I have pt2 and evods and I think they work better than the iclears but that is just my opinion. I'm more a fan of carto tanks right now though !

I can get behind that statement. I like the simplicity of cartomizers, so, to me, a carto tank was the next logical progression. I've been carrying my IBTanked tank with me to work the last several days and it's been very dependable.

Hmmm... what to think, now? I bought an iTaste VTR today and it came with an iClear 30s... I have to admit that it vapes alot nicer than (IMHO) than my older iClear 30 (non-S) tanks. I vapes a bit warmer than my PT2's, but still a nice vape. I like the 30s quite a bit more than the older 30. However, I don't think I'm a fan of the $3-$4 per single head price to keep it going. I go through an average of 1 head a week on my PT2s, so I learned to rebuild them. I don't see any sort of "rebuild-ability" on the 30s heads; so, this one may end up in the drawer in a week or two.

After buying 1 mini protank and 1 unitank from kanger , I will say their products are trash. It's a shame these tanks are the ones with the most threads of flooding gurgurling. It takes time from you and your family with tinkering trying to make these tanks work. Let me tell it works good when it works, but the odds of it working good are very slim . I ordered the new i30 s and was amazed at such a hassle free vape,. Even after the first refill I was kinda scared because the protanks it was a hit or miss, usually a miss which was so disappointing but let me tell you! I refilled the i30 s and it vamped like a champ over and over again. So for now these protanks will go to the trash because I would not even give these to my worst enemy!!

I'll gladly pay for the shipping to my trash. PM me please.

For as much trash as people talk in the "vaping community", you got to wonder sometimes if its actually the other companies and vendor owners typing behind the keyboard Lmao. I mean damn... its just vaping. Most everything is pretty darn simple to learn imho but many people want it to be more than that, so they treat vaping as if its like a competitive sport or something. And if you think im an a**hole....... well maybe i am but im also a nice guy i just keep it real.

Ah, I'm pretty sure I've posted before that if you name ANY piece of equipment (and that's obviously not limited to vape gear) there's someone out there that has had a bad experience with it and now hates it.

Me, I'm the kind of guy that will either figure out what wrong and try to make it better, or realize that making it better is beyond me and just move on.

Life's too short to waste on hating a $15 tank, lol.

The biggest issue that I have found with Kanger is the heads. The tanks are excellent. The Aspire is getting great reviews as a BDC and Kanger has released the Protank 3, dual coil. I have to agree that if you are not against the 'tilt' with TCCs the iClears are terrific and seem far more reliable. I use one for my darker juices and they just deliver, time and time again. I never had a Kanger head last me longer than a day or two of heavy vaping. I gave up on them and went to Cartomizers and tanks, thanks in large part to the excellent posts from Baditude on this forum. Check it out, changed my vape forever. Honestly. They have a learning curve but once you get it down... whew, flavor, vapor, awesome. Good luck and have fun!

My experience with Protanks (1 & 2, same heads) is around 2 weeks before first dry-burn, then around a week and a half between dry-burns. And I tend to vape thick and dark juices. Also, NO LEAKS whatsoever (unless you *really* overtighten it). Plus, easiest heads to rewick, plus, cheapest heads to buy, plus, changeable pyrex glas tanks and no glue anywhere (pt2), plus a crazy durability - dropped my protank 1 at least 10 times on the concrete floor of my workplace and.. nothing. Not a fanboi, just facts.

Protank 2 and mini crew checking in! Never had an issue........Only issues I have ever heard of people having with them is misuse... Over tightening things is the best way to get halflife out of any vaping accessories IMO. The O-rings that you see on all these different tanks, serve a purpose. Number one mistake I think a lot of NEWBS make is that they are so exited to get their devices so they can "VAPE" that they don't even know what parts serve what purpose and before you know it they are crying and blaspheming a very reputable company on the interwebz due to their inability to have patience.....

Sorry you have had such issues with Kanger products. I have the PT 2, PT 2 mini, and several EVOD's and have had zero issues. I personally prefer BCC over top coils, but that's just me. Glad you're getting great results with the i30s tanks!

I love kanger clearos/tanks too. I'm bout to buy up a few things I don't have and wondered do ts3 heads work in pro tanks or vice versa? I use ts3's and love em but am aboit to learn to make my own coils so hopefully I won't need to buy to many more heads, ya know. But I was just wondering of you had any experience with this?

hey,

the circumference of the 'washer plate' that the main o-ring sits on ;

is SMALLER on the T3S coil

it is BIGGER on protank coils and won't fit INTO T3S tanks

- - - -

so I buy T3S coils, and they fit in all my kanger bcc's

- Kanger T3s/Mini T3s/MT3s

Vape≈Hearty :2cool:

Just my 2 cents, but I find flavors severely muted in an EVOD. Working in an auto shop, I tossed 2 evods out since the window on them leaked. As far as the PT2 goes, I love it. And it's currently being used aside from my phiniac.

I actually found the Kanger Evod MT3's to have a better flavour and less leaking than the Unitank but have turned to Vivi Nova and really like the draw and flavour.

Waiting on AGI & Igo-w so as can venture to building.

these tanks are a toss up. some people it leaks and floods, some people it burns and you get a burnt taste due to poor wicking or improper air flow etc. they never worked for me. but for some they work wonders. always boggled the mind on how some work and some dont.
