Need some advice, not sure what to do. I know I need to order some more cartomisers or clearomisers this week but not sure the best way of going about things. I do love the Boge cartomisers, but for me they're just not portable, maybe it's just my taste buds or my fear of burning them but I'm topping them up after about every 10 puffs, so they're only good to me if I'm watching TV or something and even then that's a PITA. I like the clearomisers, but only for my tobacco flavours, the taste is too muted for anything else IMO. The new rebuildable V3 are out, but that doesn't seem like massive value for money to me. For the price of rebuilding one you could almost buy a whole new one and save the hassle. So do I stock up on the discontinued V2? @£4 each I have a vivi nova and I'm hoping the cherrylicious will work well in that, but that's just one flavour. I was going to buy one of these 3.5ml tanks before I bought my nova www.vapeescape.co.uk/coloured%2Dtanks%2D3%2E5ml%7E319and I'm still tempted, cos they're only a few quid more than an Ego clearomiser But I've noticed that the carto in them is 1.5ohm, so I can't use that on the Riva, can I? What about on my twist? Sorry for all this, I'm trying to find something that can hold a lot of juice but doesn't sacrifice the flavour like the ego clearomisers do.... That's what I hope I've found in the vivi nova, but at £12 a pop I can't afford to have several of them on the go as I do with cartos.... Advice please, I'm lost...

Why don't you just keep the cartos that your happy with and use the vivi nova when you're out and about?

Ellen here's a solution that might combine what you want, but it's not 100% straightforward. You can get a tank, 3.5 or 6ml, without cartos, eg this one www.vapeescape.co.uk/3.5ml-%26-6ml-clear-tanks-%28tube-%26-caps%29~322You would then also need to buy xxl Boge cartos and a carto punch to put the hole in them. You would end up with a decent sized tank with Boge cartos that were not 1.5ohm and therefore useable on your Riva

The juice in the tank also keeps the carto wet?

The Vape escape link is the tanks? Or was it meant to be a hole puncher? I couldn't find one on their site. The one on EBay looks fine, but scary lol. Am sure I can find a video somewhere showing me what to do to punch the holes.... Am I missing some kind of logic here, why do they only make pre-punched ones in LR? Surely there's a demand for SR ones that are pre-punched? I can't be the only one who's frightened at the idea of using that hole punch thingy lol

The safercigs link is to a custom-made carto punch that easily puts the hole in the right place. The ebay link is a cheaper but more fiddly punch used by plumbers
