I have 4 total and now I barely touch my iclear30's anymore (they still work great) and my 1 vivi-nova is collecting dust.
Isn't life great :) I've had my ProTank for a week now, and there is no way that I prefer it to the iClear30 !? Mind you, I HATE the swivel tip on the iClear.

Did you take one of the flavour wicks out?! It makes a WORLD of difference to the flavour you get out of the ProTank.

My love is fading I've been seeing liquid on battery the past couple days which annoys me to no end. Cleaning my battery contact of liquid is not on my daily list of things to do. Took it apart cleaned it and made sure everything was tight so will hope it doesn't happen regularily.

I've seen it as well. I suspect you can only use the head so many times before that plastic ring begins to deform a bit and allow a tiny bit of liquid past. I'm not that heartbroken over it as I have a couple of boxes of spares and the originals did last a lot longer than my vivi heads do.

Yea I'm with you here. I love the pro tank but the iclear 30 is a beast for flavour. If innokin made it glass I'd be all over it.

I just took the head out of the leaking Protank and took a close look at the rubber o-ring as well as the plastic one. The rubber was deformed slightly as was the plastic o-ring. It wasn't leaking much, but you could see a bit of sheen on the mod. Replaced the head and all is good. Going to take the borked one apart to see just how difficult re-wicking these things will be.

Without the 20-25 dollar desklamp magnifier it'd be next to impossible for this blind bat.

Got mine on sale I guess, reg. price is 39.99.

After reading some of the posts here, I decided to order a couple of pro tanks from canvape. I have never really been a big fan of bottom coil tanks in the past, but thought I would give these a try and see for myself what the hype was all about. Well they arrived this morning and my first thoughts are impressive. One of the cons I read was the drip tip is not interchangeable, true but, the drip tip is very comfortable. I haven't had any issues with leaking or gurgling, I have also read that you need to keep a juice level of 1/3 or better. I am very pleased with the good solid vapor production even at lower voltage. I have not experienced any loss in flavor, in fact I find it to be better than my vivi nova's. I make my own vg juice, so it is thicker than a pg/vg mix. I would also agree with an earlier post that fruit flavor juices need a lower voltage and dessert flavor juices need a little high voltage. Also pleased with the fact that the pro tank comes with a cone to stream the look when using a twist battery. Another big bonus is the price of the replacement coils, very affordable. The pro tank is a juice hog but I guess that's the price of good vapor production. I like the pro tank so much that I ordered two more today. I guess I'm a bottom coil fan now.

I like the warmer vape of the top coils more but the flavor is allot better in a bottom coil like the protank.

I hear you on that one, but I really don't mind the cooler vape. That's the thing with vaping, what is good for one is not good for all. Must always keep that in mind whether its hardware or juices. The thing is, you have to try different things to come up with your own conclusions and what works best for you. And like most things in the vape world, there is pros and cons to everything and that includes the pro tank.
