Favorite Tank for Provari?

I have a mini, and have been pro Kanger for a long time with it, but I'm honestly starting to have a lot of issues with the Kanger tanks, and frankly I'm just tired of it. It makes me want to just throw them all away. I screw them on, same as I always did and then I literally can't pull. It's like sucking on a metal stick with no airholes, and it has to be very loose and wobbly for it to even work and then it gurgles and almost always I get a mouthful of juice.

DONE WITH KANGER.

What all do you use on your Provari that you enjoy? I do have a mech mod, so although I know you CAN put a dripper on it, I would rather not. I use the Provari at work or when driving, when dripping is not convinient. I just want something that's no fuss, easy to use and produces a great flavor. I've tried vivi nova and was not a fan there either.

I need ideas! Willing to spend some money, if I have to.

The best no fuss tank for the Provari is a Carto tank... and now I have oh... a LOT of carto tanks and I can tell you that the real difference between them is only the width of the barrel, the thickness of the glass and your preference in cap styles and decorations.

Internally, you can go with a rebuildable like the Diver or the Sophia, or, for the least fuss, regular cartos, like smoktech, Bogos, or Ikenvapes.

There is a small learning curve to using them, but after you get used to priming (NEVER fire a carto until it's fully saturated or it will be gross til it dies after you burn the dry cotton stuffing around the coil), and changing them out on your tank of choice (this also takes getting used to, due to the necessary tightness of the carto on the inner o-ring).

That's your best 'starting' point with the Provari, and may be the end point for you. I think the Pro-tank 2 is pretty awful relative to a lot of the other choices out there... (I have one). HOWEVER, if you are a lung hitter, you may like the airier and less saturated vape (I think lung hitter vapers are the ones most in love with the ProTanks).

If you like rebuilding... the easiest and nicest is the Kayfun (all it's renditions).

If you really love teeny expensive tank heads like the Protank type, the best 'deal' out there is a Vivi Nova Stainless/Glass version BDC (cannot be fully screwed down to the Provari, but a 1/4 turn for airflow is all you need and they are fine). The BDC heads are great, but pricey. The upside is that these are interchangeable with the Aspire Davide and the ET-S ego threaded glass tanks too (make sure they are BDC). All of these are terrific vapes:).

How about a Tatroe.

Tatroe Tank 3.2ML Smooth

Or maybe a sphereoid rebuildable:

The sphereoid, by the way is the only topper I've come accross, so far, who boasts of an FDA approved anything, in this case insulator rings or something.

I got a carto at the shop down the street. It was cheap at $12, and will be perfect for what I am needing it for; which is just to take to work. I have a Hero with a Patriot on it to drip at home or anywhere else that it is convenient. I also have a Kraken on the way, which I may try out, but for now, at least in the short term. I'm set!

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions. I'm going to look into a lot of the links everyone gave. :D

I use mostly carto tanks, many different types and brands.

Lately I have been playing around with the Aspire Vivi Nova BDC glass clearomisers. They are dual bottom coil replaceable heads, much like, but different than the Kangar heads. They look like they could have the same draw problems than the Kangars, but they don't.
They vape really well and taste really good. But they taste different than the cartos.
They also look pretty good on a Provari.

A carto tank or a Kayfun Lite on a Provari for me is pure vaping bliss. Easy to set the toppers up and you are set for a long while. Many quality tanks abound. My two favorites for fit and finish are the Kir Fanis and the IB tanked. As far as the Kayfun Lite I have found the Tobeco clone to be excellent quality for an inexpensive clone.

I've got a Kayfun Lite clone on order. I've heard good things about them.

Don't throw away your Kanger stuff, I'll take it all! I'll even pay for shipping. I love Kanger products - Evods, M3's, ProTanks, equal Vaping Nirvana for me.

For me my favorite is the kayfun lite + Best flavor and vapor production.
2nd is the kanger protank two with a 30 gauge microcoil at 1.6 ohms and cotton
3rd davide tank same as protank but I seem to like the kanger better. It may just be an appearance thing and my drip tips fit the kanger better.
4th ibtanked - I love the quality but not sure if cartos are for me. I haven't given up on them yet.

How would a Vivi Nova Mini work?

Poorly. They tend to leak if they get bumped. I would stay away from just about all of Vision's products. Except perhaps the Vision Eternity RBA. It's not good, but unlike the other Vision products, not horrible. (my opinion)

They really work fine, until they don't, changing juice is messy, changing heads is messy, if you wind up with a clone, there's a high probability that real vision replacement atty heads won't work on it and vice versa.

I've heard people say that the The Odysseus by GG, is practically a Permanent Vivi Nova with all of the faults fixed (ditto for the Terminator-C RBA).

The Smok Vivi Tank was actually a very nice bit of kit. It only lasted about a month before I broke it, but it produced a very nice vape. It was one of the easier rebuildables to use too.

The ASPIRE Vivi Nova BDC GLASS version is phenomenal (no idea about Vision... don't have any of those). However, you must not screw them down all the way. There's coops in progress almost all the time that bring the prices down substantially (like $5 for a glass/stainless tank), and in my 2 coop experiences, they filled up and shipped very quickly (roughly 1-2 weeks). The Davide's pretty good too, but I'd rank it between ProTank and Vivi Nova BDC (always get glass if you can, to avoid potentially vaping melted plastic if you end up with a juice that might crack it).

Iv been a nova fan for long time just cause I could rebuild them. Then a little bit back I tried kanger 2s which I like still but now I use a kayfun 3.1 and love it. Now as far as the problem of no air draw I get that on mine and found that smoke I think it is makes replacement coils for the kanger and that seems to fix the no air problem most of time.
