the way you say that i'm a little worried that you unscrewed the wrong part.

No, I saw him when he was putting the sample juice in my tank, he even said he was making a mess, but I thought he cleaned it up. I learned VERY quickly to hold the bottom part when I unscrew it lol, luckily when I did unscrew it wrong (the one and ONLY time) it was empty lol.
The replacement heads I got are 2.2ohm Kanger bottom coil heads, do I have the get ONLY Kanger tanks to be able to use them with?
Oh, I see now. That pack you bought are for EVOD and Protank.
They won't work in iClear (so that's out) and I buy T3S heads for T3S. Protank heads aren't 100% compatible with T3S.
Maybe a Protank mini?
iClear16 atomizer heads will last longer than a Kanger clearomiser atomizer head.

I do like the Protank Mini, but not really a huge fan of the iclear16.
First malfunction 
I've been doing SO good today, I had 2 analogs first thing with my coffee and getting my kids off to school, once they left I was finally able to fill up my tank with my favorite juice and REALLY try out my new Twist! Let me say I LOVE it, it was pretty hard hitting until I realized I was on 4.2 so I took it down to 3.8, PERFECT (remember, I am new at this)! I've only craved an analog TWICE, but grabbed my great new toy and I was good to go! So proud of myself as the time went by and next thing I know, it's been FOUR HOURS since my last 'real cig'. I was actually so impressed that I decided 'yanno what, this seems to actually be working, I'm going to drive my happy .... back up to that store and maybe get me another one (or AT LEAST a new tank that actually matches my new pearl pink battery), heck, I might even buy a back up tank so I have one I can use to test new juices'! So I got dressed, put my coat on (b/c it's TEXAS and even though it's gonna be 70* in a couple of days, it's ONLY 20* right now!!!) and I get a call from my sister asking if I can come by her house. Headed that way, picking up my super awesome and totally adorable nephew from daycare (he's 1 btw and the CUTEST blonde headed, blue eyed little boy you will ever lay your eyes on), helped her load up her car for her week long trip to IL to go see her husband (long story) and do some business stuff. I lost track of time and by the time I left, I realized, 'well hell, my kids will be getting home before too much longer so I better just go home and see if I can get my mom to watch them when she gets off work later', call her, she says that's fine and I'm even more excited b/c that means I'll have more time to 'play'! So I got in my car, headed for home, took a drag (or whatever vapers call it) of my NON-cancer stick that I am REALLY falling in love with! Next thing I know I hear a LOUD pop, I look down at it, 'nothing seems wrong with it', kept puffing away as I'm driving (which by the way is one of the times I smoke the most) and then I notice 'man, I'm getting a lot of juice in my mouth all of a sudden, this can't be good', so now I'm driving, TRYING to stay on the road (luckily I live in the sticks and there's NEVER any traffic!), but frantically unscrewing the tank from the battery, the whole time I'm thinking to myself 'if I ....... up this BRAND new battery, I am going to freak the freak out!!!'. I finally get it off and guess what I saw, a PUDDLE of juice in my battery! So now I'm trying to stay on the road, while driving with my knees and reaching over to get into the glove box to find a napkin, flinging the juice out of my battery all over the floorboard, no napkins... 'oh sh**, wth am I gonna do?!?!', found a napkin on the passenger side floorboard, roll it up like a q-tip and stick into the battery (still driving with my knees ALL OVER the road and slinging juice). Finally I get back home and I call the store as fast as I could to find out what I need to do to keep from killing my battery, 'oh, it's ok, it's not INSIDE the battery, in the electrical stuff, just get a q-tip or paper towel and clean it off the best you can'... SERIOUSLY!!! He tells me he has no idea why my tank did that, it shouldn't have and to bring it in tonight when I come and he'll look at it! So now I'm sitting here, finally got my heart rate back down to normal range, hell ANYONE who would have been in that car with me, would need a breather! I'm missing ol' Betsy (I didn't really name her, not yet anyway hehe)and sucking away on my V2 I least I have SOME back up, right?
Moral of the story, 1) I guess my tank is shot, 2) there is NO question I'm getting another tank and battery now and 3) now I understand why my husband is so scared of my driving! BUT I still haven't had an analog since 7:30 this morning!

