I went from crappy CE4 > dripping in an old 510 atomizer > carto tanks. I've tried rebuildables and they were most definitely not for me. I have found pure vaping bliss in carto tanks. I'm on my fourth IBtank at the moment (well, three, as I accidentally dropped one onto concrete while running... I wanted to cry. It was like breaking up with a girlfriend.)
I have vaped on others setups many times at local vape meets and shops. A lot of people like piss poor vapes. It is amazing how many will vape on burning filler material and think it is great.
I am no newb when it comes to vaping and gear. I have been around since all that was available was cigalikes, and have tried most everything since. It isn't like filling a carto is rocket science. Only so many ways to fill one.... dripping, condom, syringe till they are pouring juice out and the vape sucks.
I do not have the time to play around with braiding wire and building dragon coils and leaky clearos. Spend most of my time out of the basement enjoying life with my tank. Love those "glass half empty types" LOL. Enjoy the day!
So because some like to tinker you think RDA/RDB is all about tinkering? Not so but believe what you want.
Personal Jab noted, too bad you missed....

I started with an ecab and then I got to try an evod. Loved it! Curiosity got to me and a B&M set up a carto for me with my Mt Baker Red Licorice. That was heaven! I have 3 tanks going with candy, bakery, and sour flavors. I use them all every day. My cartos have given me over 2 weeks of use. I'm very happy that I tried cartos. Now I need to stock up on them.
Still Using?? I just started using one today after having been the Clearo, Iclear 30, Protank 2, Dripper, RBA (Kayfun, Fogger), Genesis route. I blame it all on Baditude but honestly at this moment I'm loving it!!
I always like this post it is every thread. I guess yea 4 pages of people like sub standard vape.
Did ya ever think its you or your doing something wrong?
I never understood how anyone could be satisfied by a carto in or out of a tank. Had to take long draws to get little vapor, flavor almost completely muted except for the dirty sock flavor of the filler. Keep upping the power trying to get a decent vape it would burn the filler. Why anybody is using carto's today is even more of a mystery. With Clearo's that are leaps and bounds better and no fiddle means they are perfect for newbies. Then you have rebuildable tanks like Kayfun's, carto's need to go to the grave yard. They sucked then, they suck now, and will suck in the future. A 510 atty with blue foam in the cart was a better vape and that is from the early day's of e-cigs.
With that said... if a piss poor vape keeps you off the analogs that is all that matters
Just had to come in here and make yourself feel all superior eh?
I've been around a while too. Tried lots of devices, top coil clearos, bottom coil clearos, atty with cartridge, ego tank atty, genesis rba, cartos, and even one RDA...
Sure, when the stars all alighn, a good head on a good bcc -can- equal the overall performance that a good carto -consistently- delivers. However, with the vivi nova, a vivi nova clone type FCC, protanks, and evods, all I ever did was fiddle. Condensation, gurgling, leaking, and dry hits. Sometimes all in less than an hour. Get it working right, and it is about equal to my ikenvape lr in a 22mm xl Ibtanked.
If that's a piss poor vape, then I suggest maybe you should go spend some quality time with Goodnews! The two of you can sit around vaping whatever makes you happy and complain about how the rest of the world is doin it wrong.
FWIW GoodNews! left the vape shop the other day with 2 Carto's that the vendor employee sold him. However that only lasted a few minutes then he was back to his never ending quest to determine what the second shooter on the grassy knoll was vaping.
I've just started using cartotanks and so far like them! Got tired of all the fiddling with various clearos, although still have some (well, lots of them!) Don't think I'll get into the building aspect of all this. Of course, I started out the whole journey just wanting to quit smoking and had no intention whatsoever of becoming a vaper!!

I'd like to order a poster of you for my wall. I'll put ya right next to Elvis! I have all kinds of good stuff...including carto tanks. Different? Yes. Piss poor? Absolutely not...but you have to do it right. Try tilting your clearomizer.
More personal jabs Nice
I don't feel superior to anyone. I shared my experience and then the personal attacks came flying my way. Maybe you shouldn't have taken my experience personal ?

Maybe you shouldn't have accused everyone who still uses carto's of not knowing a decent vape. Your idea of sharing your experience sure comes off as a condescending statement against all carto users!
In case you suffer from the same ailment as GN and can't remember what you just said-

It is hilarious to see people get all worked up just because I have a different opinion. You may think you are making me look like a fool but you are wrong. Personal attacks are negatively reflected upon those doing them.
I don't use cleromizers either but they are a superior vape to carto's. I use kayfuns and RDA's.
I know exactly what I said. Nothing personal about it. It is my opinion which is quite different from the attacks coming my way.
I use cartotanks 70% of the time, stand alone carto's 15% of the time and clearotanks the rest of the time. I find a consistancy in performance, flavor and vapor production. The thing for me is the plug and play aspect of cartotanks. A few extra minutes of set up time equal days/weeks of trouble free vaping!
