Favorite tank (consider price)

[lefty23]

So I've decided I'm fed up with the kanger protanks (they always taste either burnt or bland) and I'm wondering what everyone recommends for a tank (I'm looking for something that will hold at least 2.5ml) that's reliable and tasty. Appreciate your input, thanks.

I don't know if this helps, but my favorite clearos so far are definitely the evods. Also, I vape 100% VG, if that should be taken into account.

This little inexpensive gem is getting a nice following:

I also really like my Nautilus -- both mini (2.5 mil) and regular (5mil) with BVC coils. BVC coils are now being made with larger wicking holes and should work well with all VG liquid. Not so inexpensive, but very decent product.

IMHO both perform better than an Evod. Like anything YMMV.

Ok cool, I'll check out those two and give them a chance. Have you had any similar problems as me with the protanks? I don't know, maybe I'm doing something wrong but they just taste absolutely awful to me; like crazy burnt (it's all I can taste, so bad I literally can't vape it) even on very low voltage. Thanks for the advice.

100% VG is your problem; it just doesn't wick well in those small tanks...

 

[tearose50]

Getting a burnt taste means it's not wicking well enough. Either it's too slow to wick, or we're vaping too quickly.

And, I've sure experienced both. Clearo's have continued to improve and work on better wicking. Adding air flow helps too.

I never took to the popular Protank, though people have added air flow connections and love them still. Aspire and Evod were my first fairly successful tanks --and I don't use all VG. As the 2 I mentioned are vast improvements, I think you may take to them well. Of course, it could be a good idea to dilute your liquid with a drop (per tank) of distilled water to thin it out a bit, if you continue to have problems.

I vape low voltage and have had very very few problems with those 2 tanks and hear they can handle up to 15 or so watts and still wick well. Much to my surprise, I also like the Kanger Aero's, but I have no idea what their so called wattage limit is.

Ok great, thanks again guys, I don't know what I would do without these forums and all of your great advice.

 

[lefty23]

You're right, it's absolutely the wicking. I just looked at my bottles again and the tank that works fine is the one with 20/80 liquid in it, and here I thought it was the tanks and not the liquid. Well, at least now I know what the problem is. I'll just start ordering 20/80 or 30/70. I just wish I hadn't just ordered $70 worth of 100% VG liquid. Oh well, live and learn I guess.

On the cheap?

A Innokin Iclear 30B.

I have used them with 100% VG with no problems.

You can fix that thick e-liquid with something like Halo's Fusion. It is nic base heavy in PG...

Ok cool, I'm going to snatch up a couple of those itanks now for my 100% VG stuff, since I already have so much of it. You guys are great.

Favorite tank (consider price)

Ego One 2.5ml tank $15. Superb little performer.
For 100% VG though consider the Delta. It has liquid control heads.

 

[LisaR]

You could just add a little PGA or distilled water to thin your liquid. Start with just a couple of drops, though. You can always add more, but you can't take it out again!

I get good taste out of my Kanger Nano but I vape 50/50 or 40/60 vg. But I get most flavor from my Delta II tank. Haven't tried anything other then nano and delta II. And with the Delta II coils you can open up the liquid control all the way to open so you can pull higher vg percentage through it better

Got my iclear 30bs in the mail today and am vaping my favorite liquid out of them right now; so far they're working great, thanks a million for the suggestion Eric. And I definitely plan on checking out the rest of the recommendations you guys all gave as well. I can't thank you enough for all of your help, it's great to finally know that my tanks aren't bad or useless. I'm not particularly attached to 100% VG, I just prefer the hits from mostly VG liquid, but 30/70 is just fine for me and it's nice to know I'll be able to use all those expensive tanks after all. You guys rule, keep up the great work. Hopefully one day I'll be of some use to some noobs thanks to the wealth of knowledge I've gathered here.

The eleaf gs air is an amazing tank, great flavor and a hell of a price. I got 9 days out of my last coil chain vaping like a fool, 4-5 tankfuls a day!

 

[Gowanus]

I second the ego one. performer for 16 bucks.

Glad you like it.

A few tips on the 30B:

Don't fill it all the way up. It will leak and gurgle and spit and whatnot.

The tank and the threads are plastic, Be firm but gentle.

Check the 510 pin on your device every now and then, Sometimes they leak a tiny bit from there.

The black stripes will wear off easily, They are painted or silk screened or something.

At the price and performance they are great for when out and about, No worries should one break.

With 100% VG I like the 1.5ohm coils the best.

I want to thank you all again for the advice, especially Eric, those tips have saved me a lot frustration. You guys are great.
