does anyone make a carto tank that won't slip off with a tug or get hung up on a pocket?
sturdy carto tank?

smoktek and other manufacturers make locking carto-tanks, but you won't find many carto-users using them. I personally can't stand them. They're made of polycarbonate last time I was always around people using them, so they will crack with certain juices, like cinnamon and citrusy flavors.
I mainly use DCT polypropylene smoktek tanks. I haven't had a tank slip on me. My girlfriend pulled my tank off one time. I'm pretty mindful that there is a possibility of it getting pulled off. A good o-ring on your drip tip should hold the tank down enough when it gets pulled on a bit. My PV actually made its first debut of hitting the driveway last night. If I had one of my pyrex tanks on it, I would be picking up more than just a single object.
If you have a battery or PV that has ego threads, you need a skirt/collar or beauty ring. It will keep the gap closed to help prevent getting caught on something.

The AGR+ is a locking, pyrex tank. Heavy as lead and have a funky filling method. Good luck and have fun!

I have been using these for a few months now and they keep a death grip on both smok and boge cartos. I can take my vamo with an 18650 in it and shake it fairly violently and the tank doesn't slip at all. They have also survived several drops onto concrete that I thought for sure would have broken the glass tank, one was about a 5 foot drop off of a work table in the garage. They are amazing for the price, only problem I have with them is the fixed end caps. I originally bought them as an intro into carto tanks and never really felt the need to upgrade.

I love the Smoktech pyrex DCT (style you linked to). It is not a locking tank though. Uses flanged cartos, which is really nice for putting on and tanking off. Good luck and have fun!
I use a UDCT on occasion. With the locking ring the carto isn't going anywhere. My only complaint is that it's a poly tank, but I just make sure not to put tank cracking juice in it...

I have a sidewinder carto tank from valley view vapes and it was an excellent tank when i used to use cartos all the time...never had problems with it and it was veryyy thick glass, has a side fill hole in the glass too that never leaked and made an awesome way to fill the carto with juice if i pulled it out slightly...lots of colors and options...
I personally LOVE the Artemas/UDCT tank. I have both the Smok DCT and the UDCT tanks.

Hope this helps a little!

If Smok either adds a locking collar to their Pyrex line or adds a Pyrex option to their locking tanks, I would probably rotate out my existing Pyrex tanks to either (especially if they keep the pricing in the existing range).
For some, the Smok's biggest drawback is that their endcaps (and as a result, their o-rings) are permanently fixed to the tank. If they were more costly, I would find that combination to be a deal-killer.
Sooner or later, as the various features and consumer demand settle out, I suspect that someone will be making a "more perfect carto-tank" with all of the optimal features and offer it at a price point that makes everyone happy. Until then, I'm settling for "almost, but not quite right" for me.
I like my AGR, but no pyrex. I'm afraid of tanks that don't lock.
It is cheap. Besides the poly tank, my only misgiving is that it has a tendency to flood when you fill it via the fill port. I typically remove the fill screw and then the whole top and fill it that way. It seems to prevent it from flooding.

I agree! I have a mixture of vivi nova tanks, Aro tanks, and DCT tanks that I rotate, so I don't wear one down too quickly. I've found that by doing this, I extend the life of not only my tanks, but my taste buds as well. I'm always giving them something different to make things interesting. But that's just me.
I am going to add the AGR to my inventory in the next few weeks. Would you say it is worth it?
thanks for all the help. I'll try the agr and I found an x8 that also looks like it'll work we'll.
