I have a lot of clearos and my favorite is the Mini Protank 2. It's just easy to work with. The size allows me to take 2 tanks out with different flavors and just swap them. Since I build my own nano coils with Kanthal/cotton, I have no issues with gurgles, dry hits, nothing! Just pure performance as long as I use my own coils. When I'm at home, I like to drip so I don't use much clearos. The closest I get to a clearo at home is the Kayfun.

Evods are my favorites except they just don't hold enough. For the last month I've been using a Vision Victory tank. It uses evod coils and holds 5 mil...I like it a lot as well...just about the same as the evod...especially for home. I have a unitank coming this weekend, so you never know.

My wife only uses Kanger T2s...go figure.

It occurred to me today I'm not a huge fan of my Aerotank, I definitely like my mpt2 much better. I haven't given up on the Aerotank yet, but am feeling a bit of disappointment. Especially since it sat for awhile today and when I started using it all I got was gurgles. I've had no issues with my mpt2. I need to either come to terms with this Aerotank or find something else to sit on my Provari when it gets here. Maybe the new drip tip I have coming will help me love it more... or something

Have 1 protank-ii and 2 protank-ii minis. Bought the 2.5ml b4 the minis but I'm starting to really like these minis now that my protank-ii is broken. I need a new base, I'm pretty sure that I broke a thread or two due to being a ......

I like my minis coupled with 1300 mah batteries. I fill both of them up in the morning and take both with me wherever I go because that's how my backing up really works (not one on the go and one at home but both on the go ^_^)
This - I always have two complete out-and-about setups. For one, a battery could die. For another, I could break a tank or vape it dry. But I probably won't kill two batteries AND two tanks in a single outing.
Between the wife and I we have 7 total ARO's from two different sources and at least 3 different production runs. These are the Pyrex ones. We use exclusively the T3S/MT3S heads with them and they work fine. We prefer those since they use the new silicone grommet instead of the old rubber grommets. Also they have a smaller wick hole that works better with my rebuilds.

For what it's worth, we also have a couple of EVODs and the EVOD heads do not fit in the AROs but the T3S/MT3S heads do fit both the EVODs and the AROs.
Thanks so much for the clarification and assurance - I very well may have gotten a T3s head in one of my Evods and thought that was why I could stick it in the ARO. Regardless, wife will be incredibly stoked on this news - the AROs are by far her favorite, if it were up to her she'd have one topping every one of her batteries, were it not for our depleted head supply (not rebuilding yet). I'm going to grab some T3s heads tomorrow...

when you grab some coils, also grab some silica wick (very cheap)
that way you can take old fouled coils apart to just clean and dry burn,
stick a new piece of flavor wick in -- good as new (refurbished not rebuilt)

- High Quality Silica Wick - Lightning Vapes

I thought I loved EVODS...so I bought 4 more.. I can't get any of them to work worth a damn, even with cotton wicks. They are flooded, dripping onto my battery, mouth juice, hard draw, no draw.. My cotton wicks should be the perfect size, I think i've watched every video out there.. still no luck. I get one working for a short blip then it starts all over again. I don't even use them now and I have 6 less than a month old and a stockple of new heads. I wish I could figure them out, I do want to like them. The first 2 worked great, for awhile. The next 4 not at all. Ugh.

Aspire ET-S glassomizer - Thee sexiest looking clearo. Best flavor maker. Wayyy too tight of a draw for me though! Cannot rebuild $2 heads. Tank holds more then the EVOD.

EVOD - My favorite for flavor/production. Only complaint is the plastic tips I keep chewing to shreds and the small juice capacity. I always recommend these to people over any clearo. Great price for tank/heads. Rebuild with microcoil!

Protank1 - Nice big tank but theres not many mods that sit flush with it. On the airy side but still puts out clouds.

Mini Protank - Looks amazing. On the taller side. Its glass. Hits amazing but the EVOD has a little bit better vapor production imo.

CE's - Dont stand a chance against Kangers stuff.


I vote :2c:EVOD:2c:

Try the Smoktec ARO but use the Kanger T3S/MT3S heads in it. It's basically a 4ml metal and pyrex version of the EVOD, so it performs well, holds more, and is safe for all juices. Win, Win, Win.

What kind of cotton are you using? Peaches and Cream cotton yarn should be perfect for most people, but if you are using loose cotton you may need more. Also how much wicking you need in the hole may vary slightly from person to person based on hard they draw (suck). If you draw too hard you will suck more juice into the wick than the coil can vaporize and the excess drips into the air hole. To fix this you can try adding some flavor wick on top of the coil to pack the wick hole tighter, reducing your draw, and possibly turning up the voltage to vaporize the juice faster. This is true of ALL BCC devices since they all work on the same basic vacuum principal.

I'm using loose organic cotton. I roll the wicks to the size that they just are able to pass thru the coil without hardly touching. I used them on my ITVV3 and tried 6-9 watts. Same problem. I will try to add a little on top to see if that makes a difference. If it is wick size that's the issue, is it more likely that the wicks are too small or too big? Also, the juices I use are either 50/50 up to 100VG. What mix to EVODS prefer?
