Carts didn't work for me because of the burnt taste when they run dry or can't wick fast enough to keep up with my vaping. They're also a pain to fill and I found too much juice getting trapped in the filler. Cartomizers just never tasted good to me. I tried dripping and loved it. After that, I didn't feel like trying out all the different cart mods to see if anything compared. Dripping was it for me. Now I use a juice fed device and I'm even happier.

If carts work for you, perfect!

Well, I can only speak for myself naturally, and I use pretty much all the different methods depending on circumstances and mood. My favorite is the new homemade tank mods I have been using because I can dial in whatever I want for resistance and using the loop-2-solder method I can swap out my nichrome without too much headache plus I can get 3ml in my tank if I use the one crafted from a 10ml syringe and only about 1.5ml if I use the smaller syringe version. That being said though, I also enjoy the new ceramic clearomizers very much. They are pretty much the same conceptually as my tanks being able to see how much juice I have left. I also discovered the joys of using 808d's the past couple of weeks and I really like the automatic batteries, although a lot of folks out there scoff at auto batteries as they do have drawbacks to them, but I enjoy the simplicity of being able to just throw it between my lips and hit it all I want while leaving my hands free for typing like I am doing right now. :D I could never do THAT with an analog. Getting that secondary smoke while inhaling the hit would choke me to death. LOL.

I also enjoy my atomizers for dripping now and then as I think I get a stronger hit flavor-wise and TH-wise when I drip. I can't wait to try the new EGO-T tanks to see if it is like dripping or not. I think it looks like it would be a lot like dripping to me. However, I like using cartridges as well because I think that topping off a cartridge is quick and easy when out and about. Topping off a carto frequently involved a syringe of some kind, and I do not like carrying a syringe around with me blunt or not. I can explain away an e-cigarette to a cop, but explaining away a syringe is a bit more involved I would think. PLUS, when I use an atty/cart combo I use the various cartridge mods. In particular I like the click-pen spring mod and just use a small plug of poly so I can hold more juice and top off less often.

So, basically, I like all the various methods. Tanks are my favorite though. ..but if I am gonna vape and mod, I may as well go for broke and use all the methods. They all have their time and place in my book. They all have drawbacks and plusses as well.

Yes, yes.. I am the Switzerland of vaping. Can't we all vape along? :p
