Just a brief intro… When I was 18 I started smoking and that lasted for 11 years. Cigars, cigarettes, dip/pouches etc. After seeing enough guys at work vaping, I decided to check it out. I spent a solid month reviewing and learning from you and GrimmGreen. My job has me out in the field, climbing things, traveling, harsh weather etc. I needed a simple setup that could also handle the abuse. For my birthday I decided to make the investment. I settled on the ProVari and Protank. With your Melon Boba recommendation, I have a set-and-forget rig that has performed flawlessly and has withstood some serious punishment (and drops). I have been smoke free since 6/8/13. Not a single cigarette or anything else. Massive thanks for providing detailed information in a way that an OCDer like myself could sift through.
As for the Kanger Protank vs Protank 2. I had the exact same experience. The initial Protank worked great and I was waiting for the upgrade, so I was a little frustrated when the Protank 2 cut the airflow off when tightened down all the way. After swapping the base between the two tanks, the Protank 2 works perfectly. Thanks for giving me the idea in your video review, I was almost disappointed in the purchase.
Again, thank you for everything!
