I have read a lot that cartomizers offer more flavor and was wondering about them. Currently I am using the VIVI Nova clearomizer and the Kanger T3 and was wondering what the difference is between them and a Cartomizer tank is. I had invisioned the catomizer to be a system that you had to keep putting drops of liquid into but as I read more I think it is obviously more than that. when I see Cartomizer tank I think of a tank much like the VIVI Nova and Kanger T3 I am using where all I have to do is fill it up and go for the day, are the Cartomizer tanks the same and what are the advantages and dis-advantages of them. I currently use the Vision Spinner 1300mah batteries but also have a Joytech Evic (which I don't really care for) would the cartomizer tanks work ok on these units or do they require more power etc. ?

A carto tank would work just fine on what you have. A good starter carto tank would be a Valley View Vapes polypro. Anodized aluminum or Delrin end caps and citrus juice proof polypropylene tank... and the side fill screw makes for a nice, quick, no mess fill/refill.
First off, your spinner and Evic will work fine for a carto tank. And yes, cartos by themselves have to be constantly topped off to get optimum performance. Stick them in a tank and it's fill and go.
Advantages: Consistent flavor, TH, and vapor production. If you get a high quality tank like an IBTanked, they are much more durable. Also, a high quality tank will not leak, unlike a T3 or Vivi Nova.
Disadvantages: There's a learning curve to carto tanks, though reading Baditudes blogs will speed up the process considerably. You have to match your juice ratio to the holes punched (part of the learning curve). Where as with a T3 or Vivi Nova you can pretty much throw any juice in and vape away. Also part of the curve is changing cartos out and priming the new one. Once you get it down though, it's no worse than changing a head on your Vivi or T3. Cartos are disposable, so for me that means that after about 20-30ml I need to put in a new one. Works out to about $1.50 a week for me.
Off the top of my head these are the pros and cons.

Polyethylene is more resistant, almost completely, but it isn't immune to citrus and malic acid corrosion and cracking. If you do crack or corrode a polyethylene tank, the liquid you're using is probably not the most pleasant thing on your throat and lungs. Pyrex/glass is the only 100% sure way to avoid cracking from acids. Polyethylene is very shock resistant though, and it won't crack or shatter when dropped. I've dropped one of my polyethylene tanks several times, and I can only notice one scratch. The metal caps actually have more visual damage than the actual tank.
I randomly have to top cartomizers off when in heavy use or with alcohol based flavorings. The power need is determined by the resistance, just like with any other form of atomizer.
