Need tank advice please

[pennysmalls]

Hi all, former provari user here who is getting her two provari 2.5's back from people who used them and have now moved on to sub ohming. I'll be giving one to my son (standard stealth) and I'll be using the second (polished mini). I haven't used a tank in more than 18 months and I know things have probably changed a lot since I last used a tank. The tank I used in the past was the Vivi Nova and the reason I moved away from it was because I didn't like my juice being cooked by the coil so I switched to dripping with the eBaron Pro.

I use Odin RDA's now on Reo's and would like to find a tank that both my son and I can use on the Provari's but I don't know where to start as far as tanks go. I'd prefer something that I can build the coils for. I'd also prefer something that doesn't have to many pieces. I'd like something that looks good on the vari's but I'm not sure anymore what size that would be diameter wise.

I'm really out of the loop with tanks, well actually I never was into the loop with tanks so I know almost nothing as far as what's good and what should be avoided. Price is not a huge issue but I don't want to spend more than $50 a piece if at all possible because I have to buy two of them, but I'm willing to budge on that a bit.

I'd appreciate any advice, thanks in advance!

P.S. Can someone refresh my memory as to what size batteries these Provari's will need without extension caps?

A Provari Mini uses an 18350 & a full size Provari uses an 18490 with out end caps & 18490 and 18650 with end caps
A Kay-Fun V4 works good on a Provari. You can get a clone for about 20 bucks. A Tobeco clone is about the best one

Thank you Steamer, will look up those clones now. And thanks for the battery info, I was just checking my batteries and I'll need to buy some 18490's but am good on 18350's.

A Kayfun Lite is much simpler the V4. You'll need a beauty ring for either.

I'd be looking at the Aspire Triton tank.

Seems really versatile and is getting great reviews.

Remember that Provape recommends using only button top AW IMR batteries in a Provari. Using magnets or other devices on flat top batteries will void the Provape warranty and is not a safe battery practice.

Since your son may not be into rebuilding coils, perhaps a high-end clearo tank would better suit his needs. I'd recommend an Aspire Nautilus which uses factory made replacement coils that he could change himself. A popular and proven clearomizer.

For yourself, it would be hard to beat a Kayfun Lite Plus rebuildable tank atomizer on a Provari. A Provari/Kayfun combo is what popular e-cig reviewer PBusardo uses when he is at vape meets. What Makes the Kayfun so Great?

Thanks for the reminder of the beauty rings, I had totally forgotten about those. And your right, I looked up the Kayfun Lite, much simpler and it looks like a good atty to teach my son how to build on. I think we'll go with those.

I'll have to look further into those because it looks like those take prebuilt coils?

 

[Steamer861]

One thing to keep in mind if your using a Provari. You will need pre made coil heads that are above 1 ohm resistance.
The Kanger sub tank has 1.2 ohm pre made coils available. Most of the Sub Ohm tanks are not suitable for a Provari

Thanks Bad, one thing I learned here in the provarinati section of ECF months ago is battery safety. All I use in my Reo's are AW IMR button tops. Haven't had any interest trying out other batteries because I'm so nervous about ending up with fakes or rewraps, so I stick with AW IMR's from RTD. I'll be building for my son and teaching him along the way so I think the Kayfuns will be a good choice for us, but you mentioned KFL Plus? Is that different from the KFL? Now that I'm home I can research this today but I'm wondering if one is more preferred over the other? If they're two different things that is.

Ah, I'm glad u mentioned this. I remember there was a limitation with the provari but thought one could go as low as .9?

 

[pennysmalls]

LOL!! Huge smile on my face! I remember that picture! Those red sevens paid for my first Provari, and now I have it back. I've missed it. I've been having a grand time with my Reo's, playing around with different builds and atties and juices, but am looking forward to a change from the usual. Good to see the princess of the Provarinati is still keeping an eye on the kingdom.

It can, but you have to keep the voltage pretty low due to the amp limit. If I remember correctly, the limit of the V2.5 is 3.5 amps.

 

[Steamer861]

Your probably rite .9 is doable. Most Sub Ohm tanks are way lower than that.

 

[pennysmalls]

Thank you again you guys. I've explained to my son that the stealth is not for sub ohming so he's not to let his cloud chasing friends tell him otherwise. This stealth is on loan for now so he has to take care of it until he's decided if he wants to keep it and that will mean no pushing it beyond it's limits. He's a flavor junkie so as long as the flavor's good he'll be happy above 1 ohm. He's been using a PT3 on an ego (I think that's what it is) and has been ok with that so far.

The 777 made it for me.

They make Three different coils for the Triton: a tootle puffer at 1.8ohm that uses kanthal, a couple of sub ohm coils optimized for different wattages and utilizing 316 stainless/Japanese cotton.

The Atlantis coils are also compatible, including the temp control version.

There is also an RTA rebuild option available that looks to be easey peasey.

According to pbursardo it is a killer vape.

Oh, and it is (apparently) completely made of stainless.

The kfl had 3 versions original with no airflow adjustment and a pretty small chamber. Kfl+ added air flow control and the kfl + v2 with air control and a slightly larger chamber to handle larger diameter coils. The eh pro kfl+v2 has been the best of all the clones(I've had them all) you can get authentic kfls for around $70 or less now though.

I prefer the kayfun v4, but there are plenty of great tanks out there. I only really use Genesis style atomizers these days and would recommend a origenny by norbert.
