Folks.........the ideas just seem to keep coming to me. This morning I've been adding a few things to the blog. As you see, there are now a few more tabs for you to click on. Vendor Spotlight, E-Liquid Review, Hardware Review (content to be added soon) and CONTESTS (Coming Soon)!!!!
These tabs will take you to the latest Spotlight or Review written by the "UN-dead" Blogger. There is also a link provided on the page that will re-direct you to another section of the blog where you can review prior entries for that section/general topic.
I'm trying to make The Vaping Dead as quick and easy to get information as possible without cluttering the pages with things at random. I'm hoping this layout will help with that and that YOU, the reader, will also find it to be as useful, easy and informative as I have.
Feel free to leave comments, questions or suggestions. Maybe......JUST MAYBE.........the "UN-dead" Blogger will agree with you and you will see the changes YOU want, here at The Vaping Dead!!!
Happy Vaping!!!!

Cart Tech and Tanks
Today, I wanna highlight the usefulness of Carto Tanks. For those that use them, you know what I'm talking about when I say "game changer".............and for those that don't, pay attention.
I started Vaping years ago. Back when "pen styles" ruled and "Mods" were garage made contraptions. The scene was always trying to find better and more efficient ways of delivering a "high quality" vape and also trying to find ways to keep from having to refill your cart every 10 puffs.
The first "Cart Mods" were crude attempts at slowly wicking the liquid to the atomizer. Some ideas included springs, different types of filler materials and one inventive modder even devised the "PTB" method (Pyramid Tea Bag for those that don't know). All of these steps forward were advancement. Slow........but still advancement forward.
Eventually, technology moved forward by way of Clearomizers and Tanks. Clearo's are a great (top or bottom) wicking atomizer that can be filled with liquid and vaped. One of the downsides is that wicks can be slow to absorb and wick fluid to the coil, causing that nasty BURNT taste we vapers hate so much. With some practice, though, Clearo's can be a great addition to your supplies and a quick way to keep multiple flavored juices while you are on the go.
Tanks, on the other hand, are a WONDERFUL move forward, in this "UN-dead" bloggers grey, lifeless eyes. Tanks provide the convenience of a Clearo without the poor wicking. Once primed the carto will stay moist with liquid and prevent that awful burnt taste and they wick liquid so much better than Clearo's. There IS the occasional flooding/leakage but the learning curve to curb this mishap isn't very steep. Once you learn your way..........you are on your way to a much happier, much more pleasing vaping experience.
I use a tank every day. I still use Clearo's every once in a while and I still have a few "drip atomizers" for flavor sampling and such, but for an all day/every day vaping venture..........I choose TANKS.
One that I recommend and personally use is this tank from Smok, and am pleased to say, I LOVE IT. It is a standard Carto Tank system in that it is made of a clear tube, 2 ordinary aluminum chromed caps, and uses a 510 threaded single, dual or triple punched Carto..........but Smok added a third threaded bottom cap for locking the tube/cartomizer in place, preventing the tank from sliding up and off the carto. WONDERFUL!!!
I highly recommend that users give a Catro Tank a try. I promise, once you learn what you're doing, you'll fall in love with them too.
I purchased my Smok 6ml DCT (Dual Coil Tank) at D&M Vapes. You can check their website (http://www.dandmvapes.com/) for prices and a great selection of vaping products, or in person at their B&M Store in Archdale, NC.
I hope you've enjoyed this brief look at and background of Cart Mods and the innovations in Cart technology.
The Vaping Dead hopes you are having a great time here and remember................
