My current favorite is the Kanger Mini Protank 2, I have two of them. Solid performers, and they look really slick too. I had a Kanger Protank 2, until I broke the glass. I found the regular protank too bulky, too airy draw, and prone to leakage. I won't be replacing it. I have also tried a couple others. IMO, the Protank Mini 2 stands above the rest.

I just realized that you were looking for a CARTO tank.... Sorry, I have no experience with them..
The OP asked about "carto" tanks, not clearos.
Yup, feeling silly. I realized that after I posted.
Phiniacs are my favorite, but many people like IBTanked (IBTanked - Get Tanked With Us!) too.
One that is rugged and has excellent seals is the Phiniac. I've used mine for over a year and they have never leaked and I am still on the original seals. And they come standard with a replacement set of seals:

Another vote for IBTANKED tanks. A few major advantages:
- Well made, durable, high quality, etc
- Can be customized - patterns, colors, etc... not much extra to pay either - they can be quite beautiful and unique looking
- They come with a container called a "thingie" which provides the easiest, most fool proof way to prime a carto
Here's mine:

I've personally found the Smok's to be a bargain, but I do recognize them as "disposable" due to the fact that the end-caps are fixed in place. Sooner or later, they are either going to offer Pyrex with the locking Artemas (which doesn't yet have glass) or make a locking version of the Pyrex DCT's (V1 & V2). At $10-12 a pop, they are (again, for me) a relatively inexpensive way to have *looks at the shelf* 8 juiced tanks to choose from.SmokTech makes a DCT glass carto tank with a metal shield and large windows for about $10. I don't think it can be disassembled though.

I bought a Artemas tank for $9 but i don't think its glass although it feels like glass. It uses the flanged Smokteck cartos and locks them in place with a bottom collar. They might not have enough clearance due to the collar on some mods so you might need a $2 sealed 510 extender.
