i'm totally with you on the carto train! i loved the vivi nova mini tanks on my ego twists, but when i moved on to the bigger vv/vw pv's, as well as "kicking" (i've got a bolt or two and a bombshell stinger where my kicks live), any wick based system just wouldn't cut it. i get a burnt wick taste, even at a low setting. i like to vape at around 4.7-5 volts or around 8 watts with the kick (not sure if the math is right-i'm a "taste" based kind of guy), and no matter how many different wick tanks/attys i've tried (vivi novas, the drunker tank, bottom coil tanks with the little wicks...what have you), nothing compares to a standard res carto-properly primed-in a good tank. i just don't have the patience or skill for rba's...yet. i do have a tank or two that uses oxidized metal wicks, but i haven't mastered the art of coiling yet...i imagine one day i will have the inclination to mess around with it, but for now, i'm a card carrying member of the cartomizer party.
