Cartomizers are called cartomizers because they are a combination of cartridge and atomizer. In a cartomizer, the atomizer is a coil that stretches through the center. It is wrapped in a fibrous filling. You soak the filling with liquid, and this allows it to slowly wick on to the coil. In my experience, cartomizers are the most consistent when compared to tanks and atomizers, but they are also the most difficult to refill. MyFreedomSmokes has the Plunger, which makes refilling them much easier.
As for the e-liquid, my recommendation is always that you mix you own. It is much cheaper this way, and you are in complete control of what goes into your e-juice.
If you need a battery that will last all day, eGo batteries start at around 650 mah and run up to just over 1000 mah. mah is a measurement of electrical charge, so the higher the mah, the longer the battery lasts in between charges. Depending on what type of atomizer/cartomizer/tank you use, a 650 mah battery should last you at least one full day. I always carry a fully charged back-up battery with me just in case.

My advice on the e-liquid is mix your own. You can save tons of money by doing it yourself, and you will also have a lot more control on what goes in your juice. Also, you can experiment with different flavor strengths, nicotine content, PV vs VG ratio, etc.
Most liquid has a mix of both PG and VG in it. You can adjust their ratios to achieve different vapor qualities. The higher the PG ratio, the more throat hit. The higher the VG ratio, the less throat hit. VG also sort of dulls the flavor, as it is sort of sweet. Some say VG increases vapor production, some say the same about PG. I have never really tried to see which is true.
I would recommend trying a 70/30 PG/VG ratio. That seems to work for the majority of people. If not, it will at least give you a starting point.

36 mg seems awful high to me, although as others have mentioned, it is most likely due to your changing tastebuds. The metallic taste you describe could be caused by the a packing solution some companies put in atomizers to keep them wet during shipping. Also, if you are using a clearomizer, you should let it set for a while with liquid in it before vaping. This allows the wicks to get completely saturated in liquid. I bought some Vision Nano's a while back and couldn't wait to try them out. The first one tasted awful with that metallic taste you are talking about. The next one I let soak for an entire day, just to be on the safe side, and it was much better.
