I had it for 2 days before the base broke. Before that, I LOVED it. I hadn't had any bottom coils before so I can't compare to others but it was awesome. Never a dry hit, I didn't have any leaking though I have heard others have had problems. The only issue is the threading on the base is can break off VERY easily. I am waiting for Discountvapers to get the replacement bases in stock. I plan to buy as many as I can so I don't have to replace the tank. Kanger apparently knows about the defect and supposed to be working on making a better base. I hope this is true. I did email them about it (as my local B&M which is usually awesome about replacing or fixing things, would not replace my Protank) but haven't heard back.

Nope, get a metal vivi nova and an EVOD instead - for about the same price.

I'm kind of kidding, it's alright, I need to mess with it a little more to tighten the draw on it. It looks the part, it's glass and mine at least seems very well built. You can get them cheaper and cheaper now, so I would say yes, go for it.
 
I love my protanks. The first one I got in the mail I don't think was fused together right as a little juice would dribble from the top where the glass met the metal mouth piece - myvaporstore.com sent me a new one though :)

The airy draw took a little getting used to, and I was shocked but it does have amazing vapor production. Just plumes of vapor! Flavor is really great in it too.

You can lessen the airy draw either with an air flow controller (I have not tried, just read about them) or you can use a evod bcc atomizer head instead of the protank one to lessen the airy draw.

After doing that though, I switched back to te protank head - I don't mind the airy draw because that great vapor production is worth it!

I'm not sure, but I also think the fact that the mouthpiece is metal makes for a cooler vape - a plus for me.

All in all, I'm very pleased with the two protanks I have currently. Definitely worth it.

Yes for the average cost of 11 bucks it's way cheaper then a pack of smokes. Provided we don't use it as a hammer it should last a very long time, replacing the coil here and there of course at a minor cost. Also to get a less airy draw switch the coil with one from an EVOD works great.

Where are you getting a ProTank for 11 bucks? Have they come down that much? Not too long ago they were $20.

Ok kanger mt3 got me off the analogs. That said I got my first two pro tanks yesterday and the mt3 are now emergency back up. The flavor and vapor production is amazing. I don't notice the weight it just feels right. Still worry about breaking it but that's worth the chance. I've never had a day vaping like this ever. Omg best day ever.
