Let the stress-testing begin...heh, heh, heh.
A Vision ViVi Nova Replaceable Element Clearomizer
rides atop an Innokin Leo Pro 1000 mAh Pass-through

Count on a review...don't know how I missed this tank before but it certainly looks promising.
Thanks again, kgoallthewaygo, for the info, and thanks to everybody else for your suggestions so far. It should get here by Wednesday, so I will try to have a review by week's end.

24mg PG Dekang DK-TAB (3ml) + 0mg 50/50 Strawberry Daiquiri (1ml) = 18mg Strawberry TAB
Has around 12.5% VG for excellent vapor production without muting flavor
Bought 50ml of Vapelite's DK-TAB for $10, and 15ml of EC Blend's Strawberry Daiquiri for $5.95
Total cost for 65ml including shipping and using EC Blend coupon code "10020": $20.46 - $.31/ml.

OK. After CAREFUL consideration and some good suggestions (I'm sure I will get around to trying everything I've heard good things about), I decided to order the VISION ViVi NOVA™ 3.5ml Twist-On Replaceable Coil TANK for $13.99 here - http://www.esmokeronline.com/E-Cigarette-Atomizers-by-EsmokerOnline/Vision-Vivi-Nova.html?redirected=1
The kicker for me, besides being everything I specified as a "need", was the fact that the atomizer (510 threads) can be self-rebuilt OR replaced for $2.99, and they come in 1.8 ohms. Looks to have really good seals and top and bottom plates that thread into the THICK tubing and have pressure O-rings where the tank meets the covers. I'm gonna be watching the mailbox for this one, and I'll post a review when I get a chance to put it through it's paces.
Please keep the suggestions coming, though...I'm pretty sure I'm not finished trying out stuff that I really don't need. LOL

i was looking at the leo pro and there may be an issue with the recessed threads...i would say a riser is deff needed...from the looks of it, the threads (while they may be 510) look nothing like my the ego or kgo. so i would deff look into getting a riser.
I think to be on the safe side, I'll go ahead and get the riser. I found the following pic of the Vision and I don't think the sleeve will go around what I've got.
Man, you've been a tremendous help. I'm going to place an order pronto! Thanks a million!

no adapter, they are 510 threads.
In the pictures of the Vision eGo Transparent Clearomizer V2 for 510/eGo, 1.8-2.0 ohm, there appears to be a "sleeve" that surrounds recessed 510 threads, and I was just wondering if that sleeve will impede using the tank without a eGo-510 connector/"riser" (like this one - http://www.smoktek.com/eGo-510-connector--Use-eGo-Mega-atty-and-tank-on-your-mod_p_103.html ). I've never used anything with that type of recessed 510 connection before, so please forgive the noob concerns...just want to make sure I get everything I need to make this happen the first time around.
Thanks again for your help. -
i would say the vision v2 clearomizer. do not go for the v1 the wicks are to short and the heating element is junk. the v2 has longer and better wicks imho. the vision stone v2 is also a good choice, again dont go with v1! the v2 stone also has interchangeable innards so you can get a 1.5ohm and then switch it out for a 2.0ohm or 1.8, what ever floats your boat. and the price aint half bad.
Thanks for the quick response. Any recommendations on where to buy either the vision v2 clearomizer or vision stone v2? Also, will I need any sort of adapter?

Does anyone know of a good clear cartomizer or tank system that utilizes wicks instead of filler? It's to be used on a 3.7V Innokin Leo Pro, so it needs to have 510 threads, a single element (preferably ceramic), and be low-resistance (2 ohm or less).
I would also like to see one that has metal surrounding the bottom of the tank tubing. Everything I've found so far has the plastic tube surrounding the threaded end piece, which inevitably splits or spins free around the threaded end from screwing them on and off my PV, no matter how careful I am to grip them at the very bottom (over the metal).
I love the performance of CCV's Resurrectors, but every clear one I've tried so far ends up breaking free from the threaded metal connector end, and unlike wick-type tanks, the heat that the LR coil produces can and will burn the filler, even if you don't let it run dry...I watched it happen to a couple that were completely full of juice (you can see the black burned section through the saturated filler).

Boge Leo 800 mAh PT w/ DC LR CE Clearomizer - because I like using abbreviations. LOL Maybe that will change when I try the much-ballyhooed 1.7 ohm Resurrectors from CCV. They should be here Tuesday.
Okay...change that to the Boge Leo 800 mAh PT w/ the much-ballyhooed 1.7 ohm Resurrectors (that FINALLY arrived from CCV...holiday weekend holdup). There's just no comparison to any other cartos I've tried.
I got the XLs and Jumbo Resurrectors...both perform beautifully. I like the XLs a little better only because the Jumbos won't fit under the Leo cap. The clear XLs are really nice because you can see the inner workings when filling so you know when it's full, and you can see when to refill BEFORE the dry hit.
In my opinion, you haven't tasted your juice until you try some of these.

Like the OP, I recently dewicked one of my attys, but I did not like the resulting performance at all.
I do prefer dripping to using cartridges with my Boge Leo PT, and the debridged atty I already had worked decently UNTIL I dewicked it. Once dewicked, however, it was as if the juice I dripped into the coil cup just ran right out the bottom and provided almost no vapor at all, not to mention flooding the thread section of the sealed battery (no biggie...just a pain to clean up when I dripped). It appears, on the Leo standard attys anyway, that the wick needs to be in place to feed the coil properly and hold the juice to prevent it from running out through the bottom of the coil cup.
When comparing an unmodified Leo standard atty (bridged and wicked), a debridged-only atty, and a debridged/dewicked atty, the winner hands down was the unmodified atty. It's like it needs the bridge to release the juice into the steel mesh filler surrounding the coil cup, and then the wick to feed the coil from the filler.
I tried dripping as few as 3 drops per session all the way up to 6 drops per session, closely watching that I didn't flood the coil cup, but In no scenario did the previously mentioned outcome differ at all...unmodified took the prize again and again.

