I know new stuff comes out constantly, can't keep up with everything. So far I've tried the Vivi Nova, T2, T3, Evod, iClear, and some of the older CE4 types (Stardusts?). What else should I try that I haven't? My main problem with almost all of these is the muted flavor and meh TH, I suppose I like the iClear 16s the best out of the ones I've currently tried. The flavor is still muted but the TH is there and I find the coils easy to dry burn and clean.

I have been using the Kanger ProTank for a long time and if you get into rebuilding them, they are fantastic. I just got a few ProTank II a couple days ago and am already a fan. Overall they don't work any better, but they are easier to clean and rebuild and don't use any glue, so it's an improvement on an already great device.
I got some CE6's from fasttech...they work pretty darn good
$2.23 CE6 Electronic Cigarettes Round Mouth Atomizer - translucent / 2.4
I like my Vivi Nova mini as well
The best hits I get are the ones with the single LARGE 3MM wick vs the multiple smaller ones...
The BEST one I can say is the bottom feeder tank I got with my Totally Wicked Tornado RCS which are IDENTICAL to the iTaste BCC and BCC Mega

They have a perfect draw on my Provari Mini. Not even close to airy
May as well ask what flavor ice cream people prefer, chocolate, vanilla or strawberry!
I happen to prefer the iClear 16's and 30's myself.... oh, and strawberry!

Don't forget the Smoketech Pyrex BCC for $7.99 or less. Shown here at discountvapers:
I don't own either but am about to get a Protank II. Reviewers (e.g. PBusardo & GrimmGreen) both said the original Protank was a good vape but had an airy draw -- which some people might like because not everyone wants a tight draw -- but that the Protank II has a tighter draw. Busardo showed the air holes in both bases and the Protank II has a smaller air hole.
So for those who were happy with the Protank, the II model will draw tighter. For those who avoided Protanks because of the airy draw, you can give the Protank II a try.
One thing I noticed is that all of the ones you've tried are made of poly, if I'm not mistaken. There might be some flavor improvement by trying a pyrex/glass model like the Kanger Protank II, or if you want a smaller device, the Protank Mini. Both have cheap replaceable heads that are interchangeable. One thing I saw in the reviews of the Protank Mini is that it might hit too light until you open the head and remove one of the two top "flavor wicks" that sit on top of the coil wick. Sometimes there are 3, usually 2. Reviewers recommend removing just one wick and leaving the other.
A really nice improvement with the Kanger II over the original is that both end caps screw off so you can take it completely apart to clean it. Also, the drip tip is removable so you can use your own drip tip, if preferred. I don't believe this is the case with the Mini unless there is a Mini II now.
Of course for the best flavor you could drip. The IGO-L has good reviews. I'm waiting for one of those in the mail too.
Dripping might not be convenient all the time, but it could satisfy your yen for good taste when you're sitting and relaxing at night in front of the TV or whatever, and have time to drip without it being a hassle.

I just ordered a Vision Aurora BFT.
It's supposed to provide the flavor you get from dripping, without the hassle. Simply give the included bottle a slight squeeze whenever your atty starts to taste like the flavor is disappearing, and you're good to vap somemore! Reasonably priced at under $30, you can view some reviews on YouTube!
Can be used with any Ego device, or, with an Ego to 510 adaptor, pretty much any variable voltage device of your preference!
Can't wait to get mine and give it a try!
Seems like an excellent option from clearo's....
mark another tally for the iclears. i just ordered my first 16 yesterday to add to my 4 other 30's.
ive had a vivi rebuildable tank, cobra ssmesh, and a bunch of cartos and i def prefer the iclears.
today i have had some success with rewicking some old caramelized coils with cotton from gauze and to my surprise, it works very nice!
going to try some DMC cotton ball thread of various sizes tomorrow.

The ProTank 2 is (to me) very flavor-neutral. But the coils I've used so far have been maddeningly inconsistent performers.
Compared to direct dripping, PT2's come in third. Cartos in Pyrex tanks come in second.
For ease of use, flip all that on its head.
Just my experience - YMMV, as always.

That looks very much like a rebranded iSmoka system...which lies in its constituent pieces in a box on my desk because the plasti-tank cracked within a day of use.
ProTank too airy blah blah blah. When I came from cartos to a protank it felt that way at first too, but you get used to it quickly... I find most things way too tight a draw now. Also, if you try rebuilding them, especially with a microcoil, the vapor production and flavor more than catch up with the light draw, making it a pleasure to vape.
The Totally Wicked thingy looks nice but I don't want to spend that much. I'm actually quite interested in the Anyvape Davide mini and the Smoktech ARO pyrex and Dbox Dube. Think I'm gonna place an order today. Does the Dbox/ARO vape similarly to the Evod? If so, I may pass... the 2 Evods I've had were not that impressive. They weren't terrible just meh. I barely use the ones I have. I drip all the time at home but I need something with good flavor and TH for the road.
I read somewhere that the ARO is an airier draw then the EVOD but can't personally say from experience.
That looks totally cool! Let us know what you think of it when it comes. Todd's review on YouTube was funny as the guy was so impressed he was practically giggling. LOL! A very innovative little device! And if you got extra little bottles, you could switch out flavors easily.
In the review he said it did not go on a VAMO without an adapter, but he didn't say which version of VAMO he tried it on. I believe the VAMO 3 works with stuff the previous versions needed adapters for (like the T3s for example). My VAMO 3 is en route, and I am seriously considering this VA BFT!
The Aurora BFT looks awesome! I just ordered one of the Anyvape Davide minis so we'll see how that goes. I will wait for the Aurora to drop in price and see if vendors offer extra bottles before I get one of those.
OOOOO I SO WANT THIS ONE! I love it! Let me know what you think??? Pretty please!
I can't recommend the Protank, unless you like your vape to taste like burnt motor oil. I've been through 2 and have had nothing but maddening problems with them regardless of stock heads rebuilt heads silica mesh cotton blah blah, you name it, I've tried it. The EVOD has been an entirely different story, however the EVOD is hard to recommend when there's a larger, pyrex clearomizer that rivals the EVOD's performace for the same price - Smoktech ARO. Highly recommended.
