I like the glass tanks personally mostly because I never have to worry about a liquid.
I've not had a problem with an Evod yet, and I love them, but if I had to choose between them I'd probably go with the glass for the same reason. I don't think either is a bad choice, though. I love 'em. :)

I have 2 T3s clearos, an EVOD, and a Mini Pro tank II. I like all of them, but probably would rate the Mini PT slightly above the others. Can't go wrong with any of them IMO. I have had occasional gurgle issues with the T3s, but not often and never much of an issue. The draw on the Mini PT is noticeably different to me. It's still "airy" like the others, but seems more "pure" than the others. Hard to explain until you try both.

I have the non-removable drip tip version of the Mini PT II, but the local guy I bought it from gave me a replacement top section from the newer version today, so I am going to try it out soon and see if I like it better. The metal does mildly bother me at times, so we shall see how a plastic tip works on it.

I've got three EVODS and a mini Protank 2 (another on the way). Love all of them, the flavour on the Protank is a bit nicer but I don't like how top-heavy it is on Ego/Evod/Spinner batteries when I'm out of the house, it feels a bit unwieldy. I was experiencing dry hits (ugly burning gym locker smell, to my nose) on the EVODs but I think it's mostly because I was exceeding their capacity to wick juice (I'm 17 days in, not an analogue since, but I tend to chain vape at times to get a harder nic hit). Now that I'm tempering a bit, no dry hits; I'm getting to know how much is too much.

One really important thing to me is that I can swap the heads between the EVODs and the PT, which means if you only buy even a five-pack of replacement coils, you can always have one cleaned, dry-burned, and ready to go, whichever tank you decide to bring with you, even if you've got four tanks loaded up with various juices. To me, it turns out that's really, really useful. When one of them starts underperforming, or even just tasting a bit off, I can set it aside and soak it and pop in the new one, cleaning the old one when I get a chance.

Even though I haven't got any experience with the T3, I'm going to echo what many others have said in this thread and say you can't go wrong with any of them. I'd say buy one (or more) of each, if it's within your means.

I would forget the T3 and MT3. The T3S is better and coils are cheaper unless you convert them with a new base. personally i do not care for the MT3S, its covered in a aluminum with a small slit. Its hard to see how full it is with some liquids. My only complaint with the T3S is some are tighter than others. The vent holes don't seem to be consistent. Its an easy fix with a small drill bit but none have been what i consider too tight a draw. Mine wick fine with 50/50 or 70PG30VG.

I think the flavor is just fine in them too but i recommend getting 1.8-2.2ohm coils. All my Kanger coils nearly always run .1-.2ohm higher than advertised.

Mini Pro tank-II is nice but IMO it wicks better with thinner than 50/50 and i also prefer the 1.8ohm coils. Its a airier draw but its simple to cover a vent hole or two with a piece of clear tape. I cover one and its draws really nice. Its a tiny bit harder to fill than a T3S unless you have a needle bottle. Both are simple though. The T3S has just a little more room to drip fill from a bottle.

I like both but if you want more volume, i prefer the T3S.

been using a evod for awhile now and its pretty good. tried the ce4 and got no throat hit. don't know if that's because its a top coil or not. heres what I don't understand. all bcc are pretty much the same utilizing the same type of coils as long as resistance is the same. the only difference I see is glass vs plastic, and type of air draw which can generally be modified to the way one likes it, and the shapes of the bcc's are slightly different as well. So after all my babbling, what makes one bcc so much better then another when they all appear to me to be basically the same?? I hear people rave about the pro tanks and other bcc type devices. All of which are just like the evod. If im not mistaken the evod and pt utilize the same coils. So how can a pt be so much better then a evod?? ok im done. thanks for all your guys input!!

Some things people might prefer would include: a Protank or Mini Protank is easier to thoroughly clean (can be completely dismantled), it's not vulnerable to tank-cracking juices (no plastic), it holds more juice, it has a removable drip tip (some people like to change the aesthetic).

Here is my recommendation. Skip the t3, evod and pt mini. Get an aspire BDC (bottom dual coil) man these things absolutely blow every clearomizer I've ever used out of the water. My t3s and mt3s are now collecting dust.

Nice to hear, I have the glass version in the mail. Only $8.95 which I can live with.

I agree... but a lot of what im reading in these forums is that a lot of people are saying the vapeing experience with one bcc is much better then another bcc and im just trying to figure out why??

ProTank and EVOD now use the same heads so no difference as far as flavor goes. The heads taste of fish/kerosene to me. T3s mini heads have an off taste to me also but not the same one. Airflow in the EVOD makes for an airier draw between it and T3s which is still pretty airy. Myself, I prefer the Ego CC with a Type A atty. The air holes are at the top so leakage is highly unlikely and part of the reason for its unique design. The atties only appear a more expensive way to go but they're not because they last double or triple the time of the heads on the others. Of course, all three are rebuildable though.
