Noob, Tank Question......

[Bigfro23]

So I'm in my 1st month of vaping, which IMHO is the most costliest!!! I started on the Smok Ego Mini Express, just order the MVP 2.0 w/ the Iclear 16, and considering ordering the Smok SiD and with that choice I was looking to try out a couple of tanks. The 3 that I'm considering are the Smok Trophy, the Kanger Protank II, or the Iclear 30B... I've been doing alot of research on youtube but I cant seem to make a decision. I personally like the Bottom fed coil, & pyrex tank features. Any insight or personal recommendation would be greatly appreciated, as the title states I'm a complete NoooB, but I learn quick...

I have the Kanger Protank II mini and since I started rebuilding my coils and using cotton, I am extremely happy. I plan on ordering a few more. I had the iClear 16 and did not care for them but everyone's opinions vary.

I use the SID and find the iClear30S the best.

The "B" will gurgle, as do all of them. Some reports of leaking too. The Protank is not on my "use often and enjoy" list.

I like BCCs (prefer them over Top Coil) but the "S" is an awesome device, even if it has drinking issues.

Really happy with my Kanger Mini Protank 2.
It seems well made and I have had no leak/gurgle issues with 50/50 blend juice.

These are great for $10.....
RGM2 Bottom Coil Glassomizer (2.0mL) | FireCracker Vapor
If you are looking for a bigger tank...
Protank-II Style Bottom Coil Clearomizer (2.5mL) | FireCracker Vapor
If you are looking for a rebuildable...
Kayfun v3.1 ES Style Rebuildable Atomizer (4.5mL) | FireCracker Vapor
And some damn good juice to put in that tank once you get it...
FireCracker Juice | FireCracker Vapor

Thanks for all the great insight... I just ordered the kanger pro tank II to give it a try, but I'll more than likely end up trying them all!! Especially of I break down and get the SID like I'm planning!!

Nice choice. The Protank 2 remains my goto tank, despite the single coil limitations. With the potential for rebuildable heads, it's a great jumping off point for if/when you decide to tinker with homemade coils. MVP's ohm checker will come in quite handy if you opt to do so.

recomendation: stay away from the SID, get a vamo or a lavatube, heck smok has a brand new VV mod out, it looks almost like a vamo with a battery indicator. if your going to buy Smok buy the new one it looks like a Vamo knockoff

for clearos: The Smok ARO is the choice. Specially for BCC clearos that my opinion.

If you don't mind the shipping wait time, that Protank 2 style is half that price at Fasttech (which is a misnomer when shipping to the us!) $9.39 Protank-II Style Bottom Coil Clearomizer (2.5mL) - translucent / 2.5ohm / beauty ring at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

The RGM2 at fasttech is just over $3, and the Kayfun is also about half price. With free shipping on all orders.
Just don't be in a hurry to get it...

A step up from the protank would be the Kanger Aerotank - same manufacturer, uses the same family of coil units, adjustable air flow for dialing in the vape.

Myself, I'm partial to the Aspire Nautilus, which is similar to the Aerotank.

I feel like I am so out of the loop on tanks. When is started the Vivi Nova was the hotness, and it's still all I use to this day.

I feel like I am missing out. As someone who is happy with his vivi nova, which tank is the next best upgrade? The evod? Pro tank? Something else? A lot has changed in a year.

Initially, it is hard decision. However, since they are all very nice tanks, you can't go wrong with any of them.
Having said that, some minor details to make confuse help you more.

While ProTank II is excellent tank, AeroTank delivers new level of performance. Adjustable airflow makes world of difference. You can certainly stay with PT II, but switching the base to AeroTank base will make it better.

iClear 30S have been proven to be a great tank. Many prefer the warmer vapor from top coil design and 30S is a great choice for that. 30B isn't as good as 30S and ProTank is much better choice for bottom coil design.

Nautilus is brand new to the market but the performance is arguably the best dual bottom coil design so far. Downside is the high price tag and its huge size.

Another thing to consider is the lifespan of atomizer head. Based on my personal experience, iClear 30S last the longest (but refills are expensive) followed by Nautilus. ProTank atomizer heads are known for its short lifespan, but they are cheapest and easy to dry burn/rebuild.

I've been using an Aspire BDC for about 6 weeks. It's the first clearo I've tried that got me away from carto tanks. I'm a little strapped for cash being off work injured or I'd upgrade to the Aspire Nautilus:

iClear 30S have been proven to be a great tank. Many prefer the warmer vapor from top coil design and 30S is a great choice for that. 30B isn't as good as 30S and ProTank is much better choice for bottom coil design.

I had iClear 30S tanks on my SVD. I'll agree that they are very good tanks. I have two of them and neither one has ever leaked a drop.

ACTUALLY it is hit/miss on the protank 2 I would honestly go with the Protank Aero. It's awesome can adjust the airflow and the vape is excellent. I have 3 protank 3's and I am getting the air flow piece for all of them

 

[Bigfro23]

So I order a protank II online yesterday after posting and to my surprise I received it today!!!! Less than 12 hours later!!! Filled it w/ some MT Baker Vapor " Thug juice" and now I'm puffing away.... I'm highly pleased w/ it...

So after ordering the protank II, and went to my local B&M, and to my surprise they had re-stocked so I ended up leaving w/ a dual coil protank 3.. I've heard and seen alot of negative reviews on it but after having nothing but success w/ the protank II, fron the ease of use, sturdiness, and vapor production I figured why not give it a shot. After 24 hours of use I can't even notice a difference between the 2 other that the 3 requiring a different coil... I think the protank is going to be my "Go-to" for the next couple of months!!!

I use a protank 3, iclear 30b, and an evod. Protank 3 is ok, better flavor than my 30b. The 30b is my fav though, no gurgling, a bit tighter draw, great vapor production and a cooler vape imho. But the evod is just plain awesome for the price and ease of use. Going to be getting an aspire nautilus this weekend.
