I will keep the link you posted for the future when I decide to start tinkering with things. Good stuff. I feel much better just being able to cut down my analogs per day. Coughing much less, sinus improving and I feel like my lungs thanking me for just the reduction. The hardest thing is when I go out drinking which is mostly every other night. Thats when the analogs cravings kick in big time for me. Cant wait to finally ween off the analogs and get all the crap out of me.

@max I'd suggest a high nic tobacco cape to satisfy those bar nights! A few vapes off 36mg and you'll be good!
Also as others said the airy draw at first was a turn off for me, but after going from the pro tank to a clearo or vivi, I find I like the airy draw more. Even with a 70/30 mix I get HUGE clouds!

On this note...
Rewicking and even recoiling the protank isn't that bad. I just did it for the first time (first rebuild ever actually) and I would have got it on the first shot if my scissors were sharper and didn't pull the wicks(messing up the coil) when I went to trim them. 3rd try was the charm. All in all about 30 minutes and I had it totally rebuilt even with my cutting problems. Honestly it tastes better and wicks better now than it did before the rebuild.
So don't let it intimidate you. If I can do it I assure you nearly anyone can.
Drinking is one of many triggers. Triggers, in the addiction world, are things that make you want to USE whatever it is you are addicted to.
For me, triggers for analogs were sex, waking up in the morning, after a meal, out drinking, before i go to bed, while driving, while socializing, etc.
If you can recognize your triggers, the next step is to actively and consciously replace using analogs with vaping when your triggers are activated.
If you can do that, you will drop analogs at a MUCH faster rate.
I was smoking 1pack a day, and was able to drop analogs completely from Day3 of vaping on. No struggle whatsoever, 18mg/ml. For some it will be harder, for others easier.
Good luck
Try exhaling slowly through your nose instead. The mouth and throat is where Juice Nic is absorbed for the most part.

Saw a video of a reviewer dropping the protank from at least 6 feet in the air...twice. and it didnt break. the glass on this thing is strong as hell. he did a ultrasonic or something test on it, it was extremely thick glass... something like .90 on the meter, think it means 90 thousandth of an inch or something, but apparently that means it is real thick glass.
I've only read a couple of posts that said the user dropped the pro tank and it broke at the threaded part. Nothing about the glass breaking though. I've got 2 coming Tuesday with 10 extra heads. I plan to do a noobs prospective review of the pro tank. Maybe it'll help some new people when making a decision on new gear.
Actually your video and Eddies tutorial and help through pm's is what made me decide to buy the pro tank. So thank you and thanks to Eddie for his help also. It's guys like you 2 that take a lot of the guess work out of vaping and make it more enjoyable for new guys like me. Thanks!

If it's not broke, don't try to fix it. I vape mostly 50/50 or 60PG/40VG and I usually just leave the wicks be. Actually you can simply take out a few strands of wick from the top by using tweezers. This way you don't have to disassemble anything. Does help with higher VG juices.
Tasty Vapor. They will mix juice up at 36 and 48mg, but that is mostly for people who want to buy a doubler (same flavor, 0 nic) and mix up a large batch of their favorite flavors at a lower level... I feel that 36mg is exceedingly high, and you should research juice with WTA or supplement with snus before vaping at that high level of nicotine. I smoked one pack a day, and when I quit (several times...) 18mg was enough to make me queasy.
(edit) If you're looking for tobacco flavors, this is not the vendor for you. They have flawless dessert and cocktail flavors, but no 'baccy.

This community helps a lot with the process of learning how and what to vape to get you to fully enjoy the process and quit the analogs. Its good to know that there are still good people out in the world even though it feels like its going to hell sometimes.
ECF is bursting at the seams with good people. It's the rest of the world that's going to hell in a hand basket.
I was a smoker for 20 years, the last 7 of those years I also dipped skoal while smoking. I always had a dip in my lip. I started with 12mg nic and am still there. The protank, the little beast it is gets me buzzin good after about 3-4 chain vapes on 50/50 or 70/30 with no flavor wicks taken out. I have noticed though that some heads are hit or miss. I have one head (brand new) that will not fire at all, pulled the flavor wick and it looked like a 5 year old coiled it. The current head I have on it is working great. Quick question. Is there a break in period for the heads? I've noticed a slight yuck taste for about the first half of the tank on a new head. Is there a way to get rid of that with new heads before using them? Thanks in advance.
Clean the new tanks. Then soak it for a few minutes in vodka. Use a paper towel to dry it out, reassemble and dry fire several times. Should help with the taste.
