Not gonna lie, I ove my clearomizer. But some people act like they would be repulsed by a cartridge. To be honest, I like my eGo/Cart setup for stealth vaping. Even mini clearomizers are big. Why the hate?
Why are carts bad?

Not hate just personal preference I think. Im a carto guy through and through. Go go and go cart work perfectly for me so I don't see any reason to change it up. Most of my vaping is done on the go and my pv is usually in my pocket so with the cartos I never have to worry about leaks which is good by me. Too each his/her own in the great carto/ clero/ tank battle.
Ya I started on carts and still have them around. I just like how much liquid I can put in a clearo, and that I can see when it's getting low, rather than taste when that's happening... I don't really find my clearos to leak any more or less than my carts do either.
Some have health concerns about puffing on burnt filler material. I wouldn't use a cart unless I knew it was hemp or some other natural filler.
I love cartos! I just happen to like them better in tanks. Not that they weren't awesome alone...I'd just always flood them because I was paranoid about burning them so I would always end up flooding them. I still have some that I use alone but for me, using them in tanks is more convient. Use what you like! That's all that matters!
For some of us, not all, using any filler is like (and tastes like) straining ejuice through old dirty t-shirts. Plus almost all cartos burn - either the filler or the sock/wrap.
They do have a steep learning curve and I swore once I would never use them again but once I got the hang of them and got some actual good ones I really love them. If you have any questions or anything about them don't hesitate to ask
I think cartos are great now. They used to be low on the list, probably last. But clearomizers finally just ...... me off so they've taken that low spot. Low if any consistency, I don't like silica, plus new & improved versions come out far too often.
Carto + tank = reduced chance of burning, viewable content level & can actually come out cheaper to operate than clearos. I used to taste the filler but I don't anymore.
Scarily enough I like them almost as much as genesis (which I didn't believe would ever happen).

Yeah it is not great if your letting your carto go dry, as long as you keep it filled though there really is no problem with them, that's why carto tanks work so well.
Since I exploded one and lost an o-ring, I have lost my "taste" for them! Maybe one day...I still have to change the one I have Unicorn Blood in. I just keep refilling it, but it is tasting a little burnt. 
I second what mourningshadow said! Baditudes blogs are what helped me. Feel free to let me know if you want some help!
2nd post: yeah if it tastes burnt there's no turning back. Just toss it.
I read the blogs, bought a tool and watched this video and STILL managed to muck it up!

The most important part is priming the carto. Once you get that down you're golden! Her method is great for switching them out though. I've seen it too!
The only carto tanks I use now are Lava/Bella or tanks will fill holes in them. I don't want to mess around with sliding my cartos in and out every time I need to fill or top off. Plus I mainly vape my own juice which has low percentage of flavoring so I can make cartos last weeks without gunking up.
Yeah, once you get that burnt taste in the carto it means you could be burning the filler material, and once that happens it just will not work right.
I prime okay, that isn't the problem! The filler degrades after a while. Well, you have to change the carto sometimes, right? I cannot get the hang of it, so I put it down for a bit! I do like cartos for trying out a new flavor, but I like my little mini vivi novas a LOT.
BTW, Chimney, the Purple Pieman is delish!

You might like the new AGR tanks or the DCT tanks that have a locking bottom adapter. The carto screws into the bottom plate then it goes onto your battery, no slipping involved and very easy to replace the carto.
Oh, and one big tip is when you are putting a carto in the tank ALWAYS make sure to put on a drip tip first so you don't rip the o-rings
Yeah I usually get a week or more out of mines depending on the juice. Lol! Whatever works for you is always what I say! I loved my novas too! Me & regular clearos didn't get along too well! So I switched to the novas.
Glad to hear it is! Mines should be here tomorrow...I hope! Either way I'm going to put them in the steep drawer & try not to bother them for at least a week.
