Would like advice on a replacement tank

[jUsoNeaZn]

I am looking to buy a new Pyrex tank to vape with along with the Triton tanks that I use on my gear (Halo Triton). The reason for this is that I want to be able to vape on more types of juices that a plastic tank will not allow such as high acid, cinnamon, ect. I was looking at the Kanger mini pro tank 3, it being Pyrex, good reviews, replacement coils, but I do not like how the tank is only 1.5 ml (1.0 if you read the recommendations and never let the tank go below 1/3) and also that they are a low resistance, so I am unsure if these will be safe to vape on with the voltage that the Triton uses (3.75 I believe).
General Safe Vaping Power | Voltage | Resistance | Ohm Chart

Can anyone recommend a good tank that can fit into these specifications...
1) around 2.5 ml
2) replaceable coils
3) Pyrex tank (or metal, something that I can vape "tank crackers" in)
4) 2.0 Ohm at the lowest (I like the 2.2 Ohm T2 Kanger coils that I got for my Triton tanks. They are the perfect level of throat hit and vapor for my liking, but since I have not vaped on a dual coil, I am unsure of the difference in terms of actual vaping experience).

If none can, then I think that I might get the Kanger mini pro tank 2, since it looks to use lower Ohm coils, but then again, I can always get new coils and use those, losing one coil is not the end of the world. Also, is the Kanger mini 3 really much better than the Kanger 2? The specs I looked at didn't really look much different.

Aspire Nautilus is the best "factory made" option Ive used to date. Still not in the same league as a rebuildable though

 

[jUsoNeaZn]

@ LowOhms - what is a "rebuildable" refer to? I am usure of that term.

1:
I use protanks myself, but on miniprotank bases; that way I get the protank size/capacity, but with eGo threading; just have to add extra silicone cap (or two) on the atomizer spire to seal it from center tube, otherwise flooding.
2:

3:

4:
Ref: dual coils; dual coils actaully have 2 double-resistance coils and basically need more voltage than the single coil.
The trouble with dual coils is its hard for the user to recoil them; best get a proper rebuildable for that.
So on commercial clearos I think you're better off economy wise to stick with single coil; people who get the dual coil tanks and coils seem to end up recoiling the duals to single anyway

i don't think it makes much sense to get the miniprotank3, but the miniaerotank - that's worth getting.

@ LowOhms - what is a "rebuildable" refer to? I am usure of that term.

Rebuildable Atomizers (RBA) are ones that are designed for you to build the coil out of resistance wire. They allow you build the coil to your preferred resistance and wick with whatever choice of matierial you like (cotton, silica, ekowool, ss mesh, etc).

Tank wise, I like the Fogger V4 and AGA-T7 RBA tanks these days. But I'm more of an RDA (rebuildable dripping atomizer) guy. The Kayfun is very good and fairly easy to build on.

@ edyle - In terms of "rebuildable" does that mean rebuilding the heating element and keeping the atomizer in order to save money? If so, I usually kill my coils in about a month of vaping, based on the juices that I vape with it, since I do not vape 100% of the time, so I have not really looked into rebuilding my coils yet. I have been vaping my Triton for about 1 month so far and only had to replace one coil out of three for the three tanks that I am using so far. I plan on using only one Pyrex tank for select "tank cracker" juices, and so I will be vaping on it much less, so hopefully I can extend the life of the coil to about 5-6 weeks. Given this, I do not think that spending the money to buy replacement coils will be too much of a financial burden, I plan on keeping my Triton tanks in rotation for my ADV habits for the most part.

 

[jUsoNeaZn]

@ Aesop - I do not think that going with a RBA is that necessary for me, refer to my previous post to edyle for the explanation

 

[PersimmonNJ]

I just ordered the Nautilus...have had no cracking issues with my iClear 30s tanks, however.

1 coil a month is good; you needn't think about rebuildables.

For those of use using a few coils a week, rebuilding is definitely on the table.

You will probably be interested in rewicking with cotton though.

Stop throwing away your protank coils – ITCVapes

 

[SpyderBite]

I love my ProTanks with ego-c twist batts.

The Pyrex tanks metal casing makes them inexpensive and great for vaping any flavor.

@jUsoNeaZn,

No worries, was mostly just answering the question about RBA's

Just to add a little about RBA's though.... Overall, RBA's are about being able to control the heating element. Everything from the ohm's to the shape of the coil to change the quantity/quality of the vapor. RBA's tend to be much bigger than your normal attys, though some like the IGO-S are smaller.

Honestly, getting into RBA's tends to turn vaping into more of a hobby/obsession than a smoking replacement. Everything said and done, you generally do not save money by going the RBA route; but you can get a better vape.

I like the Kanger ProTanks, specifically the ProTank 2. I'm not a big fan of Kanger's dual coils, but that's more of a personal preference thing. The full-size ProTanks hold about 2.5mL and have replaceable Pyrex tanks. You can find PT2's for around $12 at a lot of places, the dual-coil ProTank 3's run closer to $20. The PT2/3 Minis don't hold very much liquid (I've got a PT3 mini and hardly ever use it.) I don't have an Aspire Nautilus, so I can't speak to that other than what I've heard: great tank, but Aspire had problems with a lot of their coil heads being dead out of the box. They may have fixed that though.

