Carto/Clearo/Tank suggestions for a newbie.

[Peti650]

I'm a heavy chain vaper. The 1st 2 clearo's I got which was about a week ago are Ego-T clearos. 1 is already done after 2 days of chain vaping. I am not very knowledgeable with what different tanks/cartos/atty's that are out there. What tank's are good for someone like me who vapes heavy every day. I need an atty that is heavy duty that will last me a long long time. My cousin who has been vaping for a while. Told me to get a Kanger mini pro tank 2. Suggestions? The batteries I have are 2 Ego-T 900mah batteries.

I really like my Protank 2. A lot of people have had problems with them, but a lot of people also thoroughly enjoy them.

When I bought it new with the included coil head, I thought it performed very well, offering better flavor and vapor than my iClear 30s. The factory-made coils were only lasting me about a week though, so I started rebuilding them. Much cheaper than replacing them, and it performs MUCH better with a microcoil and cotton wicking.

I'd say it's almost as nice in vape quality as my dripper, which is nothing fancy either, just an IGO-L.

The coil itself lasts for a long time (haven't burned one out yet) but I need to replace the cotton in it every 5 or so days. Before my dripper, I was having to change the cotton every day/day and a half.

Nautalis and Kanger Aero have been very good to me. No leaks, no floods.

I have a Protank 2, and I wouldn't recommend it. Flavor and vapor are inconsistent, coils burn out too frequently and it eats battery power like crazy.

My recommendations: Innokin clearos. The iclear 16 is great, as is the iClear 30s. My only complaint about the 30s is the slightly metallic feel and flavor.

Thanks, Ocey.

Vaping can be considered a journey in finding the setup which works best for you as an individual. No one setup works best for everyone, and that is the reason that there are so many models on the market. If they didn't all work for some, they wouldn't be around for long. What works for some, won't work for others. It's hit or miss, trial by error.

I don't blame you asking for other's opinions on what to try. Doing so will give you information on what is on the market and what has worked for certain individuals. However, that's no guarantee that it will work for you and meet your expectations.

Advice? Set aside a monthly budget to try different attachments every month until you find something which works for you. Do your research here on the forum and watch YouTube videos for reviews and demos of products you are interested in to make an educated and informed decision of what is the best out there to try.

The best I've found in my [short] vaping adventure is the Aspire Nautilus. I also have a Kanger ProTank2 which has been a bad experience. Only after buying another component was it serviceable. I would avoid. I also like a Carto I recently got from Ibtanked.

If the size your looking for is the mini protank, then go for the mini protank. If you want bigger, I personally do recommend the Protank II, but I have had my issues with it. If your handy enough, it is possible to rebuild PT2 coils with cotton and then you can get a really nice experience out of it, but it takes some work. Myself, I have had no luck with any of the Iclear series, and I've tried the Iclear 30, 30s and 30B. Didn't care for any of them because I couldn't get any of them to work. 30B was the best of the 3, but the draw was very very tight. I'm a genesis/kayfun user though which would just look silly on your batteries haha. If you have a multimeter, you could get an AGA-S, which is a rebuildable that looks decent on your batteries, but their heavy. My wife has one on a Vision Spinner. Good vape, but leaky if you leave it on its side.

Go for the mini protank. Its a surprisingly good vape from such a small atty

If your a heavy chain vaper your going to have issues with any tank you try. For me the best set up has been the Kanger protank (mini2 or regular pt2) with a 2.2 ohm coil. I'm liking the new aerotanks I have but my protanks are still my goto tanks. I chain vape a lot and my heads last me 3-6 tanks depending on VG level of the juice. I have yet to rebuild a head mainly because I haven't had a coil go bad yet in the 6 months I've been using PT's. Pull the wicks, dry burn the coil, rewick with cotton or good silica (german or ekowool) and our good to go again.

I use a Pro tank 3 with air control base and I vape heavy also. I've also had great success with Kangers T3s... Both of those devices can tolerate my chain vaping without giving me a dry hit. YMMV, Dave​

 

[Jeremiah Lawrence]

Manager pro mini 2 are solid the pro 3 sucks bad can't get mine to quit leaking

 

[Jeremiah Lawrence]

Damn you auto correct! Kanger*

 

[Jeremiah Lawrence]

iclears are good but leak and flood if laid on their side full

I have unfortunately never had any luck with iclears. I've vaped on other peoples Iclears that were a nice vape, but never had luck myself

I am glad this post is here. I am trying to find a good clearomizer I have the evod batteries with the 510 threads. I want a good top fill clearomizer. Or I can go with a bottom fill if it hits good. Any suggestions

 

[jwoode]

I use a fleet of protank 3, protank mini 2, aero tank, and iclear X.1

I don't know why they all work very well for me.. but they do.. I might be magic.

Its funny how each tank works differently for each person. I myself have one of each iclear 30 tank made and the xi. Love them all and have had no issues. Only one I dont care for is the 30b. But no leaks. No flooding and decent quality of vapor and taste. I am going to try the nautilus and areo tank some day when I get around to it.

Carto tanks are always consistent and I've never got dry hits once I learned how to properly prime them. It depends on your juice if you need single, dual punched or slotted. Look up baditude's blog on cartons and you will be a pro in no time

 

[Laurlkat]

I like the protank 2, my husband swears by the nautilus tanks. We both started vaping within the last month.

I like the Aspire BDC clearos. They're technically a step down from the Nautilus, but I like the draw, so don't need an airflow control, the heads are cheaper, and the heads are interchangeable on several different tank sizes.
