With the way my current tanks/attys have been behaving I shudder at the thought. It just seems to drain all the tank into the atty if left connected when not in use. 1ml of liquid is enough to waste never mind more  |

Mega Tanks would be nice. In the meantime I'm looking very forward to the LR Tanks. Has it been announced when we can expect the LRs? All I've been hearing is that they're on their way but haven't heard when.

If the coils on the LRs behave as their higher-R brethren do, slowly climb in resistance, the LRs may end up having a longer life-time although as the saying goes, "A candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long.", but who knows.
I'd actually like an "HR" version at about 2.6 ohms as that seems to be the sweet-spot for me with the current tankys during their useful lifetimes.
A mega-tank would be cool though too.

I'd actually like an HR Tank as well. I use a VV (variable voltage) device and it only goes down to 3.7V. The SR tanks are still a bit hot for me at 3.7V when fresh out of the box, though they dial in nicely around 4V after they get some mileage on them.

It just seems to drain all the tank into the atty if left connected when not in use. 1ml of liquid is enough to waste never mind more Are you having this problem with more than one atty? I've had a couple of leakers, but I think one was operator error and one was an atty problem. I have 8-10 Tank rigs I use on a daily basis. I never remove the cart unless I'm checking the level or filling it. At night I leave them wherever. Most laying on their side, a few are usually in a carrying case, and a few are usually left standing on end (cart end up). No problems. I'm even mixing my juice a lot thinner then I used to and I'm still not seeing any problems. Just wondering if maybe you've got one bad (leaking) atty or cart.  |

Turns out the reason my tanks were draining themselves was the wick had dropped out of the spike. Causing the liquid to be able to just flow out into the atty. Took them apart, cleaned them out, rebuilt and now are working fine again, for now |

Just put one of my old tanks on at 4.2v and it vapes great tryed one at 5.9v earlyer by accident that wasnt pleasent I tried one of my tank atomizers at 5V when it was still pretty fresh and it immediately went to a burnt taste. I thought I killed it, but if I knew then what I know now, I could have refreshed it with a cleaning. Oh well, live and learn. |

Not that I use them that much but has anyone done a video on taking these things apart and cleaning them? I learn much better by sight then trying to figure out what I'm reading |

Not much too it, just pop out the spike plate. There's a couple ways to do it. You can either pry it out at the slots with a screwdriver or stick a jewelers screwdriver down the spike and wiggle it out. However, the wick can get mangled doing that so I prefer to pry the plate out by the slots. To replace the spike plate, you can either start it back in with a cartridge and then press it in the rest of the way a litttle on each side at a time with a screwdriver or use a nut driver to to line it up and push it in.

Not dumb,just new prolly LR-low resistance to simulate hi volt vaping with a 3.7v battery(drip only,carts usually don't wick fast enough to keep the atty wet) HR-high resistance to cool down 6v+ vaping and keep from frying atty's at high voltage. SR-standard resistance good all around vape at3.2-5v with out burning up,over 4.5v should probably drip. |

So back to the orignal topic . With the way my current tanks/attys have been behaving I shudder at the thought. It just seems to drain all the tank into the atty if left connected when not in use. 1ml of liquid is enough to waste never mind more Using the same mega atty with tank insides. It would increase tank capacity and the stamp for the atty would stay the same, just a internal redesign. Increasing the the base plate would do it and the needle size could stay the same. other thoughts on this idea? |

Hi magoo. Sounds about right. I suggested this in another thread a while back. The whole thing could have roughly the same physical dimensions and liquid capacity as the Mega Tornado atty/carts. As you point out it shouldn't take much. I have a couple of Mega carts and attys I vaped from time to time (before I switched to the Tank) with a Mega Tornado battery. Kinda like smoking a cigar. |
