    I never was too big on the Pro tanks but the Kanger Subtanks really got my attention. So easy to build and very forgiving too. Good thing since I was so terrible when first building.....probably still am but it seems to work ok for me. lol

    :)
    I actually didn’t like the Protanks at all.

    But I did. I would put the coil in and twist it until it seated. Did not seem to make a difference. Any suggestions?

    :)
    Do you have another pod you could try? If you’re on fb I’m sure someone on the Innokin thread could help. Outside of that first time my zbiip has never leaked.

    Well, I would say some but not necessarily lots. They were a decent atty in their time to be sure.
    Still good enough for me. A Spinner with a small tank is a decent vape also.

    I thought of that. Leaked on both the original and the 4ml. Too bad cause I was really enjoying the vape.

    have not been on FB for years....no desire to return either.

    I had that problem with the zbiip just once. I didn’t have the coil locked in properly.

    Same here. I had one coil that just wouldn't seat properly in it for some reason. I switched that one out to the Zenith, no leaks there, and put a new one in the z-biip.

    I mixed up two new peppermint recipes today and I tried the three I mixed on Saturday. All three are good but I think I overdid the menthol. I plan to remix them without menthol, then add some in if needed. The two I mixed today have no menthol or WS-23. They both might need some of one or the other but I figured I would try them first and then decide. If any of these are earth-shattering, I will certainly share here. I might replace the marshmallow in one of them with Oba Oba just to see what happens. :D

    I have 3 zbiip with original tanks, 2 Zeniths, 1 small Zlide and 2 4ml Zlides . None leak. There is a thread here on ECF. Maybe you can get some help there.

    Things that were great about when the protanks came out, we could change out the coils without rebuilding, the glass tanks for tank cracker liquids that kept killing the CE4's if I remember right, and the ego threading. Those old 510's stripped out and snapped too easily. The general 510 manufacturing quality today is much better than it used to be. Were protanks the father's/mother's of modern subohm tanks? IDK, maybe, my memory has a few holes lol!

    Thanks Fran, but I have put it in storage. I have kinda moved on but one day will re-visit it. Thanks for the suggestions.

    Please do share if you find a winner. I like peppermit and always have a tank full of peppermint (5%) and koolada (2%) going. It makes a very nice change of pace to the french vanilla creme and the fruit mixes I always have going.

    Me too but just plain peppermint in a carto tank. It cuts the sweetness down for me.

    You folks are taking me down memory lane with all the talk of old gear. I know I have some 510 cartos somewhere, some lr302 atties, subtanks, protanks, and even a couple 510 atties. I have 8-10 original crown tanks and rbas. One of my favorite flavor tanks was the Merlin. I bought five of them and every one seeped liquid out the bottom. Every once in a while I get one out to use.

    Two questions please...
    Which creme de menthe do you like?
    And... does oba oba mute flavors? You use it in place of marshmallow????
