Ready to take the next step

Howdy all, I've been vaping for a year and a half. Started on e-cigs and then a protank and now mini protank 2 with a non variable battery.
So I'm thinking it's time to upgrade my battery, I like the mini protank but sometimes it's hard to get a draw from it.
1. What should I change it to?
2.Is it worth me learning to change the coil myself or should I just by replacements?
3. I dunno when I should be cleaning the head or binning the head, I hate waste too.

Help!!
I only puff on VG too now, if that makes a difference

I meant what should I change the battery to. Something low maintenance. I'm happy with the PT2

I use my mini protank 2 on a Kanger Evod VV battery (or any other VV battery) and it works great, just adjust the voltage to find that sweet spot and your good to go.

Do you have a size in mind?

or a "form".... tube, box, something else?

I would recommend.

MVP v.2 (box mod, inbuilt battery) £34.99

iTasteVV v.3 (slim square-edged eGo sized battery) £19.99 or £29.99 with 5 x iClear16

Vision Spinner 2. (1600). £19.99



if you are getting more than a week from your Protank heads, you are doing well.

What to do (rebuild, buy new) is less easy to recommend. I'm trying out some premade wick and wires from fasttech (£1.50 for 50!!) and they are working well. I also "do" microcoils and cotton wool.

Provari or Vamo
Pro tank or Kayfun lite plus
Your budget, your choice !!

First off, welcome to the forum, and congrats on sticking with vape with the gear you have. That just blows me away that you've been vaping 18 months and haven't upgraded yet.

I am decidedly the wrong person to ask. But my answer would be, every thing you do to improve ones vape is worth it. But then you are talking to a man that is totally excited that he was able to spend $220 dollars last night for an rba. No battery, no mod, just for one re-buildable atomizer. Did I need another rba, no, have plenty, but when one sees something that must be bought now, or forever be unable to add it to their collection. Well clicked buy now, went back an hour later, all sold out.

Since you are happy with the PT, being able to dial it in would be advantageous. Did see a 15 watt ego style battery out now, which may be just the thing for you. The Aspire Nautilus would probably be a better changeable atty.

That would probably get you another 18 months before needing to upgrade again. Re-buildable atomizers can ultimately provide the best, trouble free vaping possible, but, one has to have the interest, inclination, and patience to get there. When I started vaping, never wanted, or thought I'd be one of those with a collection, but coming up on my 1 year vaporversary, and seem to have a good start on one.

There's lots of options available to upgrade to, both with the battery device and the juice attachment.

If you've been happy for over a year using a fixed voltage eGo battery, then a Vision Spinner or Joytech Twist variable voltage eGo battery will be an upgrade.

There are some advantages to upgrading more to a regulated mod that has a large non-removeable battery capacity (up to 3 days) like the relatively inexpensive iTaste MVP. You can go another route and get a regulated mod that uses replaceable rechargeable batteries; that will necessitate buying replaceable batteries and a box charger for those batteries, too.

Juice Devices differ in how they wick e-liquid to the coils and are subjective to personal preference by the user:

• Clearomizers
  
  
• Cartomizers & Cartotanks
  
  
• Drip Atomizers
  
  
• Rebuildable Atomizers
