I started with atomizers/carts as I liked the flavor and vapor production better than carto's. Then I moved to carto's as I got tired of refilling the carts. Then I moved to tanks. Now I'm a drip fan. When around the house I use an IKV IO6 atty and it's wonderful. Produces good flavor and vapor, doesn't flood and/or leak easily. Get a lot of vapes from 3 to 4 drops of e-liquid. Even my wife who was a died in the wool carto fan is now dripping 90% of the time.

Eh? What made you switch from tank to dripping? I thought that if you like dripping you would love a tank because it would be the same result without the fuss in the middle. (I'm still working on getting my AVS working for my GGTS so this is an untested hypothesis on my part ^_^)

I use ego mega dual coil cartomizers. I buy mine from madvapes when they come up on there Deal of the day screen, got the last ten at 2.30 a piece!!! They are made by smok . They have an easy draw and hold lots of juice. Great flavor and TH. For the price i am completely happy. I use 1000mah passthrough batteries from mikeusa.com and with my heavy heavy heavy vaping they never miss a beat. If there is anything better i would LOVE to try it!!!

There is a marriage for the emdcc's. It's a new 5v regulated mod. It's a tad bigger than an ego battery.. I got mine yesterday and its perfect with the emdcc's..BIG BIG VAPE!!! They will restock in about 2 weeks.. New! 5v Wow Mod
 
A good cartomizer in a good tank is a wonderful combination if you are at the point where you have a primary eliquid.

Im still searching for the best juice to make my primary and hopefully will never find it, I love the process of ordering and being excited waiting for your package to come, and then opening it and discovering all the wonderful different parts and flavors. It's like being a kid again on Christmas morning but every month!

Started on atty/carts that came with my kit, quickly went to carto's from recommendations here (prefer the DCC's over LR's), but now I'm jumping on the clearomizer bandwagon. Picked up a pack of the fluxomizer deluxes from gotvapes.com, and now I can't stand the fiberfill taste of the cartos. I have 4 Boge LR's left, and they'll probably stay in the drawer unless there's an emergency. One fluxomizer fill lasts half a day, and they're SO easy to clean and fill. AWESOME :)

I had enough of atty + carts the first month. The carts would suddenly dump 1/2 their juice in my mouth or on me, I always had to be careful how I laid my ecig down so the juice wouldn't leave the cartridge, and no matter how well I cleaned my atomizers they degraded anyway. I switched to cartomizers and never looked back. I can see a benefit to atomizer+carts (especially with easily cleanable stuffing like blue foam) while you are trying to find some favorite juices. But once you have favorite juices I don't see any good reason to use cartridges except maybe for a longer test of a new juice. My favorite thing about cartomizers is every time I start a new my ecig performs like brand new. And think that is something you may not appreciate until your first atomizers degrade.

I now use atomizers at home only and only on a sealed manual to drip new juices, drip some occasional vapes (2 of which are thicker than I will put in cartomizers). I use cartomizers for my everyday all day vaping.

Dual coil atomizers..no, I didn't say cartomizer...from cloudsofvapor.com are the only atomizers I'll vape with constantly. The others I have are for testing juice. These are on my Reo's.

Dual coil cartomizers and Boge 3.0ohm for the rest of my PV's.

I don't care for atomizers because I can taste the metal except for the dca's from COV. Those are the ONLY ones that I really like. Cartomizers are the way to go for me with a good tank...simplicity at it's finest.
