AeroTank v2 vs ProTank2

[serenity21899]

I have been using the ProTank2 on my VTR, but am getting tired of bad coils. I have heard that the AeroTank v2 will also fit the VTR. Which do you prefer and why? Also, can the drip tip be changed out on the AeroTank v2.

Note: I'm just asking about a specific product here. Please no suggestions on other stuff (e.g. RBAs), which I probably already have. I just need something for my VTR.

I prefer the single coils (used in the Protank2) vs the dual coils used in the Aerotank. I rebuild all my dual coils into single coils. I prefer a tank with airflow control. I added the new airflow base to all my Protanks to give them airflow control.



Yes, the drip tip can be changed in the Aerotank v2

I have the airflow base, too, but have never used it. I generally prefer single coils to dual coils, as well, which is why I'm asking about it.

Am I correct in that the heads for both of these clearos are interchangeable?

ETA: From my research, I found that the dual coil heads are guaranteed compatiable with the ProTank 3 and the new Evod/ProTank coils go into the ProTank 2, but are more burny.

Has anyone tried to put the dual coil head into a ProTank2, and did it work?

And is there much difference between the original Aerobase and the one that is out now?

Although I can rebuild, due to personal circumstances, I will not rebuild ProTank coils.

I chose the aerotanks because aside from airflow they are ss, not chrome plated brass.

Relatively recently I got a few clearos which use protank coils. There were disgusting until I rewicked them (just remove old wick, dry burn, insert cotton wick – done; repeat as needed). Quality was improved dramatically and I still do not know for how long coils can serve – they just keep going, more than a month already. Granted, I hate sweet juices, and it helps to improve coils lifespan.

P.S. I do not like Aerotank coils also, but I am a bit afraid to rebuild it – dust layer on Aerotank is too thick and I do not have a shovel at the moment.

 

[serenity21899]

The clearos are about the same IMO, since I have the Aerotank base already. I'm not spending more money for a clearo I will only use on one device.

As for the ProTank coils, I just cannot rebuild them. I have arthritis in my hands, and they are just way too small. Rewicking, however, is a possibility I hadn't considered. Especially since it seems the newer coils for these are just as bad, if not worse, than the old ones. I get about a week out of one, depending on the juice I'm using. I also think it is at least worth it to try the dual coils (if, indeed, they will fit) and see what I think before choosing my course of action.

I do appreciate everyone's comments.

The dual coil WILL NOT work in a Protank v2. The chimney is too tall and/or thick (I can't remember which it was). The new airflow control base gives me more air and the airflow ring stays in place once I set it.

If you want better performance out of your Kanger coils I suggest you periodically clean AND dry burn them. And if you are feeling adventurous, you can learn to rebuild them (have a friend do this for you if your hands won't cooperate). I too have issues, (I'm basically one-handed as far as flexibility/dexterity/strength) so I have someone assist me here.

Ok, thank you. I tried mine (I have the original one) and it made a difference. Forgot I had it until you mentioned it. The new ones are cheap enough to try them.

Every night I took out the coil and soaked it in alcohol, then rinsed in the morning and let dry. I alternated 2 coils per tank doing that and those 2 would easily last a month.

 

[serenity21899]

My issue has been more about getting bad coils. Nothing I can do about that, unfortunately. I solved the muted flavor issue by either using strong juice or unflavored.

I have a protank2 that I jumped to after using going through CE4s. I did not like how in the stock form air was drawn through the 510 connection. I switched the base on my PT2 with the base of an aerotank and it worked great. Drilled it out a bit for more air flow, too.

While the drip tip can be changed out on the Aero Tank, I've yet to find one that actually fits it properly all the drip tips I've tried all wiggle far too much for my liking.

I like the protank 2 because of rebuilding with cotton and micro coil.

Kanger's dual coil heads only lasted a day for me and gets expensive fast. They are a PAIN to rebuild.
