Kanger Protank 2 Glass Thickness

[MikeDG]

Hi!

I am planning on buying another tank and Protank 2 has caught my attention.

The only reason I'm holding back is the capacity. 2.5ml?! My T3S can be filled up to 3ml!

I am thinking that maybe if Kanger made the glass a little thinner, more juice can be used. But maybe it's the Research and Development that stopped it? I don't know!?

Calling third party manufacturers! Or any thoughts from you Protank 2 owners would be greatly appreciated...

The glass on the Protank2 is really thin already. Now for capacity you might could try the Puritank. Its glued together thought like the Protank 1 but you can use your own drip tip and it holds up to 5 ml of juice I hear.

I love my Protank II, probably the best topper I've owned since I started vaping. The volume of the tank doesn't bother me it's still bigger than an evod or Protank mini. The build quality is there I've knocked it over a few times no problem (knocks on wood). I don't have an issues with it at all.

You really don't want thinner glass. Although pyrex is relatively durable, going thinner would make them too fragile.

The only way to make the Protank I/II hold more juice would be to make it larger. If you thin Pyrex too much, it becomes just as brittle as everyday glass which would defeat the purpose . If you look at what Pyrex is traditionally used for today (baking/cooking), the width being used for the Protank is already cut down by margins (substantially).

Cookware is about 1/4" thick, if not more. Given, it has to handle quick a bit more heat, the Protank has to handle smaller levels of on and off heat, pressure build-up in the tank and provide some level of protection against the juices that normally crack everything else.

This. Thin borosilicate tubing is fragile and brittle, any thin glass tube is for that matter. And on the flip side, getting heavier tubes would reduce the capacity even further.
I don't have a Protank2 so I don't know the thickness but just for reference, readily available borosilicate tube comes in medium wall, 1.5mm, heavy wall, 2.5mm and extra heavy wall at 4.0mm.

I got a G50 in the mail today and the capacity is about 5+ml. It's aluminum wrapped glass and uses the same heads.

I got one of these.
I'm still mostly using ProTanks, but if I DO think I'll be in the mood for one flavor all day, it's nice to have...
