Protank questionssssssssssssss

[k9rotehexe]

So I see that a lot of people love the protank. Is it something like the vivi nova? It seems that it looks the same. What is the difference? I am thinking about getting one because of all the great reviews but I am afraid of breaking it since it is made of glass. Is that a problem? Right now I am using the T3. I like the bottom feed because it is easy... but its cold air and gets a little annoying. Someone point me in the right direction. Thanks.

I have had my protank on my lap and got out of my truck on many occasions with my tank hitting the pavement. So far, no damage. They are very durable.

I am new to vaping I've only been vaping for a little over 2 months. I use a Protank, I like it because some of the flavors (wintergreen) I have eat the plastic from my other tanks or at least thats what I am thinking it does. Anyways the Protank has been good to me. I seen online to take one of the wicks that lay on the wick that is coiled off because it reduces the flavor. So I did that and its been good.. The only two problems I see with it are, 1. me being from arizona and it being summer time, the glue that holds the mouth piece to the glass tank comes off if it gets hot (which is an easy fix) 2. problem is that when the tank gets about down to a 3rd it starts to leak, so I just have to make sure I keep it full or not let it get past that point. Overall because it allows me to vape my favorite flavor, I enjoy it a lot.

The glass is Pyrex, so it'll take a good knock before it busts. Also, juice won't eat through glass like plastic. It's bottom-coil, so it wets easily. It's a very airy draw, which many don't care for, but i love. I'm sick of sucking on clogged cartos. If you see it for $15, get it - but get extra heads or kanthal and wick, because the stock ones that come with it are pretty much crap. Of the four i got with my two ProTanks, only two work. Still well worth it.

Hi k9, Your t3 is the same design as the Protank. The protank is a revised design of the t3, and is safe to use those know-to-crack-tanks liquids in. The glass is a harder glass than say a drinking glass. They are made very well and most of the impact surfaces are metal, so you would have to do something fairly drastic to break one. If you don't like the cooler vapor of your t3 then the protank would likely be near identical. If you want something that will give you a warmer vapor the Vivi would do that a little better because the coil is mounted on top closer to the mouthpiece...... Hope that helps you a little. Happy Vaping.

I have broken a few, you can get some nice Tatroe SS tanks that will use a Protank base but you still run the risk of the base breaking and leaving part of the 510 connecter stuck in your mod. Everything will break given enough gravity. Protanks are great if you like a airrey cooler vape, there are ways to improve this but will require some fiddling. Protanks are a bottom coil device and tend to vape cooler than a top coil coil device (Vivi Nova). Some, myself included get a metallic taste from the Protank mouth piece. I'm sensitive to nickel, and lower grades of ss and cheap chrome leach nickel. If your looking at getting a new vape device, take a look at carto tanks. You get great vape production, have better control of draw, more juice capacity and use any drip tip you want. And they are a lot more consistent and less fiddly then cleromizers.

My opinion on the Protank is a and my advice is to check out some previously posted threads about them, problems and/or fixes or things ppl have had to do in order for them to work properly. You may not want to have to fuss with it in order for it to work properly, or maybe you would, Idk. I'll just say that I think the quality is poor and inconsistent and leaking is more likely than not.

I have had a protank for over a week now. At first love love loved it. Liked the draw, taste and had no problems. One week after buying it the coil went out as I was leaving for a party. I have had cheap clearomizers that's coils are still kicking after two months of use. So coils are a thumbs down. I have only put one flavor in it but a few days ago I started tasting a metal taste. I stopped using it for now, and am going to clean it out and give it another go. All in all its pretty good, but has some issues.

The KPT is a great tank.

I've had one for some time, and always hated the airy draw of it, but when used with the beauty ring, the draw improves considerably.

I use a 510-eGo adapter on just about all my mods even if not needed with the KPT. This way, there is room to adjust the beauty ring accordingly to have more control over the resistance of the draw.

