Do you prefer Carto tanks or clearos with wicks?

I love cartos but I bought the AGR tank and have had problems with filling - when you prime the carto initially and fill the tank there is no problem - but when refilling the carto seems to get flooded and the the tanks leak. I have tried a couple different ways to fill the tanks and it has still happened. Lost about 4 ml of juice last night when I filled the tank - while I was vaping a BCC - went to go reattach the tank and tank was less than half full and juice everywhere - frustrated - so looking for another carto tank - I like the locking mechanism for the carto with the AGR - looking at the SMOKtech Pyrex class tank as a replacement.

i started out with clearos and after i tried out carto tanks i have never used a clearo. i love the look of a nice carto tank with a carto inside with nice bubble coming up. i cant stand seeing decaying sillica wicks hanging in my tank. carto tanks are so hassle free for me. if i was to ever try a clearo again it would probably be a kanger pro tank and i would try it with a fat peice of cotton yarn.

I've been using a Phiniac glass carto tank for about a year and have never had a leak.

Bottom coil clearos are awesome IMO. My personal ranking:

1. Bottom coil clearos
2. Top coil clearos
3. Cartos

Not taking into account RDAs of course. I used an iClear30 for a long time which I loved. I preferred the restricted draw and I never had flooding problems with it. Then I got a Protank and that changed my perspective. Bottomfeeders 4 lyf. I never had good luck with cartos. They always flooded and burnt out on me pretty quickly. Not hating tho, I still got love for carto tanks. To each his own.

Started with cartos for 2 weeks, then clearos for a week, then RDAs for almost a month while still using cartos from time to time. But ever since I got my first carto tank, i haven't used the my clearos and rdas anymore. I like the draw, taste, and convenience the of carto tanks. Using only Boge LRs and DIY 100 vg juice. Been only vaping for more than 3 months but so far haven't had issues with carto tanks.
