That's what I did too. Got 2 Smok Pyrex DCT tanks and some F16 cartos. Figured before I invest in an IBTanked I should make sure that I like carto tanks. There's a bit of a learning curve with having to prime the carto, but it's not rocket science. I've been vaping for 3 days now and love it. Not a dry or burned hit yet, no flooding, no having to screw around with clearo heads, taking wicks out, putting them back in - just a consistent vape. Definitely going to be looking into IBTanked.
