500 more coming next week

BUT I will probably NOT release them all at once, I am seriously run down right now, all of those protank bases, so many orders.
I am so tired and my wife is too, so we *might* do stages or something, like 100 a night until they are gone, not sure yet.

I have about 8 proTanks in rotation and use them all the time, so far I haven't had an issue with any of them so all this ProTank base stuff is a bit confusing to me, had I known it was such an issue I would have ordered 5000 of them.

I even tried to break a few.. weird
mine happened from dropping it on the mouthpiece. it caused the 510 connection to crack a little then after a few days the thread piece just popped off.

Any one who doubts the threading problem on the Plotank should look at my growing collection of thread less Protanks . Some in the photo show the replaceable coil sticking out still .

Do you like them twice as much as a protank because they are twice as expensive ?

I don't personally have one, but they do look nice and if my protank glass breaks I'll be getting one. Only thing I don't like is that I like to see my juice level... I hate knowing it's out by receiving a bad hit. I expect that it is AS GOOD as a protank, with the added benefit of being indestructible. Consider the higher price to be going toward indestructible construction materials and American trade, rather than increased performance.

Hi everyone, my base is ok, but I notice its sillicone gasket is starting to tear. So my question is can I only buy a pack of base gaskets from somewhere around Germany? I don't seem to find them in the German websites.. :(
This is a great question Eric :D I would be willing to buy a packet of silicon rings myself just to have on hand for just in case too............Is it possible to get any ? :blink:

Actually the Tatroe SS tops are more than twice as expensive. And they are worth every penny.

1. A few days after getting the Protank, I dropped my Provari and the Pyrex sheared right off where it connects to the lower chromed section. I had been thinking of getting a Tatroe, so I pulled the trigger, since I had a perfectly good base for one.

2. The Tatroe holds more juice than the Pyrex top. It also has ZERO leakage. The Pyrex top would start gurgling and sputtering liquid into my mouth when it got to about 1/3rd full. The Tatroe starts gurgling when there are a few drops left, but continues to vape until the tank is empty.

3. Use you own drip tip.

4. SS, so basically shatter-proof. The only remaining issue is the known problem with the base itself, but this is a problem regardless of top.

5. Only drawback is you cannot see how much liquid you have left - which is why I want to have at least 2-3 in my arsenal.

Note, this is my base with my Tatroe. I have a second Tatroe coming, and I will be attaching it to my one existing base to see if it has the same performance. I also want to get a few more bases and swap them around. If the performance is consistent, this will be my perfect solution - no expensive Genesis attys needed for me - along with my eBaron Pro for dripping.

Yeah, forget it, DV don't ship to Germany...

Due to the recent influx of fraudulent orders we have stopped all international deliveries to countries other than Canada, Australia, France, Mexico, United Kingdom, Finland and Norway, if you are from a country listed above we will ship to you, all other countries are no longer on our ship to list.

I will ask about them. :)

They are with the gasket on the photo. Do they really come with the gasket included?

Yes, I take all my own pictures except when my camera dies, but yes that is an actual photo of the base I carry it has the white seal.

:(

sorry, most countries are still off the list, tons of fraud from Asia, South America and Russia.
But Germany and Italy because 75% of all packages in the two moths prior to removing them from the list did not make it to their destination (Italy was closer to 90%) whether that was due to actual non deliveries or something else going on I do not know but it was costing us a lot to refund "lost" shipments. :(
