I started with cheap pyrex DCT cartotanks from FT to see what all the fuss was :p and i fell in love with cartos, i don't go back to my iclears anymore. Ordered 2 ibtanked last week and i'll probably get 1 SnP down the road for my ADV.

The only thing i prefer while at my desk is the ithaka and hopefully the russian i should receive tomorrow.

I must be the only person who uses cartos, but does NOT use them in a tank. I love my Kanger XL cartos. They hold over 2ml of juice, and after trying plenty of different clearos, nothing tastes as good as a carto. The only thing that comes close is the Kanger EVOD, but I blow through juice with those, at least double the amonut I do with cartos.

Even though I almost exclusively use a bottom feeder with an RDA on it for that dripping flavor nirvana, I'd like to see a near future where instead of the eGo+clearo combo we see that with a carto tank instead more often. Carto tanks IMHO do not mute the flavor nearly as much as clearomizers. I remember I even liked using regular cartomizers on my REO and it was pretty damn good actually. Personally, I prefer them over clearos any day.

I placed an order with IBTanked this morning, also ordered 10 low resistance cartos from ikenvape. I've got a few LR boges left, but i hear great things about ikenvapes cartos, so I figured I'd give them a shot.

I have to say though, I built a dual coil on my trident this morning and slapped it on my EA mech and it has been performing amazingly well. But I still took my svd with a LR boge with me to work today. Nothing beats the connivence of a carto imo. Can't wait for my new tank to show up!

I started vaping just over 4 1/2 years ago and at that time my only option was to drip with an atomizer. About 6 months in, they came out with the 510 cartomizers. Since then I haven't found anything that comes close with regard to flavor since then. Trust me I have tried all the various clearo types and have also built my own coil/wick setups and nothing beats a carto/tank setup for me. Now my only problem is, I need a new pyrex tank, SS caps and a side fill screw. ValleyVapes was the only place I have found that makes them and I just heard they closed.....

Ray is selling his stock to a new company, email him to find out who to contact. He said that he'd post an update on his site, but still nothing yat.

If I'm not using a reomizer then I've got a super shorty CARTO on my Reo.
The super shorty makes a great backup in case I burn a coil or rip it out trying to rewick it.

I just got into my first cartotank. It's only been two days but it is the most consistently flavored vape i've had so far. And the "learning curve?" If a complete and utter newb to cartos can be vaping 5 minutes after filling, they aren't that bad...

For what it's worth, I'm using Smok Artemas tanks and Boge laser-slotted LR cartos (2 ohm, so low-res is a bit disingenuous). They rock, plain and simple.

My clearo experiences are CE2's, CE4's, Vivi Novas, and iClear 30's. I will not count the knockoff protank and EVODs I was duped into.
