Need opinions on these cheap tanks...

[jstevanus]

I haven't bought any new equipment in a few years, so I'm not up to date on what's going on lately. Right now I have a 1000mAh e-Go Twist which a cheap tank clearomizer that came free with an order. I'd like to get a new one, since this one doesn't seem to be hitting as hard as I'd like, and even with the Twist turned all the way up. I want to just try a few cheap ones before I spend more. Here are a few really cheap ones I found. Any worth trying?

First, I would not buy e-cig supplies from e-Bay. Ever! I suggest that you get them from reputable e-cig vendors.

Second, depending on how old your Twist is, it could be going out. Lithium-Ion batteries are said to last for 300 charge cycles, though many last a lot longer.

Third, the CE4 is a pretty cheap plastic tank that doesn't last very long. Aside from that, I have found that plastics, even the newer, better ones, will taint the color and flavor or nearly all juices, and do it rather quickly. Most CE4's I have seen are the older plastic... especially the less expensive ones. Those are worse at tainting.

The eGo Twist is a pretty nice battery design, if you don't want a Mod. I'd recommend something like a ProTank II Mini. "Mini" means it's the same approximate diameter as your Twist. You can replace the Atomizer Head, instead of having to throw out the tank like a CE4. And you can get replacement Atomizer Heads in a range of ohms, to suit your vape style. The ProTank II has a Pyrex Glass Tube. With that, it will not taint your e-liquid, and you can vape anything, including Cinnamon Red Hots and Citrus Flavors. And the ProTank II Mini may be taken fully apart for easy cleaning.

I hope this helps.

I agree with VG. CE4 is an old technology and I never liked them even when they were new.

Get a new battery--Twists, eVods (vv) and Spiinners are very good and inexpensive, and try a better clearomizer. If you're not using any corrosive, tank-cracking juices like cinnamon or citrus, grab any polycarbonate tankomizer from the Kanger BCC lineup; they are very reasonably priced, the replacement coils are cheap, and they are all very good. I like the T3S, baby T3S, T2 (top coil), eVod and Protanks.

I bought a 5 pack of CE4s. Used them for a short period and trashed them. They never wicked properly and can't be cleaned. Quickly went back to evods and dcts. They are also fairly cheap and can be reatomized easily. Also, I have use cinnamon and citrus without cracking them, yet!
