Am I the only psychopath on the forum that prefers my clearos to my tank atty?
I thought the clearo's were quite nice, until I had the three that were in use all crack at the base within 24 hours of each other and waste about 3ml of different juices. None had cinnamon, no mint, just ginger ale and champagne flavors with fruit. None of the clearo's had been used for more than a week, and I had not done any aggressive cleaning or anything either. Also, one of them tended to taste burnt every once in a while, unless I tipped the battery end up when I vaped. the tanks came out at about the same time as the mini flood, so I ordered those instead, and I like them much better. They vape great, I fill them right to the top without any problems, I get good flavor and vapor with them, and they are very convenient.

Today I realized...a Carto is still a cart. Having a built in atty doesn't change the fact that they have to be filled, topped off refilled, suck some juice yadda yadda... Another thing i don't like about cartos is that they dont really have a tip. I have been using a tank for about two weeks now and much prefer it. As for TH, flavor and vapor, juices can be easily tweaked to supply all three. I cleaned all my cartos and put them away for emergency use only.

I have used both the Tank and cartos. My opinion is that there seems to be less of a TH and the vapor is cooler. I can attribute that to the fact that the Tank allows for more cooling of the vapor due to the size and shape of the system and less contact with material that will retain heat. Mind you, I use 808D-1 cartos and the vapor seem to get to my mouth rather warm in comparison with the tanks. The Tank system has many features that I do like and that includes the fact that I am able to easily fill the tank, see when it needs re-filling, and change flavors just by changng the tank. Pop off, pop on, done grashopper. The taste does seem to me to be different, not necessarily better or worse, weaker or stronger, just different. I still use both fairly consistently and each has their own pros and cons. The biggest drawback to the tank, for me, is the price for the tank-o-mizer and when it is blown there is no rebuilding. I took one apart that died on me after only a week to see if ther is any real way to work on/repair them. There is not, at least with the Inferno Tank-o-Mizer. Good luck and go for the tank.
