I live in BFE East Texas and was dragged to a Vape Shop in Austin by my daughter and told to buy an ego/clearomizer set. I had tried a gas station e-cig about a year and a half ago,no throat hit, gave it up and went back to smoking. It was my daughter pushing this, so I went for it.
The kit was expensive, as it came from a B&M but there was lots of personal attention, lots of flavor trying, lots of good advice. So all in all, I think the price I paid was a steal. I have to rely on online suppliers for all of my supplies. I really hate this, if I am going to buy something I want to hold it, ask questions. Buying blind leads to wasting money on junk, and boy have I bought some junk since I started vaping.
Back home, with only 3 vision CE4 clearomizers, I knew they wouldn't last. I will say that I am a heavy vapor and take several draws off of my PV during a vaping session (like I smoked). I have tried all sorts of clearomizers that looked like upgrades to what I had. My first purchase was Kanger T3's (yep, the originals). The suck factor was overwhelming for a new vapor like me. God awful dry, or flooding, that is what my opinion of the T3. Kanger Pro Tank - a little better, still a little dry, and I have found I have to store the thing on it's mouthpiece or it is just floods. Vivi Nova, a little dry but better than the others. I thought I was going to just stick with the CE4's as they were the best of what I had.
Needless to say I have read extensively and watched lots of reviews and videos to fix my crappy clearomizers (curse you PBusardo and your clearomizer shootout video. Hahahaha!) I have gotten to rebuilding my own wick and coils for the clearomizers, to some success. I kept seeing Grimm and Phil brag about cartomizers and carto tanks.
I dug out the old Crown Seven e-cig I had bought years back, pulled out a still packaged carto and gave it a try. Yep it still had no throat hit, good enough flavor and vapor. When it started drying out I refilled it using the condom method with one of my current juices. The wow moment, it was perfect, best flavor I had experienced to this point, and good throat hit. It did't last very long but I started putting 2 and 2 together and bought an AGR carto tank.
The difference in the carto tank to the clearomizers is almost as drastic as the difference between the good old Crown Seven and my eGo/CE4s.
I would recommend to anyone using clearomizers only to buy one blank cartomizer and give it a shot, they are about $1.50 so you aren't really out much.
note: I haven't had a cigarette since I walked into the vape shop in Austin. 6 weeks
