Well, I am only a few weeks older than you in the vaping world, but I will try, at least I will share my experience.
I'm not sure, but I am guessing that is the Ego T size that you are talking about. Many people here don't like the tanks on those because they tend to leak. I have not had leaking issues, but I am a chain vaper and I tend to burn the attys pretty quickly. I tried all the methods posted here and on youtube to clean them but once they were burnt I could not get rid of that taste.
Like you, my next step was boge cartos. They work great, but again with the chain vaping, I am having to top them off way too frequently to make me an uber happy vaper. Still a happy vaper, just not uber happy. I think I have also seen mentioned that a lot of folks prefer the flavor from cartos than from tank/atty combos.
Further (limited) experience- I tried the Smoktech 510 Dual Coil Mega Cartomizer and I am not very happy with it all all. They leak like crazy on me, and don't really last that much longer than the boges.
If the boges still aren't really doing it for you when you get them, check out this thread... http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/atomizer-cartomizer-tank-discussion/258949-tank-my-future.html#post5049573. There are some links to some interesting new products that are going to be my next purchase, as soon as they get some back in stock.

Cartos in my opinion are way better on not leaking. I have used cartos atty's and tanks and by far cartos have less issues of leaking. Also drip tips can be used for both cartos and atty's but their main purpose is for atty's so you can drip through them. Boge cartos have a soft white plastic tip that can be taking out to fill then replaced and vape or can use a 510 drip tip.
Tanks can leak but no where near as bad as atty's.
I use atty's when I don't want to be stuck with one flavor all day though mixing flavors is not the best but I still do it just fruity juices.
You find a flavor you love I would go to a cart. They can vape for hours on one filling.
Tanks depending on what size you have they can vary from 1 mil to 6 mils maybe more. So they can vape for a couple days depending on how much you vape of course.
so the real difference that i have noticed is that atty's are for dripping and only last around 5 drags. cartos can get 10 times that amount. Tanks can tanks damn near a whole bottle of juice.
i think you have the the ego-t clone which I have not tried but heard they are not the greatest vape in the world but still do the job. I would recommend watching GrimmGreenIndustries (website with news) or GrimmGreen's Channel - YouTube (his Youtube channel)he has a lot of videos explaining stuff to noobs as I was once before and still learning stuff as I go.
I f any more questions let me know.

Thank you on3fifth!
This is the kit I got, Mind you i did not pay $80 for it though. They sell it for $60 @ their store.
I actually like the atomizer w/ a 1mil tank. The only carto experience i have is w/ these And I think they are kinda shatty, or a little overloaded, as I kept getting drips of the juice through the bottom rubber stopper.
I have 5 Boge cartos, 3 KBV juices, 5 XL510 tanks, and a eletricstix keychain PV all in the mail on their way to me.
I think I should be able to figure out how this all works, and what I prefer.
I kinda like the MODS, but prefer less bulk in my pockets.
Glad I could help at all. Yeah it is all really based on opinions what people prefer. I have 3 friends that vape and one swears by cartos @ 6 volts I have settled in at LR Boge cartos at 3.7 volts and found myself very happy.
So you are using a cartridge? if you are I would say you will LOVE a cartomizer. Boge is the only way to go in my opinion.
I do own the Silver Bullet and it is my everyday vape BUT I keep a ego battery with me just in case of me misjudging my battery life. there is mods out there that are smaller and do a lot but for you starting out don't worry about it until you think you want to try out higher voltages. High voltages will give more vapor and depending on juice a better throat hit. If you think you might want a higher voltage try a LR atty or cartomizer as they simulate 5 volts and give more vapor note they use more juice by a small amount too.
I hope I was not too confusing.

