Kanger ProTank 3

[DigitalVI]

I saw some where a 11/4 release date. No idea when it will show up in stores.

IMHO Kanger lost this battle to Aspire BDC. The new protank head is just a spin on the old design potentially having more issues than the one coil variant. The issues getting worst will be gurgling and juice contamination which are almost innexistent in BDC design because to the barrier between the coil and juice.

Regarding which one to get from BDC's , the eGo thread ones are amazing , the 510 ones perfom well BUT because of the 510 design the airflow might or might not be optimal depending on where the air holes are positioned when in working position.

Update : I posted this comment on Sun Vapers blog and was removed asap...bad for business I guess as they sell only Kanger crap.

If you purchased from another vendor why post a negative review on Sun Vapes blog? He is a authorities Kanger dealer. If the Kanger coil is so bad why have so many bcc using them?

Oh crap! There goes another 20 bucks flying out of my pocket. And I just got the Protank II yesterday.
IMO, these are the best tanks made, so I guess I'll just get one when I see it.

I agree it is at least one of the best. I have 2 Mini ProTank 2's and a ProTank 2 and haven't had a issue with any of them.

 

[BadTrainDriver]

I have both a Protank II and a mini Protank II, and I've used the mini exclusively for the last week. Zero...and I mean ZERO problems!
I am very particular too. I take it apart and thoroughly clean it every night, and I'm still on the original coil.

I'm not saying it's the best out there, as I'm too new to vaping to make that assessment...but I can say I've had ZERO problems with it.

VapingGreek said it sucks.

They are pushing products because they know people will buy them because its the "new" thing without perfecting the designs.

This is hard, Yet so simple... I will start by saying "I love Kanger Protanks" but... I fear you are right, I may have to end this love affair.

I tried the Davide BCC (single coil) The heads may look the same as Kangers, But under closer inspection, they're not... I only looked closer because they tasted and performed better than my Kanger heads, Now at first I thought well it must just be the airflow is better on the Davide base, So naturally I tried a Kanger head in the Davide base, and then another, and another... Nope! the Kanger heads just weren't as good. But now none of this even matters...

I picked up a Davide Glassomizer w/ Aspire BDC in it, And all I can say is "WOW!" I seen Kanger came out with Protank 3 after I got my Davide BDC, I looked around at my old Protanks, Picked them up and tried a couple, Just shook my head and put them back down.

So you are most likely asking will I get a Protank 3? A week ago you could bet your @## I would have!!!
Now it can wait till I get bored.

The biggest reason is: The whole Davide BDC setup will fit on all my Protanks! And Kangers attention to quality has gone to S#!T

So as for the love affair with Protanks... Well, It's sad... I have a new love with great head and just use poor Kanger for the looks and build, So in my pics you may see a Kanger Protank, But believe me it's far from what it appears to be!

P.S. Sorry Kanger, But your bottom is old and your head tastes funny...

Yours truly... Satisfied and not looking...

If that is the case, Kanger just shot themselves in the foot. A big part of the reason I and others I know use Kanger products is because the heads are interchangeable. If they make a new head that doesn't fit the rest of their line, this PT3 will land with a thud...

Sent with Tapytaptap or some such...

It already did land with a thud in my book.

 

[GREEN ZOMBIE]

Also, if the head isn't interchangeable, it will be a perfect chance to try that new BDC thing pbusardo has been raving about.

Honestly getting pretty tired of terrible flavor from clearos...

Sent with Tapytaptap or some such...

The Davide Aspire BDC, And it all fits on the first two Protank versions

 

[GREEN ZOMBIE]

Could not agree more. Main stream vaping does not require dual coils. Any decent blend will deliver a good cloud along with flavor.
Thought multi tank fit if a single coil was a big plus.

Very true, and dual coil uses up more battery life and juice, I also hope Aspire comes out with a single coil head with the same design as their BDC heads...

As for multi tank fit: The new Davide w/ Aspires BDC is just that, You can remove the adapter ring and use the old single coil heads on it, and it also fits on the first two Protank designes perfectly

Kanger has been a bit off key for almost a year now anyway. We will just have to wait and see what the Final/actual PT3 offers. They always make additional changes just before releasing.

Yeah, I thought it was just me getting picky at first, But I agree, they are just off key lately, I find flawed heads more and more, Sure I can rebuild them, then they work perfect, BUT... they are sold as changeable, not rebuildable and are supposed to come working perfect, Personal I'm not sure I will bother with the Protank 3, Kanger will have to prove themselves to me now, They "Were" a great company at one time and I used to defend them... Guess we'll see.

