I find a VV device fitted with a high drain battery gives the best performance.For a strong throat hit i use 100% PG juices,PG doesnt carry the flavour as well as VG but its perfectly acceptable for me.A nice strong tobacco flavouring such as perique black or flue cured tobacco works well for that strong consistant hit.I use a Boge 3ohm cartomiser and vape at 4.2v when i wake in the morning and then keep boosting the voltage throughout the day when i need a bigger hit.By the end of the day im usually up to 5.5v which hits the spot nicely with a smoky tobacco flavour when having a beer.Vapourworld do a very nice flu cured tobacco which is well worth trying out in PG,i vape 36mg and it works a treat when all else isnt cutting it for me.

Many thanks for those very interesting pictures mate.I dont think your holes look bad at all,perfect for VG juices.Ive tried two holes in the carto which worked fantastic, but was just hammering my juice and giving a very wet feeling vape with reduced throat hit I find a small 1mm hole is adequate to keep juice flowing into the cartomiser without letting to much juice in to quickly which always results in more flavour, but less throat hit, for me anyway.Its all personal preference to be honest and i was not having a pop at your holes Raggy :)Ive been seeing other peoples holes around the forums and thinking, bloody hell that is way bigger than it needs to be.If your system works well then stick to it i say,my system works perfect for me which is why i see no need for punching massive holes and not getting the vape i want.Its worth mentioning that for thick VG mixes two 1.5mm holes works brilliantly,i had some VG juices left over and used them in that way.I dont for one minute take any offence at hearing peoples opinions Raggy and im glad that your system is working very well for you.I must admit that hole size is not life or death :)I simply like to keep the juice flowing as slowly as possible and get the benefit of a nice draw and less refilling of the tank.I never get any dry hits at all,the juice gets in but only when the carto is nearly empty.

I feel the carto hole punch isnt needed at all.I make a 1mm hole with a nail and that makes wicking perfect for PG juices.Arry says to make a 1mm hole,1.5mm if using VG.Some of the pictures of peoples holes really shocks me,they look way way to big.Ive made bigger holes in the past which result in leaking from the connector,a very airy vape or after a few days the carto completely floods and is useless.I dont like these saddle valve things at all as IMO they make far to big a hole.I usually get a good two weeks from each cartomiser with a tiny 1mm hole,with a hole any bigger it could be as little as a couple of days.Anyway,i added the 510-510 adaptor and it gives a much looser draw which is not at all airy.To be perfectly honest i prefer the vape with the adaptor on so i will leave it on.Tons of vapour and a great throat hit using a 3ohm Boge at 5.2v,perfect.I will get some kangers holed tonight and try one to see how they compare

For me the draw is perfect,not airy but not to tight either,its sort of a happy medium :)Ive used it on five or six mods and havent felt the need to add a 510-510 adaptor yet.Im off to try the adaptor now just to see what happens to the draw

Cheers for that info Blakey.Reading the article it now becomes apparent to me that these new tubes are the way to go for carto tanks.Ive just been speaking to Arry and it would seem a V4 is in the making As ive just said to Arry i cant see how it could possibly get any better than this.I hope Blakey and Curtis enjoy the V3 as much as i am

I dont think you would even need a syringe to be fair.Ive just screwed the top cap off the V3 and poured my juice back into my bottle to see if its messy or not :)Juice went straight back into the bottle and not a drop lost.That just leaves you to unscrew the bottom cap,screw in a new carto and screw the caps back in place.I also like the screw caps as you cant damage the tank, and the tube is made from a crack free plastic that doesnt crack when using some of the notorious juices such as cinammon,pear etc.Arry also linked me to some interesting information that there is health issues when using polycarbonate tubing.He found this out when searching for a crack free material for the V3 tube,its called polycarbonate leaching i think.Arry says this new tube is fully FDA compliant,whatever that means ???

I would definately agree with that Perpy,an SS V3 would be a great tank for those who have SS mods.Most of my mods are cheap black ones now so i love the V3 as it looks great on them all.I adore this tank on the lavatube and my dual 18650VVs,it looks very smart.Im getting the best vaping experience ive ever had from a selection of five cheaper VVs that are simply power monsters.

Infact thinking about it,ive never ever had a Boge carto die on me either in a tank or used normally.These cartomisers have been extremely long lasting and robust which is why i rate them the best of the best.Kangers seem to wimp off quickly and lose performance but Boges just keep going and going,especially in a tank.

Cartos dont just die though Blakey,ive NEVER had a carto die on me in any carto tank.Even if it did you could screw off the top cap and drain the tank with a syringe,or just tip the juice back into your bottle,change carto in seconds and away you go again.It vapes better than the lil mama and no cartos sliding about so its a winner for me.I always take a pre holed spare carto out with me just incase but never need it.Its my favourite tank by a long shot,i still like the lil mama but no good to put in your pocket unless you like losing juice.

Phew,im glad i didnt buy a Don now then.Regarding the ACTV3 ive had no problems at all,no leakage just a great vape.Im sure Arry said a 510-510 adaptor is required on some mods to make the draw and airflow better.Ive had mine on four different mods including the lavatube and it works faultlessly.

Now that is a very good idea Blue,very clever thinking.I reckon that idea would work an absolute treat.

Im the same as Perpy,i do have the odd flare up of dry skin and rashes.I only use PG so i know i must be sensitive to it,VG makes me chesty and leaves me short of breath so i cant use that.However,i can breath very well and have had no colds or viruses since i started vaping so the odd flare up is a small price to pay.Much better than ending up back on the fags IMO,it cant be hurting my body that much if i feel this well

Well,you have clearomisers with the coil at the top,and i love the warm vape they give.I-atty has its coil sort of in the middle and also gives a nice warm vape when i had it working well.I have found that all other rebuildables apart from the RTA and RDA dont cut it for me personally though,either to much faff or the vape just isnt rite.I think a coil at the top of the rebuildable is key to a nice warm vape.Im starting to wander if the rebuildable atomiser can be improved further?Ive heard about these Genesis atomisers but have been informed they are a pain in the arse to setup and maintain.I hope 2012 is another good year for vaping and looking forward to a selection of new products.To be honest though,whats left that hasnt already been done?lol.

Now this IS without doubt the best cartomiser tank that any vaper can buy.Im going to order more and sell my other tanks as this thing is perfect in every way.Surely this is the last revision as its A1 perfect,no negative points just a cracking vape.I honestly cant see how Arry could make it any better,definately one of my better purchases and highly recommended.My new favourite system is the Arry V3,ive stopped using everything else for now