Put a ProTank and a Vivi Nova side by side and differences are quite stark. Whether one works better than the other is an open question and as subject to personal preference as any piece of gear. I tamed the airy draw of my PT by adding an air flow controller and it performs exactly as I like. Its high level of sales probably has as much to do with its sleek and cool looks as its performance.

Protank have a slew of issues that some people have and some people don't have. I have had a bunch. Had to take it off again last night to due extreme burnt flavor all of a sudden. So it's sitting in a drawer until my wick and wire arrive. Rebuilding the coil heads apparently makes it a little better. The draw is too airy which in turn fails to bring juice to the coil as you draw on it. Major flaw of the protank. Even with the flow control it is still very airy. I haven't had much luck using it on anything but a simple ego battery. The power of a Vv/vw Devive just burns the coil no matter what voltage or wattage I have it set to. Last night it really got burned up on the ego and I am lost becuse it was doing well since I received some new heads. But out of no where it really burnt up. Bad enough where I need to throw a new head on it tonight. That head currently on there has maybe 2 hrs of vape time. So it's clear kanger has a massive quality control issue, because everyone is not having the same vape experience and if they were all made the same they would preform the same. It would all come Down to personal preference if they all preformed the same. So if your not into rebuild the coils, and even then not sure if it works that great, I would stay Away grab some vivi novas and some iclear30's and vape on

I've tried a ProTank, not mine tho the only concern i have with it was the leaking aside from that it is a great tank.
Pyrex glass is probably immune to all the more acidic juices on sale in the market

Sour, Citrus and Cinnamon flavors to name afew

It looks cool by itself and the tank is that Pyrex glass, but that's about it in my opinion.

The draw is airy and it whistles on each pull, and it looks absolutely ridiculous on an eGo style battery, not to mention it seems to be heavier than an eGo battery as well.

I've heard people say you can put super glue on the air flow holes or rebuild the atomizer and wicking system or put a cone on it or countless other workarounds.

In my opinion, it should work like it should out of the box. The fact that you can use eVod atomizer heads on the thing is a dead giveaway - spend $25 on the Protank or $6 on an eVod.

The only separating factor is the Pyrex glass of the Protank, and honestly, that's not a deal maker for me.

Coil is on the bottom in a protank, so your vape will be cooler. I have several going at the same time, and haven't had an issue with breaking/leaking. I dropped it a couple time too, no issues. The best thing is I can wash out the heads and change juice with minimal, if any flavor creep. Carto tanks are my backup and I have to change the entire carto.

So your saying it constantly hits perfect, you never get dry hits? Are you using stock heads or you rebuilding them? I know your not lying I just find fascinating. may I ask what device yor using the protank on?

Yea, I know it's weird after hearing so many horror stories from people getting dry hits. I have only had those on 2 occasions, and it turns out my voltage was set too high. I am using them on a Tesla and a Provari and they are stock heads (2.2ohm). I usually vape carto tanks which, for me, does perfect at 4.0v. The protanks are better (again for me) at 3.5-3.7 depending on juice.

Which resistance heads are you using?

Sorry, I edited that just as you were typing I guess. They are 2.2ohm.

 

[Bawn]

Ok see this is my point. We are using the same heads my 2.2 come In at 2.0 . I know for a Fact that a coil 2.0 can easily do 4v to 4.3 V, and it should do it perfectly fine especially when the dam coil is literally sitting juice. How kanger manages to mess all their bottom coils up is beyond me. It should wick WAY better then a top coil. But it doesn't even compare to a vivi. I am not even a huge vivi fan.

 

[Nightshard]

If you're using a bottom coil carto and it's annoying you, the protank will annoy you too, since its a bottom coil one too.

I've already dropped my protank on the floor and nothing happened to it.
Even though it's made from pyrex it seems quite sturdy.
The protank is wider then the T3 and heavier, so if used with a thin ego like battery it tends to roll around when placed.
If you're using a wider battery it should be fine.
