Different experiences by different folks for sure. A protank was the first I purchased and it has been the easiest and most trouble free juice delivery device I have used...not that I have used much as I am a relative newbie.
With my genuine protank (not a copy) I have had NO flooding problems and just an occasional dry hit especially after filling up, but it's rare. I've been getting 3-4 weeks out of each head and they are cheap and very easy to replace.
I purchased a Vivi Nova copy (aClear) that was highly recommended by a local vape shop - they said it was better than the original - needless to say I don't trust these guys anymore as it is a piece of garbage. Doesn't wick that well, it is fiddly, and frankly neither my Vamo nor my SVD will even read the resistance anymore with it. Again it's a copy and a big smelly turd.
As long you as know and understand what the slight limitations are to a Protank it is a solid and hassle free device. Key points - 1) Don't fill too much - my opinion is that it needs a bit of air in the tank to wick properly. This is really only a problem if you chain vape. Fill to just below the top of the glass when it's upright. 2) With new heads it takes a day or two to start wicking 100% and the taste will also improve. 3) Don't let the juice level get too low or you may get gurgling or flooding. Anything less than 1/8" left and it's time to refill.
That's it for my protank user guide It may sound like the protank is fiddly but that is so far from the truth. It is a very solid device, economical, and easy to use. Again unless you chain vape, point 1 can be ignored.
...but the top coil clearo's rarely gave me mouthfuls of juice or incessant gurgles like my bcc's did before I learned to equalize pressure and build the wicks just right.
One other thing I would much appreciate is some suggestions on what type or brand clearos go great with the vamo V3. From those of you that own 1 and have found what works best from your experience through trial and error. Keep in mind that I will be getting a Kanger Protank but would like to try others too.
Oh, and Liquids! I don't know where to even start. I'm looking for something close to a light cig taste. like camel lights but any tobacco-ish flavor that is good or popular will do. Some names of flavors and where I can get them would be great.
I'd just pick up better batteries elsewhere and keep the ones with the kit as backups, never hurts to have spares in case you run out of charge on the run. If you post a link of what kit you ordered I'm sure we can help answer your questions about the charger as well.
For eliquids, I'm not much of a tobacco liquid user, but I have RY4 on order from High Desert Vapes and once it shows up I'll come back and comment on its taste if I think about it. I used to smoke Camel Wides in college, so if I had to guess, I don't expect the RY4 to be similar at all, but hopefully better. If you're dead set on a Camel-type juice, look for Sahara (Don't remember company on this one), V2's Desert Joe, or the Halo Turkish blend, I've heard good things about all three. Also MFS has Desert Ship, but reviews are mixed.
I agree...
also consider Alien Vision's Boba's Bounty and Nashville Vapor's Master Blend
Can you share that wisdom? I am still getting gurgling. What do you recommend for wick building?
