Is the IKV DBOX PuriTank better than the Protank ?

[starwatching]

DBox vs Protank size comparison.

How much are the heads?

 

[New2vaps]

The heads are EVOD heads, you can get a 5 pack for $6

 

[JaneinMesa]

Are they rebuildable?

I'm actually using one right now. When I get back to my pc ill type up something more substantial.

So, back to the PC! In short, I like it. Whether or not you like it will depend on why you don't like the protank. if you don't like the airy draw, use EVOD coils, it tightens it right up. If you don't like the look, the IKV fixes it. I think it looks great, especially with the included drip tip. It is a little long, and if you're using an 18350 size mod or an ego battery it will look a little off, just like it would on an eGO type battery. But it looks great on 18650 size mods. My wife and I use them on Provaris, my brother and sister use them on the VAMO. No air flow problems due to cut channels in the bottom cap, so you can flush mount to your hearts content. The glass seems nice and solid, and has survived all my inadvertent drop tests(wood, linoleum, tile).

In closing, if the protank performance is bothering you in a way that EVOD coils won't fix, don't buy. If the EVOD coils will fix it, but you're not a fan of the protank look, the IKV is the way to go. Highly recommend, and I actually have 2 more on order since I like them so much.


Happy vaping!

. I very much want to try it! I can't wait to get one! Do you know who has then in stock in US? Thank you! Cheryl. (che170)

i've also found a few US sites that sell them but, they're all out of stock??? time to crank up production i would say

 

[jfountain2]

I just order one from DBox PuriTank - Glass Tank and it lists their current stock at 234 units..... better hurry if you want one.

 

[nelsonm64]

217 left. ordered one but shipping is almost as much as the tank haha. ohwell, gotta have one

 

[MrFurious]

We've tried a couple and really like them. Thanks to "jfountain2" mentioning the place that had some still we ordered 4 more. Cannot find them local anymore.

 

[hazozita]

Thanks jfountain2! I saw these a while back on the Ikenvape site and they looked really interesting, but have never been in stock so I could order one. Appreciate the link to Discount Vapors -- one is on its way to me (and probably will get here this week -- DV is pretty speedy when it comes to shipping).

 

[jfountain2]

DV is down to 167 of them now.... glad mine's already shipped!

Wish I could get a plastic tank since I only use tobacco flavors and I'm afraid I'd break the glass.

Bet ya couldn't break a Tatroe Tank.... solid stainless steel

I started this thread about 3weeks ago. I would like to answer my own question. Yes, the puritank is MUCH better than the protank on all levels.

 

[lorikay13]

OK...I'm on board for the Tatro tank....LOVE stainless steel. Question is.....can you use Evod coil/atty or do you have to use ProTank stuff?

Thanks for the Puri reviews and info...want to try one of them too if anyone ever has any. Has anyone tried the Raven nested tanks from GotVapes? I really really really love the nested concept...but have had only bad luck with the Raven cartos. If anyone has any tips for using those cartos I would love to hear it!

haha..ok I answered my own question. If anyone else is interested in these...here's the info:

Uses the Kanger Protank or Evod Coils

We have designed a USA version of the Kanger Protank bottom cap, the " Tatroe Tank Cap" made out of stainless steel. This is not the only change we made with this, we also created the cap to have a slightly tighter air draw. This new USA Tatroe tank cap will also have a lifetime warranty.

CHEERS!!

While I'm waiting for the Puri to arrive, found out that there's going to be a new Protank coming out soon:

GrimmGreenIndustries - Hey guys, Bnormous back at it today and finally...

Looks interesting, especially the ability to use any drip tip on it.

now we're talkin'. looking forward to these!

 

[lorikay13]

That looks like a nice piece. But I wonder if they address the airflow issue? Even with two of the air inlets blocked off I find my ProTank is just toooo airy.

Btw....CigTech just put some Tatroe tanks back in stock last night.I'm only telling you because I already got mine...LOL

 

[jfountain2]

Size comparison.... for those interested, below are the Kanger ProTank, Tatroe Tank, and DBox PuriTank side by side on matching eVic's

I have only had the DBox and Tatroe for abour an hour so no real comparisons on vape etc yet.... but they are both very well made.

 

[hazozita]

Got my dbox puritank today, and so far so good. It has less of an airy draw than the Protank, which was my major complaint with it. The draw on the dbox is still what I would describe as airy, but less so than the Protank. Decent flavor. Build quality is quite good -- feels sturdy and nicely machined. The drip tip is nice as well, even though I don't normally care for metal tips.

Keeps up with my chain vaping without any dry hits whatsoever.

I'm going to pick up some evod heads since I've heard that using those will tighten the draw a bit. But so far, very pleased.

So, my answer to the OP's title to this thread: yes, I think the Dbox Puritank IS better than the Protank!
