  • @GrimmGreen Some wicked fine motor skills ya got there lol. If I don't hear, "welp there it goes onto the floor" at least once per vid I gotta make sure I'm watching Grimm lol. I actually enjoy it and it makes ya more human to me so keep on dropping stuff! Seriously, I wanted to thank you for all that you've done for our beloved vaping community. I know you live in NV and ask what the vape scene is like there? In Vegas it's almost non-existing, or so it seems. Aside from over-priced kiosks.

  • @GrimmGreen As of the last day or two I've seriously been considering getting a J-tank for my Prodigy V3.1 but I'm afraid of dropping the 20 bones on it only to have to wait to buy a 510-510 extension due to the V3's beveled adapter. My wife wants a tank solution for her Torpedo while on her 40 min. drive to work and I know if I get one and it works well she'll want one too. She's very resistant to change with her vaping and would rather use her eGo T for it. Thank you for the awesome vids!

  • Hey Grimm - I've recently been getting really into tanks and throughout my year of vaping, I've always dripped. I've only used SmokTech 'type' tanks and I've used nothing else just because these seem to work fine. I've heard many people saying that cartos will only last them a few days, yet I've been rockin' the same carto for a couple of weeks. How long do yours usually last?

  • @GuideToVaping i'm about the same as you, usually 3-4 weeks, if not more lol

  • oh there it is. ...now its on the floor.

  • does that SmokTech tank fit in ego battery?

  • @uliman24 Yeah it will work, a dual coil might not be ideal on a 3.7v ego

  • i have the smoktech tank and cartos and they dont seem to make a connection on my ego passthrough. any ideas? i tried adjusting the center but if i pull it out too much then my passthrough will not work at all??

  • @zgr9 ? that's very strange, I don't have an ego passthrough so I can't speak to this directly

  • @GrimmGreen got it working on a 5V box mod, seems i got a bogus passthrough. it barely works now on SR cartos. emailed the vendor to see what he can do

  • /watch?v=zQNxfvmRaDY&feature=r­elated

    What do you think of this poor man's cartomizer tank mod? Looks like a cheap way to try a tank if you have an eGO and are thinking of springing the cash for a new atomizer and tank but want to try it before you buy it.

  • what is a good tank and carto to use on a prover at 4.7 volts?

  • @andyblue2525 Most any tank works great, I prefer the Cartomator tanks, for 4.7v you would need at least a 2.0ohm cartomizer

  • I noticed the cartomator was on a lava tube. Seing that you can't use low ohms at higher volts with the lava tube, is that a single coil 3.0 ohm cartomizer? Now my head hurts. Just got my lava tube in and looking for a tank system that will work with it. Thanks.

  • @DWildermuth1 you can use low ohms on the tube up to 4v , if you adjust it higher it will automatically lower it to that voltage

  • nHaler has the Cartomator for around 11 dollars cheaper..Just sayin

  • @on3fifth I think I mentioned Nhaler in the video, but thanks for the heads up

  • @GrimmGreen Yeah you did NHaler is just cheaper is what I wanted to say.

  • Hey Grimm, I wonder if you tried the Gummy Tank from Vapor Age? It's the original Carto Tank but, I'm not sure if it's good or not.

  • Search this for video review--sounds great!

    "Sneak peek of Big Daddy Vapor full SS tank with window"

  • Grimm--I have most of the tanks you reviewed but one you're missing is the Big Daddy from Big Daddy Vapor --it's definitely my fave--you gotta check it out!I've been using one of BDV's stainless steel carto tubes for awhile now with juices that will crack the poly tubes and it works great .There's also a youtube video review of a stainless steel carto tank tube with a window that Big Daddy is going to have on sale soon!

  • @shack5522 You are right i have most carry 4 to work and my 2 Lil Mamas are the best

  • Looking forward to the future availability of quality tank/atomizer combos. Do not like cartos (taste) or dripping (pain).

  • mic. check

  • mic. check 

  • One thing I find is left out of most "tank" reviews. Their limitations. Certain juices will destroy some tanks.In less than 7 hours, my juice destroyed the "Liquinator".

    For you to continue to put your good name behind this product and it's vendor, is not good. A little extra research on "tanks" you could of warned people that some citrus oil based, and cinnamon based liquids will obliterate most tanks, and at $20 to $70 per tank, that's important info you left out. Your still the best.

