Sorry this is a long one: I decided to stop into Volcanos Cafe/shop in Honolulu. They have come a long way with their products. They sell the 'Inferno' which is an ego type battery. Not to mention the ' Lava Tube'--very sleek looking device, For me however, a bit to big. Then again, I already have a couple VV mods that work well for me. But, what caught my attention was the 'Tube Tank'. I know, Tank mods have been around for a while, but I am slow to change. plus, I am very visual and tactile. Seeing the Tube Tank hooked up to their inferno model and the ability to put it on my ego batteries without looking too weird and cumbersome....I was sold. I have never been able to make cartomizers work well for me and I always go back to dripping. (The center portion of the Tube tank is a cartomizer). Tried the Ego tank and 510 tank systems-worked well for about a week(or less), Then lost too much flavor and vapor. again, went back to dripping. (dripping into the 510 tank atomizers works great), Then There is The Tube Tank...been using it for about 4 days and I am still in love. hold 3-4mls of liquid. Tube Tank does require priming the center cartomizer before first use and then filling the Tank portion with flavor of choice. When needed, just change out the center cartomizer piece..The outer Tank piece can be used indefinitely. Great Flavor and Great Vapor--very consistent over the last 4 days. Equivalent to dripping...and for me that is huge. No leakage (unlike dripping) and no liquid in my mouth (dripping side effect). When using my vv-My sweet spot is 4.7-5V. The Tube Tank + My ego battery = similar to vaping at 4.7-5V. Perfect for driving. I have actually found I vape a bit less when using the Tube Tank....feel more satisfied. When using the Tube Tank on their Inferno or the Ego, There is an optional component...'Tube Sock'-a metal insert that fits between the battery and the Tube Tank to give a more flush look. The Tube Sock fits a bit loose on the ego--fixed with a small o ring (which is already in place on the inferno). Overall, I am pretty impressed with the Tube Tank and the ability to use on my existing batteries without looking awkward. Yes, I am appearance driven. (at least in public) The Cafe/Shop was great, the staff very helpful. able to tryout the equipment and flavors. Plus, have really good coffee !!! I may have found a new vaping sweet spot device setup. The only draw back at this point (vs dripping) is inability to easily change flavors--guess I will have to buy a couple more.... They also have shops/cafe in Washington and North Carolina. plus have some mall kiosks- West Virginal, South Carolina and Tracy-California. *Pic1- Inferno with the Tube tank attached.

Thanks for letting me Ramble !! Happy Vaping
