Back Into Vaping Whats The Best Tank Now?

[BADxSANTA]

Hi all,

Just getting back into vaping after a very long break, I own a Provari which I love and still works after sitting in a box for a year.
I'm just wondering if there have been any improvements in tank systems and if so which one would work well with my Pro, I was using a TW 3ml tank before.
Thanks
Adam

There are all sorts of tanks now. The most popular budget style tank is a DCT (Dual Coil Tank), that uses a cartomizer with a hole punched in the casing running down the center. That lead to all sorts of different tanks, that are basically the same.

If you want something more fidgety with a steep learning curve, I suggest that you look into rebuildable atomizers. They're not really for newbies, but I'm assuming that you're not so, since you've got a ProVari sitting in your closet.

I've got to agree with Xaiver here- There have been a lot of improvements lately.

The DCT is among the biggest improvements out there. I've been using a few of them successfully for awhile, and there are also tanks for single-coil cartos out there as well. Prices range from $6-8 and up for the plastic ones up to $50+ for Glass or small-production-run units.

**Edit: I was unaware of the V1 version of the provari having a 2.5 amp switch. If you have the V1, I cannot recommend the DCT's unless you swap the dual coil carto out with an XL single coil. Thanks to TJ and his post below for pointing that out!**

Phiniac is the name-brand glass-tank maker. Smoktech makes the cheap DCT's that most people have been using.

For the cutting-edge, the Genesis-style tanks are just starting to be a mass-produced item. They can be expensive and hard-to-get (read: LONG waiting list/SHORT stock times). provape.com will be stocking the Z-atty Pro, which is a Genesis-style made to go with your Provari, and here is a message from their subforum:

"These will go on sale next week for $149.95. Estimated for Tuesday at 1pm pst. We will have a limited number of units available."

I would say conservatively that they will sell out within the hour that they are released, probably sooner.

The new DID clone is the most cost-effective and easiest way to get into Gen style systems. It is probably the first mass-produced unit of its kind. I would get on the list in the co-ops to get one at a great price (I paid $9.82 for mine a few days ago), or check out discountvapers for a reasonable price and less wait-time (they claim they will be in stock very soon @ $25).

The genesis systems have a learning curve, but tutorials are easy to find both here on the forums and on youtube.

Best of luck, Happy Vaping!! Congrats on your return- and Provari's are still one of the best units available, so you made a great choice there!

That DCT is the reason that there is now a V2 of the Provari. Your V1 with it's 2.5 Amp limit will not power them properly. You will just get a bunch of "E2" error messages with them. I still feel that a J-tank, or like normal carto tank, with a 3ohm carto is a far better choice. The ViVi Nova tank (rebuildable CE4) is also quite popular these days. You can send your Provari to Provape and have it upgraded to a V2 with the 3.5 Amp limit if you think you would like to play with dual coil tanks however.