  • @RonHarrisMe Yeah if you use a cinnamon juice in anything but an atomizer you are asking for trouble, I assumed this was common knowledge, It's discussed quite a bit on my facebook, I apologize I should have mentioned this

  • @creaturefiend19 what doesn't make sense

  • @ grimmgreen what is your favorite mod and carto type.

  • Got a DC tank from thehouseofvapor and I'm loving it. I hated it when i first got it, because i didnt know making a bigger hole was necessary. once i got that done, it was the best vaping experience i've had so far. feels nice not having to bring a bottle of juice for an all day outing. watermelon/menthol juice has never tasted better.

    BTW, can I purchase any GrimmArmy stickers or any Grimm Green Stickers? I would love to support you on my carrying case or Even my car!

  • nice review. i like the all in one bang, thats what she said. lol.

  • Thanks for the Tank review. I've only got the 3mil J Tank but I really like it. Using it with a dual coil carto with 2 slots in it as I use 100% VG. Probably would work with one but I get to happy with the dremel tool I guess.

  • How do you cut it? How big?

  • @pongkito one slice, maybe 1/2 inch long down near the bottom, I use the bottom of the tank to measure where the slice should go

  • Thx for doing the j-tank review grimm!

  • @GrimmGreen Ha ha no i know that i meant is it safe to charge in your house.

  • I like how he said slut and not slot

  • @mezmaries i said slot... right? :) 

  • 13 Mins is just not long enuf Nick, keep up the great work bud !!

  • @alor54 Thanks!!! I always hate making videos that are too long lol

  • Tanks a lot Nick keep up the good work I'm interested in the reason you slice your cartos the smoke tech with the tiny hole seem to work for me and would like to know what kind of issues you were having with them in there stock configuration. Also have you tried the 2.5ohm duel coil cartos from cov they rock on a vv device I can crank them to 6v on my proveri with no problem and they will blow the top of your head clean off so you have to ask yourself do you feel lucky punk.... Well do ya!!! Lo

  • @ptslowride I didnt feel like I was getting enough juice. My carto was running dry quite often while using just the little holes

  • @GrimmGreen with the stock holes they send them with. I just take my saddle valve and pop a few more in the carto. I even poke a few holes closer to the top so the juice saturates up there also. Also if you haven't bought a saddle valve yet it's a dream with punching cartos, they're cheap at home depot.

  • @silenttecf Thank for the Saddle Valve tip! I'm "dremel-less" so off to Home Depot I go.

  • @ptslowride this makes no sense.

  • Tanks a lot Nick great job keep up the good work

  • Totally understand the drip tip off the desk trick. It's nature's way of saying "hey that refill looks too easy, lets make you work for that next vape".

  • I want a Grimm army sticker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @DJxBroadcastx I have a few right now if you want to email me your address bud

  • This isnt related to the video but where do you charge your mod batteries?

  • @sweissreviews in the charger? not quite sure what your asking

  • Grimm...in addition to the question I had below about the innovapor atties, I also wanted to know if uve heard anything about the "Thermovape" PV it is basically the same (like same manufacturer ) as the innovapor ultra max, but it has an herbal vapebabe attachment and cool delrin body armor, they also sell those same AVA atties but $10 bucks cheaper...worth a look

  • @smiitty19722 I have a 510 adapter that acts as a short extension to use a drip shield , and tha looks like it'd be close to the height of the button, but the tank might block some of the button and make it had to fire...this is just a guess, nick,(Grimm) could prob answer this for sure, and u could obvi use a gooseneck with a tank on top to the glv but....I'd recommend if u have the glv already try a 510-501 sealed adapter and a drip shield on a 510 atty...or if u haven't ordered yet, I'd say

  • 13 min. isn't bad. I just watched pbusardo's 49 min., Lawrence of Arabia style, epic SVR review.

  • @random13739 Yeah that was epic, it was like the LordOfTheRings of vape videos

  • Tanks mucho! :D

  • @steeljan lol , thanks Jan!

  • @smitty19722 hey man, I don't think you can use a tank on the GLV2 b/c of where the button is in relation to the atty connector... I haven't used one, I'm just guessing from the vids I've seen on them

  • @bumpiNUCKZ thanks bump, what about an extension?

  • @SMITTY19722 Yeah you would have to grab a 510 to 510 adapter to use a tank on the GLV , that button is just not positioned right for using a tank

  • @GrimmGreen THANKS GRIMM AND KEEP'EM COMING.

  • Hi grimm, its great to hear about the different tanks out on the market, but I haven't seen any reviews on the bombtank from bombbay vaping. Do you know anyone who has used this model of tank? Thanks again for your videos.

