I am pretty much the opposite. I started with boge cartos and tanks, than I bought some t3's viva novas and a pro tank to try something different. I ended up returning the pro tank. I found when you get a good boge carto thats working right, the flavor and vapor was a lot better than the pro tank. It was more robust with more flavor for me. The t3's and bottom coils to me seem very airy and the vapor is muted and more whispy. So far I like carto tanks better than anything I tried. It just has the right amount of flavor hit and smoothness. I even bought an IGO L and messing with that and i find the hits too harsh and burny. I guess its a to each his own

To each his own FOR SURE.
But don't give up on your IGO-L just yet. Keep building coils and you'll eventually get one
right and have that "ah-HA!" moment. I just did that with my cheap Nimbus clone and am
gonna tackle my RSST (genesis style atomizer) again.

yeah im trying. I switched to cotton and I like cotton so far a little better than the silica. I bought a lot of wire so I guess i have to keep on experimenting. I watch videos of people making coils and it doesn't look like i am doing anything different than they are.
There are other, FAR more knowledgeable people here who will help you out. It only clicked for me a few days
ago, when I was watching Dimitris on his youtube channel (vapingreek) and he mentioned off-hand that he
doubled the silica wicks over on themselves.
And GrimmGreen mentioned giving the ends of the silica wicks a quick torch to keep them from unraveling.
Those two things made it work for me. I know we're OT now but I'm so pleased with myself that ima show
you mah coils!!!! .9Ohm, all lit up evenly and immediately on the first try on my brass Sigelei #19.

Yeah pretty much. Each coil has one piece of 2mm silica, folded in on itself in 3rds.
Does that make sense?
Here's a few more photos. One will show the complete unit (I need to do something about that gap still, it's beginning to irritate me)
and the very last one will show the stock 2.3Ohm (useless on a mech without a Kick or Kick Clone) setup it came with from fasttech.com.
They have good prices on most things, and shipping is free, but they have some JUNK too.
and here's the junky setup it came with:

Yeah, pretty much. I was also careful not to wrap it too tight. That will restrict juice flow and
result in burnt hits. Which is pretty much all I got from that stock setup that it came with.
I can give this thing about 10 drops and it'll gurgle for a few drags, and then I can chain-vape it
for a while before I need to refill. Which is new to me. I've never been able to do that with a
dripping atty, rebuildable or otherwise.

I wanted to try a carto tank myself recently, so i decided to get the locking style Chrome Artemas because i had the fear of the tank sliding off the carto. They use the flange style cartos and the bottom cap locks it in.
I got two tanks and some dual coil 2.0 ohm two hole laser punched cartos. They are working great.

Yeah, big fan of this one. Takes some practice for a noob to get it right but once I did, just awesome. This has kind of made me want to try other carto tanks, just looking through the whole thread to see if anything jumps out.
I just got my first carto tank as well and love it. Had problems with both evods and vivi novas so my local vendor suggested the dct (I think that's its name) and I love it, no dry hits and no leakage. In fact I love it so much I'm thinking of trying to trade my DID clone for another.
It's a fine example of how personal vaping is.

I have to say I have owned all of the tanks listed in this thread except for the Phiniac. My favorite so far are the SS and Pyrex from Loki Labs. They are some of the best built tanks I have seen. And they have large air channels in the bottom caps, so no problem sitting them flush on all devices (Provari). Standard size is about $40 I think, and $45 for XL, but a great value.
I hate having to leave a gap on my mod for proper air flow.

I own a zmax mini.. is there a way to adjust it so you can get things flush? I know people talk about the center pin and all that, but I have no idea what they do. It doesn't look like it can be adjusted
