Quick protank update

[darkhood]

One question. How did you fill that thing 2 times in under 30 seconds?

I'm assuming i said something asinine in my op that's making u say that...i didn't reread it or edit lol so i have no idea what ur talking about but if i implied something along those lines and made a nefarious claim then ok you got me.... guilty as charged/ smartass

I love my glass tanks, but if the Protank is as good as you describe it will be so wonderful for the days I don't have time to prime cartos.

yea i did the same thing pulling the bottom out of ce4's to loosen the draw.

My Titan wasn't working at all. I thought it had a DOA coil. Then I watched a video that someone linked to regarding gently pulling out the top of an Ego battery so that it would make contact. But I had already figured out that there was a gap where the coil was supposed to contact the battery, and my batteries were working just fine with everything else. I'm thinking the guy who did the video didn't have a pair of needle nosed pliers; it's certainly the easier way to go, and would cause less $ of damage if screwed up.

It rly is...I was patiently waiting for a pyrex vivi nova to come out but at the same time grew to hate my vivi's for their infinite capacity to rob flavor and generally piss me off - trying to keep the wicks soaked while also avoiding the burnt taste from cranking up the voltage trying to get a decent, consistent hit... someone idk who suggested the protank to me like 4 weeks back after I posted a help me thread stating exactly what I wanted, mainly an atomizer tank w replaceable heads like a vivi but w/o the top loaded long wicks that could take any juice I could throw at it so preferably pyrex. Ever since I've been waiting for this thing to get here from china and w/ all my expectations it still didn't disappoint, in fact it's exceeded them so far.

And if I didn't say it before I'll say it now, I know most of the 'pros' use carto tanks but I tried and tried and just couldn't get past the chemical taste, no matter how I filled them and believe me I used every method there is, how long I let em soak, they all had this nasty chemical taste I couldn't get past so for me this is the best of both worlds - the clean taste of a clearo w/ a pyrex carto-tank-style shell that's sleek looking, easily maintainable and cleanable w/ replaceable heads. It's the best thing to come along since I started vaping (and discovered DIY).

Oy its kinda nice sometimes when someone says something as simple as nice review, very funny....makes me wonder why i'm even bothering defending myself here or whatever it is I'm doing...explaining my whole stance just to justify regurgitating my well-gestated opinions all over u fine folks this eveing.... Well whatever at least now u know where i'm coming from... a lil perspective never hurt anyone.

 

[FACE MEAT]

I concur with darkhood's praise. It's freaking awesome. My other clearos haven't seen the light of day since my Protanks arrived.

Anyone wanna buy a bunch of lightly used T3s, Vape Only BCCs and Vivi Novas?

 

[darkhood]

Lol, I concur w/ this concur and sidenote I threw my STV off my balcony last nigh purely out of disgust. That and my protank told me to but that's besides the point, I was gonna do it anyway, unprovoked or otherwise it was facing the fire.

 

[Horselady154]

Noob question alert. What are the heads using for wicks?

 

[FACE MEAT]

They're short silica wicks.

 

[darkhood]

lil mini wicks - bout 1/2 inch long, they sit on the bottom of the tank and are always saturated. about to take the top one off as per pbsuerdo's advice. no idea what it does but if the fat italian says to do it it's worth a shot.

 

[The Ocelot]

It's here!

1) Very nice box with a hologram sticker (I guess to protect against fraud). Maybe they will skip the box in the future and the price will go down.
2) Signed thank you note from Edward - nice touch
3) Good thing it came with pictures of how to put it together (I've never had a bottom coil tank, so I would have had to Google it).
4) Sleek and pretty. I hope they come out with a brushed steel version, I have a feeling I'm going to scratch it up.
5)...I can't decide what juice to put in it!

ETA: It's a heavy, solid little critter.

 

[darkhood]

Stop being sarcastic and just grace us w/ ur opinion already...the suspense is killing me.

 

[darkhood]

I must know what the great ocelot thinks of this device. Will it show up in his left paw alongside his trusty provari? pls tell us how the story ends.

 

[darkhood]

actually i really am curious lol for some reason ur avatar commands respect..

 

[The Ocelot]

Checked resistance: 2.6ohms; set voltage: 4.6v; The draw is a bit airy, as I've read about, but that's no big deal and easily remedied. Very nice vape! No tentative draws (to make sure you don't get a mouth full of juice) needed! It's great right out of the box! Looks nice on a Twist with the included thread cover (although it feels a bit top heavy); feels more balanced on a ProThingy. I'd give it a 10, except that I'm going to have to do something about the airy draw. I will be buying another one.

 

[darkhood]

I love how ppl are instantly won over by this thing...mine's an evil mountain gorilla in heat - won't lemme even look at my other devices. I seriously haven't touched anything else since I got it.

 

[LazyBulldogge]

Want want want want want want want! Get in the game, European vendors!
Nice review/first thoughts, thanks

 

[darkhood]
