A local B&M store advised me that the PT Mini 2's release date has been delayed. Something in reference to design issues, I was told.
Protank Mini 2's delayed.

Any one looking for one can give the AnyVape Davide Mini a try. I picked one up and i really like it. 
Bummer! That is my next purchase. I have PT's and have problems with going from AC inside to Arizona heat outside and my PT floods. I don't have the same problem with MT3's or EVODS. I suspect the size of the tank and area is part of the problem with juice thinning in the heat. I want the mini! I have a few juices that require glass.
I have my pre-order in w/ Viper vape. Just checked their product page and see that the release date has been changed from the original 8/25 to 8/28. Frustrating, but not terribly so, if this is accurate. Sent a chat query to them; their response was that 8/28 is what they'd been told by their supplier. :sigh: I had 8/25 circled in red on my calendar. :another sigh: Worth waiting for, though, IMO...
While they don't have a replaceable drip tip (doesn't matter to me), the Smoktech ARO Pyrex clearo looks like it'd fit the bill. It looks almost exactly like a PT Mini, but has a metal sheathing around it. Discount Vapers has them, so do a few other other places. Only bad part is that they don't use Kanger heads interchangeably, so you'd have to buy the extra replacement heads. I tried the plastic version of the ARO, and I think I might like it better than the EVOD. My uncle has them, and hasn't had a single leak so far.
i have the same issue here in fresno bud. just fire up the AC in the car and hold the tank in front of it for a second or 2 or vape thru it, itll wick it back up. And keep all ur starbucks/tacobell/subway napkins in the glove compartment for a quick clean. i dont think its the thinning of the liquid that does it. I think its the pressure change from the cold to hot cuz its usually instantaneous. Heat makes everything expand
That is exactly what I do, hold it in front of the AC. I've heard a bunch of opinions one why and they all are possible but none quite make sense. Pressure is one of the likely choices and that would explain why the smaller EVOD with the same atty doesn't have the same problem...less space for air (air being what while change the most significantly with regard to pressure).
I'm hoping the mini PT2's will not have this problem. And I like being able to change the metal tip. I hate the metal tip on the PT's.
I actually didnt mind the tip on the original pt. I like the pt2 tip as well. Ive tried to put in other drip tips and they dont seem to fit as well. I dunno if its the machining of the original or what but it fits snug and tight as other tips wobble in it. Guess id have to mod the others to flatten the end or something. I may try it. i got a wrong color sent to me from MBV and they promptly sent out the right one. So ive got a crappy color to do some testing with.
Proud owner of 4 Protanks and 3 Protank2's cuz i likes me a big ole jug o juice
I might get me a mini just for craps and giggles to check it out.
The mini protank 2 has not been delayed. It is available. I just bought it today from a brick and mortar store. It performs just as well as the mini protank 1. However, the mini protank 2 does not have a replaceable drip tip and you cannot use your own drip tip like you can on the full size protank 2. The draw is not as tight as it is on the protank 2, mainly because of the non-removable drip tip. The draw is pretty much identical to that of the mini protank 1...not super tight but not airy like the evods either.
Kanger mini Protank II (Static Tip) - Sun-Vapers.com
Excerpt from the description @ Sun-Vapers:
For the mini Protank II there will be two versions. The idea behind the mini’s is that they are for the more conventional eGo/eVod vaper who needs to pack a big punch in a small portable package. These will be available in a static tip for those who want a no mess device, and a tip replaceable version for those who want to customize the mouthpiece. Since the release of the Protank II many vapers made note that they liked the static tips of the Kanger products and for them it was a key selling point. (Change something to please guy A and you will almost always upset guy B) It would appear in the future we will see more static tip and replaceable tip options from KangerTech to appease both parties. The item in this picture is for the Kanger Protank Mini II with a static tip. (labeled V1 by Kanger themselves) - See more at: Kanger mini Protank II (Static Tip) - Sun-Vapers.com

Yikes! Thanks for explaining static vs. removable tip, Glen. I have some PT mini 2's on order. Love the mini 1, but wanted to check out the M2 mainly for the changeable tip. Just checked my order at Viper Vape, and from the illustration they're selling the M2 w/ changeable tip. So many variations to try! 
Co-op lead just got done talking with Kanger Rep.
NO PT2 mini's with Removable drop tip for 2-3 MONTHS
Kanger Gate all over again.

I'm excited. The PT2 is a definite improvement over the first PT. Which suggests that the MPT2 will outshine its predecessor which I was only moderately impressed with. I love Kangertech's Pro Tank line and I'm stoked about these new products.
Altitude is a PITA too.
If I drive East, I climb like 1000 feet every 15 minutes.
At 4-5000 feet, an EVOD dumps a lotta juice.
Ditto on the fast food napkins!
I should probably stop every 20 miles and unscrew it a little to equalize the pressure or something.

You just need to learn to hold it top down when not vaping.
Air to the wicks = Air in/out, not juice.
Protank: so/so
Protank 2: huge improvement
Davide Mini: great tank, a little inconvenient
Mini Protank: thus far my favorite tank
Mini Protank 2: if it's anything like the Mini Protank with improvements like the protank 2, I'm going to be a big fan

I've got two of the static tip versions on the truck to my house now. After using the Protank 2 I can't stand the tigtness of the EVOD so all Protank for from here on out. Wierd thing is I didn't like the Protank 1 at all. Don't know what all they changed but it made a big difference to me.
