I love 'em.
Have both 1 & 2, and don't really see much difference, as I never minded the metal driptip.
But I like them for a few reasons -
Great right out of the box - unlike the ProTank that required some fiddling with wicks and such...
Great flavor - I prefer the BCC's (EVOD, ProTank, etc), and the Mini is the same - good flavor, good vapor
Trouble-free - compared to other clearos, I've found the Mini to have no leaks, no gurgles, no wicking trouble.
Just plain good.
Hope you have the same experience with it!

I just got one recently and I love it ! Perhaps the best of all the toppers.

My biggest surprise when I got it and opened it was how small and dainty it was, wow !
After using the big FAT protank it's just so slender and sleek. Another reason I love it, the capacity. (smallest of all)
I am a believer in vaping cooks your fluid so having just the "right" amount
is a trade off between (fresh juice) vape time and filling.

Not sure about the talk of burnt taste, that would be from faulty coils or user error,
not the clearomizer, all these kanger bcc's are the same.

You could (if you could) take any base off (evod-T3-pt-minipt)and put it on a beer can
and screw it on a battery and it would work...

then the added bonus of being "juice safe" & "able to take it apart to clean it", very cool

so YES I really think this mini Protank is the real deal...:2cool:

First I got some Protank IIs and liked them, BUT they were bulky and heavy. So I ordered some Protank II minis. Much lighter, more comfortable, equally easy to refill or change a coil. The taste and vapor volume are nice. No complaints. I bought protanks because I like citrus juices, and had heard that these will destroy plastic tanks. I'm happy with the Protank II mini, and have no issues with the metal tip.

I have the mini protank I and the mini protank II without the removable driptip and I have a II w/ removable driptip coming in the mail this week most likely. I love them. I'm slowly phasing out my evods not because they are bad, just because I don't want to have to worry about cracking plastic. I'll probably still use them on cleaning day.

I have both a reg ptank2 and mini2. I also have several mini-davides. While the ptank2 mini is a great vape I think the davides vape better. not knocking the ptank 2 or anything but I think everyone who likes small glass tanks should try the davide also. It's been my least troublesome small tank overall, uses kanger heads, and costs less.

I just got my PT 2 mini in the mail today. I LOVE IT!!! I bought two 5 packs of 1.8 heads with it. No burning, great taste on all my juices so far. I was using CE4s as well. With all the issues I was having with them, how hard they are to properly clean, and how much they leak... This is a breath of fresh air ;) The draw is a little too airy for me though, seems to mute some of the more intense flavors. I found that there is 1 out of 4 of the air holes that seems to be the main intake. When you plug it, you get a hotter, harder pull that is more to my liking. So yeah, I've been through about 5 tanks so far today trying to taste everything on it. You can clean it in seconds, refill fast and be back to vapeing in no time flat. Plus it feels so much more substantial! Now I can't wait for my 30 gauge wire and ekowool to get in so I can start building my own coils! Took one of the heads apart, looks like a piece of cake. From what that coil looked like from the factory, my OCD will probably help me make a head that works ten times better! Best of luck man, you won't regret it.

I liked the T3s clearos I started with. I really liked the EVOD I picked up.

I love the Mini ProTank II. Easy to use right out of the box, the draw feels perfect to me, and I don't mind the metal drip tip. I plan to get a couple more, probably with the removable tip. Plus, I like the possibility of getting into rebuilding the coils on the Kanger heads sometime in the future.

My only other experience has been with cheap CE4 clearos, but I enjoy the Kanger tanks so much I don't have much of an urge to branch out just yet.

My husband loves the PT2 minis. I got one too previously. Sorry in advance to break the praise streak here but I encountered many problems with the mini including leaking, flooding, flavourlessness, very frequent burnt tastes even with a very viscous 80/20 pg/vg juice. Even my local vendor said many customers of his has the same problems. Like i said in another thread, seems like the PT2 mini has more boo's than woo's by people in my area.

I exchanged it for the bulkier PT2 and so far had MUCH less problems. Maybe i'm missing something on the PT2 mini...

Ive found that it helps if you take at least one of the flavor wicks out

Yep, that is what i did and sadly it was the same for the mini. Searched here and youtube for solutions but tried all of them but all my efforts were furtive. The big PT2 was fine. I really wanted to like the mini since it was so compact and easy to refill but was just overall bummed out. Maybe mine was a dud no matter how many times i changed the heads or did other things to help change the situation.
 
I love the Mini Protank. It's even better than the Mini Davide - I feel that the build quality on the Kanger Mini Protank is better. Kanger just makes solid products. Then again, I've always been a name brand junkie, so it's no surprise that I like Kanger's version better than Davide's ;) The reviews it's been getting on VaporKnowledge have been mostly positive; it's at a 4.2/5 rating after 10 reviews @ Kanger Mini ProTank (I & II) Review
