I currently use an Istick 20 with the Aspire Nautilus Mini and am happy with that set up but I am looking for a cheaper (around $10-$30) second tank, or maybe even two additional tanks, to use when I try new juice flavors. I have been vaping for about 4 months and started with a cheap ego style pen and quickly upgraded to the istick and Nautilis Mini. HUGE improvement in battery life, flavor and cloud size btw for the newbs.
I want a different tank just to play around with and see the difference between it and the Nautilus Mini since I have only vaped on the nautilus mini and the ego pen. I also want to be able to try new juices and not mess with my everyday juice and mix flavors in the Nautilus mini, etc. I know opinions vary and I could just get a second nautilus mini but I want to try something different. I have just read how much better the Nautilus is with the BVC coils but I want to be able to experience how much, if any, better it actually is and decide for myself.
I also know I may not quite get the flavor or vape that I get from the nautilus mini and BVC coils but it will be a fun experiment.
I would like something that looks good with the istick, so something "mini" sized, similar or close to the size of the nautilus mini. I prefer to not get a bigger tank that holds 5 ml because it would be too big for the istick. 2.5-3 ml juice capacity is plenty for what I'm wanting. I am also not interested in rebuilding coils so I would have to be able to buy and just replace the coils.
So far, I've looked into the Aerotank Mini, Genitank, Protank 3 and Protank mini 3. The Protank 2 and Protank mini 2 would be fine too (I don't really know the difference between the 2 and 3. I am guessing the Protank 2 is single coil while the Protank 3 is dual coil, correct?) Of course I don't want a tank that is prone to leaking juice etc.
I'm open to any other suggestions as well and I would appreciate reasons why you recommend those tanks.
If it's helpful, I primarily vape Mt Baker USA tobacco flavor in a 50/50 blend and change between 12 and 18 nicotine. I almost always use the istick at 7.7 watts on a 1.8 ohm coil which equals 3.8 volts. I prefer the second largest airflow setting on the Nautilus Mini and I don't like a real tight draw. I typically go through 2-4 ml of juice per day.
It would be awesome if anyone could post a pic of any of the above tanks, or other suggestions, on an istick so I can get a general idea of what it would look like on my istick. I think the nautilus Mini is a near perfect match with the istick, size wise atleast. Sorry for being so long "winded". Thanks for all the help.

Dyanne it is a great set up and I'm very happy with it. I quit smoking because of and haven't had any desire for an analog since. I enjoy vaping much more than smoking. Since I don't have experience with much equipment I just want to play around and see if I might like something better. Worst case is that I will appreciate the nautilus mini more. How many watts do you use on your istick with the nauti mini?

7.2 Watts on my 1.8ohm BVC, I haven't tried other tanks I am happy with this set up, but I like you wouldn't mind experimenting with some cheaper options mostly for the same reason as you as I would like my mini dedicated to its main vape juice and the others to try other flavours with because I am guessing I will need to clean or swap coils more often in the others rather than having to do that with my main tank lol. At the moment to avoid that dilemma i keep a bunch of little cigalike Volts from Smokeless image with their little mini clearos for my juice sampling. I also prefer to take the little cigalikes out and about in my purse and in my car and keep my istick for home use.

I recently purchased a couple aerotank minis from Sun Vapors for $16.00 apiece. Stainless steel, glass tank, no leaks, adjustable air, and easy to fill. They are now shipped with the new "enclosed " coils which with a little research looked like a pain to rebuild, so at the same time I purchased a bunch of the older style protank 3 coils. The older coils seem to perform better for me and are easy to rebuild in single coil mode.(about 1.8 ohm) Frankly I'm really impressed with this set-up.
