I am very close to jumping to a tank, but for now I am enjoying the Kanger T3. Am I wrong here, but isn't the T3 basically the same as a carto/tank? The only real difference that I see is that the T3 has a very small wick instead of filler material. It seems like the wick doesn't draw in the juice, but instead simply keeps too much from flowing in. They both have 2 holes at the bottom, are sealed in a tank surrounded by juice, and provide excellent delivery to the attie inside of a tube.
Isn't a T3 just like a tank?

IMO, any atomizer that has a plastic or glass or metal cylinder that holds juice, uses wicks wrapped with a coil instead of being packed with polyfill or cotton is a tank. Thin clearomizers are technically tanks and large tubes that hold lots of juice are tanks.
I suppose you could say that both filler-based cartos and wick/coil based clearos are basically the same in many ways.
Until you get a burning, dry hit. Once the carto's cotton coil wrap (not the filler, just the tiny sleeve) is singed, it will always taste burnt. Silicon wicks in an exposed coil don't burn. You throw the carto away, while you just add more liquid to the clearo.
You can also thoroughly clean an exposed coil and dry burn if needed to remove buildup. Some enjoy re-wicking a clearo to get exactly the vape you want, or save money, or both.
Then there's the difference in flavor. Different strokes for different folks!

like a tank.. but not a tank.
tanks taste better imo and never have burnt hits like clearos do

kinda like the old question of boxers or briefs.....
I myself like T3s and if I do use a carto it's the Phoenix Raven.

To me;
Carto: steal tube that combines atomizer and Cartridge
Clearo: device that uses wicks to deliver juice to atomizer
CartoTank: a carto with a container around it to hold more juice

Cartotanks were the original "tanks". When clearomizers came along, people began calling them "little tanks". Of course, eventually larger clearotanks came along like the Vivi Nova and its clones and the Kanger T3.
It's like a diesel vs gasoline engine.
They both do the same thing, with similar yet entirely different methods.
I'm a stickler for semantics though. Easy enough to say carto-tank or clearo-tank though I personally just refer to all clearomizers as just that

I get that it uses a wick- therefore it is a clearo. But the range in clearos is astounding. I have several C4 disposables. They all work, but all but 1 sucks! The long wick drawing to the top seems very silly. The holes at the bottom of the T3 make sense- like a carto. I am thinking of the future, do I but more replacement coils for clearo tanks that I already have, or buy a carto tank setup?
OF COURSE! Buy Both!
