I had my doubts when I ordered the XL CE2's, and I know you said least fiddle but, once you spend a few minutes with each one they are awesome. Hold almost 2ml.

If you do decide to change your mind and fiddle a little, order two packs of five, until I learned to get them working the easy way, I damn near destroyed the first one. Took one apart last night and cleaned it, slapped it together after a dry burn and works like magic. I can see these lasting a long time.

For a big tank I've heard good things about the Chibi, but I don't like cartos as much as the CE2.

Thanks - I have a tank (not chibi) coming from MadVapes, and I already use CE2s, just haven't tried the XLs. I love the CE2s ..... I like seeing what's going on, but haven't found a way to clean them except to take the case off ..... had problems with 1 after I did that. Now I only use 1 per flavor .....

If your looking for a fiddle free carto, then the CE2's are prob the last carto you want to use. You have to fiddle with the CE2s constantly just to get them to work like they are supposed to.
What PV do you use?
If your using a 3.7V PV I would try the Ressurector cartos. They are extremely consistant and rairly require fiddling with them. They are almost always dead on at 1.7ohms and hold a lot of juice. I get 2-4 weeks avg on one Ressurector and never clean them, and thats not in a tank. The Ressurectors work great in a tank too. In a tank you should be able to fairly easily get at least a week or 2 with one Ressurector without having to mess with them at all

Like Tersur mentioned in post #13 about the Chibi tanks for Parkesvaping.com im a fan boy of the acorn tank from there .
Has screw on top to easy fill with your e-liquid bottle no syringe needed and comes pre-installed with a ce2 .
I cut out my own ce2s cause its cheaper for me but they can be bought pre-cut for 4.00 and easily installed.

Some are not fans of these type of setups cause when you fill them too much and or turn them upside if you vape standing on your head they flood the airtube or they do not wick fast enough.

For me they wick great and one can double wick them as well, the taste is nice and clean as well.
So many options out there now a days and im sure more to come to market from vendors.

I saw folks were talking about the nicks .... when mine gets here from MVs I'll have to really look at it and see what's going on. I don't have one on hand yet to see all the parts, etc.

Chibi type tanks have a rubber/vinyl end cap and you stick the needle in to fill it.
Madvapes have a hard (delrin?) end cap and you slide the carto out a bit to fill. (I only slide it out a tiny bit then stick a needle in there to fill)You won't have to worry about nicks with the madvapes one.

So no nick worries with the madvapes one.

I like both types, but to me the soft caps are easier to refill.
Having said that, I have a handful of the madvapes type on the way cause they hold more and I like the looks of them better.
