What I meant was, usually you will get an overwhelming amount of answers from a question like that. Everyone has their own opinion on what is best. With all the new products hitting the shelves that list is growing rapidly. I'm really surprised that their have not been more responses. It may be a conspiracy to prove me wrong.

Lol true.

What would probably help would be for you to tell us both what you like, and don't like about the one you are using. There are so many variables, and so many products, and they all have pros and cons. What are you looking for, and we can probably help you find it. (Or at least give you 50 opinions lol)

What I do like, is filling it from the bottom instead of from where the mouthpiece is. But I really want a glass one. Would like to be able to easily replace the coil and wick manually, heard its cheaper to make your own and it doesnt seem all that hard.

And yes, I knew you could change the heads :)

I use these pretty much exclusively now. I have SEVERAL ProTanks that will probably never get used since I discovered these. IMHO opinion they're definitely worth trying.:2c:

Other than looks and capacity, do you notice any functional difference between them and the protank? I see they use the same coil.

Glass tanks like the Vision V-Fate are filled from the top but the mouthpiece comes off. They the easiest types to refill. You don't even have to take it off the battery. You do have to take the bottom off to change the coil.

Some examples;
Vision Vivi Nova & Cartos

I use these pretty much exclusively now. I have SEVERAL ProTanks that will probably never get used since I discovered these. IMHO opinion they're definitely worth trying.:2c:

Wow these both look like very tanks at great prices. I definitely like the HyperTank, they look amazing, have a 5mL capacity (Mine is ~2) , and is a great price! I will take a look at ProTanks as well.

Of the the two types of tanks mentioned above there are two types heads. In the Vivi Nova Tanks including the Vision V-Fate have a top coil.
The top coil gives a warmer vape. The other type such as the Evods and HyperTank have bottom coil. The bottom coil has a cooler vape.

Personal I like the top coils for a warmer vape and to me they seem to bring out the flavor more than the bottom coils. On the other hand I find that the bottom coils have more reliable wicking and less chance of getting that dry harsh taste. I also find that the bottom coils need a bit more power to get a good flavor.
I use both and it comes down to a matter of personal preference.

Since my first post I have tried the Aspire BDC line. So far they are working pretty good. i believe their are about 15 or 16 different styles. They range from ce style to vivi's to a kind of protank. The newest version is a 5ml version with adjustable air flow similar to the new Kanger Aero tank. Just a word of caution, even though the people in my circle have had positive experiences with them, I have heard of wicking issues from different sources. Phil has a list of some of the different versions here Taste Your Juice | THE ASPIRE VERSIONS and a review here Taste Your Juice | THE ASPIRE BDC (BOTTOM DUAL COIL) CLEAROMIZER. Discount vapers has several version at a decent price here Aspire Products.

The most hassle free, best tasting, set up for me are carto tanks. With clearos, I found that I had to rinse and dry burn them at least every other refill. Not only did I have to do this with mine, but with my husbands as well. It got old fast. With cartotanks, I can just refill multiple times. If the carto goes bad (they seem to last longer), I just switch out the carto for a new one. Above all, they deliver the best taste over every other clearo I've got, and I've got a lot. I get Pyrex tanks from IBTanked. They have customization options and are great quality. I've dropped several and they've survived the falls. Eventually one will break I'm sure, but the glass tube is easily replaceable.

My second choice are the new iClear b line. They come in 30b and 16b. Dual bottom coils for ease of maintainence and taste. I've given my husband all my Mini Protank II's. I've been spoiled by dual coils and carto tanks. Downside is, the iClear line only comes in plastic. They say it's resistant to tank cracking juices, but only time will tell.

Third choice is the Mini Protank II. This seems to be the easiest to maintain of every clearo we have. Coils for it can be found virtually anywhere. They also don't gurgle like larger bottom coil clearos do. I find the taste too muted for me now, but hubby rarely uses anything else. Above all, he wants a gurgle free clearo. Also, they're glass, and immune to tank cracking juices.

Agreed 100%
