I didn't have a wicking problem with my tanks. I just feel the cartomizer affords so much better flavor, and gives me a much better TH. The tanks seem to make more of a mild vape, not as strong on the flavor. I really like having a choice as to flavor, and TH desired! I'll just be taking my tanks and cartomizers with me where ever I go! Gee, what a tough life.... lmao
