so i just started vaping yesterday and all was going great. tried a few different flavors since my order from vapedudes came in. i ended up putting some strawberry lemonade in the tank. now vapedudes says it can crack tanks occasionally. i put maybe 1ml in the tank to vape with. 15 minutes later it completely blew apart in my hands. i was gonna get the kanger pro tank but was wondering if there are any other good options in the same price range or cheaper that will hold up to the stronger jiuces

heres the tank. mini vivi nova

Welcome , but you can only use those sort of juices in either a glass ( pyrex ) or metal tank . They have metal tanks for the Vivi's . Also the Kanger Pro Tank , costs around 18.00 m but has a pyrex ( glass ) tank , so safe to use those juices . Good luck . Remember , most citrus type juices as well as any containing cinnamon , can crack or break plastic tanks . Good Luck

Yea be wary when using citrus/cinnamon flavors, Protank won't have any issues with those juices = pyrex tank. I have a couple of poly tanks and I have since bought/used nothing but pyrex because I don't have to worry about cracking or leaching. Wish I would have known that before I spent money on plastic, live and learn. I believe Protanks are pretty comparable price wise to Vivi Novas.

i got a pro tank because i was smoking cinnamon and most flavors that i want to try crack tanks.

and at first i did not believe the guys at my local vapor store, i figured what is it gonna make a difference what flavor it is
but then in a few days i noticed little tiny lines/cracks starting to appear in my iclear 30 and now i am a believer lol

but anything thats metal or glass is suppose to be safe

I notice the tank that cracked is a Vivi nova. You can get a metal replacement tank for a couple of bucks for it so don't throw out the good parts:)

And you don't have to borrow any crayola parts from your kids :D (nice hack though)

For around $3 you can get the metal tank here ViVi Nova Metal Tanks

This ^^^ But if you want a protank I'd say go for it. I admit I bought one thinking there would be better quality because of the higher price. Im not sure if thats the case or not. But I bought one and I loved it so much a bought another a week later. The replacement heads are also under $2 for each one. Everything else is like $3 per head/carto. The vape quality on the protank is super nice. Im sure the price is only because its 100% metal with a glass tank.

But yeah in short. if you want one, get one. I want more of em lol.

3 bucks per carto?? Where you shopping lol? Sure vapes has boges for 90izh cents per.

And the protank can be rebuilt fairly easily so it can be pennies

i love modding stuff. i will not throw the parts away. i messaged my wife at work and told her my tank broke. i told her i will figure out something in no time. bam a marker cap came to mind and it works great. no leaking and just as good as the normal tank. i was gonna order a clear protank for me and a purple protank for my wife but discountvapers is out of stock on the purple. off i go to hunt some down lol
