Weird infatuation with carto tanks...?

[Pepperty]

I thought my yen might go away (like my interest in recoiling) but it hasn't............am I mad?
I keep reading stuff, basically how it all works as every tank I've been attracted to seems to be a carto tank. So I went and did some research. You can get pre punched boges, that piqued my interest  thinkingsmileyno evil wire and fiddling with string!

I probably sound shallow but I like 'the look' It's the squareness? almost all the tanks with coils I can buy are curvy and look daft on my pv's of choice. I really can't see me dealing with coiling so I'm eying up carto tanks.

Actually I lie! = I have an eVic with siam mod tubes and a siam mods mini cube ....and 3 siam mod drip tips and a secret love for siam mods tanks. Alas they all seem to be carto tanks, and I want the matching tank on my mods. So what I'm really asking is- do I have unrealistic expectations? (30 youtube tutorials on) 

Here speaks a member who happily vapes on her itaste vv's with mini protanks, VTR with iclear 30s and pops on protank 1's on her provari mini -- but is still thinking 'oh! those carto tanks look pretty'

Can members offer advice? would pre punched boges into carto tank be an interesting sideline - bearing in mind that I have a couple of perfectly workable systems up and running or is it a step too far?

For total faff free vaping you can't beat a carto tank with a pre punched carto

I've yet to top a wee boaby with a lr boge at 9w they are still my adv I have 5 tanks carrying various flavours. I also have kayfuns, rose, spheroids and various high end drippers and for some reason my tanks out perform them all.

Goodie have no idea why I fancy a go at them when I do OK with the older protanks but I think its aesthetics? I know iclear16 give a good vape, and I use them too but... I feel if I try carto tanks and get on with them, it'll open up a new avenue of vaping looks wise if nothing else!

what sort of vape would I get?

and thanks for replies I'm reading/watching about carto tanks and it wont do me any harm to give them a whirl? it more a case of making the right starter choise I suspect? maybe in the way of moving from cigalikes and hitting pot luck bonus of iclear16 tanks...I hope!

Get one

They are great. I set it up and then tend to vape the entire 10ml bottle on the same cartomiser.

I already know (in my heart) that the word 'clone' strikes fear into me  Tease-smileyif its NOT genuine, my gut instinct takes offence   stupid really, as I do like a good price, but seems I need the real mccoy?

I'm more concerned about a sensible approach, as I'd hate to be put off by inferior stuff, and I know price isn't the way to gauge but i'm still a tad bit in the dark ( and I might - just might- be able to punch carts one day) whereas spinning coils and threading cotton will never happen!

now I happen to have that tank, in a multi buy on classifieds....was just worried about trying it ( with pre punched boges) and finding it grim? again I'm still a little confused at the 2 options (in pre punched) of low and standard --don't get me started on the length! 35MM 45MM XL AND XXL ect. (still reading up)

the DCT doesn't take regular sized boges you need the XL ones or the pre punched DCCs

I tend to do that with my tanks too! I allocate it a flavour -- and its in for the duration of its coil 

[Pepperty]

righty! well thats a start Karma The silver DCT takes 'prepunched dcc's' <<trying to work out where to start, and what to buy *noted*
Oh I do so struggle with numbers and initials, everything sounds like a STD   my typos have become unmanageable since I joined AAEC

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but the tank is only a vessel to hold the liquid and feed the carto so if you want to try one out go for the cheapest you can get. Then if you like it you can go for whatever takes your fancy
