Tank suggestions?

[RoseJ]

Call me picky, but I'm very particular about the tank I want for my new Provari Mini (2.5). Aesthetics and ergonomics are very important to me. I want a small tank, because the mini is bigger than I thought it would be, so I don't want to add to it any more than I have to. I was looking at the nautilus Mini, but even that is longer than I'd ideally like.

Any suggestions or advice?

I gravitate to compact with my mods, and really prefer my ProVari's in mini mode. For me the best short tank so far is the Kabuki, with a stubby drip tip. It's a bit pricey, but the quality of materials and reliable consistent vape is worth the price tag. You'll probably want a tank ring with it to cover the taper, and that will add ten$ to the cost. And Zen isn't going to make anymore 510 Kabuki's so you'd need an adaptor to go from the P3 threads to the 510 unless you can find a 510 version. Maybe other folks will have some different options to share...

You can always try the Nautilus Mini also.

Or, have your Provari concerted to a flat cap, and use any "normal sized" atomizer you choose!

What I need to find is a small but great tank that I can build coils for! Once I retire I can't be buying blister packs all the time!

My friend, the tank you speak of is the Kayfun Lite, Kayfun Lite+, or Kayfun Lite+ V2...aka KFL, KFL+, or KFL+V2.
They're pretty much all three the same, minus some slight changes, mostly cosmetic.
Also, all three are commonly referred to as just "KFL", though some folks like to specify the "+" & "+V2"...

Widely available, easily identified as authentic (when comparing to even the best clones...if you care about that sort of thing), and the whole accessory aftermarket for vape gear was practically built upon making accessories and options for the KFL. Not to mention, at least 90% of atomizers on the market today, incorporate some version of the Kayfun design and/or principles. It's almost like the Big Bang of vaping!

This is what a full sized KFL/+/V2 looks like:
(The first "Lite" had a different drip tip)

Here's one of mine, with a custom tank, that makes it as small as possible:
(Tiny Tank from SteamTuners)

Granted, this tank reduces juice capacity, but I like the smaller size and don't care about frequent refills.

I like the five pawns kayfuns. they're nano sized and I can usually haggle with a b+m and get them for around 60 since they are out of fashion now.

Thanks guys! I do have a KF nano that I got on the classies and it is a bit big for my mini but I am going to put a tank ring on the slant top and see if that works! It sits perfect on the iStick but not my Provari!
Gonna give it a go!

My kayfun was stolen out of my husbands man cave so annoying

Wow.. I really like the look of that Tiny Tank. Do you know if it is compatible with the Russian 91%?

I have no experience with the Russian.
From everything I've learned, 99% of after-market accessories are interchangeable between the Kayfuns and the Russians.
In fact, 99% of stock parts are also interchangeable!
You should be fine to use the Tiny Tank on your Russian!

Thats great to hear. If I can stop myself from buying blems for long enough I might have have order one.

Everyone loves the KFL and i personally am on the fence about it. Now that i can wick it things are a little better, but you should also look at the squape. Personally i think it is much easier to build and wick. the draw back is it is not as easy to fill. So it is a kinda pick your battle thing with me.

A Kabuki Tank. Short would make for a decent fit although the Aspire Mini would be better in that aspect. Good AFC and flavor. Rock SOlid Tank with a variety of Replaacement Heads. You can even find TC Heads for it. And it's cutomizable

Squape Rs, for smaller size, or nano tanks are available also. Easiest build deck ever! They also sell a tool to make filling easier. Although I don't think its that bad.

It is not bad except for when I get air bubbles I can't get out. I could see someone that had vision problems having issues. I already wear cheaters. Lol if my vision gets much worse then I will need the tool. Lol [emoji165]

I'm going to be sorry I said this, but I haven't had the air bubble problem...

What air bubbles? I have several SQuape R(s) authentic using the "W" deck (my B decks are not here yet) and I not had the first issue with air bubbles or dry hits/leaking. I love this tank.

Also, Kabuki is #1 for pre-built coils IMO. Kayfuns - well, they're Kayfuns...always room for them in my arsenal. I have Kayfun v2+ and KFv4. Kayfun mini v3 is on my short list.

If its what I think, the air bubbles occur during filling. Making it hard to completely fill the tank. I hold it at an angle, and spin the tank while filling, and haven't had a problem. Performance is always excellent with the w deck, d deck about the same. Haven't tried b deck yet.

Yes, that is exactly it. I will have to try the spinning thing. it does not happen all the time. Just seems to when i am refilling and there is some liquid still in there. I only use the W deck. I love this little thing. So easy to build on.

Quick question! I have an Ego One mini and I like the tank with the CLR coil because I can rebuild the coils! Has anyone tried this tank on the Provari 2.5 mini?

Scratch that question! The stock CLR at 1.0 did not play well with my Provari mini! I will have to build higher for it to maybe work!
