New Pro Tank Glue Issue

[vang0gh]

The Pro tanks seems like a bad tank,all i hear is it falls apart.

So far I've had no issues with mine. I did manage to crack one, but I can hardly blame that on the tank. We'll have to see how they hold up over time, but right now they are by far my preferred delivery device.

I've never tried a vivi nova. So, I have no input as to weather or not they are good or bad. But, in the short time I've been on the forums I've seen a lot of threads about leaking and wicking issues. I've also seen a lot of posts by people that think they are the best thing ever created. Like the Protanks, I have a feeling it's just the by-product of being mass produced and highly popular.

To each their own I guess.

I have four and haven't had any issues. I did see a you tube video showing a guy fixing his with just some clear bathroom silicone wipe into joint between glass and tank on the outside let dry all fixed.

I have had great luck with my Protanks. After an initial airy draw and light flavor, I started using my EVOD coils. The protank hits much more richly and I love the flavor. Much better than any of my other devices. I have tried T-2 and T-3s, CE 4 and 5's, Vivis, and a few others. The closest I have found to Protank good was the EVODs, which I still use.

There is some QC issue with them, since the complaints I hear are quite frequent. I ordered three of the new batch, which have addressed some of the QC issues. We shall see how this batch does.

I swear ive had the opposite luck with my Protank. Ive dropped it twice and sat on it on my mod in my pocket. I use a beauty ring to snug against the bottom on the inside of my evic ring so it cant wobble which im sure helps as the 510 looks like it would break easily to me

I dont know why it wont let me like your post. Protanks and Evods are just light years better than anything ive tried, and i also use evod heads in both.

I have no leaks with the vision nova tanks what so ever,but i do find the AGA tanks seeps and makes my Vamo slimy,i also keep them standing up at all times.I think i would like the Evods like i do the novas,its hard to find the perfect tank.

Do you think that gorilla glue would fix it? I just found some in my drawer.

The glue may react with the ejuice??food grade silcon in a tube would be great.

Thats too bad, could have solved the problem

I have both a Vision Mini Vivi Nova (all metal variety) and an EVod. They both have Pro's and Con's but I hate the fact that there is no such thing as an all metal EVod they are all plastic with a metal covering with a window slit. So for now I use my Vivi for tank cracker juices and the EVod for the safe juices.

I too have all metal vison novas,anodized alumium,wont react too any type of juice,i love the metal tanks,i have a 3.5 ml but i had too sand it down flush so it would fit the orings better and not leak.

I got 4 ProTanks a few months ago and they are all still working great. only mistake I made was buying a lot of replacement coils... I learned shortly after getting them that rebuilding my own coils for them make them about 10x better. I mostly running them at 1.2-1.4 ohm using .5 x .1 ribbon kanthal and 2-3mm silica wicks... I tried SS, but the space is too small and fiddly for me to do this well. I have reused the same coils I built about a month ago solidly, just occasionally rinsing and dry burning to clean them off.

It may work,the glue,looks like the glue is applied too the outside of the glass and the wall of the tank,it maybe fine.

Just prewrap the wire around a drill bit and insert the SS mesh after,just make sure you oxide the wick really good.I have all my novas with SS wicks.

I wonder if anyone has a good answer regarding the use of gorilla glue. I am going to start a thread about that.
