IBTanked is the cheapest of the -good- cartotanks. They are unmatched in the value to quality ratio.
However, there are tanks out there that are arguably better quality. Phiniac, trap, sub, and such. They're all cartotanks with similar types of quality seals, and often more durable tank (either polycarb or thicker borosilicate as the ibtanked borosilicate is pretty thin).
The problem I always had with something like a phiniac (for example) is you're paying too much more for not enough better quality.
I wouldn't bother with a carto tank any cheaper than an IBtanked. I've tried el cheapos like the smok DCT and UDCT and they universally gave me such fits and headaches that I swore off cartotanks for a long while.
