I'm kind of overwhelmed by all the tank options but none seem perfect and then I like to make sure I can find the atomizers in stores. I have an evod now and a cheap one on my original set up. I like the evod for its size, fits well in my pocket on my itaste vv, and the atomizers are cheap and not hard to find in stores. However I've had a couple of times where I didn't make it through the work day, eventho I can't vape often at work, and when I'm able to vape freely I drain it fast. And I keep getting juice in my mouth, had a little leakage out of the bottom too here and there.

I'm looking at the pro tank and pro tank mini. I like the capacity of the pro tank but I don't know how it is going to fit in my pocket and also not break or bend. I don't like the tip that comes off so easy cuz I can see it popping off and losing it very easily and then not having anything to vape on. The mini looks nice but it is any better than the evod as far as capacity and performance? I assume the atomizers on both are common in vape store around town but are they cheap too?

So basically I'm looking for something compact, not in the way or going to break in my pocket, that performs with cheap and available atomizers that will last an entire day.

The mini Protank isn't that big and you'll have the same problem. The regular size Protank, it will be top heavy on your device and could potentially break off/have issue in your pocket...

A lot of us don't carry just one device with them when out and about. I always carry two because I never know when something will fail. I'd rather be prepared than not. I think in your case, bringing a bottle of juice along with you would solve your problem.

I have only tried a few tanks so hesitate to give much advice there. Other than to say personally I like protank 2 much better than any of the iclear 30s.

But just wanted to address your concern with protank tip falling off. I have had it fall off in my hand a few times, when i tried to pull pv out by grabbing it. But that's rare. It definitely won't ever just fall off. Also I've dropped my mvp and my vtr many times(extremely clumsy) protanks are both fine. But did break the connector on an iclear 30,

Protank2 is worth a shot. It's actually the SAME coil as an EVOD, and same basic procedures.
You could replace the drip tip with one of your own choosing, and perhaps with a tighter fit (that's hit and miss - you'd have to just try it).

Personal experience with ProTanks is pretty good - but I did find that juice can't get to the coil quite easily enough, so I'd pull out ONE THREAD of the wicking - then they'd work well...

MiniProTanks are great - but not much capacity difference really...

What mod (battery) are you running?

I've got the Itaste VV.

I guess this is where vaping favors women cuz I don't have a purse to carry all the extra supplies. I have a case that can fit a bunch of stuff but it is too big to carry in my pocket so I don't carry it. With the itaste I'm not too worried about battery charge cuz I can usually find a micro usb away from home but running out juice sucks. But where do I keep the juice or extra tank? I guess I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and start carrying purse lol.

I would recommend the protank 2. Its the first tank I bought and it still works great. The heads are also very cheap which is a plus. I have never had a problem with the drip tip falling off. Its pretty securely stuck on. I would also recommend buying the aerotank base to go with the protank. It turned my protank 2 from a good tank into a great tank. Also its cheaper to buy a protank 2 and an aerotank base than just buying an aerotank. Also the aerotank uses the more expensive protank 3 heads. Also you can buy little cases that fit in your pocket. I have one that i carry a second tank, a battery, and some extra heads in. Defs more manly than a purse lol.

I carry three set-ups with me at all times. I carry them in a little mason jar. I've had a few idiots say something to me about it, but they were all puffing away on stinkies while they made fun of me....

I agree with the Aspire BDC, I love those on any mod I have, they have not given me any issues and they give me good flavor and a decent cloud too.

The Aspire BDC or the Aspire Nautilus BDC tanks would be a good option. The Nautilus is a bit bigger, 5 ml tank, but does come with the beauty cone to smooth out the look.

The Aspire BDC is my out and about tank. It cost me a whole $9.00 and works great. When I am home I use the iClear 30 (original) because I like the warm vape. They are not pocket friendly though. The aspire holds about 3ml of juice, has yet to fail on me and is not terribly heavy. It comes in 2 types of threading *i have the 510* and needs aspire coils. My wife uses the pro tankII and seems to love it on her VV3.0. I do not find the Aspire to be top heavy on my VV but I have large hands so ymmv there.

Have you considered the Kanger MT3?

It has a 3ml capacity, is bottom coil, and easily fits on to an eGo. You shouldn't have any problem finding replacement attys for a Kanger.

Should be small enough for you.

I also carry more than 1 set up at all times. If that's not an option for you you might consider carrying a small bottle of juice with you. Get yourself either a 5ml or 10ml bottle to put some juice in while you're out of the house that you can carry in your pocket without adding all that muck bulk.

I have only been vaping since October 2013 but I like my setup currently. I work in retail and therefore keep my gear in my pockets at all times and vape when I can. I have an MVP 2.0 that I usually use with a Mini Protank 2 and I just recently had a K100 Mod PIF'd to me from an amazing talk show host that I use the mini protank on as well as an EVOD. These work awesome and the miniprotank is actually quite durable I find. I think that the only way to break them besides dropping them is over tightening them. As long as you don't do that they will last. Plus having multiple tanks with you allows you to have multiple flavors throughout the day. That is the main reason for me anyway.
