I received a set of RGM2 glass clearos from fasttech last week and decided to do a comparison to a Protank Mini 1.
$3.32 RGM2 Bottom Coil Clearomizer (2.0mL) - glass tank / 2.2ohm at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
Basics:
The PT1 is about 1/4" taller. The diameter is the same.
The RGM2 is supposed to hold 2 ml although I did not verify this. A bit above the capacity of the PT1 I think.
The RGM2 looks very much like a Kanger evod although the 2 windows are quite a bit wider than the Kanger. The RGM2 window also lets you see down to the chimney seal cap thingy (it must have a name) and gives a good view of the juice level.
Neither has a removable drip tip. The only part that can be removed is the base with the coil.
The tips have a different profile and the inside of the RGM2 tip appears slightly wider.
The RGM2 base is the same as a standard Kanger evod clearo base. It also has 3 air holes like the Kanger and can use stock Kanger coils.
The RGM2 coils are almost identical to Kanger coils. They would be hard to tell apart except that the RGM2 ohms are marked on the base just below the chimney rather than on the bottom of the base like Kanger.
All the coils I received were marked 2.2 and all tested at 2.3 on my meter.
I have had both roll off the coffee table multiple times and the glass has never broken.
PT1 on the left. RGM2 on the right.
The test:
Both clearos were thoroughly cleaned and dried before use.
I used a new coil that I made in both the RGM2 and the PT1. Each coil tested at 2.1 ohms and had a cotton yarn wick with no flavor wick.
The base of each has tape over one of the holes to give the draw I like.
I filled each tank with approximately the same amount of the same tank cracking liquid. Both wicks were primed and sat about 15 minutes.
Both were vaped on a Vision Spinner 1300 at 3.5 volts.
The draw felt the same on both although there is a slightly different mouth feel to the RGM2 tip.
No gurgling or dry hits on either.
Both produced satisfactory vapor and taste. Non-objectively I felt the RGM2 produced a tiny bit less vapor (I don't go for clouds) and a barely noticeable but slightly harsher taste.
But if not for the different tip I am not sure If I were blindfolded that I could tell the difference between the 2 as to vapor or taste.
How the RGM2 will hold up to use - only time will tell.
I hope this might be useful to anyone looking for an inexpensive glass tank.
At $3.32 the RGM2 is worth a try to see how it works for you.
