Protank 2 & Mini Disappointment

I purchased the iclear 16 and share your sentiments.

I enjoy VM mystery juice b and I had used it in my mPT2 and man what an awesome juice. Tried it in my iclear 16s and well, the flavours are heavily muted and tends to tickle my throat which is an experience I have never had with any of my other tanks, including the standard top coil tanks you get with starter kits. I dont like the tickle. The vapour is hot not warm and comforting.

The build quality is cheap and flimsy, I got a blue one cause it was the only colour that was left and well no matter what juice you through in (other than a clear juice) the tank looks yucky like there is mud in the tank.

Personally I would say stay away from the iclear 16.
 
Each to their own with vaping. I for one prefer over a protank.. Its amazing how peoples views differ :)

Thanks @BhavZ I thought I was losing my mind there... I have had your message and an agree from another expert... so we are all agreed... the iClear 16 sucks noogies! o_O
 
Wow! Can't believe what I'm hearing, we've had exactly the opposite experience.

Yip there is no doubt this is all subjective for sure... but Giz you have to try the Nautilus! If you enjoy sucking hard like on the iClear 16 you can set it hard and if you want a really soft suck like the 30B you can open her up!
 
To date, the best affordable, beginner, mass produced, tank I have had the pleasure of trying is the mPT2, second would be the rev tank mini from VapeMOB (has a similar build to the mPT2).

Flavour is good, vapour is good, throat hit is good. It is easy to clean and easy to fill. It has a "glass" tank, solid build and looks gorgeous on any ego style battery.

The "glass" is replaceable in case of an accident and new bases can be purchased for it as well. The well design of where the coil sits prevents dry hits and to date (touch wood) I have not had any gurgling or flooding.

I have tested the mPT2 with both short post and long post coils as well as ohms of 1.8, 2.2 and 2.5 on an ego vv battery and it runs like a dream with all 3 of them, preference being the only deciding factor as to what coil to use and what post to use.

The drip tip sits securely and is snug. I like that the chimney is mounted to the head of the tank which means less parts can go missing during cleaning etc.

Again things like this are all personal preference and subjective but honestly to all beginners if you want an affordable setup that will give you pleasure when vaping go with the mPT2.

I agree 100% @BhavZ! In the short time I have been playing with these new toys I have converted 4 Stinkies to Vapers and everyone of them are on the mPT2 with an eGo-C Twist! They are all over the moon!
 
Something positive has come from this thread! My dad is a relatively new vaper and has been complaining that it's been making him cough, I tried changing coils, flavours, pg/vg ratios and nothing helped but didn't click that it could be the clearo until @BhavZ mentioned the tickle in the throat he gets (something I've never noticed) Gave my dad the Mini PT2, loves it, problem solved :)
 
Lol weird they on special at MOB and I got one today just because. I still like it. Popped round to buddy of mine and his tanks coil tanked so I gave it to him because I really have enough stuff lying and he is happy with it. And he scored a free tank of juice. I still say its a fantastic clearo, even though I do prefer the cooler vape and airy draw of a BCC.

Just checked a Indoor Smoker vid on Kanger Aerotank (Protank 3 with air control) vs the Nautilus and I think I'll have to go with Rob on this one, want to need a Nautilus!!

I'm also running that setup with a 2.2Ohms coil, what voltage do you vape it at? cause when I get to 4V its just a burnt taste I get out of it!
 
the only problem i see with the Nautilis is the cost of the coils...if its anything like my Maxi BDCC(also from Asprire) it is a b!thc to rebuild those...but it is an awesome vape. could only imagine the vape on the Nautilis...
But all this talk of the PT. i am thinking i should get me a mPT2 and maybe somme a PT2 aswell...damn you Rob....:confused:

You really want a Nautilus rather Rex! :D The cost of the coils are so worth the Vape...

I sat in the smoking section of the Casino tonight (it stinks but my favorite machine is in the smoking section) and I fired my SVD/Nautilus/VM Menthol Ice in a big way... got lots of strange looks but no one asked what the hell I was doing sucking on a light sabre! :D

On an ego vv I run a 2.2ohm at 3.8V

I would not look at the big PT tanks as I find them way to airy for my liking. the mini range imo is by far the better of the lot (mind you I have not tried the PT3 yet and I know RipTrippers had a gripe with it as well). The mPT2 from eciggies is R180 and well worth it. The benefit is that it uses the standard evod coils so the cost of coils are a lot cheaper than other tanks.

Vaping is bankrupting me...just spent R1000 on vape stuff this week...

One can go a bit overboard at times but I put it down to opportunity cost. Would I rather spend the cash that I have on Vape Gear or take the risk of cancer from those cancer sticks we all used to suck on. Plus Vape Gear is an investment in the most part, most of the consumables are inexpensive and the real expensive part of vaping, i.e. gear (SVD, REO, etc) are not gone to waste as I am sure we would keep those devices for a long time.
 
Great thread indeed.

I think it boils down to the type of vape you get from a top coil vs a bottom coil and which vape you prefer.

Nothing like trying and seeing what works for you. Means we have to buy more gear ;-)

This is all so subjective