  • You should try the arry carto tank version 3, not made from polycarbonate so will not react with any juice and it all screws together so no leaking problems at all!! Arry also sells a carto punching tool that works really well.

  • Great video, I really fancy trying a tank setup in the future. I jlove dripping but a tank would be great for driving and in the office. Again great video Grimm.

  • First of all, thank you for making such awesome reviews. Always very detailed to give us a great idea of what to expect if we had it in our hands...I do have an off topic question for you though, have you ever tried or heard anything about the Innovapor' AVA atties? In theory they sound awesome, but before I spend $50 on a single atty I' wish I could get feedback from someone who has used them

  • Interesting; I got SmokTechs from MadVapes, and they just have ONE tiny hole, but seem to draw liquid just fine (60-70% VG, so pretty thick). But I did finally notice today that vaping it outside in the cold (below 30F...juice flows pretty slowly) did not work very well, so perhaps a touch with the Dremel will help.

    I'm going to try your filling method, too. I've noticed if you fill with the cap off, pushing it back on tends to force juice out the bottom of the carto. Makes a bit of a mess.

  • SORRY PG OR VG OR MIX FOR THE BEST VAPOR ON 5V?

  • @SMITTY19722 I like to use a 50/50 blend on most everything, or a 70pg 30vg

  • @GrimmGreen WOW, I TOLD MY WIFE THIS MORNING (HEY HONEY , GRIMMGREEN GOT BACK TO ME..LOL) THANK YOU. BUT WHAT IS A GOOD TANK FOR THE GLV-2 5V?

  • WHAT VAPES BETTER, PG OR PG, OR A MIX? ANY ANSWER WOULD BE HELPFUL.

  • It's about time someone did a detailed tank re-cap with actual useful info. Later Carto guy...

    -VST

  • @NicFitNation you're a carto guy

  • @GrimmGreen I was never a carto guy until those Kanger H-Coils came out a while back. I do think I would like to try a big tank next.

  • Grimm love your vids. But every site i go to the tanks are out of stock.

  • @williamh0280 That's what happens when Grimm does a product review on something; it sells out.

  • Grimm you forgot to try the VISION Stones from Gotvapes!!!111oneoneone

  • @antsandlions Ive been hearing that from a lot of people

  • @GrimmGreen So far it seems way better than my first tank carto which was a MAP tank, which was good, but I always got burning tastes or the draw was really airy or both... I loaded up some Rawr Vapor Truth Serum 50/50 in a Vision Stone tank and set my provari to 3.3v and wow... It's just... I mean I never could taste the coconut in this vape until I tried it on this anyway great review have a good one grimm

  • Also check the lil mama (and big daddy) tank from bigdaddyvapor. Their finish is excellent!

  • i know you said slot, BUT I REALLY REALLY HEARD SLUT! REALLY! other good review. TANKS! hehehe!

  • your cam goes into business for oneself relating exposure... can't you adjust it to a consistant setting?

  • It's a "Choose your own adventure" video! Man I love these things...I'll press 5 to stay and watch you fill the tank.

  • I've been using the 5ml tanks from VaporJunction. These use the flanged DCC's with a hole and I haven't had any wicking problems. The only thing I do is use a push pin to clear out the hole and they work great!

  • Why not to take a UFS? You can put any nice 510 there, like Cisco

  • Hey Grimm, I know you don't normally answer every comment you get but I just got a GLV-2 and everything to start vaping (noob) so what would be a good fitting tank to get for the GLV-2? Now take it easy on me, this is all new to me.

  • Happy new Year, Grimm.

    I tried some tanks, but I wasnt as pleased with them as I hoped for. Most of them are less then 5ml, which means they will not bring me over the whole day with one filling and most of them only work with one specific type of carto. Now I am running mine with the VapeMate from SuperT and thats definitively my style. works with any atty or carto with a 510 or 801 mouthpiece and can hold up to 30ml. lovin it.

    PS: My last video on Juice DIY was one hour long. =P

  • hey nick...." tanks".. for the info, bro! lol... I know, it aint easy bein cheezy!

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    I ROFLED so hard at 11:54

  • Hey Grimm, love the videos! I have been on the fence about getting a tank, love the idea but I'm worried about the draw with them. I use an Ego style mod for vaping 100% of the time right now, and without the cone on it, the draw is too airy and cool and I really don't care for it. Being that the tanks don't allow for anything in there to tighten up the draw, I've been reluctant to go for one. How is the draw on these?

