OK, just got back into vaping after two years. Before, I invented a tank system, and it resulted in the same problems current tank systems have, lots of flavor, less vapor. I think my design was superior, it leaked less...
I just broke down and tried carts. I always avoided them because I wanted to avoid another consumable product. Well, my loss.
Entering back into the game, I purchased the following:
Two variable voltage Ego-T kits from Welcome to Vapor Age - Step out of the smoke..... (props to them!)
5 2.4-2.6 ohm .8ml carts
5 2.4-2.6 ohm 1.2ml carts
3 LR tank atomizers
a couple of tips
a couple of cones
various juices from various vendors
OK, my decision was very quick and decisive. I had very poor results with the Ego tank, as is, out of the box. Very strong flavor hits at any voltage selection, very poor vapor production, and every tank I filled ended up running down my fingers (leaking). I tried with a couple atomizers, thinking it was a poorly machined atomizer. Not the case.
I then went to the cartomizers. A standard low resistance, single coil, ce2 (i think that is what they are called) type cartomizer.
Compared to two years ago.... awesome! Varying the voltage on the battery (3 selections, can not remember the exact voltage ratings at the moment) did exactly what it should do, increased vapor and throat hit. If it was too strong, or burnt tasting, I backed down the voltage... and vice versa.
Some juices are best at low, some at medium, and others at high voltages. I am extremely pleased with the results of the VV Ego and cart set-up. As for the tank... unless you mod something, I would recommend steering clear. This is just my OPINION, and should be regarded as just that, an opinion.
Last I knew, there were only two carriers of the VV Ego, one was out of stock (madvapes?), the second was Vapor-age. I called Jonah, at Vapor-age, for assistance with the online order (the online system is a work in progress). He is very knowledgeable and great guy to talk to. Shipping was very fast (two days). His site is definitely worth checking out.
Update: There was user error on my part. My carts were missing the covers... hence my issues. I still prefer cartimizers over the tank immensely. But, atomizers with carts can serve as back-up in a pinch. Flavor and vapor still are not satisfactory for me with the stock tank on a type A atomizer. Type B any better?
Now, I have seven attys and 10 cartridges to trade and need assistance in finding a strong 36mg Menthol vape!