I bought a new protank 2 a few weeks ago and loved it. Then, it broke. Found that the part I needed to be replaced wasn't replaceable so I chucked it in the garbage can and bought a Davide by Anyvapes. That has to be the best vaping item I have ever bought and to me is hands down better than the protank line. Don't get me wrong the protank is a great tank but after comparing the 2 side by side I can't get over how much nicer the Davide is built.

Also recoiling those dual coil heads doesn't look like fun at all. I'll just stick to my Davide & single coils

Psst: Davide has a dual coil out

 

[GREEN ZOMBIE]

I just got my first Hypertank yesterday. It's very tall and heavy but solid. As soon as I tested it I realized that I will likely never use another Protank again. It's THAT much better a delivery system. Huge vapor and flavor and it uses the same heads as a Protank.

It's all one piece, metal encased pyrex, but it's half the price of the Protank. I haven't had a single burnt hit or gurgle since I started using it yesterday and I've been chain vaping. Also, the draw isn't airy at all.

It might be large and top heavy on an eGo type device but the performance is night and day from a Protank.

I'm going to be giving my Protanks away soon.

I need more input... better... more vapor and flavor from same head, that isn't computing, Did you buy a better mod too? or did it come with heads similar to Kangers but not kangers? This just doesn't add up with a tank alone.

 

[GREEN ZOMBIE]

AnyVape just came out with a new Aspire BDC line which includes the Davide. I have one. It uses a proprietary dual coil system BUT they've engineered it so that you can remove the coil and two other pieces and have the same standard, single, kanger coil clearo that they had before.
I think AnyVape went after Kanger's crown and got it. Now Kanger is rushing to play catch up buy throwing out another version of the ProTank. I just wish they would have done what AnyVape did and make it so you could switch it from a dual coil to a single coil.

Totaly agree, and walking away... sorry Kanger

 

[JulesXsmokr]

Maybe this time next year they'll come out with an American engineered turbo design, I don't see much improvement to be made in this form of coil and stem design.

Phil's vid is here
A PBusardo Review - The Aspire BDC - YouTube

I've been playing with two Aspires that I ordered through an ECF CoOp (BTW there is another one of these starting up now), one was a full size Davide, one was a full size glass Nova.
Phil doesn't cover these as I don't think they were available at the time he shot his video.
What I can say about them (at least the ones I recieved) is that the Davide has a fairly tight draw to it. Plus it tends to ride the edge of a dry hit if you don't draw hard enough on it. It does, however, work well at lower voltages such as standard eGo batteries once you get the draw down.
There are two versions of heads for these things. One has 4 holes (old version) the other has 2 holes (newer version). I have yet to try the 4 hole I recived with the Davide in the Davide to see if it clears the burning taste up. I'm thinking it should though. But I'm not real sure if AnyVape is going to keep the 4 hole heads.

As for the Nova? It's the polar opposite of the Davide. It need to run at higher voltages (4.8V is what I'm using) in order to keep from flooding.
It would benifit from a little bit better air flow as you can't put any kind of "beauty ring" under it to add some stabilization or it will start to gurgle. But I do have to say though, once you get this Nova dialed in, it will produce a ton of thick, rich, flavorful vapor.

Anyway, that's "MY" take on the Davide ( the ProTank killer), and the Nova. But as always YMMV.

Wow, I actually forgot I commented on this, Since then I have done a review of the Davide BDC, and decided Kanger has lost me for now. "ProTank Killer" I like that!!!

the protank 3 is a protank 2 with a duel coil only thing that is different it has much more vapor and taste been using it for 4 days now with no problems

Nice, Glade it's working, So is there a big difference or just slight... for now I have gave up Kanger but are the heads for sale yet?

Oh and how does the top fill work?

 

[Ben B Brown]

no top fill on it and it does have more vapor and flavor then a standard protank coil but a mircocoil with cotton is about the same as the duel coil IMO

Hmm, Thought I read somewhere it was going to be top fill... No matter, Just got back from reading about it on their site, This is kinda a deal breaker for me "Attention: Protank-3 coil are not capable with other clearomizers, even the protank series." They are just pushing me further away. But glade it's working good for you, and I agree, micro coils with cotton or steal mesh, are the way to go on rebuilding the old heads, I like ss mesh best, little more work but well worth it IMO.

Enjoy and Vape On!!!
