Do tanks keep cartos cleaner? and horizontal coiled cartos in a tank, can you?

[bassworm]

Just 2 quick questions, explained mostly in the topic.

I noticed that after 2 weeks of using the same carto in my lil mamma tank that the inside of the carto, polyfill , coils etc looked immaculately clean, so I was wondering if using the tanks actually help prolong the life of cartos , or maybe at least keep them cleaner.

I was looking at the Kanger horizontal coil cartos and was thinking they would be interesting to try out on a tank, but since they are horizontal and along the bottom of the carto instead of vertical through the center, would the coil flood out when in the tank?

I just started using a tank and love it for that reason. I was getting 4 days out of my Boge cartos before the taste went south. Now I'm getting 2 weeks or so. I think it will save me some serious bucks in the long run

I've been using the 510 Kangers w/ my tank b/c I wanted to test them out in a carto tank. I found they work great. No flooding issues with them at this point. I also find that since the coil is at the bottom you don't have to worry about getting a semi dry hit.

I have been using Kanger HC Cartos in my tank and they work great. Mine came with the flanged Dual Coils and I was not impressed. Like Beans said, I went from days of use to weeks of use on a single carto with no problems.

What it does is, it keeps the carto wet. You are not vaping it dry with a tank. This adds to their life.

Up until a few days ago I had only ever used horizontal coils in a tank. I use a go-go and their standard cartos are horizontal coil. A few days ago I had ordered some boge LR and made another tank to fit them, so that is the first time I've tried vertical coils in a tank. Both work fine. With the horizontal coils, you don't have to have all of the filler even wet though. Only the filler at the bottom of the carto has to be wet.

ETA: And yes. I do think it makes the cartos last longer since they are wet all the time.

I haven't tried the Kanger cartos, although I plan to.

I can echo what already has been said about carto lifespan: I seem to get better mileage, my guess is the higher consistency of moisture.

I second that
