Will the real protank 2 mini plz stand up...!?

[Trev1]

IM seeing that there are some protank 2 minis that have removable drip tips and some that don't !? Was the beta PT mini 2s originally with the drip tip removable ? And now are not?

here's what I wanted...

.....BUT ...I preordered this one here which i thought was with a removable drip

Kanger Mini ProTank 2! The Newest Pyrex Clearomizer for Electronic Cigarettes.

​

Any insight?

Kanger pushed the button on the release of the Mini PT2 with the removable drip tip prior to it being ready. Like Kanger has done so many times in the past..

The picture on the box actually shows a removable drip tip but all the vendors are getting the static drip tip (not removable.) According to Kanger it could be anywhere between 20 days to 2/3 months before the removable drip tip is available.

Not the vendors fault - it's Kanger!

From Kanger's website, it doesn't look like the Mini 2 will have a removable drip tip.

So will here actually be a removable tip coming then? And nobody has one except reviewers with beta versions? Man that blows...

Don't know if they're going to push one or not. Kanger does tend to rush images of prototypes before they're fully tested. The replaceable glass model may indeed be the final version 2. Who knows?

Don't be fooled by their(Kangers) BS either. They did the design. They released the Prototypes for Review. They got Positive feedback and were good to go.
But............What to do with all this Old and now Worthless stock of Fixed PT-mini tops?
Boom, we get stuck with a hybred to clear out their inventory.

It is called Bait and Switch and Kanger, after twice doing this in less than 6 Months, has taken a BIG hit in my list of trusted Manufacturers.

So true brother ...so true...and I feel for the vendors who paid already for this and feel they need to make up for their lies....

Last week I accidently bought some "fake" protanks.

Maybe there will be some fake minis out soon with the removable tips.

 

[foggerv2]

ohh I just got the mini protank. Now v2 comin out already

 

[Choc_Addic]

So, for get Kanger and just get the clones!
They all work fine and you won't be paying until they come out with what you really want?

My 2 cents

Already available. Hopefully mine will ship from FT tomorrow. The copy does not come apart like the PT2-mini but the tip is removable and that is all matters to me at this point.

I'm looking forward to them - I really like the design and being able to use acidic/cinnamon flavours, but my first mini ProTank only lasted a couple of days before coming apart I've ordered more but things take forever to get to where I live - guess I need to find some glue.

 

[crxess]

Food grade silicone should do the trick!

Well unless you dead set against buying anything but a Mini ProTank here is another option for a mini, all metal and pyrex BC tank that uses Kanger bottom coil heads, can be broken down for cleaning, and has a removeable drip tip. AnyVape Davide Mini Glassomizer .
I own one of these and, aside from it having a light draw, it's a really nice set up.
They also have a non-mini version.

I went to Walmart today to pick up Aleene`s Jewelry and metal glue. It should be in the arts and crafts section. I wanted to have this glue in our vaping supplies. Well just in case I need to repair a glued Protank. I do have the older style Kanger full sized tanks. I have some knock off mini pro-tanks made with glass. So far so good with those YMMV. I thought I should have this glue before I need it. They also recommended a very fine grit sandpaper.

I watched a video on Utube where the lady recommended this glue for fixing a mini pro-tanks glass after using cinnamon oil. I cant remember the ladies name though who was in the video.

I am not concerned with the drip tips on the new ones. I do like the fact they can be taken apart fully without glue. That would be a tank to use with cinnamon and caustic flavors. I am diggin the fact the knock offs are going down in price. I am going to try a few plastic ones for my out and about vaping with the twists I am waiting on. I am a klutz and the Mini pro-tanks with glass make me nervous out and about and they are heavier with the ego batteries. I also took a small piece of scotch tape and covered an air hole because the hit was a bit airy.

Good luck if you fix the tanks.

Are companies stupid or what? Do they not see the growing trend of people wanting honesty and transparency over lies? We aren't stupid, and for Kanger to say it was a 'design change' is insulting. If they came out and said 'we needed to use these excess mini v1 parts', I would forgive. If they make the new v2 mini with stainless steel, I might forgive. Otherwise, I don't feel comfortable giving a company who calls me a dumb ... my money.

I vowed to never buy from Kanger again because of the initial PT glue issue. Then I saw they were proactive with making an updated glue-free version of v.1 and thought 'hey they're a good company'. Then I recently saw all the original glued PT's still for sale from the company and was a little disappointed because they really are a health hazard. I understand that business is business, but thought they could just re-use the parts to make more glue-free devices. Now this, and I'm pretty .......

Not because they used the excess mini v1 parts to make glue-free mini's (that's great!). It's because they LIED to us about the bait/switch. It's because they're calling me a fool. It's because I (we) were expecting a different device and can't buy it for months. In the past, all of the stringing along/planned obsolescence at least made positive changes. i.e. instead of just using top quality materials from the beginning, it's been little baby steps....on purpose.

Melting/burning plastic? Ok we'll try another plastic (PP)
Burning grommet? Ok we'll try a different material and/or use thick lower resistance legs
Coil choking the wick? We'll make it looser (the PT was the first good head I saw, besides the silica)

THIS though....this is BLATENT in your face BS. They show us something that's 2 steps ahead of the Protank (glue-free+removable drip tip), and then release a product that's only one step ahead (glue-free) so we have to buy the other in a few months. This is what stupidity+greed does. Don't they realize there is a demand for BOTH products? Especially if the 'static' version was $4-5 cheaper. Instead of making more money by doing this, they are going to lose loyal customers and resellers forever and lose a lot of money. I was going to buy at least 50 and saw another person mention the same thing. I thought these would be perfect for selling to friends and family.

If they make the new new ones with SS, I'll give them my money. Otherwise, I'll have my own made and they can kiss my brass. Words can't describe how stupid this move was.

I picked up a mini today with the static tip. Not bad really. Hits like champ. Good vapor production.

 

[itsmedave]

What a huge mess this has turned out to be. I started to order one or two yesterday but after confirming with several vendors that it was the static drip tip, I decided to wait it out.

 

[k33l0]

i purchased the protank 2 mini from my local vendor 2 days ago and it has a removable drip tip

 

[DasBluCig]

E-mailed MyVaporStore yesterday.....they are CURRENTLY selling the Mini PT2 with the one-piece tip.....but SHOULD have the v.2 in 10-14 days....
I'll wait....I have a new Protank 2 and my T3's will last a bit longer!!!
BTW....Kudos (again!!!!) to MVS.....they replied to my e-mail within 30 minutes!!!!!!! OUTSTANDING!!!!
