Kanger Mini Protank II versus T3s

[Sane Asylum]

I've been using Kanger T3s clearos and really like them. The other day at my local B and M I picked up a Kanger Mini Protank II and really like that as well. I like that it can be easily taken apart to clean and they both use the same atomizer but I'm not a big fan of the metal tip.

Here's my questions: I'm wondering if there is any real danger with plastic clearos and degradation if you're not using highly acidic liquids. I like plastic because I don't have to worry about breakage but if there's a question of break down of plastic, I'd switch over to all glass (I have about five T3s's of liquids I rotate throughout the day). I'm also wondering how long I should keep the T3s's. I do change the atomizers regularly. Also, do you think there's a difference in flavor between the two?

Thanks.

No reason to worry about a plastic tank as long as you are not using a plastic eating liquid. I've had my T3 tanks for over 6 months and they are still going strong.

It only takes one person to start a revolution.

I have wondered this too.. how often should I replace plastic tanks?

I've only used regular EVOD's which are plastic but the difference in flavour when I got a Mini Protank 2 was really significant. Glass is definitely better imo.

I agree about difference in flavor. I like glass better but, is it a problem to use plastic tanks for a long time?

ProTank heads (also used in the EVOD) taste like a cross between fish and kerosene (the way it smells anyway). The T3s heads don't have a bad taste to me. My daughter and grandson don't taste the bad taste I do though but its truly awful for me.

Had same issue with the metal tip OP. Just go buy a plastic driptip and problem solved. As far as plastic tanks go I used them for about 4 days and then was done with them. Glass is better than plastic IMO.

The metal tip taste like sucking on a nickel to me .... I just got plastic 510 driptips and I am very happy...

Tips are plastic. Its the heads. I assume wicking material?

I've never noticed it. Kind of a dry aftertaste on the EVODs but fish and kerosene never made an appearance for me. The mini protank I don't get any taste other than the flavour which is why I like them.

Maybe someone slipped an amazing new fish and kerosene flavour juice in yours when you weren't looking and you can't get rid of it?

Seems like EVOD's at least, can weaken - or maybe it's just that eventually, I goof and overtighten? Cause I've cracked a couple. And it's not juice fogging - it's that "what's that liquid?" "oh crap, the whole tip has a crack in it".

I like and use all of them...
If you like the durability and flavor better in a PTank Mini - and it's just the metal drip tip you don't like - get a PTank Mini 2!!!
Removable driptips.

Thanks everyone for your responses. I do like the Protank II mini a lot except for the chrome drip tip but at least you can switch it out. I like the attached tips on the T3s's but can't seem to find a place that carries them. I did pick up a plastic bulb shaped one at a local b and m but I like the others better. I also think I'm going to pick up a few more of the Protank II minis.

Does anyone find that they go through a lot more liquid using the Protank II mini than the T3s?

 

[justagirl]

Ok but, I am still wondering since I do like evods, t3s and mini's do I need to toss the tanks after a certain amount of time? Will the plastic become "bad for me" or anything?


I have been just rinsing and reusing for... like 6 months.
