I also use the Smoktech ARO's. However, I buy Kanger T3S/MT3S heads for them. I do this for two reasons, first the new Kanger heads use a silicone grommet instead of rubber for a better taste, and second the slightly smaller wick hole works better for my rebuilds than the standard ARO heads.
I loved my evods. all 4 of them. but I broke one traveling, and the other 3 I melted the glue on from washing with too hot of water. Thats what I think happened anyway, eventually liquid started leaking out around the edges of the see through part.
I got a few PT2 minis (I too like to switch juice often) after a friend recommended them. The pull is MUCH airier, but I'm used to it now. Low maintenance, no leaking, big win
One of my first clearos was a vivi nova. I like it, but it didn't sit well on the egos so I only used it occasionally. Picked up a APV this week, so its getting much more use now! I put my ADV in there and fill it twice a day. I still use the PT2 minis, and fill them just as often.
Make sure you dry burn your coils (not with cotton) because this cleans the coil and will allow it to last MUCH longer. There are tons of threads and videos on it online, so I'll leave that to them.
Are you talking about the pyrex-and-metal AROs, or the plastic-and-polycarbonate AROs? I got one of the first run of the pyrex AROs and
it accepted Kanger heads, but after I bought a few more after liking the first ones so much,
I found that later production runs seem to only accept Smok heads
- the metal ring at the base is a little narrower than the Kanger heads,
so they won't quite fit in when I try to thread the base into the tank. Are you grinding them down?
did you try the protank/evod coils (maybe try T3S coils)
the T3S coils are 'just' different enuff maybe they will fit
T3S coils will fit in all kanger bcc's, but not vise-versa (excluding bdc) (what I use)
there is a 'lip' inside the T3S tank that does not allow the bigger coil to insert
kanger is changing these all the time, which would make economic sense;
make one coil and perfect it in QC...

Hmmm...I wasn't aware that the T3s coils were different than other Kanger coils - I've never owned anything T3 styled. While I'd be tempted to try, at this point I've got a year-plus worth of Evod/Protank coils for me and the wife that won't go into the Aros, and since I have no T3-type tanks I'll probably just order legit Smok replacements - but this could be good info for others who want to try the Aros and have some T3 coils handy.
EDIT: Viewing your link, the metal ring at the base does indeed look smaller - still a bit wary about taking a chance, though since I have yet to find Smok coils for less than $1.50 (and they're usually out of stock), desperation may set in soon. Thanks for the potential alternative solution!
