We really like the Evod Glass tanks. They have more protection than the Protank 2 Minis in case of accidents, and, for us, they are a lot less "fiddly". We have only broken one, when my daughter's fell onto the concrete driveway. We like the flavor, and are happy with the vapor production.
The workaround we used is simple - we got Protank 2 Mini bases, and switched out the base that comes with the Evod Glass for the Protank base. We had no problems at all doing this, although I did see that other ECF members had issues when they tried it. I don't know what we were doing different, but we did it that way for over a year with no problems.
