DCC carto tank cartomisers

[womble]

I bought a challenger tank from safercigs and need to buy some more cartos to fit it. SC seem to have discontinued the range of cartos.
They have a flange.

I really really like this tank and the flavour it gives me.

Any ideas for the cheapest place to buy them?

I buy mine from ecig wizard.

Thanks, I saw those, but they don't seem to have flanges on them?

[Anne (fuzzy)]

They do. If you look at the photo of the tank on the same page, you'll see the flange. I bought 2 last week and am using one of them at the moment. If you want to make sure, send a message to [e-mail]

That's great thanks.

How long do you find they last in the tank?

My first one I used was great until I filled it up one day, then it decided that it would bring up e-juice to my mouth and leak through the bottom uncontrollably, it was working great till then.

I put in a new carto and this has been fine, but I just wondered how long it should last and why the other one went wrong?

[Anne (fuzzy)]

My last one lasted 6 weeks! I only threw it out as the juice started to turn dark and had a burnt taste. otherwise I'd still be using it.

The only reason I can think of why it might leak is the flange being a bad fiit, maybe bent?

I occasionally get a drop or two of e liquid in my mouth through the drip tip, but it doesn't bother me. I just rinse it out.

[womble]

Wow , 6 weeks sounds great, if only mine would last that long.

It leaked through the air hole, it was totally unusable, although I tried everything to make it better.

I'll see how this one does and order some more. The tank really is a great bit of kit!

[Anne (fuzzy)]

Just wondering if there's a more logical reason that could cause the liquid to pour out from both ends. Hmm. Maybe someone more experienced can shed some light on this one!

Gordy, are you around!!??

only pre-punched carto avaliable atm is the one with the flange

FYI moju republic have them slightly cheaper using 'ukvapers' code but postage is £1.14

you called ma lady LOL

if it was a standard size hole then it looks like the coils/air tube got dislodged and allowed juice to 'free flow' if this happens again have a go at taking a straightened paper clip and poke it gently up the battery end center hole.. you may have to wobble slightly but dont use and force to make it pass up to the top ...this should realign the coils/tube

[Anne (fuzzy)]

Apparently, the average life of the cartos is about 2-3 weeks for moderate to heavy vapers womble. I think I was just lucky!

[Gordy]

but your not a heavy vaper Anne... mine last for weeks and weeks ...the draw can get a little firmer but the paper clip trick and a blow down the drip tip into a tissue sorts that out too

The flanged cartomisers are now available from Healthcabin here: www.healthcabin.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1076_1118&products_id=7955

Thanks for your help everyone.

Now I just need advice on the ohms

E-cig wizard does 3 ohms and 1.5 ohms.

I think I'm right in saying the 1.5 ohms is stuck to about 3.7 volts on the Lavatube. So if I went for the 3 ohms presumably I would be able to whack the voltage up a lot?
