I have a tubetank (volcano carto tank) which has good flavor but a really easy draw. It's a bit noisy as you can hear air sucking in. I also have to very slowly inhale to get a thick vape, if I do a quick inhale there is little vape.

I also have some clearomizers, the type that looks like a clear cartomizer but has a thin wick. It's not the tank type but the type you use a ego cone with. This has a nice warm vape and a slightly tighter draw but not as much vape. Good flavor but very inconsistent and doesn't seem to last very long.

I also have a vivi nova tank it has a very tight draw and warm vape. Gives better vape cloud then the tubetank but the flavor seems to be not as pronounced. What I really dont like about it is that I have to tilt it often or get that burnt taste.

How does a bottom coil clearomizer compare to these? How is the draw? How is the flavor? How is the vape production? If you could rank the different options that would be great.

I have a kanger protank and a vivi nova. The protank has good vapor production but an airy draw (you can hear the air being sucked in). Flavor is on par with the vivi nova IMO and I don't get any dry hits on it. Fasttech.com has the original protank for around $12. The protank 2 can be found only for $18-20. Either would be a nice addition to your collection of vape gear.

If you're looking at a more customizable vaping experience I suggest an Igo-L. It's a great beginner dripping atty and produces great results with some experimenting. Fasttech.com has these for around $7.

As far as ranking goes IMO...

1. Drip atomizers such as the Igo L
2. Genesis style atty (I.e. RSST or AGA T)
3. Kaner protank - great build quality, glass tank, good flavor, and no leaks or flooding in my experience

All I use are bottom coil clearomizers and bottom coil carto tanks. I've not used any bottom coil "clearo-tanks" like the ProTank or Anyvape Davide, but I'll get some eventually when the ProTank II, II MINIs are readily available and well stocked at my vendors. I do have a Davide MINI on order.

I've tried DCTs and top coil clearos and didn't like them. IMO... I prefer bottom coil carto tanks with Ikenvape cartos first and Boge cartos a close second. Bottom coil clearos aren't quite as tasty and "vapory"... but great when you're out and about and want something to just toss in your pocket.

You can adjust the draw on both 510 and eGo device connections. On a clearomizer like an EVOD or T3S, as a temporary fix, you can put a piece of tape over one or two of the vent holes in the base to increase the draw and reduce airyness. With a 510 like a carto tank, you can use a piece of 1/4" surgical tubing, or even cut a piece off the end of a carto condom into a short piece of tubing. You fit that over the 510 collar and slide it up over the vent hole slots to reduce/control airyness. The same can be done with clearos, instead of tape, a piece of 1/2" surgical tubing to cover 1 or 2 holes.

Why not just place a finger over one of the holes as you hit the button, more often than not i do this by mistake anyway.
If you're directing your comment at me... it's (mostly) because I like to tinker with things, and I like to play with covering 1 or 2 holes/slots depending on the liquid and wattage and the clearo or carto tank I'm using... and with the surgical tubing, it's more consistent, for me, than fingers.
