Davide Glassomize, Puritank, Protank 2 material comparison Stainless brass plated?

[veganvap]

Sorry if this has been covered. I did a quick search.

Seems the puritank is stainless. I read protank 1 is chrome plated brass which is probably the least healthy, but also just read it's stainless but not from a credible source. Not sure about protank 2 material, they might have changed since prototypes. Not sure about Davide glassomizer.

Also consider the gasket that goes over the coil head shaft. Protank 1 ones expand with acidic juices (pineapple, banana, citrus, cinnamon, etc) to the point that they're like jelly and 2 or 3x the size. They need to be reversed to not block the flow of juice to the coil.

I'll wait for reviews of these tanks before I buy, and maybe wait untill after the first batches are rushed out. My first protank 1 leaked from where the metal is glued to the glass so maybe some o-rings or something will be faulty on these first batches.



Next will probably be these encased in metal like kanger mt3s. Then hopefully a dual coil bottom coil glassomizer, then what? wickless? non-wire coil?

im pretty sure the Davide is chrome plated brass like the protank. not 100% sure though...

 

[veganvap]

does anyone know the right answer for post-prototypes being sent out?
Chrome or whatever it is rubs off the PT1 tip.

I just got my Dbox Puritank tank today and it is great. It is a very heavy solid tank. The mouthpiece has a little gasket around it where it goes on to the tank. That is the first time I have seen that. It is super easy to fill and didn't get a drop down the tube. no gurgling and no dry hits. I can report back more in a few days when I give it a better test of time. It sure beats the T3/T3S so far.

I have 2 davide glassomizers, I'm pretty sure It's chrome plated brass.
I also have 2 puritanks, they appear to be stainless. I could be wrong.

Protank is stainless. I run tank cracker juices through 'em all the time with no issues. Don't know where the OP is getting his info from, but there isn't any expansion of the rings or seals, either.

where did you get your davide's? and did the vendor offer the colored versions? i really want a smoked glass with black tank version...

Got mine through vaportekusa. Fastest shipping from any company I've ever used. Ecig stuff or otherwise.

 

[good_apollo]

Protank is not stainless. It's chrome plated brass. 2 of mine are starting to show the brass through.

 

[pandasku]

If they are stainless,
Absolutely the cost would be higher and higher.

I've never had the seals expand, only the rubber gasket that slides on the coil head shaft. With some juices it does that so bad it blocks the flow into the coil and needs to be turned upside down which still sometimes blocks it at which point I soak the gasket in water and alternate it with another one. This happens with ECBlend %100 organic banana, pineapple, and mints. Same problem when I DIY with some Nature's Flavors.

Stainless or not, it shouldn't crack no matter what juice if it's glass, it's just to not have the plating leach into the juice.

I'll google this better but am still pretty sure only the Puritank is stanless and the rest are plated which can be seen when it wears off at the tip. Things might have changed after the prototypes/1st batches though.

"Got mine through vaportekusa. Fastest shipping from any company I've ever used. Ecig stuff or otherwise." That's what I think about some places untill I realize they ship from only a state or two away.

i know for a stone cold fact the protank is NOT stainless, but chrome WASHED, not even plated. they are advertised as stainless, and from what ive gotten from dealers, they were under the impression they were stainless also as thats what kanger has told everyone, that is until those dealers actually checked them out themselves and found out the truth.

 

[veganvap]

I only just found out eventhough puritank might be stainless, it's glued together so, a) glue can leach into juice and might cause tank leaks like my first protank1 did, and b) can't change out the glass if it breaks. I could be wrong though about the puritank's glass tube not coming out like PT2 and davide's - There's so much misinformation in vaping - But, I heard it on a video and read it a few times that it's one-piece, so I'm voiding it out and chosing between PT2 and Davide since the glue VS chrome washed is basically a lose either way.


first port of this basically confirms %100 that both PT2 and Davide are chrome plated/washed brass. Someone scraped them with a knife.

Edit: I chose the davides. From what I gather, it holds a bit more than PT2 yet is almost the same size. Plus I'm a bit ...... at Kanger for letting the leaky PT1s circulate. I read someone having glue leak problems with a Puritank. Davide might also be a few dollars cheaper on average PT2.

This is probably the best deal for Davide Preorder $14.09 and $1.99 shipping.

I ordered 5. They only have 77 left on preorder.

this review says the Protank2 and mini protank2 are plated/washed on the outside, but the inside is stainless.
When I get my Davide, I'll scratch it on the inside and maybe outside and post if it's plated or stainless.

 

[veganvap]

I just got my davide. Scratched the inside and it is definitely plated/washed over brass.

The 510 drip tip is loose with 2 different tips I tried. They should have purposly made it small because tighter's better than loose.

the slots it gives you to put the juice into when refilling are too small and have to slowly drip thick juice or it will run into the air shaft. The slots are probably too small to allow a slow drip from a glass juice bottle that I usually use instead of plastic. The PT2 slots look to be larger. Not sure about the Puritank's design.

Like the PT1, I turned the rubber grommet gasket upside down that is on the coil head assembly which goes over the pin that snaps over the wick because it expands with most acidic juices and blocks the flow of juice into the wicks if not turned upside down.

Conclusion, if the PT2 is stainless on the inside which I'm almost certain it is, it wins over the other two new glassomizers even if it's 510 drip tip is too loose. The puritank is pretty much out of the picture due to the glue it uses that can leach or create leaks and also can't change the glass if it breaks or needs a good cleaning.

 

[veganvap]

another con about the davide is that the stock drip tip is so loose when the condesation of even a slightly acidic juice gets to it, that it pratically falls out if turned upside down.

...then what? wickless? non-wire coil?

Actually I have a concept in mind for just that. The current problem I am trying to work around is how to accomplish that with today's batteries.

 

[veganvap]

^ I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not. FWIW, they have ribbon kanthal people use for coils. I was thinking more like a plate/chip though for more surface area. A wickless could be a tank that has like a primer bulb you press to put just enough juice on the coil for a coupel of hits. Sort of like the box mods that have a 30ml bottle hidden inside the case. But best would be someting that bypasses using anything plastic like a primer bulb.

Will add that despite how I think the PT2's better than davide, that the davide's gasket over the coil head shaft (the shaft that snaps onto the coil after rebuilt) never expanded with all the juices I used that would cause the same gasket in PT1 to expand so much that they needed to be reversed upsidedown to not block the flow of juice. I don't know if they use the same gaskets in PT2, but I assume they are.

 

[ScottP]

Nope not being sarcastic. I have thought of a way to make it so the "coil" never touches either the "wick" or the juice. So no need to ever rebuild or change the coil. Just occasionally change the "wick". That said, there are some technical problems I have to get around with the current battery technology that we have today. It may not end up being technically possible. I will not say anymore than that.

Those comparing pyrex clearos might want to add the Smoktech ARO Pyrex Glass BCC to their list. Nice form factor and capacity, and likely less fragile than the PTII. Just got 2 in the mail today, and so far they're excellent. At $7.99 or less, I think these will be giving the EVOD and PTII some serious competition. Shown here at DiscountVapers:
