think any of us expected what they're trying to do. I can't see that any of it is to protect vapers or manufacturers, just their own pockets. It's just shocking.

Nancy_Bout · Jun 26, 2016

It's appalling

They want us back on cigs -
Thankfully we aren't that huge yet worldwide but by time we are there will be a big tax likely .
They want to get those funds- evil people really

Tobacco funds everything from bonds to patches to chemo.

3 years ago, there was no stigma at all vaping an eGo or similar. Then products got better and vaping became a mainstream threat to those funds.

The issue I see is most ppl, including myself, are not going to do DIY liquid. Juice stays tasty only so long. So, the buck stops Aug 5, 2018 as it stands now. Could be sooner.

Even if vaping itself remains legal, how many would be willing to be the only vaper seen in publc, within 10 square miles?

Then there's the effect of the affordable care act.....

I would. I don't want to smoke again.

I'm more worried about coils, tanks and mods for the pending regulations. I don't see cotton, wire or juice being that much of a problem. A good amount of juice makers I have spoken to have said they don't care they will continue to make juice. They may go underground and the prices may go up a bit but I don't think e juice is going away. Just in case though I probably have a year's supply of juice on hand so I won't have to scramble once everything goes down reg wise. That's my take on this whole debacle. I've been stockpiling coils, tanks, and mods. I also just recently started building and using Rta's. That's how I'm preparing. Even if the dates get pushed back the stuff I stockpiled so far is non perishable.

Do those tanks work well with low wattage (around 9w) vaping? And they dont flood? My nautilus floods almost daily. I hear nautilus mini is good but it doesnt hold enough juice. I hear cleito is good but its designed for high wattage vaping

mikeyboy74 · Jun 27, 2016

Its mostly the resistance of the coil that drives the wattage. Those above 1 ohm are often rated for low wattage.

I didn't expect to prefer higher wattage vaping, but that's how it worked out.

Also, Kanger has 1.2 and 1.5 coil options.

There are other tanks that take Nautilus coils, like the Kabuki. There are some mtl threads for those who prefer that kind of vape.

Also, I find higher nic with more pg offers the throat hit, in any tank, whether or not I do the traditional double inhale. Others
really prefer a very tight draw, but I don't find analogs all that tight a draw. Smoking is a difficult thing to replicate, so I just vape what I enjoy as the mood hits me.

Nancy_Bout · Jun 29, 2016

I won't DIY and I won't smoke-
I would likely quit or cut down drastic and I'm aware easier said than done but I will be resentful of tobacco $ they won't take a penny off me

I have enough juice for 6-8 mos I'll buy some more.
More coils
And higher nic juice as well and more nautilus coils to make everything last long as possible
Than quit if it hits that

You are correct the Nautilus floods, the mini does not too often and never as bad but a gentle blow and it's clear. The Cleito is crap for flavor, these are for direct to lung cloud charsers. Triton leaks, gurgles and floods but is excellent when not; same with the Nautilus to a lessor degree. I use the Nautilus mini and have to fill it 2 x a day but the flavor is good and leaking is never an issue. Have Triton Mini on the way, I want top fill. The Nautilus coils will fit the Triton Mini and rumor has it they vape better than the Clapton 1.8 Triton coils. Additionally the Nautilus coils are rebuildable. So screw the FDA. I save every single used coil, clean with 8 oz hot water with a tiny tip, a pair of hemostats and flush from the top of the coil, let dry for a couple three days and reuse. When it is spent...then I can rebuild the coil endlessly. Aspire can't seem to develop a larger tank without issues. I know that NicVape is the only company who currently plans on getting diluted nicotine on their approved list, along with all there other DIY goodies. Their flavors are excellent and will be adding more before the August 8th deadline. They seem committed to seeing it all through.

Don't see anything in the law about prohibiting the sale of coils.
