My brand new Ikv Dbox Pyrex PuriTank

[5cardstud]

This tank is GREAT. I'm loving it. I think this could be rebuilt without to many problems. I know vaping with this tank is outstanding. I have it on my Infinity Pro and the 2 were made for each other. I love it.
The draw for me is perfect. The only con I found so far is my new Ikenvape stainless tip won't fit but it comes with a stainless tip that does.

So the redesign improves the standard Protank's draw characteristics, huh?
I may have to investigate but, at some point I should quell my V.A.P.(vaping acquisition disorder)

It draws like a newly tanked fusion.

It draws like a newly tanked fusion.

Okay, what type of head/coil does it use. If it uses a evod/protank coil they are easy to rebuild. I might have to put this on my want list.

WOW this works great!!

 

[5cardstud]

WOW this works great!!

Aren't they nice Fran? I have a bunch of Fusions though so I got to use one of them once in awhile.

 

[FranC]

LOL 5C me too!!

Any more updates on the performance of this tank?

Is everything pure stainless?

Any more drip tip fitment issues?

 

[5cardstud]

This is the best tank/atty system he has in my book. I love it. I use it more than any of my other devices now. The tip it comes with, although tight, fits good and looks even better. As the original Fusionolic I use this even more than my Fusions. The draw stays the same and doesn't get tight like tanked cartos do after a while. I would put my stamp of approval on this for what it's worth. I've been using it non-stop since I got it. Another thing is it will take a higher voltage setting better than the others. it's perfect on my Buzz Pro, Infinity Pro as well as my Auto Ego.

Just picked up a few myself. I like glass tanks. Some of my plastic ones absorb the flavor of previous juices in my opinion. Nothing like a nice fruity juice having a slight hint of something you poured down the drain. Yuk.

My curiosity has been piqued.

Question: I've strayed away from clearomizers recently because I've found they mute flavors, kill throat hit, and generally don't perform as well at higher voltages, much more so with my VG juices. My experience with Vivi Novas and VG juices is that they become practically flavorless and undetectable as far as throat hit is concerned.

With these points in mind how does this clearo tank perform compared to a nova?

After much PG/VG ratio fiddling and removal of extra silica threads and evod/protank coil alterations on the protank/puritank...I've come to the conclusion that for me at the moment, 70PG/30PG with a pro coil on either the puritank or protank is working for me. Had a bunch of trouble with the evod coils, usually too tight of a draw and/or not wicking well enough. I tried removed some of the wick and they would hit better but then flood and still not taste as good as the pro tank coils. Might not even be related and be more of a QC issue, but we'll see. Either way I'm super happy and love both tanks as well as the auto batteries.

Well I've tried the nova and hated it, and can confirm these are light years beyond it. The cool part is if you are up for fiddling, you can pop out the center air tube (pliers were required for me, its in there snug) and there are 2 loose strands of silica sitting on top of the coil you can remove one or both of to allow more juice in to the coil. At first with 60VG it was hit or miss with dry hits and leaving the wick in, but I had some luck with removing the wick but then it tended to flood after a while. If you're using 100% VG and remove both wicks, I'd say you'd have a good chance of wicking well, at which point the set up allows for great hits as the coil is nice and always stays wet.

Hi 5cardstud!

Very interesting, how big is this thing??? It looks massive and I couldn't find any specs on IKV site. Capacity? Length? Diameter?

Thanks for the review!

 

[FranC]

Hiya Kat. I don't have the exact specs. Holds over 3ml I believe. Takes evod and ProTank coils. Bigger than a ProTank but you can use your own drip tip. Glass and ss makes it a little hefty but it works great.

 

[Katya]

Frannie! Fancy seeing you here!

Thanks!

Maybe Isaac will offer a ladies edition in a bit smaller size--1.5-2 ml?

 

[FranC]

I would like to see a small one too.

I had that problem too and for me it was because it sit too far down in the threads and blocked the vents. I put a thin washer between the tank and the PV to raise it and it vented good.

It's approximately 2in. tall without the tip and about 3/4in. diameter Katya. I like the size because I don't have to fill it as much. I think the Protank is a little daintier. You know me, here's a side by side pic of them both.

 

[Katya]

Thank you so much for the picture, 5cardstud!

Yes, I do know you. This is indeed a manly tank--and attached to a heavy mod it might be too much for us ladies.

On the other hand, it could do double duty as a personal protection device.

Hugs to all in Ikenland!
