First off, let me say that I bloody LOVE the Tatroe Tank! Well, at least I do now.
I've had it for about a week and have vaped 7 or 8 tanks through it.
When I first got it, I gave it a good washing and loaded it up and vaped it like I stole it. It hit pretty much exactly like a Kanger Protank. duh! Just ever so slightly a tighter draw and just a tiny bit quieter. Basically, a bullet proof ProTank.
Now remember when I said I gave it a "good washing".... Yeah, well, now I know what vaping cutting oil tastes like. 8-o
I was ready to throw the thing & realized that it would break whatever it hit while not taking any damage itself. Sooo....
I gave it 3 soap & water washings, 2 vinegar soaks & 1 alcohol bath. THEN I boiled it in distilled water for 15 minutes. If that sounds extreme, vape cutting just once & you'll change your mind reeeeal fast! LOL! (NO don't vape cutting oil! It's toxic and you don't want to go there)
While I was doing all this washing, spitting, soaking, spitting, and boiling, brushing teeth again, I threw in some of my rebuildable attys. (Big difference!)
Anyway...
When you get yours (don't try to be coy, you'll get one) make sure to wash it like you're trying to get the stink off a skunk. I'm not kidding!
And a white vinegar soak does wonders!
We all know that it uses the ProTank base & coil & your own drip tip... so no need to go through all that stuf.... humm, guess I just did! Never mind!
A few things I've noticed are..
1: It doesn't seem to flood as easily as the ProTank, I'm guessing because of the tighter tolerances of the center tube.
2: It's a lot harder to shove a Qtip through the center tube, because of ^^^^^ (what he said)
3: I have found that whatever mod I have it on, I seem to always pick it up by the tank and not the mod. The hour glass shape and solid SS construction just begs to be picked up that way.
4: It's heavy. Don't put this thing on a SS Vamo! You might get busted for carrying a lethal weapon!
ooo!... there you go! A vaping self-defense weapon!!
I've seen many folks say they don't like being unable to see the level of juice in the tank. I was, admittedly, among that crowd. (sad but true)
What I've found is, that the first dry hit you get means the tank is empty. And I MEAN empty! I've never managed to get a ProTank that dry!
Now if you're rather new to vaping, like me, this could be a problem & you could run out of juice while chasing down the mailman to get your vape mail.
But, you should be carrying enough vaping gear & juice to last at least 3 months every where you go, so an empty tank is no biggie.
All silliness aside...
The Tatroe Tank is a very well crafted and designed tank. Just like all delivery devices, it has its quarks that take a little getting used to.
So if you like the Kanger ProTank, you will most likely love the Tatroe Tank!

I did notice that the draw loosened up a bit when I put a different drip tip on it. For me that is actually a good thing since I prefer an airy draw. I bought it as a durable alternative to a glass tank. In that regard, it definitely serves its' purpose.
