  1. @DV: I never ran into that problem, although I've heard it alot. I know you prime your new carts but I'm sure some people don't.

    I've only used carto tanks on a Provari.

    Have you looked at, tried or know of anyone that has been using the Big Daddy Vapes stainless steel tanks? I just put down $60 for one last night and hoping that it won't crack.

  2. M1A1_Rootbeer_Tank__38532_zoom.png

    The M1A1 tank from Notcigs is made from an UNCRACKABLE tube material that only Notcigs has. If you can break it we will replace the tube section no charge !

    I ordered, based on your advice, and I guess because I was desperate, and thought that you knew what you were talking about.

    Within 3 seconds of filling this (POS) with 50/50 PG/VG tobacoo jiuce, it cracked. It actually had a MASSIVE STROKE before even 1 ML was introduced into it.

    Now. Do I waste my time asking for a free replacement?

    NOTCIGS is NOT4ME and good advice is even harder to come by.

  3. @case, do you know if the tube is Lexan? I haven't had any luck at all with Lexan and have been looking for something that won't crack in 4-5 days (and I do pay attention to not using the anti-Lexan type ejuices, like cinnamon and no dropping, etc).

    If anyone else knows of a pyrex tank (like a J Tank style) please comment where they can be found? Or, maybe there's a better material out there (Chris?)

    Thanks for the post case. Let us know how it holds up and I'll beat a path to jonboyUSMC :scooter:

  4. (Hint: during your first month, spend >$350 on e-cigs and you'll break the analog habit!)

    Honestly, all the above is great advice. If you find, after a few months, that e-cigs are satisfying and that you start using them more and more, don't be afraid to goto more expensive mods. A Provari can last you for years; an Ego not so long. You'll also find that making your own eliquid is easy, extremely inexpensive and a actual fun hobby.

  5. Hey Bob ! You probably came before me but don't let Brian suck all the fun outta this room!! J tanks are great; I use the ones from vaporescence (forget what they name them; they're all about the same though).

    I use about the same setup with a ProVari and I use 100% VG with the same punched cartos (well, almost 100%... my nic comes in at 60mg pg/vg... they don't say what the pg to vg % is there). Otherwise, I cut it with pure 100 VG and 10-20% flavors.

    Just keep a a small unbent paper clip handy to stab through the carto each time you refill the tank.

    HEAVEN.

    oops, forgot to mention. I'm a hard core anything cinnamon fan too. Sure, it "frosts" my tank, but it'll take months to bust a tank and I could care less about looks. Go for it. Wish I had met ya a year ago.

  6. Fun topic. I have no idea how I originally found these but my first was a pen-style called the "No. 7". Pretty slick looking (black) with a sealed/rechargable battery that would sometimes last as long as 2 full hours! LOL, I even originally thought the "auto drag" was a great feature!

    After about a month, I purchased a pass-through EGo. Oh boy, this will keep me happy FOREVER! Yea, right. 3 months later, started buying the larger EGo batteries. (hey, what's this... more vape?).

    Now that I had the battery power of 1100 mah, I was wanting even MORE vape. Started buying LR cartos, etc. I thought I was in heaven. (well... not yet).

    On a bleak and dreary Saturday night, 4-5 beers done, I ordered the Provari. I wish I had known to go straight there from the beginning.

    (beer CAN be your friend!)

  7. Sounds like a pretty good setup to me. I'm gonna grab a C with a few things of juice.. i suppose with the C i don't necessarily need the soft tips? Are they just nice to have? I would rather avoid any leaking - that would be dismaying.

    You are certainly on the right track with what you have picked out. Always keep in mind, this is a great way for you to experience vaping to first determine if you will want to stay with it or not.

    At only 12-15 cigs/per day any ecig setup will cost you more, in the long run, to operate, so, be willing to accept that you're new experience will not save you money. But, if your goal is 100% no more analogs, then you'll reach that goal almost immediately (that's a good thing).

    So, you'll have a new, fun, healthy hobby. And, rest assured, you'll be sporting a Provari and mixing your own ejuices within 9-12 months!
