How long have I got ????

[wibble]

Mini pro tank arrived today .... How long have I got before I need replacement 'bits' ? i.e how long do they normally last ? Also can anyone recommend where to get the spares from (cheaply) haven't tested it yet as still have stuff left in the old one

[wibble]

Mini pro tank 2 that is

wibble By bits do you mean heads?

if so, it all depends on what your putting through it.

Depends how much you vape and with what eliquid wibble, some will gunk coils quicker than others.

Myepack are generally quite competitive:

By bits, do you mean coils? If so, it will depend on the juice you use but they will last around a week if you're lucky. They can be rewicked fairly easily though.

As for other bits (spare tanks etc) don't drop it and you'll be fine

Maybe buy a spare glass tank from Myepack when you get the chance or make an order with them wibble , only £1.99.

I mainly use the Mini Protank 2s and I found a tiny chip on the end of my glass tank last week when I was cleaning it, it's only 8 weeks old and have never dropped it or been heavy handed with it so was slightly miffed as to why it was there. I thought nothing of it as it was only on the outer edge and when I went to clean it again a few days ago it had got worse and a small shard had broken off into the silicone washer
The only thing I can think of which caused the damage was some juice I had was a bit too strong for it as the silicone washer at the base of the glass and the washer on coil base were slightly damaged too, or the fact that maybe I have been screwing the clearomiser together to tightly.
Luckily I have a spare tank so threw the chipped one away.

You've screwed it together too tight.

Thought as much, lesson learned, always have a spare glass tank

Thanks everyone Yes bit's was my technical term for the coils/heads charon, ionian I will order some spares and a spare glass just in case cHooBeyDoo

and think of making your own coils wibble - if you get some now - maybe about t 10 - then you can make in future your own - it really is easier than it looks - I speak of experience - was very sceptic at the beginning - but with the help of folks in here - no big deal anymore

[wibble]

I may give it a go in time Clivia, but for the time being I will just buy spares.

Next time you are down to Kernow wibble, bring your used heads with you and I'll show you how to recoil them using wick and wire; as Clivia says, it looks frighteningly difficult when you watch a video, but when someone is doing it in front of you it suddenly all makes sense. The advantages are that you get a much better vape form a recoiled head, it's way cheaper, and you have total control over the ohms and wicking of the head. Plus it's really satisfying to vape on a head that you have rebuilt yourself!!

you must have read my mind !! I was just thinking .. I'll wait till we next visit Perranporth and ask chykensa if he'll show me how to do it as it's easier when someone shows you and you can ask daft questions at the same time

I knew exactly what you meant wibble, technical terminology also being one of my strengths.

I have plenty of do-dahs, oojamaflips, thingies, bits and not to forget thingameebobs and thingameejigs@perpetua
