I know what's a wick and kanthal, what's a mesh? I tried googling....still unsure what part that is..
The mesh is the wick for rebuilding your wick and coil and is considered advanced. I won't use silica anymore at all, but then I won't rebuild a clearo either because you are still going to be using a clearomizer, which WILL leak. There are a ton of better atty's out there if you want to spend the time rebuilding something. In addition, the clearos are plastic. I prefer glass, no reactions with any of the juices so I can use anything my heart desires with no worries.
IBTanked.com has everything, and if you have questions OCD is the owner and a member here on this forum. He can answer any questions you may have. As I said, there are many other company's but OCD has reasonable prices so is a good place to start. Once you determine if you like them, then you might consider more expensive tanks, but many people are quite happy with his low priced product and service. Low price doesn't have to mean low quality. Clearos to me are low priced, bad quality disposables and while convenient to begin with, still are plastic, use silica and will eventually leak. A tank is not disposable, the only disposable part is the carto.

Great information, thank you so much ! Will be getting them at IBTanked.com. Do you recommend anything? Looking for atty and carto I guess....what else do I need?
Is there anything that's equilvalent to the atty and carto as the best one for clearo is the Vivi Nova? Not sure if I'm saying it correctly, hope you understand what I mean...

The carto IS the atty -- it has an atomizer within the tube. You then put that inside the glass tank, making it a cartotank. They are a different animal from a clearo, a vivi nova is a type of clearo. A clearo is plastic and uses a silica wick. I don't like plastic, I don't like silica = I don't like clearos. I do like glass, I do like metal atties = I like cartotanks. The disposable part of a cartotank is the cartomizer itself that holds the atty and is the part that you punch the hole in to let the juice in.
Cartomizers were originally used alone and you filled them with your juice. The Blu and the other cig-a-likes still use them. If they got dry, the filler would burn and you had to throw them out, plus if they got dry the atty in them would fail. Someone much brighter than I decided that if they punch a hole in them and put them in a tank, it will self fill and thus not get dry. With them encased in a tank, they stay wet and will last longer. Mine don't usually burn out, I just start getting a hard draw and they need cleaning out. Some people toss them at this point since they are a buck a piece; some people clean them. I still have filler for them but never got good at replacing the filler
ETA: the tanks have o-rings which seal the carto into the tank. If you get a "tank tool" you put that on the end and it helps when you slide the carto into the tank as it protects the seals from the edges of the carto. To refill the tank, you put on the tank tool and slide down the carto and fill. It makes it really easy. Having it in your hand you will understand better.

Oh I see, that is true. Who knows if the juice would be melting the plastic and I'll be inhaling toxic ! Good point.
Also, if I want to drip, what do I buy? Cause I read that if you drip you can try out different flavors and that's what I want to do.
I have this clearo and I have to vape it all out before refilling a diff flavor, annoying..

They sell attys that you can drip into. This is just an example, I don't know prices or if this is a good price:
Joyetech 510 Atomizer - MyFreedomSmokes.com
ETA: also I don't know your set up so don't know what resistance you will need. This is a picture of SR, depending on your battery you may need LR.
if u want to drip then you buy an atomizer.
atomizer = no filler just coils.
cartomizer = filler around the coils that you soak with juice
atomizer = drip onto the coils directly
cartomizer = saturate the filler around the coils with juice and then not have to drip for a bit.
atomizer = only a few hits before needing to re-drip more juice
cartomizer = saturate the filler and be able to vape for a few hours
atomizer = does not go into a tank
cartomizer = can go into a cartomizer tank
clearomizer = no cartomizer, just coils around a wick. the wick's 2 ends go down into a tank of juice.
