Looking for some advice on where to buy cartos and tanks for cartos, what the best ones are etc, currently using boge Standard resistance cartos and really like them, also the cheaper the better, we are in a recession after all and i have my eyes on a lavatube, i also only buy from uk vendors as im too impatient to wait for delivery lol

Thanks

The only 'branded' cartos I've bought are the Boge SR's - they seem to work pretty well so I can't see a lot of point in buying anything else (carto wise). Assuming they also work well on my (new to me) e-power then I'll be bulk ordering a few boxes soon.

Lil mama with a 2.5 ohm carto in it on a mini lava tube works for me. all available from ivapour which is UK based and the owner is also a member of ukv "Toby"

I've been using the cartos for about 2 months now and they perform well can't say who makes them thou the box is unbranded

I got some Kanger 2.0 ohm carto's from Liberty Flights, £6:49 for a pack of five, work great on my Riva 750mAH battery, on my Lava Tube and also on my wife's VV eGo 900mAH battery.

The Boge cartos are really good and they're still the cheapest (I think) wherever you get them, particularly if you buy in bulk from China, so I'd say stick with those. Stick with the SR ones if you like sweet flavours, or try the LR ones if you like savoury ones. If you want to go for a longer tank, start buying in the XL versions over the standard length ones and that extra ~5mm will give you some more options.

The question about which carto tank is best is really tough to answer. I haven't heard of anyone who has tried them all, and new ones keep coming out all the time. For me there's no way the ones that cost over £30 are worth it unless they have a glass tube and built in atty connector, and even then thats asking a bit too much. Similarly, those under £12 don't have the same quality control so I personally wouldn't go for them either. Around £22 (on average) seems to be the sweet spot for price and features, and from then on it really depends on which of those you need. Certain flavours can crack or otherwise damage certain tank material (mainly polycarbonate) so if you use one of those you'll need to look for a different tube material, be it delrin, glass, vinyl, or steel. You'll also need to consider what size of tank you want and whether you'd be able to cut the tube material if you intend on using Boge cartos in a tank made for dual coil ones (Boges, even XL Boges, are shorter than DCCs). Basically it's one big minefield, but any tank vendor worth their salt will help you out with questions you might have about the product and will provide support if you have difficulty after a purchase.

i think the best way is not to use tanks at all.. just top your carto up from a small fluid bottle as you go along.. it only take a few seconds to do and you can control what goes in better than a tank system..

at one end of the scale we have direct dripping into an atomizer a couple of drops a time at the other end large "tanks" that go a very long time between fill ups..

tanks are popular at the moment but they are not an essential..
