I've been smoking a solid brass Protopipe for 20 years. Personally, I'm kind of sentimental about it, but that's a WHOLE different forum ;)

I just put in my pre-order for two, and a set of 5 replacement stems. Really looking forward to trying these.
Those protos were such a great design. Had one when I was a teenager. We left it out on my friends deck and his father took it for as it turns out, his own personal use. Something we didn't know then. Was too awkward to ask for it back. Wonder if he still has it?

I ordered two from Sun Vapers (I opted for priority shipping) yesterday at about 4:30 PM. The mail man delivered them today at about 2:00. From order to doorstep in less than 24 hours!

The packaging is really nice. The hinged box is imitation leather with a cut-out protective foam insert. Included is the Protank, two atomizer heads, eGo beauty cone thingy (not sure what they're called), bottom cap and instruction card (not pictured). The presentation is quite classy. It definitely feels like you're getting your money's worth.

The construction and fit and finish are impressive. The Protank feels and looks high quality. There's one difference between mine and the Protank that Pbusardo reviewed: the airflow channels on the underside of the bottom cap on mine are chromed, whereas they are brass on Pbusardo's. It's as if the airflow channels on Pbusardo's were an afterthought and cut after everything was chrome plated.

The included heads aren't marked with their resistance. My ProVari is detecting both at 2.6Ω.

So far, the Protank is vaping quite well. Flavor/vapor/throat hit are all solid and on par with the cartomizers I've been using lately. The draw is medium-light. My sweet spot with the Protank seems to be around 4.3 volts on the ProVari. I'll try removing one of the wicks in the future to see what effect it has, but I don't feel like it's really needed or necessary.

It fits nicely atop the ProVari and looks damn sexy. I'd like to see a satin finish option in the future that matches the satin metal finishes used on mods like the eVic and ProVari.

Some were disappointed about not being able to use their own drip tips with the Protank. For me, the integrated drip tip is plenty comfortable and I like how it gives the design a flowing, congruous look.
