I've pretty much moved on to RBAs but carto-tanks were my mainstay for many months. Very reliable, no leaking/flooding/burnt hits. Except for the occasional bad carto I would say thay are more relaible than most if not all clearos (but I haven't tried the Nautilus). And they are WAY less time consuming/fiddly than RBAs. I preferred Smok or Ikenvape cartos. Definitely worth a try.

IBTanked w/Smok cartos here too. I have 3 in my daily rotation.

I like them because of the consistency and ease of use. They have good vapor production and flavor. Plus, they travel well. There's a bit of a learning curve, but not much. I'd suggest reading Baditudes blogs on carto tanks. Also, don't forget to get a refilling tool like the Slap Yo Mama or the refilling drip tip IBTanked sells. It makes refilling a breeze and saves your o-rings.

I recently got some boge cartos to try them out and i was really disappointed. I imagined they would be convenient, just simply fill up, watch them soak up and vape away. For me they just don't soak up juice even after trying many methods found on YouTube. They make a big mess as well. Before anyone asks yes i use high PG juices, makes no difference. Using a tank is just so much easier and performs better.

I found if your using high VG juice you need a larger juice hole in the side. Ikenvape has some with larger holes or use a small drill bit to enlarge. I use several Carto Tanks daily and have not found a clearo tank that can really compare to the simplicity and bomb proof design of a carto tank. I guess I am just old school, but they work for me just great.

I tried cartos, with and without tanks, and found them to be much fussier than clearomizers. The filling especially, as mentioned above, can be a complete pain. And even when I got that right I didn't notice any better flavor. But lots of people love them, so it is worth giving them a try. You don't have to buy a tank to get the experience.

I still daily rotate a good ol' reliable cheapo SmokTech c-tank rig! And gots sum backups. Just 'cause vapin' technology has greatly advanced, doesn't mean da ol' stuff can't sate da need!

I'm finding dat my Nautilui BVC heads are lasting as long, if not longer, than my ST DC 1.5Ω cartos. Win/win with my ST DCTs and BVCs!

Tried Boges twice; never again!
