Need advise on Clearomizers

[Patricia]

That you all who answered my question about the David coils but now I need your advice on what kind of clearomizers you recommend and where to look for them. Also, what kind of coils go with them. I have bought a couple of Eleaf iStick 50 Watt batteries and an Eleaf Melo Tank. I love the batteries but this is the third time I have tried the SUB tanks and I do not like them. I keep going back to the what I think are called clearomizers. Tanks such as Protanks, Kanger EMOWS, ETC. Also, I like very colorful tanks, not just the plain clear ones. I saw on one site where I could buy an adapter that will let me use the type of tanks I prefer on the Eleaf iStick. I also saw some Protank 3s that were very colorful but only had 2 colors in stock and I even googled them and everyone seem to be out of stock. Maybe they have stopped making them? Well to make a long story longer If you have any suggestions on the type of tanks I am looking for would you please let me know along with what coils I should buy and the best places to find them. More then one place if you know of more because as I found out searching yesterday, if it is a popular item it is very likely to be out of stock. Thank yall in advance

When it comes to a "standard" tank, I do love my AeroTanks (V1 and V2).  You can get the colored glass for them... Sweet-Vapes is where I bought my last smoke-colored glass for mine, and they had a rainbow available (at the time).  The AeroTanks, KPT2, and KPT3 all use the same (size) glass section.  I prefer the air-flow controller of the AT-V2 better than the V1, but both work very well, and both use the Kanger dual-coils (BDC) which are available in resistance from 0.8 Ohms up to 2.0 Ohms.

The KPT2 (single-coil) can also use the Aerotank air-flow bases, so for $3-4 you can change your KPT2 or Davide tanks into Aerotanks, and still use the cheaper single coils.

The Nautilus and Nautilus mini are good (although I'm not a huge fan, mostly due to the price and how fragile they are), and you get good flavor from them without going sub-ohm.  BUT, the Nautilus, to my knowledge, does not have colorful glass available.

The sub-tank mini and nano are available in colors (black, white, pink, and more are coming), and you can get coils for them up to 1.5 Ohm??  ( I can't remember off-hand, sorry).

But, for me, the price, reliability, and function of the KPT2 (with air-flow controller) or the AeroTanks cannot be beat... when you're talking about a basic tank.

The Kanger Pro Tank 2 is going for $15.00 in the Vapor Talk store, the Aerotank airflow base is $3.99, the Aerotank 2 is $27. If you go to Discount Vapers you will find a full Kanger Pro Tank 3 kit for $18.99 -- although they say you have to use the more expensive dual coils on the KPT3, I have had one for over a year and use the single coils just fine with no problem.

I looked through the Vapor Talk store and the I could only find clear tanks, nothing with color. I do love the Protank 2s and never tried the Protank 3s. It is good to know I can use the Protank 2 coils with the Protank 3s just in case I can find some colorful Protank 3s because I have a lot of left over Protank 2 coils. Thanks Tam.

You can buy the Protank 2 lots of places, and also the glass in pretty much most of the available colors, but it involves buying the tank then buying the glass separately.

most of the sites are saying the kpt is being discontinued. 2 and 3

I don't think Kanger will stop making the KPT2 and 3 for quite some time, they are too popular, but I suppose some retailers might stop selling them. There is probably a smaller profit margin in them compared to all the different subtanks that are on the market, and that's what a lot of retailers look at, the bottom dollar is what counts. I use mostly my subtank minis but I also use my KPT2 everyday usually when I watch TV or on the internet, I don't need big clouds blocking my view.

 

The KPT2 is the VW bug of the vape world.

LMAO, but it is so true... they are the VW Beetle of vaping!

I noticed a lot of online retailers are starting to "close-out" the KPT2 and KPT3, as well as some of the other die-hard pro-tank and mini styles, but Kanger has NOT stopped making them (yet), so I think your assessment of cost-to-profit ratio is probably spot-on.