  • You should try to get the the GotVapes VISION Stone 5ml Tank Mod 2.0-2.2ohms and review it. Just ordered mine 2 days ago. Can't wait to get it and try out my first tank!

  • Hey I forgot to say great tip on sliding the tank up and adding juice. I was taking the top off every time I wanted to fill. Much easier your way!

  • "Tanks" a lot for doing this video.

    Argh!

  • Hi Nick, once again a great review :)

    Just one word concerning the MC Tank: I'm a big fan of CE2 tanks (Map Tank, Clearo Tank, MC Tank), and I never really liked Cartomizers tanks.

    I have 2 MC Tanks, which come in fact from Italy, and they can be found on Mondosvapo's web site.

    They work really well, so well that I will order 2 more :)

  • For those not satisfied with the size / draw of the pre-punched hole on most tank cartomizers....head to Lowes (or check online) and buy the $7-$8 Saddle Valve. It's designed for plumbing but works great for popping holes in cartos with speed, consistency and safety! You just slip the carto in...twist the sides down to hold it secure...and turn the middle pin slowly and *boom*....done....pick up your driptip off the floor from rolling off the table...remove cat hair...continue to vape. hehehe!

  • I will add my 2 cents here as well! Tanks like these DO seem to extend the life and quality vape of a cartomizer! Altsmoke(dot)com recently started selling tanks. For about $12 you get a 6ml (which is pretty damn big) tank, a pre-punched dual-coil cartomizer AND a free drip tip. The only thing better than their awesome functionality is the fact they look amazing on any mod. With a big battery mod like a bombshell, mantis or silver bullet WITH a tank - you can't go wrong!

  • i heard yyou saying alot of times dual and single coil carto... whats the diference??

  • @gabrgr It's the number of heating coils in the carto. A dual coil will burn hotter and produce more vapor, but will also drain the battery faster.

  • @SUCKITHARD02 yeah , just cut or punch a bigger hole and you should be good to go

  • Good to hear you like the VPX tank, I seem to agree with all your videos so I should be happy with it. Still waiting for mine in the mail.

  • @woooozzaa oh cool , yeah works rad

  • i find that the smoktechs tend to leak a wee bit

  • @bigd18784 really? neither of mine have leaked yet

  • @GrimmGreen Yes i have noticed that it leaks slightly at the bottom seal. I'm going to swap it out for a new one the same size or try maybe a little bigger ring if i am still seeing a constant seeping from the seal.

    Other than that i do enjoy the carto-tank it is phenomenal. I just need to slice that opening somewhat, i agree with you about the drawing of e juice on the smoktech, I feel like i'm trying to get a garden hose to siphon water off the winter pool cover to get the thing to draw.

  • Tanks for the video.

  • @vtox101 My pleasure

  • great vid grimm

  • @fuzzynutts69 Thank you

  • Or sitting on a couch getting a bj vaping

  • @mezmaries yeah that too 

  • Or sitting on a couch getting a BJ baling

  • Your best tank review was the Reo Grande, FYI Nick! Made me go buy one and been learning from all your videos and I just wanted to thank you for everything! Happy New Years to you and The Vape Babe :D!!!

  • @MaxximumRage love the REO , thanks so much , glad to help out

  • Haha awesome video Nick! Really gonna have to consider getting one or two of these, cartos for me seem to only last though one 6-7ML bottle before they taste nasty... so maybe I can stretch my dollar further if I get some of these. Thanks for taking the time to inform us poor ignorant people. haha. Btw why would you cut a slut into the side?... just kidding man. Lol

  • @Zeybrin HAH!!! yeah dude, tanks.... tanks...

  • "I said slot" lol ... thanks. I have a question that may be longer than this box allows.

  • I have these really ingenious stick on level bubble things. I really think we need to level up your desk before everything you own, have ever owned, or will own rolls off that desk. All you need now is a meatball so you can sing that song dude! LOL Luv ya man!

  • @QCAssociates ha ha ha ha , i'll look into those fancy new bubble level things you speak of , thanks for watching buddy

  • I love dual coil cartos. Been blowing off trying tanks since they appeared on the market. Tomorrow I am absolutely ordering one. Great vid, as always. And as always, you provided unintended lolz. :)

  • @dbutman331 unintended lolz are the best right?

  • im not having much luck with the smoktech tank... slightly frustrating. you said you have 2 holes, are they just opposite each other?

    thanks for the knowledge greengrimmguy!

