I've been using an AGA T2 for awhile. Works well for me, though you have to build your own coils. Tried a ProTank 2 just to get the glass tank. Had poor draw on my PV and quite a bit of flooding -- into the emergency/give away/junk box! A kayfun clone also works for me but no glass tank I'm afraid to say.

For a top coil glass clearo your options will be limited. I know Vision do a glass and metal vivi nova Glass Vision V-Fate Nova Tank - 3.5ml and of course there is a smoktech version as well which can be found SmokTech Pyrex 3.5ml ViVi Nova Tank

I've not used either of them so I can't recommend them particularly - other than to say when I used clearos, I had a lot of joy with the genuine vision vivi novas and saw a lot of people complaining about leaking with the smoktech versions.

Thanks for the feed back every one.
Currently ive been using smoktech pbc v2- not warm enough
The kumiho itank- love it but no airflow on my provari, might look for an airflow adapter
Protank2- im practicing recoiling these...

These all take the kanger universal coils and i keep getting random dry hits.
And some of them arent warm enough for me. Cant seem to feel my vape.

I just today gave up on my cartotanks, which i had been using succesfully for a month, but i think i have too many flavors in rotation now., seems if the juice sits for a day its ruining my carto.

So i will look at a couple of the tanks listed here and see if i can find a winner.

Right now my go to tank is a knock off $3 tank from chinabuye! Fasttech has them too, but they arent glass and they are ego threaded and i want 510 preferably. Again uses the protank heads.

The bottom coils seem like a good idea but its either not warm enough or i get too manny bad hits

Recoil those kanger coils with some 30g kanthal and cotton. I use a syringe needle and about 3-1/2" of wire and with the cotton they perform better than the new ones. I don't bother to dry burn them before wicking, this is just hard on the silicone. I do several at a time, it's pretty easy after you get the hang of it. Some people re-wick after a while, but recoiling is so cheap, I don't see why not just put in a new coil. There is plenty of vids on youtube if you are not sure. I like how the new rebuilds work, depending on your juice you should get 5-10mls worth out of them before they drop off. I run pretty dark DIY through them so they take a beating. If you do it right its pure flavor, tons of vapor and no dry burns or leaks. I'm using a VAMO currently at 10-12 watts.

i've been practicing the rebuilds of the protank coils.
buuut, what ever i'm doing i'm not sure i get hot popping juice in my mouth, last night i burnt the top of my mouth,
just a swollen bump that's gone today.
now i'm trying to figure out why that happens to me.
are you doing them so that the coils touch or spread out?
i have been trying to get them as close together as possible, but my juice is popping from the middle of the coil.
not sure but now i'm leary because that juice is uncomfortable hot when it pops
