Looking for a cheap (but still good) VV setup

So snagging a Protank Mini, eGo Twist, and a USB charger (to use with either my laptop/my phone's USB/wall charger) would work just fine?
That setup (1 ego twist, 1 kanger protank mini, and a USB charger) is still $50 with shipping >.>
My Halo Triton had a complete charger, 2 batteries, and 2 tanks for $65 with free shipping.

For only a few dollars more than a twist, you can get an iTaste VV 3.0. They are great. The MVP 2 is also a steal at 40 dollars right now from 101vape. Comes with everything you need except juice. Huge built in battery, to boot.
My only issue with the MVP kit they have is that the tank it comes with is plastic, so I'd still need to order a tank.

For an initial kit, I say avoid the Kanger tanks mostly.
They're really hit or miss. Either you love them or you hate them. There doesn't really seem to be an in between. And with a limited budget, that's not a good gamble.
If you want an inexpensive glass clearomizer, then I'd recommend the Aspire ET BDC. Just make sure you get the one with the glass tank, because it comes in both glass and plastic.
And honestly, don't be afraid of plastic tanks. Not all plastics will crack with volatile juices. It's the acrylic tanks that crack.
Also... you have Triton batteries?
If so, get an 808 to Ego adapter, and you will be able to use the Ego cone threaded tanks out there without a problem. It's a more cost effective solution without having to also buy new batteries, at least up front. It will likely look a bit weird, but function just fine for a fraction of buying new batteries.
Aside from that, for a VV device, it's hard to beat the cost of a Twist. They're fairly cheap compared to everything else, but if you can pony up a little more cash, then an Innokin iTaste VV V3 would give you a lot better performance, though possibly less battery life as they are only 800mah batteries. They do however have a psuedo-passthrough ability. You can vape it while it's charging, though it's not a true passthrough. If you vape on it while it's plugged in, it uses the battery for power and stops charging while you vape, then goes back to charging while it's not being used.
There are TONS of them for sale on eBay for pretty good prices, and if you have a PayPal account you could apply for "Bill Me Later" and pay it off over time.
[Edit]
Oh, as for the VV V3, you could also pick up a full kit with 5x iClear 16s. It's actually a really good deal for that many clearomizers. And I haven't had an iClear 16 crack yet, even when loaded with juices that are acidic like Blueprint's Park Ave. which is a strawberry lemonade vape.

The whole adapter+glass tank isn't a bad idea for a temporary fix, at least until I'm done being poor >.> not a bad plan. Happen to know if the Triton tanks are safe with the plastic killer juices?
Top this with a proTank mini, EVOD, or smok Teh pyrex tank and you are ready for any juice. Santa brought the wife one for Christmas

I agree with all of the above but don't forget the newest version of kanger's mini clearos is the protank mini 2.
I hooked up a friend with a twist+PTmini2 setup and he loves it.

Um... I don't know for sure since I don't have a Triton. But just a quick Google search says that they WILL crack with some juices... But I honestly couldn't tell you for sure.
If you really want to know if it's safe, take one of your tanks (after you've got at least 1 suitable replacement of course) and drop a few drops of a possible tank killer onto the plastic, set it on its side over night with the juice in it, and see if there is any frosting or cracks. If there is, you've got your answer.
Seems like the Kanger ProTank Mini is basically the same width as the Triton tanks, so it shouldn't look too crazy. Would this be the right adapter to order with it?

Answered my own question, I'll need an 808 to ego adapter. Luckily, mtbakervapor sells both the mini protank 2, the adapter, and the juices I wanted to try 
No that's the wrong adapter. That's a male to male adapter. You need a female to female adapter.
808 batteries have a protruding thread, and so do 510 accessories. Thus you need something that looks more like a sleeve. Keep in mind 510 and eGo are 2 different things. You have 510 threading, which looks like the bottom of an iClear 30 for example, and then you have what is usually called "eGo cone threading" where the device you are attaching to a battery has a 510 connection but actually grips the battery using the eGo threads, like for example the Kanger Mini ProTank 2.
Basically what you need is something like this...

That site however is currently out of stock. I'll do some more looking around to see if I can find someone selling an 808-to-eGo adapter.
