Bad News: The Aro Tank

[Huckleberried]

I have one of these, too. Holds 3mls. I've changed the heads without issue. Took the head apart, did a dry burn, put it back together, no issue. The only issue I have had with this one is that when it gets about halfway through, it does leak. I like my protank (and mini) better, but it's not too bad..... if I keep it above half full. Someone did suggest I add an addition flavor wick for that, just to see. Haven't done that yet, though.

Well, the fact that my 2nd head is absolutely stuck on the base, and that the top column came off when I kept trying to twist it off, yet won't go back on, is making it very difficult to get the head off of the base - I was soaking my 3rd (new) head in alcohol then distilled water to see if it would clean up any coating that may be preventing good wicking, but I'm at a dead end.

I'll be getting some pliers later on though, so hopefully I can figure it out. For what it's worth, the juice I tested on the Aro ended up giving me problems even in the best devices, so I'll try another, cross my fingers, and see if I can get this last head to work. In all reality, despite the weird horrors of this tank and its heads, the smoktech coils actually look wound around the wick better than any kanger ones I've seen.

That's odd,

I've been using my Aro pyrex tanks for over 2 months and they don't leak, don't burn unless I crank it and it is less airy than a Pro Tank. They remind me of an EVOD with higher flow (more vapor) the heads last a little longer and being pyrex, no worries about tank cracking.

You burn the wicks on Aspires and Aro tanks--I think you are cursed!

With that I prefer the Aro over the EVOD and Pro Tank--but might move on to a pyrex Aspire tank next--then a rebuildable tank atomizer stuffed with dual coils and cotton. I use tanks on Mechs since I tend to drop/break things--we are all cursed in one way or another.

Thats so weird, just goes to show that everyone has different experiences I guess. I actually PREFER the Aro tanks now.. I just bought two more, one is a pyrex and I absolutely love it.

You should try the Pyrex Bottom Coil Tank from Smok....it's the next line of Aro, but it is a tank that holds 5 mil of juice. I did a review on it, and you can see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jJnqyWgVXQ

These tanks are being bought whole sale by vendors from all kinds of different overseas wholesale sites. The aro tank I got was a good tank and had company logo on it as well. Vendors should reveal where they purchase their products from and if they are originals or not.Another thing about these tanks is that you must let it sit and soak awhile before using if not you will get burnt taste for sure. Never let them go below a third full either or they will leak all brands suffer from this. One day someone will find a way to fix this issue then all will be right with the world.

My Aro doesn't leak at all and I vape mine near empty. I haven't had any burnt taste after vaping at least 10 refills at 7 watts
