So I bottled a brown Ale a few weeks back, 12 in Red Stripe stubby bottles the rest on Corona bottles. 1 week in a try a stubby, all good here, lots of carbonation and good taste. Go in for a second, this time a Corona bottle, dead flat. Over the week I drank the stubbys, all tasty. This weekend tried another Corona, dead flat, than another from a different box. I moved them all to the dining room to "warm" and now getting carbonation. Do stubbys carb up quicker or better? Both bottles are side by side when bottled and same temp. Room was 18c now in 22c
 
I'll assume that you correctly mixed in the priming sugar prior to bottling, so in theory it shouldn't matter what bottle type, as the proportion would be the same. That said, I have heard anecdotal evidence that some bottles take longer to carb (particularly 22 oz bombers). I usually use only one type of bottles, so I don't have a person frame of reference.

Just a WAG, but the only thing I can think of, is that there are minute differences in mouth diameters between the bottle types, and the crowns on the Coronas have a tiny leak? Give them more time and see if those Corona bottles start showing carbonation in another week or two..
