Which Tank System?

[bikertj1981]

I'm using the basic Tornado Atty at the moment but have seen the new arrivals (Dual Coil Tank and Ego-C) and am undecided which would be best for me?

If it helps I vap about 3ml daily and always menthol. Which should i choose? Or is there something else you could suggest? Definatly think it has to have a tank - fed up with filling cartridge so often.

Any help would be great thanks

If I was you I'd get the 6ml duel coil tank or 3ml if you want it to match the size of the battery better. These are perfect for one flavor and hold lots. Not to mention the atomizer is great! I'm using a duel coil with menthol in it righ now. It's all I use for menthol now.

I have not tried the dual coail tanks yet so I cant say anything about them.
The C I just love. Great flavour and vapour. just work from scratch, no breaking in.
For me it has never been giving me a burnt taste except when running dry.
If that happens just to refill and the burnt taste disapears. With most attys it doesnt always.
It is changeable with very cheap atty heads, just 4 pounds each.
I have one that is about 9 weeks now, and still going strong.
Hope this help in some ways

Hi bikerTJ and welcome to the forum 
Congratulations on your choice of Tornado, it's a great workhorse with a lot of choices of atty/clearo/carto or tank all compatible.
It's difficult to suggest an answer to your question because everybody has different preferences and really, you won't know which you like best until you try each option for yourself....
Rtsjr likes the new dual coil tank best, I like the eGo-C best, for simplicity, reliability, great flavour and vape and trouble-free maintenance....
so no help there!
What I would suggest is that you look at all the reviews you can find for each...the dual coil is so new that it's an unknown quantity in the longer term...reviews will be turning up thick and fast before long.
In a month's time, the base and cone assembly for the -C will be available separately from the kits, so if you choose that you won't need the greater expense of the whole kit.
Eeeny, meeny miney, mo....
lol, let us know what you decide, I'll start taking the bets now...
*edit, knoton votes -C, I'll be updating the odds shortly after the next few replies...lol

Like a lot of us that has been vaping for a while we started out like you have and started looking at the new and shiny. It depends on how much vaping you do and if you switch flavors. I have Tornado Tank attys, ego-c attys, CE3 carts, SDmkII, and an e-pipe. And I may switch from one to another during the day depending on my mood or if I want to switch flavors. The ego-c is a great product but if you vape 3+mil a day you may want to go with the Dual Coil Tank or Tornado with a CE type cart.  For simplicity I would go with the ego-C.

It was only a matter of time before the Ego-C versus Tornado DC LR Tank battle would begin lol. Both systems have pros and cons.The Ego-C and DC LR Tank systems are easy to use and now thanks to TW they both look very sleek and nice.

Price wise the Ego-C is less expensive for replacing the atty and produces less waste due to the small size. The attys for me lasted around 2 weeks producing at optimum vapor quality. The vapor production from it's standard resistance is pretty good; but for me the flavor and throat hit were less then what I like in a vape. That's not to say it was all around bad as vaping is highly subjective and what I like others may not. The Ego-C has a longer life from the battery then the DC LR Tank offers. Changing the attys is very straightforward and easy without much of a mess.

The DC LR Tank is a little more expensive for replacing the cartos and each carto will only produce at optimum for around a week maybe two in my experience. The flavor from the DC LR Tank is very full bodied even at 10-15% flavor concentration which is one of the two things I love about this setup. My other favorite thing is the throat hit that it gives with fluid as far down as 14mg. As stated above the battery life doesn't seem to be as high which is to be expected from any LR device. Changing the cartos is easy and not really any more of a mess to do then the Ego-C.

Like I said both systems have pros and cons, with some of them being on a subjective level. In the end it comes down to the likes and dislikes of the user. If you like LR then the DC LR Tank may be a better choice. If LR isn't your thing then the Ego-C may better suit your tastes. Hope this helps make the decision a little easier.

I don't like duel coils better. I like them both the same. I was simply going by what he said he vapes per day. 3ml and 1 flavor. Sounds like the 3ml tank would fit those needs more than perfectly. You can put it right on your tornado battery no fuss at all.
Some main differences are...
The eGo-C makes slightly more vapor and holds 1ml
The duel coil tanks have a better TH and hold 3ml
Both deliver serious vapes

Two weeks on an ego-C atty? I'm almost to 8 weeks on my first one 

[Knoton]

As stated already, I dont think anyone of us can tell you what choice to make.
All we can do is telling you what our preferences are and how we might find the different systems
from our point of view.
I have seen to many post about one product and how much they love it. When I look a little bit down
and i find another post of the same product and how they dislike it.
So in the end you gotta try both system to find out about your likings  

I mean just look at this thread.
One thinks C has muted flavour, I think the C flavour is the best there is...
One thinks C only work 2 weeks, I claim I have one that have worked 9 weeks...
One state one product gives good throat hit, I would say it gives me a harsh throat...

I know I am not making choice easier  

[RichJr]

I'll clear that up, the C has much better flavor than the old T but still isn't the cleanest vape that's why it's not called muted anymore for a tank system. A good throat hit is a harsh throat hit to ones that like it.
I only chime in with facts although I've been wrong my share of times, Just here to help.
I'm also on 6 weeks with my C atty.....

[bikertj1981]

Thanks you have all been a great help!

I'm leaning towards the DCT because of the tank size - less faffing when i'm busy as work!

Will wait till i've got less working attys left - still got 7 working at the mo.

Also want to see how the DCT fair over time as they are still new

Once again Thanks

Tracey

Your very welcome. Good luck in your choices.

Yep two weeks was average for me when I tried it. After 2 weeks it just didn't hit the spot anymore; which is why I said performs at optimum for two weeks. I cleaned them nightly and never had an accidental pocket firing.

how so?

5 ego c atties £20, ie £4 ea

The DC tankuses a carto which is £2.99 that's75% of the cost of Ego-C atties.

I have got into the habit over blasting my C atty with a steam cleaner once a week, this seems to put them back to an almost new performance.....I leave the atty in the cone and use a small portable steam cleaner and fire the jet of steam though each end for about a minute each....

Works a treat for me...only killed my first atty by taking it apart and wrecking the coil....bit stupid really as it was still working fine....

Anyway, I just ordered some discounted DV premixes and was very tempted to add a new DC tank to the order......but as I am so happy with the C I eventually decided to give it a miss.......I am trying to simplify my Vaping....but it's so difficult with all this tempting shiney stuff.......

Ya good catch on the prices.
Also if your C atty is only getting two weeks of good vapes then your doing something wrong or you vape 24/7 very heavily.
I vape about 2ml a day, usually a bit more after work especially through my "C"
1ml+ through my "C" and 1ml through my "DC" daily. I also use a booster an as we all know it reduces atomizer life also. I've had this one head going since the first week of December always boosted and haven't even cleaned the head.... About 60ml through it so far! I just blow out old juice to change flavors maybe rinsing the cone only. Amazing piece of equipment.

[bikertj1981]

I did decide to go for the DCT, hust arrived this morning. Works well, thought it would produce more vapour due the reviews but having said that even with less vapour there is still a really good taste. I'm also vaping less - only needing to take a few puffs before i'm satisfied.

So far a good buy but will have to see how it performs in the long run - longevity etc.

It did come with a silicon disc which i assumed just goes into the top of the cartomiser once filled as that is what i noticed from looking at how to fill other carts. Can carts be cleaned or do you just use them till they die?

Thanks again

Tracey
