This tank has been hit or miss for me. I am running it on my MVP 2.0...My thicker juices with custard flavoring and heavy flavors come through really nicely, juices with higher PG seem to just completely leak and gurgle after a few puffs. I literally just filled to just under 2ML with blueberry (with a higher pg, I think 70/30), and couldn't really get the voltage and flavor right, and once I was getting close, I checked the fill lines and it had dropped to 1ML - floaded and all over my battery. When it does work I do get some nice flavor...Puffing on my Opus this morning was completely satisfying. The only downfall is that the draw seems to be way too airy...I actually have to inhale 3-ish times on the same "puff" to get good vapor production. Anybody else had problems like this? Is there a fix for the airy draw? If I am just running a crap tank, what would any of you recommend as a replacement? Don't want to spend an arm and a leg, but a local shop has an Aero on sale. Any help is greatly appreciated!

In my order of preference: (from most favorite downward)
AeroTank mega
Nautilus 5ml tank
eLeaf iJust 3.7ml

All three are variable air controlled and I use all of them as wide open as possible the majority of the time. First two are easy to adjust and I find myself moving the air valve slightly during the day, where as the eLeaf iJust tank needs a tiny screwdriver to adjust the air valve so it's sort of inconvenient for away from home vaping.

However, if you think the Iclear is an airy draw then maybe using one of the above mentioned at the smallest / tightest settings might work. I can't stand how tight they are on the smallest / tightest openings on the three tanks I listed. It's so tight that it will make me suck my denture right out of my mouth (well... almost )

I may have found an issue - I checked the base and there is no o-ring in it. Not sure if there is supposed to be one, because the tank still seals just fine when I use my Demonic e-juice, or really anything 50/50 or 60/40. I might try putting an o-ring in there and see if it helps. I have a feeling I will just be going to pick up something else. How is the flavor on an Aero?

For me the flavor is good. But it won't take a juice that has muted / muddied flavors and make them any better. I'm currently vaping almost exclusively a "Hot Cin" (which is a hot cinnamon candy sort of flavor) and so it's quite strong in cinnamon flavor and tastes quite full on my AT mega.

I'd have to say that both my AeroTank mega and the Nautilus 5ml (with either the BDC or BVC coils) has the same flavor, full and nice. The iJust tank doesn't seem to produce quite as much flavor so I use that when I still want my cinnamon flavor but don't want quite as much of it.

I used to vape the SpaceJam, first Andromeda and then Starship 1 and finally their Pluto flavor. Actually, I guess you could say that I'm still vaping the Pluto in my iJust tank as it's a biatch to clean out the small chimney tube. I soaked the whole tank (taken apart of course) for 2 days in a vodka bath, and then 2 more days in a denture cleanser bath and I still have this slight taste of Pluto on the first couple vapes in the morning. I guess you may as well mark that down as a negative on the iJust tank really.

Although we've got a couple bottles of Pluto, and a bottle of the Andromeda and starship 1, I just can't vape them anymore. There is a definite floral flavor to them and I'm not a fan at all of floral flavors, in each of their liquids. It was a floral flavor that I never tasted when trying the samples in the store but as soon as I put them into my own clean equipment the floral flavors came out. I'm still believing that it has to do with the stores sampling 0 nicotine liquids and my purchase of each of them in either 12 or 18mg nicotine.
