Plastic tanks vs Glass tanks Reviews

[proverbs]

Hello.

I was curious on what everyone thought about these two types of tanks. I based my tank purchases on the reviews I read, and ended up with the Protank 2, mini PT 2, Davide, and mini Davide. The Protanks have been awesome. Hits like a champ every time and no leakage problems. The Davide on the other hand, looks great, but both the regular and mini had leakage problems. All of my tanks are GLASS. The negative with glass is that it can break if dropped, and it's very HEAVY. The positive is that it feels really solid and high quality.

So, I was vaping on my buddies eGo with a Kanger eVod tank and it seemed to hit very nicely. However, he did admit that he had leaking problems coming out of the tip. The pro was that it was super light and seemed to give the same hit performance as the PT2.

What do you guys prefer as a great all around tank? I'm definitely leaning towards the plastic tanks now since it is so light and much easier to carry around. I also like the bottom coil tanks, as they are the easiest to refill when you run out of juice.

Any recommendations? TIA!

Morning! I have used all of those tanks and have actually moved away to carto tanks. I find that I get the most flavor and really good hits from them. They can be a bit fiddly at first, but that is mostly just learning curve. You may want to give them a try.

I prefer glass as I do a lot of fruit flavors. Anything acidic or cinnamon will crack a plastic tank

Morning. Both protanks are easy fills and if I am in a hurry to get out the door, I just fill one and done. However, my main toppers are carto tanks, glass ones. Nothing yet can top the flavor and longevity of the carto. jmho

The Davide on the other hand, looks great, but both the regular and mini had leakage problems.

Greetings; Thanks for the review, though i'm not happy to hear your comments on the Davide, because I have a Mini arriving in a couple days. I specifically chose it over the Pro Tank II based on comments in other ECF threads. I'm hoping I can find a good every day device without having to try a large number of clearomizers.

The above remark about carto tanks has made me curious.

Regards
Glenn

I've used a large variety of clearomizers and cartotanks over the last 1.5 years. Clearomizers are nice for being easy to fill and when you are in a hurry to fill something an run out of the house. They are often lacking in flavor and mute many flavors. My favorite is the Innokin iClear 30 (dual top coil, 16 wicks, rotatable tip). These come the closest to the flavor production of my pyrex cartotanks. Grimm Green review of iClear 30



I prefer the IBTanked pyrex cartotanks for my all day juice attachment. Best flavor and vapor production, no dry hits, zero maintanance. Review of the IBTanked

I have been "leaning" towards pyrex tanks now for almost 6 months. (I don't use evods at all any more).

The vapour from an evod or mini protank should be more or less even, but I find the minis 100% performers so far. 3/5 of my evods leaked. 5/5 of my T3 Kangers leaked.

I bought a mini davide - it didn't wick well (fast) enough and then I lost the drip tip. So, I shan't get any more of them.

I love the PT 2....... and am eagerly awaiting the PT 3........

Use the Vision Vivi Nova for regular juices. "Acidic" juices I switch to a carto+ Pyrex tank. Actually get a better and more flavorful vape from carto+ tank but Vivi/ clearo is more convenient.

I was curious on what everyone thought about these two types of tanks. I based my tank purchases on the reviews I read, and ended up with the Protank 2, mini PT 2, Davide, and mini Davide.

I have not used the Davides. I have used both the Protank 2 and Mini Protank 2, and I like both a lot. I did have to make some adjustments to the Protank for use on my mods (they weren't wicking fast enough so I removed some flavor wick), but I think some fiddling to get the right results is normal.

The Davide on the other hand, looks great, but both the regular and mini had leakage problems.

There are a number of threads with troubleshooting tips for Protank/Mini Protank/Evod users, so I'm willing to bet there may be some good tips for Davide users. If you're having a problem like leaking, it can probably be fixed.

So, I was vaping on my buddies eGo with a Kanger eVod tank and it seemed to hit very nicely.

I have Evods as well as Protanks, and they are good clearos.

However, he did admit that he had leaking problems coming out of the tip.

If he's referring to the mouthpiece, it's probably condensation. My recommendation would be to continue drawing a little bit longer after releasing the button, or perhaps occasionally swabbing the top of the tube with a pipe cleaner/paper towel corner/Q-tip.

I'm definitely leaning towards the plastic tanks now since it is so light and much easier to carry around.

The Evods are great. The only drawback is that some juice flavors such as cinnamon, wintergreen, citrus, and clove do not work well with plastic tanks. (Here are some examples from Mt Baker.) Glass tanks relieve any concern about that. But if you have juice that works in plastic, no worries! You may also be interested in the Kanger Unitank, a top-fill plastic tank made by the same folks.

I have not used too many different tanks. But from what i have used the kanger T3s is really nice, light , plastic, no dripps. I just got the Protank 2, and its heavy. With that said, i rather the PT 2, it hits good, dont leak and the air flow is just right for me. I guess you have to just try different hardware to find the right combo for you. You will be the best judge of what works best for you. LOL

I started vaping using plastic - both Kanger clearomizers and various cartotanks.

Once I tried glass (Davide mini), all my plastic has been sitting unused. I actually loved the Davide mini so much I ordered more. I haven't had any issues with mine at all.

I have also now moved on to IBTanked glass cartotanks.

I suspect any perceived difference in the vape experience I get from glass versus plastic is mostly (if not all) in my head, but nonetheless, I don't think I will ever go back to plastic.

3/5 of my evods leaked. 5/5 of my T3 Kangers leaked.

Greetings; Glad to hear it's not just me in terms of leaky EVODS, it looks like this model has a good rep among ECF members generally, but I abandoned the one I bought after a couple days due to leakiness.

The positive comments about the PTII in this thread (and others) have me thinking about trying one. That's a great thing about this technology, it's inexpensive to try out different stuff, especially given how most things have to be replaced eventually anyways.

regards
Glenn

I am a carto guy all the way. Have several tanks and all of them are Pyrex. I like being able to choose my juice without worrying or wondering if it is gonna crack it. Just my thoughts on that. I also have a couple vivi novas, but those are now the back up to my back up cartos. Good flavor and wicking until the tank is about half then you have to do the tippy swirly deal. Haven't had a pro tank yet so can't comment on than. Did have the kanger mt3 and threw it away after the first fill. Horrible leaking issues. Hope this helps. Probably doesn't. Lol

I'm the opposite. I'm moving away from my EVODs to all glass because I don't want to worry about the Tank Crackers that I use. My favorite so far is the Mini Protank 2. I'm curious about the cartos now! might have to try for the sake of trying.

Why did I read this thread . Now I want to try a carto tank

What an excellent comment.

Well, they are good. (the good ones)

I am a big fan of Kanger pyrex clearomisers, but I secretly vape at home almost exclusively on carto-tanks.

 

[SPmick]

All about the glass for me..

Same here... tried alot of plastic based clearomizers for one time use and toss also re-usable tanks but after being introduced to the kangertech's protank 2... im 100% addicted just to these tanks. Don't know if it has to do with plastic tanks in general but PT2 are just amazing.