  • @cloud9vape yeah, two tiny little holes, they don't feed juice for nothing, cut a bigger hole and you should be good to go

  • @GrimmGreen HEY GRIM DO ME A FAVOR AND CLUE ME IN ON A GREAT TANK FOR THE GLV-2, ALL THIS STUFF IS NEW TO ME. I JUST GOT EVERYTHING AS FAR AS ATTY'S, CARTY'S ECT..ECT.. I'M CLUELESS WHEN IT COMES TO ALL THIS STUFF. ((((((HELP ME OUT BRO!!))))

  • @cloud9vape The smoketech one I have has a single hole that is fairly small. Although it is a pin hole I have been vaping Boba's Bounty 100% VG without any issues. The juice flows in fast enough to avoid dry hits for me atleast. It is the first smoketech carto I have tried though.

  • @cloud9vape

    yes, the two wholes are just on the opposite side of each other. if it's punctured, it's best to have 2 holes, and make them bigger. Even pure PG juice will have a hard time getting into that small hole. I just did that, and my 50/50 ejuice is working perfectly.

  • Arry carto tank for the win..

  • happy new years to you too :D i am at the c2 2 , flux's etc stage , i am getting ready to get my first that along with my first vv mod , i am such a noob , rocking egos at the moment and love them :D also the kgo which i also like.

  • @HanzoTh3Razor nothing wrong with rocking the egos, nothing at all

  • Thanks for the "quick" run down Nick :)

  • @jrose971 it's all relative I suppose... it's shorter than lord of the rings.... slightly

  • "I said slot"....LOL!

  • @Woodchuck1949 well i did! lol

  • @GrimmGreen Yes you did. I played it back again and it really is an "o" ;)

  • got a tank from altmoke and it was awful. really turned me off of tanks. i threw that thing out.

  • @FSUwestSOfresh Bummer

  • @GrimmGreen idk if it was user error( im assuming it was) but i filled it up like a carto then filled the tank about halfway.. got nothing but hot/gross tasting vapor.

  • @peedub20 if your going to make a comment, make sure you read it before you hit post....

  • @moodyrhoads ppl usually say toot when there talking about hitting a bowl so even though it sounds wierd it not gay by any meany

  • good job Nick lol

  • @skruff77 thanks friend :) 

  • when i got my lavatube i also ordered they're tank, the juice i put in it i'm not really liking it, can i just dump the juice and put in new stuff or i gotta thoroughly clean the tank?

  • @xforeverplay it will mix a little if you don't clean the tank, I like to take mine apart and clean them with hot water when switching flavors

  • Just got into the tank game with a j-tank! I'm loving it! Waiting on my m1a1 to come in from notcigs. Good info for people interested in getting a tank.

  • tank tank tanks to many tanks

  • i've had the smoketech tank about a week and it is a good tank and for the money a great value....just got the cartomater in mail today....saw your video and decided to see what you had to say before I vaped it. Looks like I'm going to be glad I got it.

    Thanks for the great videos as always Grimm and btw I don't think there is anything wrong with saying toot....toot on.

  • @jrpharr dude... toot is the only way to go 

  • Another great informative video! I've begun to ditch dripping all together. Tanks give such a satisfying vape. I would love for you to try an Odysseus or any other rebuild-able atty/tank to see how you like it. 

  • @jreign Yeah I have had my eye on a few of those types of rebuildable attys

  • why do you say toot ? REALLY ..... what about drag? toot sounds soooo gay .. just sayin ... like your reviews

  • @moodyrhoads sorry to offend you

  • @GrimmGreen just trying to help .. I will be here all week

  • great vid, the cartomator is great, and I have been using the MadVapes tanks without any issues for about a month now too.

  • @TheEcigStop nice, I love my tanks! 

  • Another Great Educational Video Grimm. I personally use the SS Dual Coil Tank by MAP, but you are correct, they perform the same job, some do it better than others and the Slash Method is also my Favorite for cutting cartos. I used to use a Syringe to fill mine until I also found the Slide down and squeeze method, Very Simple, very easy and my cartos last weeks if not months in these babies.

    Keep On Vaping Bro!

  • @DevonMoonshire Yeah the cartoz seem to have a MUCH longer life, i'm assuming it's because they are staying properly moist lol

  • Your the man Grimm

  • @dbarer01 no YOU are

  • Nice video, I am tanked!

  • @nciophunter way tanked 

  • "I drip a lot"... ROFLMAO!
