well in my experience so far: 1.) to top it off means just to keep it filled. dont let it get down past halfway. i dont think thats a necessity. I have used it all the way down to basically the bottom of the tank and had no issues with it gurgling. 2.) I did try to rewick the coil but there was no dice with that one bc apparently the cotton wicking i use is too aggressive to the tank and it cause the atty to flood. however the replacement coils are only 1.65 a piece at the veteran vaper so buying replacements are no issue. 3.) burn drying the tank is simply using heat to dry the tank out after you have washed it out. you can use a lighter or sometimes an atty without a wick. quite frankly... i havent done it... but i dont see why it would change the performance since its a pyrex tank. 4.) make sure when you unscrew it from your battery that you make sure you are grabbing the bottom ring since it does like to unscrew from the tank and leave that ring... which will cause a HUGE mess depending on how much liquid is in it. LOL anyway patricia i dont think you will have too much trouble with the tank. Its pretty easy and just treat it as you would a clearomizer. Also after you fill it for the first time.... let it sit for a few minutes and wick up the stuff especially if your using a high VG liquid.

You'll do fine Patricia !!! I go for no fuss, no muss. do you have a vivi nova or EVOD? If you do, I treat it the same as I do my vivi nova and EVOD or Kanger T3....fill it, vape, refill as needed. when its not vaping right, I put on a replacement head, fill and vape. I assume you will be using yours on an Ego type battery.....there is a sleeve that fits between the battery and tank to give it a more finished look. http://www.theveteranvaper.com/ego-sleeves/ (Type C). Not sure if the contest included the sleeve or just the tank (I should know tomorrow when mine arrives) no need for it to be complicated. the replacement heads are fairly cheap.

I hold the tank upside down of course when I fill it. I usually fill to at least the top of the glass section and no more than 1/8" from the opening of the vent tube. I personally don't dry burn these coils until after a 24hr vodka soak. Then I use an eGo battery set at low voltage to fire it at something like 3 second bursts. Depending on how much crud there is I often use a tiny jewelers' screwdriver to gently scrape stuff away. Once you see no more smoke during the burn and the coil windings each glow brightly then it's as clean as it's going to get. Dry burning a coil after some use and cleaning is necessary for any kind of decent performance. It's either that or just keep buying new coils. Do NOT dry burn any coil at high voltage. You can fry one really quickly that way.

Gurgling usually happens in tanks when some liquid gets into the center post. All you have to do is take the tank off the battery, hold a tissue loosely around the bottom (where the tank screws into the battery), blow into the mouth piece to clear the center post. Dab tissue into battery to collect the juice there, rescrew in the tank and you should be good to go. From my experience with the Pro Tank dry burning is not necessary. Topping off means to fill it up. In this instance he was saying keep it filled, which I don't find necessary with the Pro Tank. This guy might be over filling his tank, which is why he keeps getting gurgling. At least that's what it sounds like to me with your descriptions and not having seen the vid in question.

I expect that the vendors are still putting their stuff up on the site but I wish there were more selection with dripping atomizers. The only ones I saw were for eGo-C and T with very few for the 510 available. If possible I'd love to see 306 and more 510s (both bridged and debridged) on the site. There. My two cents and I haven't even had a sip of coffee yet, so if you see misspelled words and/or me not making sense more than usual -- that's why.

I have checked a couple of times for atomizers but no joy. Looking for 306 or 510. But that is all I have looked for so far. Haven't really explored it much yet

'Lucky' that by lurking here, then getting a little advice on a starter kit, I bought some quality products and was amazed at how preferable it was to analogs. The reason I mention this is that I had an experience today that would have, had it been my first 'ecig' probably have turned me off to vaping. I was given a new 'V2' light, single use ecig by someone who had it, but wasn't going to use it. I haven't tried any small auto units, so I thought I'd try it. IMO, boy did it suk. No throat hit at all, and terrible taste. And I hit it a dozen times or so. Had that been my first experience with vaping, I may very well have said 'not for me'. I guess the lesson is if you are looking to switch someone, advise them to give 'your' gear a try, and not just let them grab something off the rack.

As Boris the Blade said in the film "Sn@tch:" "The weight is a sign of reliability....besides, if it doesn't work, you can always hit someone over the head with it!!" Yes, the Richman is probably the best looking RBA for the price. The guy I was talking to last night quoted me $35....and I didn't bother to ask if it had a glass tank. Though, I'm sure IBtanked or Phiniac could custom make one if it didn't. Unlike the RSST..... I'm sure you could JB weld the hole in the Igo (liquid nails would be quite nasty, let alone completely inappropriate for food-grade use), and drill out a new one. Though, I'll try drilling out a cheap Octopus clone first, as you can get three of those on Fasttech for the price of one Igo-L.