oh.. no.... no... god.... no.
please don't;;
I always have my laptop bag with me in the car on the passenger seat;
I always have to tanks and 2 usually 3 batteries; they're lined up like bullets in spots the bag has for pens.
If one gives trouble while I'm driving, I just PULLOVER, and swap the other one.
lmao, that would have been the smart thing to do, but no one has ever accused me of being the brightest bulb! I actually would have done that if I saw anyone around, I just like add a little extra flair when I tell a story like this lol.

So I went back, got another battery and the Protank 2 mini, and a really awesome custom juice (I LOVE that store, the people are GREAT and they REALLY know their stuff)! My husband actually wants me to get the bigger Protank when we get a little more money. I am super happy and I want to seriously thank you all for pointing me in the right direction! I won't lie, I was trying to fight everyone to the end, I was set on getting the perfect 'cig a like' and was certain there was not going to be anything better. You all told me SO many times to get the Twist and I was dead set against it, but once I got it in my hands and played I didn't hate it, once the guy put juice in it and let me test it, I LOVED it! Guess I should have come here and listened before all that 'cig a like' crap I got (but again, I was lucky enough that I didn't spend a lot of money)! I'm sure within a couple of weeks I'll get the bigger Protank and put my current tank back on my POS battery as a back up! Maybe I'll post some more pics too.
If you do get the bigger protank, it would work better if you use the base from the mini protank and put it on the protank; you will also need to add a second silicone cap (inverted) on top the atomizer to make it fit snug; the base from the miniprotank uses the bigger threads on the outside of the eGo battery; the regular protank uses the inner 510 threads and that causes too much competition between the eletrical function, the airflow function, and space for a minor leak.
Alternatively, when you go back, ask if they have the aerotank instead of the protank; it's the latest version; the aerotank base is supposed to be useable on the protank2 and remove the airflow and leaking problems; so I hear;

Yea, I was researching the Protank and was reading there was problems with that, it's no big deal actually, since I don't use that much, not even half (if it's even been that!) of my Protank mini so I'll probably just get another mini. I really like it, the way it looks and feels. I got a stainless battery to use with my red tank until I do get the other one, but it looked GREAT with the mini, but for now it's on my pink pearl battery (still looks great, more girly for sure, but it was just so sleek on that stainless one). I like the way a bigger tank looks, I like the 'globe' look, but for me it would ONLY be for looks so I'm completely fine with another mini instead.
This is my pink twist with a 'red' (but looks pink) protank 2 mini and a pink aluminum tip.
This is my stainless twist with a purple protank 2 mini, I'm going to get a purple aluminum tip to add just a little girly-ness lol.
So happy...
Thank you! I really appreciate all your help, I'm sure I was like an annoying little sister at times lol, but I'm really happy with my set ups and in 2 days I've had 4 'real' cigs! It really helps so much more then I could have imagined having the VV!
I'm trying to 'convert' my mom who's actually doing WAY better then I was with the 'cig a likes', I did get her to pick out some juice (the Halo Tribeca, it is AMAZING! It may be just a little more for ME, but yanno lol) and I'm going to see about maybe getting her the Kanger Esmart. For me it was a matter of getting to hold and actually try my Ego Twist and I was hooked, but she 'plays' with mine all the time and says she just cannot get into it so I'd at least like to try to get her SOMETHING that's at least a little better then what she's using!
As far as having back ups for my back ups, I do still have my original set up, the red knock off ego and evod wanna-be tank lol, but I'm sure I will be getting more. I was looking at a mod yesterday, it was a fairly SMALL one though, and thought, man, I like that! Then I was like 'uh oh, I cannot be looking at moving up ALREADY, my husband would KILL me!' lol.
After being on the forum a couple years you see it over and over again. Everyone wants something just like a cigarette and as soon as they get it they want to upgrade.
