sub and mini sub. I have 4. Carto doesn't easily move around, doesn't flood, easy to fill. Only issue is you have to use a syringe or similar tip to fill.

Glass tanks are better than plastic. Here's a glass tank for $15
Triple V Pyrex 7ml Tank
Then there's this place. It sells just the tanks, but they have stainless steel end caps. They also sell the tubing seperate from the end caps, so don't forget that.

The Fuel Tank by Electronicstix is delrin and won't crack with sours/cinnamon juices. It won't break, won't leak and is light in weight. The 3ml and 5ml tanks are both under $30.

I can recommend the Triple V pyrex tubes that Kay mentioned. The $15 version gets you the silicone grommets instead of endcaps. To fill with juice you will need to use a blunt needle/syringe and have a dental tool to readjust the grommet.
These are huge capacity tanks to be pyrex - 4 and 7 ml. These were my first pyrex tanks; a great way to get a start with glass tanks. These are among my favorite tanks, and I own both Bella and Phiniacs.
For $17 more you get black delrin endcaps, $20 more you get aluminum endcaps. I love these tanks with the recommended endcaps. I did a review of these in the tank review section.

If you don't want to use glass, I'd recommend polypropylene tube tanks (I dislike anything polycarbonate). The Smoktech Pro DCT tanks are the ones I started out with, and I can recommend them for you to try. Polypropylene is syringe-type plastic, so is safe for all e-liquids. These are frosted tubes, and available in clear and colors. $21 in 3.5 and 6 ml size. I got mine here:

The vendor sells single-punched DCT cartos, both single and dual coils in multiple resistances, $10 for 5 pack. Smoktech DCTank
I highly recommend that you get a tank filling tool. It will protect your tank's endcap o-rings from the sharp edge of the carto when you slide it through them, probably protects against leaking tanks. Also keeps juice from getting into the center air hole of the carto when refilling your tank. May seem expensive, but is a very practical expense, and you will thank me later. Available in stainless steel and a cheaper delrin version.

Probably because they're the most used tank, there'll be more threads about problems. I've used them for 6 months without issue, fantastic value IMHO.
21.00 for a smoketech DCT? I have never heard of a "pro" before, it looks like a normal smoketech $10.00 metal cap tank, with a $2.00 stainless steel drip tip added to it.
For 21.00 you can get a Vivi Nova w/ a full aluminum body and a few extra heads which vapes like a dream.
All the tank below come with a pre punched Smoktech cartomizer and a drip tip.
This is a Smoktech metal DCT slim 3.5ml for 7.95 - Shipped Free

My guess is the "pro" stands for polypropylene, identifying it as the new version of Smoktech tanks now using the better grade of plastic as opposed to the older polycarbonate versions, which unfortunately are still being sold. You can tell the difference visually as the polycarbonate tube is clear, where the polypropylene has the frosted appearance.
The MVS Smoktech DCT Pro kit may very well be the vendor's own kit, but it is a high value purchase. It includes a 5 pk of prepunched cartos valued at $10.50 and a chrome whistle tip valued at $3.50, so ok, $7 for the tank itself. In addition, the vendor confirms the tubing is polypropylene, which is an increasingly important factor to vapors who have had tubes crack or even melt from certain e-liquids. They also offer a wide selection of colors in addition to just the clear, which to many tank collectors, is important. Not a bad deal at all.