I want one of those! Where can I get it?

That little sleeve can be screwed up close to the tank to tighten airflow and away from the tank to loosen the draw. I can't use the ring on my devices but some people feel the ability to adjust airflow nice.

We're still cigarette free - thinking of upgrading though! You were right!

I like the look of the site, seems easy to get around, but haven't found what I'm looking for KPT minis, and not sure if I like seeing the same item listed more than once with different price points,.....

Just buy new heads, cheap and easy, and if your not comfortable rewicking, can be messy. To clean them, I just rinse in hot water, and make sure they are dry before refilling. The tube is large on the KPT, so you can fit a qtip all the way up during filling, and ensures no overfill gets down the tube. On a twister you'll look like your eating a drumstick!

I just grabbed it with 1 hand and wiggled the tube gently and it came right apart. Same with reassembly just held 1 end and pressed the tube back in. never had issues with gurgling, leaks etc. I found it easier than vision ce4 etc as far as ease of use and performance. I'm sure you will like it. Just remember its very fragile if it drops it could shatter. Thats my only beef with the pro tank, love how it performs but it's extremely fragile. Use it at home on carpeted surfaces or in the couch.

I forgot to mention that I use pliers to pull the air tube from the actual coil section before cleaning. Once you have those 2 pieces apart remove the 2 flavor wicks, rinse with water and put them aside to dry. When reassembling it help to lubricate the end of the air tube where it press fits on the coil section with a little e juice. You'll have to use pliers either way (at least I do) but it makes it a little easier.

Totally agree with Medic's #4. It's a huge mess with liquid running everywhere if you accidentally unscrew the base from the battery instead of the whole tank.

I ordered Joyetech eVic, which took only 2 days to get here, which was awesome. However, not even a week after I got it, it was listed as $30 off. That was a little upsetting. However, for the timeliness and ease of ordering, a good 5 stars. The only other thing I would like to see is 0mg Nic juice. I have finally gotten rid of all nic since starting a year ago.

I have looked at it a few times .There are so many vendors out there and some of us have been at this for quite some time and have established relationships with vendors that provide the goods we want and the prices we want to pay.It will be very beneficial to folks who are starting out to be able to comparison shop at one place .I suspect it will just be a process to either get it going good or find it it might not be a good thing.Hope it works out and as always I will keep an eye on it and order the occasional treat from a different vendor .

well have no fear i bought a simple RDA for two reasons. It appears to be less complicated because there is no tank involved and cant have leaks ad such do to improper assembly for that. and because i drip more often then not at home unless im laying in bed. lol!

I recently went to Knotts Berry farm. I saw quite a few vapers there.

Yeah! I mentioned it to a guy. He quickly brushed me off and said " I hate those things!" I said, "These things?" Holding up my rig, I took a drag and blew out a plume. "Try it." He looked a little puzzled. He took a respectable hit and his eyes widened.. "That tastes like a cigarette." He walked away like he didnt believe it. Later he came back to me asking more about it. I dont know if he's vaping, but I for sure know he's thinking about it.

I know this answer is off topic, but..... I finally found the source of leaking with my vivi nova....there was a separation at the bottom of the tank. the piece that screws into the battery separated slightly from the metal section that unscrews from the tank. I just reseated it and no more leak. I find it separates when I have had it in my pocket and it gets a bit battered. Now I just check it now and again, haven't had any more trouble with leaking.

Wow, CE, good catch on that AGI. My mind is on vacation, I didn't notice that at all. I read AGA-T-+ because I wanted to I guess lol. off to enjoy my mindless vacation while it lasts.

Right on! The IGO-W is rumored to be quite nice plus it gives the option of dual coils or single. (ha! I took the time to read the description this time around lol). Very nice. I'm sure you'll love it, and there are tons of tutorials out there for those. While I'm here, and I'm still stuck on that heavy Richman, I thought I'd share something I just this minute learned. Here goes: "the v1 which is only available if you get second-hand has a 2.5mm (same as the AGA). The v2 which will be the ones going up for sale in the next several weeks will be 3mm. No drilling necessary." quoted from an ape faced avatar guy on another forum. I hope he's right!

This is my set up. I have an eVIC with the nova STV and then two generic ego batteries with kanger T2's and an Itaste vv V3 with a kangar T3. Not pictured is my protank and my mt3

My setups along with my cousins'. I personally own the vamo and the k100 (aka Megaman).

Thats a Vamo and a pro tank yes?
