I find that cartomizer give a fuller flavor than clearomizers, muted flavor, but in my experience carto's do not last as long as clearo heads before needing replacing. I just purchased some RBAs (AGA-T+ and IGO-L) which I hear gives even greater flavors.
Never really liked how cartos were constructed, but they are reliable. Recently, I have been using the IGO L with cotton on "sour" juices that crack the clearos. But I have to say, the vivi nova with a stainless wick is pretty good for running around with.
I mostly drip a 510 bridgeless at home, so I'm used to getting maximum flavor and vapor from my juice. That said...
The Kanger Evod bcc clearo is my current go-to on-the-go device. It delivers the cleanest flavor of all the other clearos I've tried, is convenient, easy to fill, easy to carry (I keep several on me loaded with a variety of juice), and easy to tweak/clean/change coils. I replace the top wicks on these with strands of bamboo yarn, generally 2-6, depending on the PG/VG content of my juice, and never have any issues whatsoever with leaking, flooding, or dry hits after that initial tweak. I run these @ 2.2Ω on 1300mAh Spinners between 3.7-4.5v depending on the juice. I love those little guys, they go everywhere with me!

I have 1 vivi nova which is ok but I prefer cartos in tanks. I use a cheap 510 atty for tasting and sometimes a carto for tasting as well. I use boge LR (2.0 +/- 0.2 ohm) cartos and I get the 10 box deal at surevapes.com.
to me the cartos "perfume" the flavors making for a better taste IMO.

I use a cartos tank for my main all day vaping but also use 510 Atomizer for flavors i do not want to vape all day
Being able to call vaping a "hobby," I like having options for devices to sport on different moods. I like cartomizers for ease of use and replacement and also just got into RBA's for their tinkering nature and their fuller flavor vaping.
Cartos: My daily vapes are Boge XL 3.0 ohm cartos in my DCTs. The pre-holed Boges have a nice, big hole for my VG-heavy juices, and the flavor has been just great. Earlier I would use the flanged DC cartos for DCTs, which are just fine, but my experience has been that the DC cartos mute the flavor ever so slightly compared to the Boges, so Boge it is for me.
Clearos: My experiences with clearomizers have all been bad, but I kinda like the concept, so I have several of them lined up to try out, including iClear 30 and Kanger MT3.
Atomizers: I've had a lotta great experiences with Joyetech 306 LR atomizers, some of them lasting me for months, but they've also been fairly hit and miss. It's also annoying having to wear in a new one after having had a fantastic working one for a while. Just recently took my first step into the world of RBAs in order to save some money in that department, and I'm starting to get the hang of it. Eager to try out a genesis style soon! Also curious to try out dual coil atomizers and the AVA atomizer. "Different is interesting".

Carto tank mostly since it seems to give a fuller, thicker vapor. That is until my AGA T+ comes in the mail and I have gotten the tinkering down.
"Muted flavor" seems to be kinda subjective. I've had different juices taste better in different tanks.

Just started using e cigs ordered myself a ego twist i have Ce5's and a cartomator tank and i really prefer the cartomator tank with the boge cartomizers absolutely loving it.
I've tried just bout everything except the rba line up. I have only done a Phoenix clone. I was a die hard glass tank / replacement carto user and there are a few juices that can will work well enough re throat hit and flavor with that set up. I keep the cartos in the 1.8 ohm or LR category to help with those two elements and the juice I'm juices I'm successful with are 24 mg nic in 75/25 pg VG with citrus in them as well as Creme brûlée WTA and Pomogranite WTA. Ai make my own and flavors probably medium strong. I find premades all weak or Flavored outrageously over strong choking perfume soap etc
The best flavor and throat hit your going to get is for Attomizers. I never go below 2.00 ohm on those. Any lower reserve can rob flavor sometimes. It so subjective but there is nothing like Attomizers for control. How wet, when to re wet how long before re wetting etc. I also drip cartos effectively for periodic bursts of flavor and hit. So the tanks remain in my arsenal RBAs are really delivering more of the goods but the learning curve! I'll be long and slow for me. They are the best so far. Then I have that bunch of surprising little erolls. Very awesome. Sometimes a little finicky not bad though. So far there isn't any flavor I'm not able to achieve throat hit on and the flavor is about as good as it can get, especially on a brand new atty. I'm getting some of those Atties redone with mesh to see how much better they might get. I will be willing to do that if it's better. Hard to improve on a good thing but they are doing it all the time in the rba world. Why it's such a prolific market. Went from a few to hundreds almost over night it seem. Have fun. It's not such a serious thing to have dull flavor or no throat hit when your busy doing other things but to sit down and really enjoy a vape tryout RBAs all styles., tank, drip, bottom feed. In the end the bottom feeder I got two weeks ago ( my brand is reo mini...i should have got reo grand and kicked it for the best) looks like its in the head for the potential for the best vape possible with the right bottom feeder rba. I think the smaller and thinnest coils with plenty if wraps with the least wick, or maybe mesh is what works over big in rbas. I'm a newbie. 8 months total vaping. Much to learn. Many juices to make and more replacement cartos to check out re tanks.
