I already did a review on the Vamo, so this is more for the Protank.

Coming from a Dual Coil tank, I'm big on huge vapor, strong flavor, strong throat hit, warm vapor, and tight draw. The Protank seems to only deliver on huge vapor, while lacking in the other departments.

If you, too are currently using a DCT and want a faster, easier method of filling/storing juice in your tank, look no further. If you want to switch to a different tank system while maintaining the desired characteristics of a DCT, you'll need an Air Flow Controller.

On its own, it's just not impressive. I added a Tank Air Flow Controller, which joins the tank to the mod and allows for adjustable airflow. This tightened the draw, helped warm the vapor a little and helps with providing better TH. Flavor is improved a little, but not by much (this will depend on the juice, of course). I use Ryder from FSUSA, and if I continue to use this tank, my next bottle will need to have an extra shot of flavor, and higher Nic level to help with the TH.

Build quality is great, but I worry about the glass if it falls. I know it's Pyrex glass, but just like with Smartphones that boast Gorilla Glass, well, glass is glass. It can still break.

It looks great with my Vamo, even with the airflow controller. I've heard of issues regarding the Vamo and Airflow Controllers (something about the center post on the Vamo being compressed too far while using the airflow controller), but I don't over-tighten anything, just screw it in until it starts to resist, and it's still sturdy.

Would I recommend the Protank? Absolutely, but I'd also recommend using the air flow controller with it.

Hey there! Good to see you :) I agree with all points that you made on the PT. I have an airflow controller and still, the flavor is very muted for me. I have some LR coils on order and hoping that they will help.

Mostly just wanted to say hello.

Holy cow, how've you been?! It's been a while. I usually just stop by the forums now and then to do a review here and there. Things have changed and improved dramatically for me, having gotten married, have a son now, and my job situation drastically improved.

My Protank came with a 2.5 ohm and a 2.2 ohm coil, and here in a few I'm going to try the 2.2 coil and see if the flavor comes back. I'll report back in a few after I give it a whirl.

Good seeing you again!

This exact set up just arrived today. I'm charging it up as I type this.

I LOVE my Vamo but, I am still trying to get more flavor from the ProTank. I tend to vape lighter flavors anyway. Stronger flavors taste just fine in the PT IMO

Hope you enjoy it :vapor:

Yeah, I'm not a flavor hound. I ususally vape flavorless menthol. The draw on the protank+vamo is airy but I'm totally fine with that. I can see how others might want to regulate airflow for more volume. There's a significant amount of space between the tank and the vamo along with the machined parts of the tank. But like I said, I'm totally fine with that.

So far my graduation to this set up is awesome!

I just received both a Kanger evod and a protank. First day of use, of course, but vaping my current daily vape (Blueberry from MBV) on the Vision Spinner battery the evod tastes really good, nice flavor, throat hit, good vapor. It's all good. The protank is a bit airy and although it produces TONS of vapor, I mean seriously, so much vapor it's unreal, it has no taste at all hardly, there's no burnt taste, there's just very little taste at all. That makes absolutely no sense, but that's how it is.

First day of course, so things might change as they get more use.

I find the protank is pushing my vamo center post in. its prob going to destroy it eventually. will just buy something better when the vamo dies. not using a air controller either. I don't over tighten anything. but if I don't screw the protank on more securely then normal it wont fire and wont read the ohms. never had that issue before.

I've noticed with thinner juices, it seems to bubble around the support that the center post screws into. I suspect that a thicker juice might just sludge around it and not bubble. My local B&M mixes 80pg/20vg and once in a while I get a really flavorless hit and when I just gently turn it, I'll see the bubble release around the post.
