New mod, but what tank?

[jester8706]

Hello everyone,

I just got a brand new mod (lavatube v2.5) in the mail on Monday. I've been using a Kanger Aero tank as well as a Protank 3 with my ego twist, and am now using it with my lavatube. I was wondering if you guys have any suggestions for a tank that may work better with a mod? I want to try out different tanks, but I have been attached to my Kangers in the past and don't no where to start now!

Thanks!

Kayfun or Kayfun clone. The Kangers pale by comparison.

Kayfun nice indeed or taifun. Better go for the clones unless you have money to burn.
Most SE Asia sites have them for around 30. Don't forget to order wick and kanthal at the same time.
If you go for something more 'complicated' like a ithaka make sure to order the needed prewelded wires as well.

I too think the Kayfun is better and I absolutely love the Aero tank I have 1 and turn 3 protank 3s into aeros so that's saying a LOT

Ithaka and welded wires? News to me, and I was just thinking of getting one.

P.s. I love elipses and parenthesis...

I love my aero, I've used it much more than my protank since I gor it. I've been wanting to get into rebuildable atomizers, is there an American site that sells the kayfun?

I have a couple DCT Carto Tanks that I like from time to time. I think the flavor is better most of the time if you use quality cartos. I really like my protank 2 mini and the iclear 30s also.

another +1 for Kayfun. I have many protanks, an Ithaka and a few other tanks. Since I got a Kayfun, I haven't really touched any of the others. The Ithaka is nice (yes, you need welded wires for it...non-resitance, resistance, non-resistance, but you can buy Ready Wires for pretty cheap), but I prefer the flavor and vapor from a Kayfun. They are also fairly easy to set up after watching a few videos on youtube.

If you want to go on the cheap but good side I would try an evod. I have an iclear 30 and I like my evods better

Give cartos a try. It's interesting the flavor difference between a pro tank and a carto

Is that a general experience, that Cartomizers have a different flavor than that of a BCC? Being new, I have stuck with BCCs that completely break down for cleaning. Is there a reason to switch based on flavor?

Thanks for your thoughts,

I own a Lavatube V2.5 as well... good choice, it is a great device! I like to use rebuildables mostly... so a Kayfun (clone or original) or Fogger V3 if you don't mind tight air flow... I would definitely recommend a carto tank as well. You could get a tank from IBTanked (it will last forever) and use either a Smok or Boge (though, Boge cartos don't seem to be that great anymore...) pre-punched cartomizer.

You might want to try an Aspire Nautilus tank. Its a beast.

Get a glass tank Vivi Nova Aspire BDC.

BDC = Bottom Dual Coil ------- The tanks work great, better than most cartotanks. Fantastic flavor for a non RBA system.


Or jump into the RBAs with a Kayfun.

Once I stepped up from the egos and got a bigger mod I got a cartotank, a Russian 91 (Kayfun style tank RBA), and I already had an igo-l (rebuildable dripping atomizer). The cartotank is used for flavors that I love and will run about 30 ml through before the carto needs to be replaced. The Russian is for flavors that I'll run a tank or two through (around 8-10 ml), rewick (cotton) and refill with a new flavor. The igo-l is for sitting at home when the flavor ADD hits me. I can pull the old wick, dry burn and put a new wick in in about 2 minutes. Dripping can be a pain in the a.. though.

Kanger makes very good tanks. If you're looking to expand your horizons, I recommend the Aspire Nautilus BDC--it comes with a newly redesigned bottom dual coil and the reviews have been very good.

It's big though--5ml capacity--and heavy.

ive been running protanks on mods since i got my first mod 5 months ago. i just learned how to rebuild the heads with a microcoil and organic cotton and the flavor is sick as t!ts(credit RIP Trippers for the knowledge and the saying) check out his vid on how to rebuild the protank and try that out. kayfun is also a really good way to go but if youve never wrapped a coil i would expreiment a little with some old protank heads before diving into rebuildables because its really frustrating at first and its cheaper to throw a protank head than a kayfun(clone or real). if you do wnat to dive into building and havent before i would suggest building a coil jig. i just made mine out of a block of wood, a wood screw and a 5/64 drill bit glued into a hole i drilled with it. gives you a free hand making microcoils and allows you to really focus on getting the wraps close together.

aspire nautilus for my large tank need
pro tank II mini for my OTG build

Thanks for all of your comments guys! This board is certainly more helpful and friendly than any others I've been a member of!...I've tried other tanks before, though none you have mentioned...I bought my lavatube in a kit that came with a carto tank (Volcano calls it the Tube Tank)...It's pretty good, but I'm sure I would enjoy it more if everything but the carto weren't made of plastic...I guess the pyrex glass from those kangers has spoiled me, that is until every new coil head I put in one starts flooding after a day...I just ordered a bunch about a week ago, and every day one of them will start gurgling and flooding...Does anyone know the reason behind this? Or better yet, a fix for it? I ordered Nautilus and a Kayfun Lite clone. Thank's for the suggestions guys...Great idea natewesselink, I will definitely try rebuilding some of my Kanger heads first, God knows I have enough of them laying around.

Tried just about everything, but I'll admit my knowledge is limited. I've only been vaping since August.
