As a matter of fact, if you read one of my more recent posts...<br /><br />http://tastyvapers.blogspot.com/2013/12/wanted-for-2014-happy-holidays.html<br /><br />You'll see that I'm going to begin specializing in reviewing EXACTLY those types of devices...<br /><br />If you're in a rush and you need something for a particular day/event, I'd recommend you bite the bullet and pick up an NJOY KING. They cost about $10, have 18mg nicotine and they taste REALLY GOOD. But for $10, they're NOT an every day device, because that's about how long they last... 1 day.<br /><br />Keep your eyes on my blog, as I'm bringing in and trying to develop relationships with an assortment of companies, in order to find the "perfect" devices!<br /><br />Thanks for the TIMELY question! :)Pastor Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08507712116774200461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5377286719794607960.post-57161172498307048342014-02-21T17:31:44.095-05:002014-02-21T17:31:44.095-05:00Seanbelly,

If you're using a Spinner, I'd recommend you move over to an EVOD instead of the T2. Not only will you find the flavor BETTER, you'll also find that replacing your atomizer is less expensive AND that it's more reliable too!<br /><br />Thanks for the question!Pastor Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08507712116774200461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5377286719794607960.post-69203740284391134502014-02-21T17:21:47.249-05:002014-02-21T17:21:47.249-05:00Would like to know your thoughts on what would be ...Would like to know your thoughts on what would be the best cig lookalike for smoking outdoors and not looking like a nerd?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5377286719794607960.post-26556020896609284262014-02-07T22:29:27.383-05:002014-02-07T22:29:27.383-05:00LOL I did the same thing when I first started, as ...LOL I did the same thing when I first started, as many others did I'm sure.

The solution was to screw the atomizer into the base!!!!! What an idiot I was. I thought it sat in the tank then screwed the base on,. Obviously this didn't allow the atomizer to be low enough to connect with the battery. <br /><br /> A newbie error and I do hope I haven't been the only one to make this mistake. I do love the tank, and sort of playing around now to find the wattage and voltage combitions that suit. I assume this is a trial and error thing or is there a guide. Probably a taste thing.<br /><br /> Thanks again for the assistance<br /><br /> SteveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5377286719794607960.post-41184781663419357012013-11-10T02:39:36.831-05:002013-11-10T02:39:36.831-05:00Anonymous from Surrey, UK,
What an excellent ques...Anonymous from Surrey, UK,<br /><br />What an excellent question...<br /><br />1. The first thing that I would want to know, is when you have the ProTank connected, what resistance is being read by the MVP2? If the resistance is a match for the type of head you have installed in your PT, then move on to #2. If the resistance is WRONG, my immediate thoughts would be that you're not screwing your heads in correctly. I've personally helped a few dozen beginners with this problem. It'll appear as if the atomizer heads are screwed in properly, but they're not.<br /><br />2. Remove the "beauty ring" and let's try it again. *PERHAPS*, there's some kind of short taking place when you FIRE the MVP2, that isn't registering when you check the resistance. If so, then you have a problem that will require a tear-down and rebuild of your MVP2 or if it's still under warranty, then perhaps a swap-out is in order?<br /><br />3. For the sake of this part, please make your unit function in VV mode instead of VW mode. Set your unit at 3.5V (just to be safe, since I don't know what heads you're using) and see if your mod is firing. The thought here, is if you're using it in VW mode, perhaps you've got it set too low?<br /><br />4. I probably should have mentioned this first, but I'm taking a leap here and ASSUMING you have an AUTHENTIC ProTank with AUTHENTIC ProTank coils. If not, then I'd have to make a small leap here and say that perhaps you've got a manufacturing problem with a knockoff? If the threads weren't machined properly, you'll never get the heads screwed in sufficiently. I think that's unlikely, but possible.<br /><br />5. Have you attempted to slightly raise the centerpost of your 510/eGo connector on the MVP2? It's a somewhat common problem on APV's that you don't see on a mechanical. I've never done it on an MVP/MVP2, but I'd assume a wee amount of upward prying on the centerpost should raise it a tad. Do your homework on this first! I don't want you damaging your unit if this isn't supported by your device.<br /><br />The only thing that smells fishy here, is that you say you've gotten it to work with a small amount of liquid. That's somewhat confusing, if you know what I mean...<br /><br />Thanks for your question, I hope that I've either been of some assistance or that you figure it out on your own. I'm fairly confident that if you can get this sorted, you'll find the ProTank to be a significant upgrade from the iClear 30's. I tried one right after they came out and found them to be so inferior that I didn't even bother to purchase one for a review.<br /><br />Please let us know if you get it squared away...Pastor Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08507712116774200461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5377286719794607960.post-38814674616986022692013-11-10T02:00:16.360-05:002013-11-10T02:00:16.360-05:00hi, i got themvp 2 and purchased a protank 2 to ru...hi, i got themvp 2 and purchased a protank 2 to run alongside the i-clear 30 that came with the mvp. My problem is I can't get the protank to fire up, tried 2 wicks, the second one worked with a tiny amount oif liquid, so I then topped the tank up and now it won't fire up again.