Another option would be the Kanger AeroTanks, which are basically the same as the ProTanks but with adjustable airflow. There are a few different AeroTank models, so you might want to check them out and read up on the differences. I believe all AeroTanks are dual-coil.

Either way, both the Kanger and Aspire replacement coil heads are available in a variety of resistances, so you can buy replacements in whatever Ohms you prefer.

One thing I didn't see anyone mention...Does the Halo Triton battery have 510 threading, or something else? I could've sworn I read that they have the older 808 threads, but I could be mistaken. If that's the case, and the OP wants to use a 510 tank, he'll have to buy a thread adapter too.

 

[edyle]

Oh; if the triton batts are 808/eGo, then at least they'll take the miniprotank bases because of the eGo thread.


===edit===
scratch that; i hear the halo outer threads might be known as vGo or something;

almost but not quite

 

[jUsoNeaZn]

The Triton uses an 808 type connection, so I can get an adapter, I have already found a good ego or 501 adapter for my Triton, I just need to find out which tank that I want to use in conjunction with my Triton batteries. I like Halo batteries since they are threaded to work with BOTH the Triton tanks and the G6 cartos, both of which I use at various times. Due to this reason, I will be sticking with the Triton batteries. hmmm, I see that most people have said to use either the Kanger Pro tanks (mini or regular) tanks or the Kanger Aero.

So I have seen one person mention that I can use a single coil or a double coil, would this be relevant for the Kanger Pro tanks and the Aero? What are the technical specifications between the signal versus the dual coil? Since its two coils instead of one, I am assuming that they produce more vapor than a single coil of equal Ohms, but also require much battery life with the same Ohm resistance as well. Does the dual coil get a shorter life span? How much more battery life about would a dual coil consume over a single coil (20%)? I am also asuming that they use more juice per tank.

Do you know what adapter you found.
Is the the KR808 to 510 adapter?

 

[jUsoNeaZn]

A edyle - its gonna be one of these two most likely

Thread Adapter | 808D-1 to 510 - EVcigarettes.com

or

Thread Adapter | 808D-1 to eGo - EVcigarettes.com

Depending on which tank that I actually go for, I will get one of these adapters.

The first one is really only useful for cigalikes.

Product Description
These Thread Adapters will convert your 808D-1 or vGo threaded Battery into a 510 thread allowing you to use a wider variety of 510 Atomizers and/or 510 Cartomizers.

The second one converts your battery to the normal 510/eGo. Good thing to have. So I'd recommend the 2nd one.

808D-1 to eGo Thread Adapters will convert your 808d-1 or vGo male threaded battery to a eGo/510 female thread.
This will allow you to use a wide variety of eGo & 510 threaded Atomizers, Cartomizers, and Clearomizers with your KR808D-1, vGo, or other 808D-1 threaded battery.

Now, the other adapter you want is the one that converts your 808 TANK to a 510 threaded tank.


http://www.evcigarettes.com/thread-adapter-510-to-808d-1/

These Thread Adapters will convert your 510 female threaded battery (Joye 510, EM 510, eGo, RiVa and other 510 threaded devices and APVs) into a 808D-1 male thread allowing you to use most 808D-1 & vGo threaded Cartomizers.

I really think you can't go wrong with the new Kanger Aerotank Mega and Mini. Coils are available in 1.5 and 2.0 resistances. The Mega on my mod is showing 2.2 ohms. I have a few Kayfuns and have to say they are probably on par with them. Excellent tanks.

 

[jUsoNeaZn]

From the specs that I was looking at between the PT2 and PT3, the 3 recommends a higher voltage than the PT2 and also lower resistance coils. Given that I am using a Halo triton which averages about 3.7 volts, I think that the PT3 is a little too over the top for me ATM. Thinking bout going for the PT2 now lol. The Aero tank with the adjustable air flow looks nice, but I am use to the Triton tanks that do not have it, so ya, PT2 is loogint pretty good, cheap, well reviewed, coils will probably be a little cheaper than PT3.

Curious if I am missing any important details between the PT2 and PT3 though...

The PT2 and PT3 are basically identical except for the PT3 using dual-coil heads. They even use the same replacement glass tubes if you accidentally break it. The regular Aerotank looks slightly different but it's basically just a PT3 with adjustable airflow. Don't worry too much about the "recommended" voltages on Kanger's site; they're a good place to start but not set in stone. Besides, you can get replacement coil heads in different resistance values if you want (most Kanger heads come in 1.5, 1.8, 2.2 and 2.5 Ohms, or thereabouts.)

Since I prefer Kanger's single-coil tanks, what I would recommend is to get a PT2 at 101vape.com since they have the best prices on them ($8.99. Order a box of replacement coils while you're there, since they also have some of the best prices on those too.) Then get a Kanger airflow base (usually around $4.50) and put it on the PT2. You'll have the adjustability of an Aerotank and save yourself a few bucks. This is how I run my PT2 and it works a hundred times better than the fixed airflow on the stock PT2 base!
