The general consensus for most vapers is:
a) you start with clearomizers because they're easy. Fill, forget.
b) their inconsistency pisses you off.
c) You have a couple choices at this point:
a) top-wicking clearos (CE-whatevers, the iClear 16/30's)
b) bottom-coil clearos (Kangers, Evods, Protanks, etc)
If clearos are starting to piss you off, try cartomizers (or carto tanks).
If you were warned from carto tanks because you were new, and clearomizers aren't satisfying you anymore, maybe it IS time to try out a carto tank, anyway. It's not difficult to master, all you need is a little practice. A mentor or a decent B&M is all you need to figure cartos out.
I was deathly afraid of cartos when I first started, mostly because I couldn't understand why so many veterans preferred them to clearos. It was all simply a learning curve I hadn't mastered yet. And the learning curve for cartos really isn't all that hard to master. It's worth a shot.
I would give second thought to anyone suggesting you dive into "rebuildables". If you are still relatively new to vaping and cartos give you problems, I will 100% guarantee a rebuildable set-up will make you so frustrated, you'll go back to smoking out of spite.

right now im debating on the Boge 510 XL LR Stainless. back in the day before i quit vaping i learned how to do it right but like we talked earlier a lot has changed!
Over six months in now, I'm using mostly clearos (PT2, IClear 30, etc) on top of MVP2, IGO-L to test new stuff (wow, 3 or 4 drops last a LONG time), bridged atomizer for the same reason, and yeah, gotta own up to it, I still really like cigalikes (different refilled cartos on a 510XL) with my morning coffee, or a lot of times while driving, or playing guitar or keyboards. Just so much easier for those times. But...going carto is my next move. Been reading about it for 6 months, time to give it a try!
For filling the boge's (only applies to non flanged cartos). I still like the condom method. Super easy.
My take-everywhere backup rig is an Ego C-Twist with a cartomizer. For me, it's a pretty goof-proof setup.
I have been vaping for almost 3 months now completely analog free. Since I've gotten off cigarettes I have tried so many different styles of vaping. Currently I own an igo-w, a t2 clearo, 2 iClear 30s, a protank mini, a protank 2, a few atomizers, assorted cartomizers, etc. etc. etc.
Recently I got my iTaste SVD and AGR+ carto tank stolen at a Halloween house party. I was so SO bummed because in everything that I have tried that had been my favorite vape (not to mention that wasn't exactly a cheap set up to lose)! I think I am a carto guy and I feel like since the shift has moved to rebuildables the cartos have gotten left in the dust.
Who still uses cartomizers?
and for those of you out there...
What is your current carto set up?
pictures are always appreciated
I'm thinking of switching to a cartomizer because I find the tank thing pretty frustrating.
I use cartos(no tanks). I reckon tanks mute flavour. Standard Boge on my provari at 5.5 volts. Don't get any better for me
How so? The carto is what is creating the vapor, the tank is simply a reservoir that "auto-fills" the carto to keep it at a consistent level of saturation. The tank shouldn't affect the function of the carto in any way other than to ensure that the polyfill doesn't have peaks/valleys of liquid.
Carto only, with 450mah makes a nice stealth setup for work.
Learned 2 valuable lessons yesterday.
1) Always pay attention to fill....or lack there of.......
2) Always carry a spare, just in case you forget #1
Burnt Carto 2 hours into a 12hr shift makes for a very long day.

I use carto tanks almost exclusively. I have an evod, t3, iclear30 and a couple ce4's and some unknown cheap RBA, but I always find myself going back to the carto tank setup. I keep a couple of them in my pocket when I go out with different flavors so I can change it up at will.
Another carto tank fan here. They are the only way to go when you are on the go. Save the rebuildables for at home.
That's how I roll carto tanks are what I started with and was able to quit smoking cold turkey, BC they are so reliable and portable, plus they take very little effort, I can fill a new tank, prime carto (condom method) in 3 min n be on my way. You will be there to. I just ordered a bunch of mechanical aid, couple Genesis Style RBA's and a kayfan and a fogger, clones, I will have 4 RBA's and k2 Clone for like 50 bucks
But I well always depend on my ProVari and a couple carto tanks.

nice tanks which ones are they and where can you buy them??
When I want flavor I either drip using my 510 atty or I use my cartotanks cuz' for out and about.
Since I just ordered 10 boxes of 5 each Boge LR cartos I guess I still use them. I like getting a small brick at a time and forgetting about for a while. I've also have a box of Iclear 30's, Protank II's, a Kaufun and a Tiafun to play with.
But my Boges in Gr Modders "TrapTanks" (Gr-modders - Gr-Modders) are my all day go-to set up.