Nicotek Metro.
Not a bad e-cig for an auto-battery starter set if you don't mind recharging after 25-30 minutes of use. I've stepped up considerably since that one.
I still use them every so often when I want to blend in, and they still work well when you fill them yourself (the pre-filled cartos' juice flavor leaves a little to be desired). They're easy to refill because they have the white silicone end plug...not the plastic glued-in one.
Please read posts #19 and #20 here - - to find out how I'm still using the same cartos that came with that kit MONTHS later.
OH, YEAH!!! My wife just reminded me of my VERY first e-cig..the 21st Century Smoke disposable...ABSOLUTE CRAP!!!

Today I boiled some cold tap water (not hot because it sits in a HW tank for a while stewing), used the same method as above, but this time let them air dry in the window sill on the sunny side of the house for a while (it's unseasonably hot today, even for Mississippi). I tried boiling water this time because I ran out of distilled water, and wanted to kill any microbes that may be living in the tap water. Same result...no metallic taste from the tap water flush. Flushed four cartos...all four are now loaded and firing like new. They may be called disposable, but I just can't throw anything away that still works like new. I A/B tested against new blanks, and can't distinguish between the new ones and the flushed ones.
PS - I think that the boiling water method may even be a better way to clean the cooked on e-juice off the coils than using room temperature distilled water. They seem to offer up more flavor and maybe a little warmer vapor temperature than my previous method. (Guess what I'll be doing with the rest of my my bag-o-cartos this afternoon.:-) )

Somewhere I saw an LED flashlight accesory for your PV,a lock thawer would be possible,an igniter for gas grills,I suppose you could incorporate a transformer and a capacitor and make a stun gun attachment.

I know...I know. This is an old thread, but now it's all NEW again.

How about distilled water flushing them regularly and low temp oven drying every few days or so? Call me lucky, but I've never...let me repeat that...NEVER had a carto "die". I pull 120 ml of room temperature DW through each carto with a giant syringe fitted with an ink pen grip, then use the same syringe to pull air through each carto a few times to suck the DW out, and then low temp. oven dry any moisture out. They come out like brand new...every one so far.

I suggest getting a wall outlet timer from your local hardware store. That way, you can set it to shut off after the allotted charge time of your device.

Haven't found anything as far as the condition being linked to vaping
Thanks for the reply. I haven't seen anything linking the two either, but it just seemed like pretty odd timing that it started immediately after I began vaping regularly. I don't want to stop vaping for any length of time to see if it goes away because...well, because I LOVE to vape. It saved me from myself as far as the two pack a day thing, and since I have NO willpower, I'm afraid if I stop vaping, the smokes will start callin' my name again. LOL
Well, maybe it's nothing, and as I've said, it's not really a problem...not even noticeable to others. I've had nothing else strange happen to me since I started vaping, and if that's all that's GOING to happen, so be it. I can live with that.
-
By the way, before vaping, I used to smoke two packs of cigarettes daily, so I don't really think that it's the nicotine causing these spasms. I also have made no significant changes to diet, sleep patterns, or caffeine intake. My thoughts are that it might be a mild reaction to something in the e-sauce. I've tried juice from various vendors, including straight PG, VG, and a multitude of PG/VG blends (I heard about PG intolerance), as well as flavored AND unflavored juices with AND without nic (as sort of an experiment), but never just one particular strength or blend for any extended period of time, so I never could isolate if my e-liquid theory was correct. I still vape regularly, though...and still notice that my overall health has increased dramatically since I made the switch.
-
I, too, suffer (not really SUFFER) from the exact same symptoms that the OP described. This has never happened to me before I started vaping full time, so I decided to do a little research on the subject of eye-twitches. I got the same info about laying off the caffeine, get more rest, take certain supplements that my body might be starting to need more of, etc. Even on other vaping forums, they kept saying, "Nothing to worry about...it's natural to have a little spasm every now and again." (Heard THAT before?)
Well, two months later and it's still going on, and I still can't find out why. Same eye...same twitch sensation. Don't get me wrong...I am NOT a hypochondriac. In fact, I can count the number of doctor visits for other than injuries during my adult life (I'm 47 years old) on one hand. I'm pretty active and healthy, so I just couldn't believe that it had nothing at all to do with my new found love of vaping. Also, it's really not even an aggravation, it just "is".
I think that the vaping community is more than a little hesitant to bring anything negative up about nicotine and vaping for fear that someone (insert gov't) might step in to investigate health issues and make it harder to get their supplies. Also, vapers (understandably) are SO tired of being tied to smokers in perception, and thereby can't stand to hear anything negative about nicotine (it's really NOT candy, right?) or vaping that even many veteran vapers put the blinders on to negative side-effects (unintentionally, I'm sure).
So I'm still out there looking for the answers, and I convinced that it's vape related. I still got nothin', however, and that's why I'm here making my first post on this forum.
Thanks in advance for any information that may shed some light on why this is still going on two months later
Need Help Finding A Good 510 Wick-Type Tank System

That's Dekang DK-TAB 24 mg. I'm not exactly sure of the PG/VG mix (neither was the vendor, but he guessed 80/20 PG/VG). It's thin, but it doesn't seem like straight PG thin.
