Oh, Discount Vapers. Gromley is a pretty cool guy. Very helpful on his website.
It took me too long, because I had to go back and look up what I won in the contest....

Yes, I really like DV and order from them when I can. Eric is a great guy, and he really takes care of his customers...and his prices are tough to beat. The problem is that he is often out of stock, so you have to buy what you might need in advance. I think a few vendors might be out of stuff soon because of Chinese New Year.

Chinese New Year isn't until February, I think. Last year, Vendors got stuff right up until. It takes them a while to gear up and get back to speed after, because of all the backorders.

I'd take a PT Mini. As long as it's Glass, I'd use about anything. I don't like anything about the Vivi Nova design anymore, though... glass or not.
I gave it up because I felt a little guilty about winning with a similar design, and I had just got a couple Minis in a CoOp. I'm not a Vivi fan at all. I have one, but never got a good vape out of it (I even tried different wicks and coils). I'm definitely a bottom coil clearo guy.

My very 1st tank was a Vision VN with the plastic tube, last January. It was OK, but it wouldn't work below 1/2 tank. I bought a Vision V-Fate, which is a VN with a glass tube inside a metal sleeve... same problems. So I don't use either at all anymore. I never had a PT, but I have a Davide, which is basically the same thing. Don't care for it much, either. I've wanted to try a PT II or III, but I'd hate to find the same disappointments as the Davide. I think my next purchase will be a really nice Carto Tank.

I'm using a carto tank right now :)

I have heard pretty much horror stories about the PT3, so I would skip that for sure. They apparently leak and gurgle a lot. I haven't tried the Davide...I still have several original PTs in service, so I haven't felt the need to move on just yet. I went wild buying gear early on, so I've been coasting the last 4 or 5 months in that regard :D

I only want a glass tube or tank, so I'm not interested in designs like the Russian. I really wish more things were made with good quality Glass/Pyrex. I can get a very nice Carto Tank with killer glass. Phiniac makes some great ones, but they are very pricey. IBTanked makes nice ones, too. Something like that for me.

I am sure that someone will eventually produce a Kayfun-type device with a glass tank...the problem is that they keep designing threaded tanks. My Russian can be put together with all stainless tank sections, which is fine until you run out of juice and don't really know it :( The IBtanked are good enough for me too. I don't need to spend $40 on a tank, just sayin' :)

I'm with you on both. A SS Tank doesn't let you see the juice level. But I might splurge on the Phinny... one with plane glass... nutten fancy in the design department on the glass. Clear glass is fine with me.

Have you seen the videos where he throws them against walls and garage doors? And the end caps are SS... not chromed something or other.
