I bought a couple last week. I am really liking them so far. The vape is a little tighter than the protank which I like. I really like the ego threading to mount it. It is much more stable on my vamo then the 510 treaded devices. I filled one with a syringe with 3.1ml fluid. Could have got a little more in it. madvapes has the heads that go with it. Fit and finish seem to be well built. If they continue to perform for me they will definitely replace my protanks. Currently vaping Ecto cooler out of one and no leaks or problems so far.

Order with confidence. They are fantastic. I bought one and I just love it. I did a write up on it and a couple other tanks and the Aro and Aspire ET-s were my favorites. It seems the aro heads will fit in a kanger evod/protank but not the other way around. the kanger stuff is just a fuzz larger and will not allow the base to screw all the way down. The finish is fantastic on them. And while they say they are 2.0 ml they will easily hold 3.5

Haven't there been an issue with the newer batch of ARO tank's and replacement heads leaking? My 2 older ones still are working well since oct/nov. The 2 new ones seem to vape ok, but both leaked a lingering dose of liquids in my battery contact area. I'm still puffing on some NET's in 2 PT3's on 2 identical Vision Spinners waiting for the scents of organic HDV watermelon and blueberry e liquids to fade out- I mention the flavors because they're not very strong flavors(too me anyways, but they are good). I did try cleaning the batts a couple of times with paper towels, but the scent remains. I wonder how much actually leaked....

Count me in as a big ARO fan (the pyrex version, they also sell a poly EVOD look-a-like under the same name). I had two on a pre-order an got some of the first ones shipped - for some reason I was able to stuff a Kanger head into one but not the other (the base just above the threads is slightly larger on the Kangers). Bought two more about a month ago and both work great, but you need to get the Smok heads, which were hard to come by for a while but seem to be getting more common as Smok puts out more devices that use them.

I see no difference in fit/finish or leaking between my older ones and newer ones - all are great and will vape a tank dry without leaks - love my Protanks too, but I can't say the same for them and the AROs are way cheaper. I don't think you'll regret your purchase...my only gripe is the Kanger/Smok head incompatability since I've got dozens of Kanger heads for all my other tanks mostly sitting around.

My thread has been resurrected!

Might as well update the status on my aros. Well I still have one of them (one cracked). I even have a could left over too. Lately I have been using carto tanks and my protanks.

I had to dryburn my coil heads because they tasted of pure chemical, but besides that they worked great! It is hard to find the heads for them though.

I have several and love them. The first batch of the heads I bought was not good...leaked and gurgled. But then I figured out that the T3S heads will fit in them. After that I had no problem. I may give the Smoktech heads another try. I may have just got a bad batch.

But they look very nice on a Vision Spinner. I fill 2 up and put them on my 2 Spinners and thats what I take when I go somewhere.
