Anyone shell out the bones for the aerotank?

Spinfuel has a pretty good review on the new Kanger Aerotank....

Anyone here give it a spin yet?

KangerTech Aero Tank Review

I got a link to these from the person who sold me my MVP (good reseller) but I'm not sure I'm ready to pull $26.00 on this bad boy yet. I'm not sure I'm going to be twice as happy with it as I am with the Mini Protank 2.

Who want's to be a guinea pig and give their first impressions on this?

 

[LReyes66]

cheaper then the aspire naut and most likey cheaper coil head then the naut one too (5 pac for $33 ) so im curious as well

 

[TheVaporBear]

I have not, as my Kanger experience for the most part (PT2 & PT3) have been disappointing.

I have a nautilus en route to me tomorrow, so I'm looking forward to it!

I hope the Aerotank works for anyone that tries it! It looks like a much-needed improvement!

I love my PT3s I have 2 and will be getting the Aero as well

Just got 2 aerotanks from sun-vapers in santee, CA.
Here are some pics compared to the kayfun lite which i believe it may have been styled after. Will post initial thoughts later tonight

Ok aerotank #1 has the air control ring closed all the way and it is stuck. I cannot break it loose and airflow is completely cut off. Going to try to exchange that one tomorrow.
Aerotank 2 assembles well, but once an atomizer head was installed it was hard to get the base to screw onto the tank. I think the chimney is getting caught on something inside the center tube. Once i got it together it works pretty well. More vapor than a standard single coil protank head and the airflow control works well. I dont think the heads work quite as well as single coil heads rebuilt with a nano micro coil and cotton, but better than an off the shelf single coil head in my opinion.
So far no dry hits, no flooding, and no gurgling. Also the heads are taller providing more room to work for rebuilders. They also have a silicon grommet instead of the rubber ones that tend to burn on heads that have been rebuilt.

I really like the look of this tank and I am a big fan of the glass tank. I also like the simple wide mouthed drip tip it comes with. I think the size is a bit of a downside though. It is taller than previous protanks. Just a bit shorter than a kayfun lite. It fits well on a provari, but this combination is very tall. Probably too tall for me to carry regularly. I really wish they had made the airflow control ring reverse threaded. If it gets screwed all the way up airflow is cut off completely and trying to unscrew it tends to either unscrew the tank from the device or accidentally remove the base from the tank. Overall i think its a really nice looking tank that performs pretty well, but it has a few kinks that kanger might want to look into fixing in the inevitable version 2.

Sun-Vapers emailed me today with an answer that they did know when they would have them in stock?? When did you order yours?

 

[tferguson]

Im lucky enough to live right down the road from their retail location and i purchased them in store. I think they just came in today.

One more quick side note. The actual product looks different from the picture on the box and the pictures I've seen online. The top of the tank is more square and there are no grooves machined into the top part of the tank.

They have it on their website now I just looked

It looks like the Aero uses the same heads as the Protank 3. Can anyone confirm this?

 

[Jenn Perry]

yes it does I believe

 

[tferguson]

According to Edward at Sun Vapers the heads are different. The protank 3 heads have a very short chimney on them and the aerotank heads have a long chimney similar to the original protank heads. I believe he did say that the protank 3 heads would work in the aerotank but that the actual aerotank heads were different. I dont have a protank 3 to try it out myself so I can say for sure if they are cross compatible.

OK i got the other aerotank working. My mistake. Also I take back what i said about the reverse threading of the air flow ring. Got to used to the switch lockout on my mech mod and turned the wrong way...Sorry to kanger for any bad press. Also i took apart an atomizer head and these things are actually not too hard to rebuild. Pretty much just like the original heads but tall enough for another coil. Also I tried rebuilding one with a vertical micro coil and cotton. Works well but way too much throat hit for me. Am I the 1st to rebuild an aerotank head? I think I'm going to enjoy experimenting with these things. The more i use them the more I'm starting to like them.

this video tells/shows you how the two coils compare

Thanks for that but I refuse to watch a review when the reviewer can't even pronounce the product name (I mean, really, Aerio? It's not hard)

 

[pufZeppelin]

who cares, get over it

he has the exact info your looking for

and shows you hands on (actual footage) of the products features

My Aero arrived today (eBay $25). It does use the Protank 3 (version 2) coils. The PT3 (version 1) coils don't have the center post, but those were a pain to remove when covered in juice. The version 2 are much easier to deal with. I did have to play with the air adjustment early on -- it was tight, but seemed to break in as time went along. Best feature to me is the complete lack of leaks since the air comes in from the side of the tank, the base you screw into the mod is completely solid. Since you don't suck air in via the 510 connection and with a solid base, there is no way for juice to get out the bottom. Nice...no flooding potential. Vapor cloud and flavor are above par to me...it does seem to be through juice much faster than any other BDC I have...which is I assume a factor in that big cloud.

More as I get into it, but so far, really so good.
