A Short, Squat Tank?

So, I'm trying to find a tank that I can drop atop my VTC mini to make it as pocket-able as possible.

Key features are:
1) Short. Width doesn't matter to me. Nor Capacity
2) Offers Prebuilt SS heads. I'm not ready to take the plunge into building, and I'm a fan of SS TC vaping.
3) Assuming 1 and 2, flavor is way more important than clouds.

All the atomizers I've seen that seem to fit the bill are either RDA's or require me to build - is there anything that would work and have SS coils?

Any input would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

It does seem most of the really tiny tanks out or arriving are RTAs.
That's my preference so I don't own any squat prebuilt coil tanks.

Look up the measurements of the Tobeco Super Tank.
I don't have one to verify but I believe it's quite compact for a 4 or 5 ml tank.

Has factory SS heads (before the Crown actually) and RBAs but also uses some Aspire heads IIRC.

Not even sure why I don't own one... it got lost in the noise when the Crown released.

Could go with a wismec therom, use the prebuilt and wicked notch coils. Kind of a half way point between building and prebuilt.

Thanks guys :)

This may be more difficult than I had imagined, I was expecting to see quite a few suggestions.

I only threw out the T ST idea because with the inclusion of the Aspire line it has a large selection of factory coils available (including the SS you requested) though I could be wrong about its' size.

And I'm not impressed by either the specs or the reviews of the two (3?) available notch coils.

I may have found another one - the Smok TFV4 Micro. Comes with longer glass cylinders as well. But....Smok's website seems to be down. Can't look more closely.

LOL... completely forgot the TFV4 series. :p

When the complement of factory heads and RBA decks for the full size passed ~20 :eek: , I stopped paying attention.

Now with the SMOK Stick line, there are four sizes of the tank, though the smallest have their own coil line-ups.

Still... that's a very good possibility to look into.

May have to give the Mini and its' RBA decks another look myself. :)

Something about the Smok really caught my attention. Just ordered...a few. (One for the mod. Two to carry additional flavors so I can leave my bottles at home!)

I may have some GAS - Gear Acquisition Syndrome.

We all get GAS, it's not just guitarists. :p

What did you get?

After I posted, I went looking at the Mini.
I believe it uses all the full size heads, but also has a number of new ones (6?).
There's also an interesting "backup kit" (odd name) that swaps the glass for a shorter one so the Micro's "shorty" heads will fit, but the smaller heads increase the capacity from 3.5 to 4.0ml.

I think that's right.

I don't know what the hell fits in the 19mm Nano. o_O

Jim, Micros came in the other day.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to try them yet. Taking them apart for an initial clean (everclear, distilled water), each and every one exhibited the same issue:

When removing the glass tube, the o-rings gave way and left a questionable rubber residue on the glass. The residue would not come off with either everclear or distilled water.

So, o-rings are trashed and glass looks contaminated. No response yet from Smok.

Vendor has offered to replace glass and o-rings. I'm waiting on the parts, but not sure that I'll trust the materials. Ugh.

Image below, but I'm not sure that it's working.
