currently I am vaping using an ego 650mAh battery along with a T2 atomizer. Theses two are the only atomzier and battery I have and I want to order another battery and atomizer for backup. I've heard a lot about the protank but I hear they can be a hassel, one of my friends bough the protank and he said when he tryed it the tank became so hot that it shorted out his battery. I'm just looking for a reliable tank that produces superior vapor.

I don't know what really happened with your friend's setup. The lowest resistance pre-made coils for these things is 1.8 ohms. I've put a PT with a 1.8 ohm coil on my really ancient (pre 5 click) eGo batteries and it works fine. Something was seriously wrong with your friend's setup.

If you are still on the fence and want to try something less expensive first, try the Kanger T3 clearo (new model is T3s) first. Same idea, but the T3 is plastic so it's less expensive.

    I'm using a protank on a ego mega vv2 with no problems at all. So far it's been much less of a hassle than my evods, it doesn't leak like they do but then I've gotten coils with missing wicks for the evods, I would definitely recommend the protank over the evods.

    I've been using a Protank on my 1300mah Spinner daily for about a week. No leaking or other issues so far and the flavor and vapor production are very good. Mine came with a 1.8ohm head and a 2.5ohm head and I've used them both. I haven't had the need to vape above 3.8 volts yet other than to try it out. All of my juices so far taste better at 3.8v or lower with the Protank.

    I paid $19.00 plus tax at my local vape shop. A little on the high side but I haven't regretted it for a second.

    if you are just using a 650mah non VV ego then no, im sure you will hate it. Thing has no balls until you get up to around 4.2v even with the 1.8ohm coils it seems weak on 650 mah 3.7v egos. evod on the other hand seem to pair up great with the 650 egos.

    now ego twiste, worth every penny, I am running 3 protanks right now and a evod. Very happy with them and love how easy it is to rebuild the heads