Yes, I do have a couple of ideas...
Firs...Sandra,<br /><br />Yes, I do have a couple of ideas...<br /><br />First of all, congrats on 3 years tobacco free! :)<br /><br />As for the ProTank (whether it's a mini, 2, 3, unitank, X10, etc), I have found that if you're using an eLiquid with too high a percentage of VG, that it can't keep up and does what you said.<br /><br />But quite honestly, what you describe can even happen with an RBA or RDA. Sometimes if you hit too much (hotbox in the Analog world), the wick just can't keep up with what you're asking from it. Quite honestly, the amount of heat being created from hitting too much also tends to make your eLiquid turn colors and taste funky/burnt too.<br /><br />I never liked hotboxing, as it made the cigarette smoke TOO HOT and quite honestly, it made me gag... Uggh, just thinking about the taste of the hot ashes and the gag-reflex is kicking in... LOL!<br /><br />Regardless of what device you're using, I would just Vape a little slower and I'm betting the problem will go away!<br /><br />Thank you for the question! :)Pastor Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08507712116774200461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5377286719794607960.post-15164002305307472662013-10-28T01:00:00.362-04:002013-10-28T01:00:00.362-04:00I am very new to the tank systems, I've always...I am very new to the tank systems, I've always done (more than 3yrs now tobacco free) lr510 atty's and love their flavor. I tried the vivi nova but lost it, then ended up with a not so good knock off. I am now trying the kanger unitank with the 1.5 atty's. awesome vapor but poor flavor and if hit on to often (as much as tobacco cig smoking) it seems dry and or burnt taste.

It makes no difference in the grand scheme of things. The ProTank and it's variants perform wonderfully and reliably, most of them are reasonably priced and Kanger stands by what they sell, in that they make replacement parts available.<br /><br />Additionally, I visit the Kanger website often and I am currently unable to find anything to substantiate your claim.<br /><br />This Blog is happy to hear about your thoughts and your experiences, but there's no need to be rude.Pastor Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08507712116774200461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5377286719794607960.post-27095672449837045372013-09-17T13:32:37.040-04:002013-09-17T13:32:37.040-04:00to whom it may concern: protanks, bases, ect were ...to whom it may concern: protanks, bases, ect were NEVER EVER made from stainless steel, period. that was a fable invented by the dealers and distributors to make the consumer think they were getting a much better product than they actually were/are. ive been in contact with kangertech personally ( and have the emails to PROVE IT with the names of the employees,ect) about this issue. when i brought this issue to their attention ( the claims of the protank being stainless) i was told that they were NEVER stainless, and kangertechs webpage description of the protank now reflects that point. the protank is a base metal brass, thats copper washed, and then chrome washed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5377286719794607960.post-66165832697969176712013-09-09T22:29:16.231-04:002013-09-09T22:29:16.231-04:00Anonymous,

A bit about batteries though. ...Great blog posts. A bit about batteries though. There are a couple of factors that go into the battery charging that impacts the amount of time it takes to recharge them.<br /><br />Batteries like to be charged at a specific rate; 1C. When you get a charger they have a number like 450mah (typical USB charger). So, if you've got a Vision Spinner 1350mah battery and it is completely drained (which is shouldn't be 100% drained), it would take almost 3 hours using a 450mah charger. However, if you use a 1350mah charger (not like to find one, but a 1000mah chargers are common) it would only take 1 hour. 1C for a 650mah battery is means a 650mah charger would charge it in 1 hour.<br /><br />I never charge any of my batteries at more than 1C. It is possible, but you run risk of damaging the battery and or having them get too hot and in worst case scenarios catch fire. So, stick to as close to 1C as you can or live with longer charging at a slower rate.D. Sean Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00613391314135286044noreply@blogger.com
