My new tanks

[Mr. P]

I got tired of dripping and refilling all the time and found it an inconvenience when I was out running around so I wanted something that would last me the better part of a day. After searching around a bit on here I come up with the following tanks.
View attachment 42324
Left to Right:
-Map tank from Clouds of Vapor, 3.2ohms, holds 5ml and uses an XL CE2.
-SSR from Good Prophets, 3.0 ohms, holds 4ml and uses a regular CE2.
-Torpedo tank from JonahM, 2.6 ohms, holds 5ml and uses an XL CE2.
-Torpedo Tank Mini from JonahM, 2.6 ohms, holds 2.5ml and uses a regular CE2
The ProVari is in there for size comparison.

Let me know the experiences that you have had with these.

The torpedo tanks look cooler

 

[Mr. P]

Yeah, the torpedo tanks are hand turned aluminum and they look sweet on top of a mod.

Hmm Very interesting Mr. P, I've been battling over which tank to get for a while and as nice as the MAP tanks are, I would like something a little smaller, especially as how COV has done away with the mini MAPs. How are the torpedo tanks treating you, and do you like the smaller one? I also own a Provari so I understand the amassed size!! ha ha. Thanks for the info, I think the torpedo may be the answer for me, glad I saw this post!

I have brushed mini Torpedo. No leak when turned horizontal, quality wery good and look awesome on top of ProVary

I like the GP-SSR for the simple fact that the CE2 is so easy to change out. You can also adjust the draw on it too.

Here is a list of Tank Systems!

Check the Hybrid Tank MOD link in the above thread for information on the tubing used on the MAP Tank. You can cut a piece of the tubing 29mm's and use it to convert your MAP tank into a mini MAP Tank.

The tubing is $1.73 per foot.

I like the idea of a tank for long road trips and such but I dunno.......... they're just so big.
I guess I have a Chuck, a GLV2 and I use my Buzz all the time so I shouldn't be concerned with looks but......
Hey, where do you get those Torpedos? Got a link?
Nevermind, I just PMed JonahNM.

 

[mistinthewoods]

Yeah, so I went ahead and ordered a 5 ml. Torpedo tank. I was concerned about the size but I went ahead and bought the biggest one in the OP's pic.
Yeah, I know, I rarely make sense.

It will look great and you will love it.

I'm using a 5ml polished Torpedo tank on a Chrome Omega.... and its simply beautiful looking... added to the fact that there are no leaks... and it vapes wonderfully

 

[mistinthewoods]

Well, that's reassuring. I was wondering how leakproof it was. I know I can't use it in the shop (I drop stuff a lot) but I think it'll be handy for driving and spending the day out on the lake and stuff.

It's in Tank Master List, so others know as well.

Thanks PKZap, found it and ordered one yesterday.

I own Map Tanks, Jonboyusmc's Tanks, VPX tanks, Stormy's Tanks and Torpedo Tanks. They all work well for me but the Torpedo Mini Tank is by far the best looking! Jonboy's are very well built, strong tanks but they are a bit too wide for my liking. MAP's and the VPX are identical. I don't find it difficult to cut an E2 carto and replace it and the newer E2's with the thick wick work great.

you could just buy a full size MAP tank and cut down the clear tube to make it a Mini MAP

 

[mistinthewoods]

All good to hear. I ordered a box of spare E2s as well. Are there instructions for replacing them or is it obvious?

 

[sierra22]

its obvious, pop it out with a small flat blade screwdriver, kinda hard to explain, but its easy, you'll figure it out

 

[mistinthewoods]

Got my Torpedo Tank today and a box of 2.5Ω-ish CE2s. The tank vapes real nice but I'm wondering about changing the CE2s. The ones Jonah sent me have to be taken out of the tube. Is there a technique for this? Sorry if I sound stupid but new things alway confound me until I do them once.

 

[Pete54]

You either need to get a small pipe cutter and cut them yourself or you can buy them already cut several places. Here's one place to get them pre-cut. 510 CE2 XL Pre-Cut Replacement Cartomizers
The biggest problem is getting the old one out of the Torpedo Tank. I nearly destroyed mine doing so! Jonah is working on a new bottom plug that will make it easier and has offered to replace existing plugs with the new design when available. Until then, enjoy the one that's already in there. I wash mine out between each refill and let them sit overnight to dry. Then I dry burn them 3 times for about 3-4 seconds bursts. They pretty well last for months doing this. In fact, I've never had one die. The wick eventually wears out!
For what it's worth, I prefer the 3.0-3.2Ω E2's and the revision 5 with the thick wick work much better. The E2 I received in my Torpedo Tank was an R4 with the looped thin wicks.
