Most reliable larger capacity delivery systems that still have great flavor? Atomizers vs Cartomizers.

[crxess]

First let me say, no 2 anything are guarantied to deliver the same results. Manufacturing includes some hands on and human eror comes into play.
tanks are no different - 2 tanks, 1 good wick builder and they will be very similar in production. 2 tanks, 2 different building experiences and they will likely be quite different.
Complaints - 99% of complaints from people that purchased a highly recommended device, only to be dissatisfied, are due to inexperience or overly high expectations.
Most are noobs or not into tinkering and have no idea what to do if something is slightly wrong. Most devices can be easily corrected.

As to the Ops post, only you really know what it is you are looking for.
As far as reliability, I carry a Kanger T2 on a 450mah battery every day for work. (dedicated device) I refill as needed and maintain every 3-4 tank fills. Still working great, 8 months on original wick/coil. Only used for Work breaks/lunch.

I hardly ever touch a T2 at home. Prefer Tanks/Carto's/Vivi and change quite frequently.

I spend about 5-10 minutes every day cleaning, filling, swapping batteries, etc. Its part of the habit. Just do it quick before bed. I never bother with time consuming stuff, such as boiling etc, id rather just toss it and replace. My most maintenance free items have always been clearomizers, easy to fill, easy to swap heads, im really leaning towards them more and more as time goes on. I use an eroll a lot and it can be a pain, im wiping out the cone, and a tank only lasts a few hours, but i like to have something that i can pretend is just a normal smoke sometimes! My clearos are Vapeonly BCC (3 wicks out of the head to stop the burning), Kanger Protank (1 wick out), Kanger T2 (no wicks removed) and an Evod (no wicks removed. The heads seem to last me at least about 2 weeks, but ill admit ive only had the protank for a few days so im not sure on those yet, just assume they will be like anything else i use

I'm looking for the weekly service cycle too. Consider buying a few of whatever you get. I'm pretty happy with Provari/ibtank/Iken cartos but it does flood once in a while. My plan is to have 4 or 5 of these cartotanks setup so I can just swap them out. Then on Sunday I'll fix them all up again.

 

[Kablin]

Protank plus VAMO - my all day all week no problem setup.
Replace flavor weeks with cotton one in new head and I'm good for 1 to 3 weeks..... /0.02.

My Provari arrived and I am using it.

I love it.

I think I want all my delivery systems to be centered around the Provari. I think I like the Idea of 7 tanks.

I do want to try rebuildable tank atomizers but am going to get well set up on a couple of carto tanks first. I hope my V-2 Tank arrives on Tuesday.

I get a kick out of so many folks saying "get a ProTank" when they have only been out for what ... a month or so? Hardly long enough to say if they are a homerun or not.

Great! Good to read that you are enjoying it.

yeah but it's just a CE style tank and it doesn't cost much so if you buy one and hate it you're not out much

That's true, and if you liked T3's you will probably like it.

But I still get a kick out of so many suggesting them for no other reason than the ProTank is the new kid on the block.

yep that's it I picked one up on Friday and it's my new favorite toy, I like the fact that doesn't have ego threading

No reason(s) needed considering the success of their previous products.

I don't see where anyone suggesting the Protank did so simply because it was new. In fact, most stated several reasons. The OP asked for advice on something low maintenance and the Protank fits the bill. I've tried a lot of clearomizers and the Protank is one of the best in my opinion.

What would you recommend?

Already did, a simple carto on a Reo (Smoktech 1.7 ohm shorty carto)

My point was that no one has had a protank long enough to say if they are any good. All we have at this point is "first impressions".

IMHO the major problem with large capacity systems is leaching of half burned fluid back into the tank. (and it doesn't taste like chicken) That doesn't happen with a bottom feeder, so the juice stays fresh. Only time will tell if that leaching becomes a problem with the protank.

 

[Crash Moses]

I've read reviews about the Kanger saying the draw is so airy on them it's nearly impossible to vape. Can anyone second this or dismiss these claims as false?

Someone accustomed to a harder draw might make that distinction the first time they try it. However, if you adjust your technique and inhale slowly it works very well. I can tell you that my vaping buddy and myself both prefer a harder draw and while a little airy the Protank vapes just fine (ours both generate very respectable plumes). I just ordered two more actually.

If you use a mod that the Protank will sit flush on (such as the Provari) you can easily block off three of the four intakes for a smoother draw but it works just fine without resorting to this.

The protank's head sit at the base of the unit. As such, how does leaching occur? I'm not familiar with bottom feeders.

Never really had issues with PVs or batts. BUT, most joose devices are a total pain in da buttocks! Having been pretty much through 'em all, one thing I found out... I despise dry hits!!!. Keep in mind that I started nearly two years ago (next week), buying blue foam and tea bags for carts, etc.

No, no, don't waste your time advising that I need to 'break 'em in', 'just do a lil' mod here and there', 'ya gotta hold it in a position determined by NASA, the BATF and your local newspaper horoscope'!

As a result, I went back to my ol' LR SMOK DCTS and am a happy camper, NO frackin' dry hits and mucho flav/vapor. I will continue to explore new devices, but only after many sustained positive ECF feedback reports!

BTW, I'll gladly trade all my new/used clearos/RBAs I've collected for an equivalent stash of unused SMOK 1.5Ω cartos. Oh, ya better have a couple hundred of 'em!

OTOH, I do have a couple of Kanger ProTank on order...

Because the coil is inside the tank. But, like I said, I'll wait & see what others have to say about if leaching is a problem in another month or two.

Oh, I need to read up on bottom feeders then.
