I ordered one and some heads from Vapor Tek USA along with a sigelei #24, should be here at 3PM today! Are the heads rebuildable?

I would guess they are rebuildable. They look just like Protank/Evod heads. Not sure why they aren't cross-compatible. I will definitely be trying to re-coil them. JD
 
I have an ARO here, as well as a ProTank and a MT3. The thread diameter of the MT3 is a little smaller than the inside of the ARO, so the T3s base won't fit it, being the T3s is the same thread as the T3. The ProTank coil will screw into the ARO base, but there's a little shoulder on the ProTank coil that's a hair bigger than that of the ARO coil and doesn't allow the base to reach the threads. It looks like the inside of the ARO could be Dremeled out to allow it to take the ProTank/T3s coil. The ARO coil works and vapes just fine in the ProTank, so it looks like that shoulder is the only difference between the ProTank and the ARO coils.

Incidentally, the ARO hits just like the Protank and the ProTank Mini. The glass tank doesn't affect the flavor the way a plastic one does, so all you get is your juice. I don't know that I'd ever vape out of anything other than glass again... Spoiled, I guess...:blink:

Just got a couple of these in from Eric at DV. They have really good flavor and TH right out of the box, as Eric says in his review. Yes, they need their own coils, but I'm sure they are re-buildable, as they are very similar to the Protank heads. I am definitely going to add some of these to my glass tank collection. Please let me know how you guys feel about them as you try them. Thanks! JD

PS - Could these be Protank "type" heads that actually work right out of the box, without having to remove or rebuild anything? Wouldn't that be something? I am using the head that came with it (supposedly a 2.4 ohm, but it's reading 2.2 on my Vamo) and it seemed to wick quickly and had no burnt taste, right from the start. Hmmmm

Would you say the draw is airy, like the protank? I don't like an airy draw; I was hoping the aro would have a tighter draw.

I Bought 2 Blue, 2 Red & 1 Black when madvapes had them in stock, They are my favorite tank for cinnamon red hot ejuice, I have a Kanger mini Pro tank & I like the larger size of these ARO tanks, they fit perfect on the 1300 mah Winders, a little large looking on the 1100 mah's. the only down fall is that they made the coils a bit smaller then the kangers coils, so kanger type coils dont fit. if you like bottom coil tanks then you found a glass tank that works very well for the price. I drill one hole a little larger for a smooth draw, might not need to but I like a loose draw but not as loose as a Pro tank has, +Cheers

How do these compare in size to the EVOD? I'm trying to imagine how they'd look on a standard 650mAh EVOD battery. Also not sure which replacement coils would be best for this battery- the 2.4ohm that comes with it, or the 1.8ohm. I'm currently using 1.8ohm heads in my EVODs.

If they are NOT cross compatible, I wonder if a T3s base would thread onto an ARO body. If so, one could get T3s bases from DV, and have only one stock of coil heads.

Anyone care to check this out with their new ARO and T3s base?

Anyone?

;)

I tried. It doesn't work. The M/T3S base screws into the Aro with no head installed. But with a Kanger head installed, it will not screw in.

Dang it.
