Should I replace the eGo-C tank with a carto? What does that mean?

Your ego-c consists of an atomiser (atty) which contains a coil that is fed by a vertical wick. If you take off the plastic tank you will see a spike which is a small hole with the wick inside it. Your tank is pierced by the spike and feeds juice down to the coil where its heated up to produce the vapour.
A cartomiser (carto) is a metal tube with a coil in the centre, this is surrounded by a filler material which holds the juice.
A clearomiser is a clear tube that contains a large piece of wick, juice is placed inside the tube and the wick sits inside this and feeds juice into the coil.
Some people, myself included find that ego type tanks mute flavours and dont feed juice consistently either resulting in not enough which results in a dry burnt taste (dry hits) or too much juice which can cause leaks.
Cartomisers are very popular because they are cheap, easy to fill, last a decent amount of time before they need to be refilled, and can provide very good flavour. A 2.0 Ohm cartomiser would be a good combination to use with your ego battery. Some people prefer lower resistance which will result in warmer vapour and more of a throat hit (TH). They don't last as long as a good atomiser, usually from a couple of days to over a week.
Boge cartomisers are very popular, but there are also other makes, some with different coil layouts or more than one coil.
I use cartomisers when I am out and about but prefer to use direct dripping on an atomiser (non ego type) when I am at home.

I can only state my personal preference
which is Boge LR Cartos
Great flavour and vapour.

Welcome to the ECF xderia. If your current PV is working for you and you enjoy it there is no reason to change anything. While there are other options for you to use on your batteries, I would opt for those only if your having problems with your atty/tank system. Some people have complained about poor performance, leaking etc. with the type of system that you have. That is why it has been suggested that they change to cartomizers.
Its all in your personal preference in what you like. I have tried all of these and carto is short for cartomizer which are the standard thing to use. I think my first ecig had the atomizer built in the battery and then they came out with cartomizers which where built in the metal tube you put your juice in. Clearomizer is like a cartomizer except it's a lot larger the tube is clear and it is a tank which has non of the cotton type material that holds the juice around the coil in cartomizers. I personally like the tanks because there is non of the coltton material in them that eventually start to get burn marks in them from the coil and I can taste the material even when the cartomizer is brand new. I just bought a megamizer mega vaperizer or something like that that is symetrical to my ego-t battery and just as long that has a big tip nand dual coils and screws on flesh to the battery and I get huge puffs without much cracking at all. It is very smooth and efficient. It does have the cotton stuff in it but works efficient enough to where it doesn't make burn marks in it like the cartomizer. the mega whatever dual coil vaporizer was $10.95 versus a cartomizer which are 5 for $3-$5.

Is this the mega dual coil your referring?

Yea that is the one I like. I also uploaded pics of mine along with a cartomizer and an ego-tank so he knows what they all look like.
my ego t works well,maybe they worked some of the kinks out.the big adavadge for me is less filling.good point bigtime(if it's not broke don't fix it)
I have the eGo-C that you are describing. I have had a lot of problems with the tank leaking, and the atty's taking to much time to burn out the "slime" they put on the wick (nasty taste).
I went with 510 clearomizers. The ones I have are actually the same size as a regular cartomizer. I enjoy these much more. They are bit more difficult to fill (I use a syringe and I was pretty messy at first). Once you get used to filling and priming they are pretty great.
If I were you I would order a pack of carto's and see how you like them. They are pretty cheap and you'll get a good bit of use from them even if you do not ultimately stick with them.

I have the Ego C and moved over to carts as simply put I have to fill them less.
Have had some issues with leaking and provided you you are careful filling the carts you will be good.
Rather like the Ego C set up and still use it regularly just moved to carts and tank for work use etc. If the C set up works for you really wouldn't worry about it unless you like to play with these bits and pieces.

I'm certainly no expert (only been vaping a little over a week), but I like both the Ego-C and Boge 2.0 cartos. I haven't had any leaking issues with the tanks, and they seem to handle flavor changes pretty well. I'm still experimenting with flavors a lot, so that's a big plus (I haven't yet mastered dripping on a 510 atty yet, but that's a different story). But with the flavors I know I like, the cartos have been incredible so far.
