What do you prefer for the Ibtanked systems. I have tried both and I made a huge mess with a non flanged carto. Most was clearly user error. Just wondering what others prefer and why.
Thanks

Flange or no flange

I prefer the flange for that same reason. I have come close to pushing my IBTank too far down almost off the carto without a flange. Also the flange alleviates air flow problems with some of my mods.
Yeah, I just stocked up on some non-flanged cartos. Then I got a flanged one with my IBTanked order and love it! For what it's worth, I use a keyring when pushing the tank down, as a spacer to keep it going to far. Place keyring on desk, place carto in the center with tank started and push down. Voila.

I prefer flanged as well. That being said I'm currently trying (and enjoying) the IKV Platinum series cartos which are not flanged. Just have to be extra carefull filling them but no major disasters...yet.
I kinda like the idea of a carto set-screw
don't have one, so not sure how good it works
but the theory seems good and saves $$ on flanged, maybe... ?
- X8 Carto Tank 3.0ml with Fill Port and Base Carto Secure Knob [gv-X8CartoTank] - $15.95 : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more
then there is those flange-lock types (best of both worlds ?) top fill

Another vote for the flanged Cartos. The only drawback I see is that they are more difficult to hot swap them. However I saw a video recently detailing how to swap cartos in a full tank, and I kicked myself for not thinking of it myself. (I think it was Mrs Ocelot)
I enjoyed the flanged myself also...if nothing else for no possible air restrictions.
I use both the flanged 510-Fusion and non-flanged Platinums from Ikenvape. Makes no difference to me... then again I'm using all IBTanked.
I like flanged, mostly because I've had a few of the unflanged push the bottom cap off of my IBT... big mess. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I fill up the tank and then screw the carto onto my iTaste with an ego ring, then push the tank all the way down until it "clicks." Seems like it ends up where it's suppose to, but I'm not sure why it's so hard to push out the bottom.
Same here. I'm picky about gaps and lines, with flanged cartos IBTanks sit up too high and leave a gap between the tank and device. With unflanged I can snug the tank right down against the mod for a much nicer look.
Given the opportunity to have an IBtank with a flange cut-out, then I would definitely go with a flanged carto.
After a few days with the non flanged ones i have gotten the hang of it. it does look better sitting lower n my mod for sure. just take a few seconds to be careful and all is good!
I dislike the "gap" and prefer no-flange for the same reason.
But if IKV is out, what's the backup?
I see a no-flange Smoktech at Discount Vapers - but I thought (probably just wrong again) that Boge made all no-flange and SmokTech made all flange. Any other brand you'd suggest I try?

For me, it depends on the device I am putting it on. If there is no airflow on the topcap, such as ProVari, I use flanged. If there is, then unflanged. I have been using carto tanks for like a year now, so the flange really has nothing to do with the ease of use on my carto tank, for me at least.
