I've tried a bunch of different clearomizers, and didn't like them much. They were alright when they worked right, but they often gave dry/burnt hits. Cartos have been more reliable, and better all around. They're cheap enough. Might as well give them a try... some people love them.
If you get one of the 3.5ml dual coil tanks, you can also get them from madvapes (I mentioned Crystal Clear vaping as a place to get them before):
Dual Coil 510 Tank Cartomizer, 3.5ml
From Madvapes, it will come with a dual coil carto. I had problems with that one not wicking fast enough, and got burnt hits. I needed to widen the hole slightly. For some reason the 1.7 single coils work fine though (even though they are made by the same company). As I mentioned, you can get the pre-punched 1.7s from CCV.
The reason I bring up Madvapes is that they also sell a little cone to go with these tanks:
eGo Chrome Cone for the 3.5 mL Dual Coil Tank Cartromizer
Thank you for the information and input. Appreciate it! I am going to look into everything that everyone has mention and I am going to purchase a few items.
Any other suggestions are welcome!
