I really like it. Coming from using Vision v2 clearomizor and occasional Tabac BCC. However I find refilling juice a little challenging. The space you have between the glass and the center tube is tiny. Any tips from you pros?
Just got the kagertech mini protank II

Just tilt it a bit right or left and fill slowly. You will get the hang of it. I watch the side fill and then slowly bring it to the center vent. As long as you make sure the bottom connector is tight on the Mini you should have no leaks.
Would sure be nice if vendors stated whether the plastic bottles they sell for ejuice are inert food-grade plastic or not. Maybe they did and I missed it, but I didn't see a reference.
Hmm….I don’t remember ever seeing juice bottles described that way or clearos either for that matter. I guess I assume that since they’ve been sold for years and nobody has complained, they must be OK.

I'm sure you're right but ingesting chemicals from plastic might not have the kind of effects that would be linked back to it, and certainly not immediately. Sort of a slow increase in toxins over the years vs an acute reaction. IAC some plastics are deemed safe for food and water (as you know) and some aren't. I use pyrex tanks to avoid plastic tanks, and I bought glass bottles for my DIY juice for the same reason. But plastic bottles are handy, especially for dripping. They should be LDPE (low-density polyethylene) though, like these: Amazon.com: Mini Dropper Bottles 3ml / 3cc Natural (Clear) LDPE - Set of Ten (10): Beauty. Maybe the bottle referenced above is... maybe all the plastic bottles sold at e-cig vendors are LDPE. At least one plastics site I read said if the plastic is cloudy and soft enough to squeeze it is probably safe, so that bodes well. Would be nice though if vendors listed the type of plastic in the description of the product. It's a simple enough thing to ask the manuf or supplier, then include this info in the write-up. Plus it's a good sales point. JMO.
EDIT: BTW clear, hard plastic is not considered food-safe. So while cloudy-white, soft plastic dropper bottles might indeed be LDPE, the hard, clear plastic used in plastic tanks is not the best choice for people who want to maximize risk reduction. Pyrex (glass) is best, or if you stick with plastic there is polypropylene which is cloudy but harder than LDPE and considered food safe. The plastic tanks made from the latter state so because it is a selling point and you can spot them because... yup... they're cloudy.
EDIT#2 Also, polypropylene won't crack with juice. And here is an example of just one:

Problem solved. Cut a drinking straw to about one inch long. Put that small piece over the center tube. Drip juice in tank around the straw. My middle name is McGyver . Wow, so much easier to fill tanks and clearomizor now.

And you didn't even need to use a paperclip for anything.
Thanks for the straw tip. I have also found it a bit difficult to fill the Mini PT 2, and this sounds like it will make it much easier.
