So I've Got This Kanger Mini Protank 3, See?

In my upgrade journey, first thing to go was the $5 disposable tank that I bought with my EVOD VV. Replaced it with a Kanger Mini Protank 3, and bought a couple replacement coils. I didn't get more vapor out of it, but I did lose the occasional burned vape. It was when I upgraded to a mod and was able to run that tank at 10W that it came alive. I'm not saying it was terrific, but it was "decent."

The Protank 3 was subsequently supplanted by a GS-Tank, and I've got a Crius RTA on the way.

But I don't want the Protank 3 to go to waste. What I'd like to do it put it on a stick that does VW and can drive it at 10W.

Suggestions? Preferably with eGo connector? Preferably somewhat economical?

Check Fasttech for vv spinner type batteries. Vision Spinner II (4.8v) 14.00 usd, and I just purchased another Tesla Spider II, (6V) 17.00 usd. both 1300-1800mah and work great with protank 2 or 3 minis.

Thanks for the suggestions, everybody! I will take them under advisement.

The air flow controller bases are essential for protanks. Since your interested in upgrading, you might want to consider an ijust2 or ego one kit. Gear best has them for $22-$25, or about the same price as a spinner.

I haven't had much luck with spinner "style". They die on the 91st day for me. So I try to find authentic, but I don't think many stores know which they have.

Well, the whole point is to use the Mini Protank 3 :) So, yeah, the air flow base for it. Got it on my wishlist over at myvaporstore.com. I'll check the other sites from which I've already purchased, and, if they have 'em, I'll put it on my wishlists there, too.

I think I really want VW, and I really want a "stick" form factor. So I'm leaning toward the iTaste VV4, right now. It's more spendy, and it's not round :(, but it goes to 15W, which gives me 50% headroom.

You mean the iTaste? If so, I think you'd be happy with that. I had the lower mAh one, actually still do, and always loved that little sucker. I dropped it in a glass of water. It went, "zzzt, zzzzzzzzzt". Wouldn't work. I was sad, man. About a month later, decided to see if it would do anything. It worked!! Still does.

I did the rice thing for 3 days. It wouldn't do a thing. Nothing. Tossed it in a drawer, for some reason. Glad I did!

Tube mod = Vamo2 cheap as hell and goes to 15watts
Small Box = IPV 20 or IPV 30
Small to Medium Sized Box = MVP2
Bigger Box = Skip this category as just about everything I can think of will have way more power than what you'd need.

Hmmm... I forgot about the Vamo mods. Kind of big-ish, tho. I'd have to get another 18650...

Wish I could get a Smoktech SID...

Not really you can use a Vamo2 in 18350 mode.

Just put the end cap on without the middle tube.

I forgot about that one. Very good choice and much, much better than any spinner that's for sure. I think you'll be surprised at how sharp your mini pt looks on it. Even Innokin paired it with a round clearo. The nice thing about the square shape is you can lay it down without worry about it rolling off if the table gets bumped. It's also still pocket friendly. I did see the vv3 on sale somewhere for $15. I've been cruising the sales.

The Innokin ITaste vv3 or vv4 are nice, just don't DROP them. My vv3 basically was in pieces when it fell out of my pants pocket.

LOL, I abused the hell out of mine. It doesn't work as wonderfully as it did, originally, but it still works.

Well, yes, but I don't have any 18350s :) So I'd have to buy two of those.

Those go up to 11w but I saw the mvp 2 on sale and that went up to 15w. The battery life on the mvp is fantastic and that's one thing you wont have with the itaste vw. The mvp looks great with pt but you might need a $1 adapter. It's a good time to buy right now. Due to all the focus on high wattage gear, a lot of the older, but still good stuff is on closeout sales.
