I had no idea there were different depths. Can you give some examples of the most popular tapes of each?

level up fingerboards and milks creamy goo(now non existant) are 1.5mm other more popular tapes like fbs,slim and catchy, etc.. are around 1mm.

Addition: China tapes are usually around 1mm, and I think Red Wolfs new tape is about 1mm also. Ace3 is more like 1.5mm.

I prefer a thicker tape on medium/deep concave decks and slimmer tape on mellow/flat (old school) decks.

I would never consider using a tape that was not <1mm

I think it looks so bad when the tape and the deck is almost equally thick.

1mm/.9 feels so much better and edges look cleaner on thinner tapes most of the time

I don't think i've used 1.5 mm tape, but once it wear in a bit, won't it get thinner?

I prefer the fat ones, like Ace3/Creamy Goo. It doesn't look that stupid when you cut/rasp the edges in a 45° angle.
There are even thinner versions than 1mm, like RWF tape (0,85mm) or B-low tape (0,5mm).

In that case I prefer the 1mm tapes simply cause I've never tried a 1.5mm tape.  I have heard good things about them though and would like to give it a try.

1.5 mm since I love squishing my tape. Also it tends to last a lot longer for me.