No cartridges.
When the lady and I bough or PVs, the lady was showing us how they worked. She popped a cartridge off a 501 to reveal a plastic container w/ foam in it that you drip the juice on.
I did not like that concept, so little lady asked if we had seen "tank cartridges" and procedeed to show us 1mil resiviours that snap into a different type of atty, and put the juice in direct contact w/ the atimizer.
I liked that, so she upgraded us both to tank atimizers and 5 1mil tanks each.
yesterday i picked up a pack of their cartos to try out. All that taught me is that i should wait for the Boges.
Now, w/ all this voltage stuff you guru's seem so animate about.
I thought that due to my 510 batts only being 180 mah that i should only use standard resistance cartos and attys? or is that strictly related to the battery's Voltage (a single cell 3.7v being too low)?
I was planning on waiting awhile and getting a larger batt (700-900mah) and trying out a LR carto and atty.

AHHHH I get it now.
HAHA yeah boges are the best.
You can use a low resistance atty/carto on that battery (might drain your battery quicker) it just simulates 5 volts.
I have a 650 mah battery and all I use is LR attys. I notice that the battery drains quicker but I get far more vapor.
On big battery mods running at 6 volts do NOT use a LR atty/carto since there is no point of running a LR atty/carto since it is a true 6 volts.(Not Simulated 5 volts)
All the small battery e-cigs are 3.7 so running a LR makes it feel like you are running at a higher voltage.
It gets damned complicated with ohms and voltages. The point I am trying to make is that you can run LR attys with no issues and you get more vapor better throat hit.
Really LR attys/cartos is a true way to know if you want to jump ship to a big battery mod since they can run at multiple voltages. 3.7-7.4 volts.
I am rambling now and am very sorry.

I saw those little tank cartridges back awhile ago. There are some here that use them and like them. Most here use boge or smoktech cartomizers. I like mine in a chibi tank.
Well no, I wouldn't use LR stuff on that small battery. LR will run it down, and shorten it's life considerably. LR stuff is designed to be used with 450mah and larger batteries. I use LR cartos with my eGo, but my batteries range from 650mah to 1100mah.
That is good to know I have only used the 650 mah egos thanks for the info. Sorry to mis-inform.
No worries! Miss info is better than no info because it starts the research.
but w/ my 180mah and 300mah batts, no LR for me.
LOL I am currently a fan of the small little 510's, because i can keep 3 batts, tanks, and cartos in my pocket, and it takes up less space than a pack of smokes.
As soon as they arrive, i will have 3 KBV flavors, + a tobacco flavor. So I can have 3 lil vapo's w/ different flavors in my pocket. (Bob likes options)
Once the lady gets over all the stuff i have currently bought, I will look into a nice large batt or a MOD to try out some high voltage, low resistance greatness!

I like Boge 2.0 ohm cartos and use mostly 100% pg juices. Cartos like thinner juice. All VG juices will shorten the useful life of a standard carto vs PG juices, but you can use 70pg/30vg mixes with good results. Cartos don't leak in my pocket. That's a plus.
You need a 650mah or higher battery to get any kind of charge life with a LR carto. I like the 1000mah 3.4v eGo batts with LR cartos. If you like 3.7v vaping, the 1100mah eGo will provide that.
There's also the option to try variable voltage (0v-7.4v) with the Madvapes vv box mod for around $35. There's also a new one out that has a digital voltmeter on the side of the box that tells you what voltage you are currently vaping as you turn the adjustment knob for about $44.

The force is strong w/ Dave.
Thank you sir.
But PG scares me. If there is anything in the jucies that makes me a little uneasy its PG.
But I guess if you Vape Gurus have been smoking it for years, I should be okay

Why does PG make you nervous? Is it because it is the stuff they use in anti freeze? If so, that is the stuff they started using in anti freeze to make it less toxic. It is also the same stuff that they use in baby food.
To quote someone else I saw post this- They also put water in anti freeze. Should we stop drinking water?
The boges are my favorite thing to vape on for now, but I am still looking for my perfect vape. I haven't had any trouble with them leaking, just those plastic smoktech things.
Hope this puts you a bit more at ease with vaping.
