Errr...not sure how to 'tag' ??? MrsMac- those are the little b*ggers, yes!  jaysey- I think I may well use your method of cleaning from now on, and will keep my flavoured liquids in the cartos with the eGo until I can afford another tank or two. PP- Thank you  - I'll keep you in mind in case! You really are such a lurvely lot  **Edited to add that I'll have a read through the 'help' thread, I see there's a tag post there  |

No, not across the pond  I have emailed VE, there are none on the site, but I've yet to hear back....which is quite unusual! I'll have a look at the link, cannot believe it's so hard to find replacements  and the AeroTank didn't come with any. Ok, edited to say that I've emailed to ask if they have them, I don't see them listed and I'm not sure on size - if the ProTank ones would fit an AeroTank mini ??? |

I only realised too late that it may have been a o-ring so it would be no where to be found now So the ring missing at the top lets the juice leak out the bottom! Hadn't thought about air in the tank. No, I've just had another look at the AeroTank mini box, and there are no spare o-rings in there sadly. I didn't see any on the VE site, but will have another root round, best get a few when I find them! Quite anxious to get back to using the tank, was a much better experience |

I received my new kit, VS2 and an AeroTank mini, charged up the battery (½ hour then and additional 3-4 hrs. as mentioned on the forum  ), filled up the tank and vaped. Absolute heaven coming from and eGo and cartomisers! Thing is I used a flavoured liquid and when it finally ran out I needed to clean the tank before adding my fav. baccy flavour. When I cleaned the tank I thought one end of the glass tube looked a bit "foggy", white like etched glass does. Cleaned and put back together.... it was horrible No matter how I adjusted the voltage or the air I was getting next to no vapour. I laid it down to do something and when I came back the tube had a small amount of liquid on the outside and there was a damp patch under it (tiny). I was getting a bit fed up so put it upright where I keep my gear and got out the old eGo and cartos. Next morning when I had calmed down, lol, and went to get the new kit to try again, there was liquid halfway down the outside of the battery and of course the connection was full etc... I've now got it cleaned up (again!) and have taken a photo as I'm not sure what each part is called. I'm now thinking that the bit I thought looked "foggy" was in fact some sort of silicone washer that I have washed down the drain. If so, I still don't understand why it would be leaking when upright?? In the photo, from the right - this bit has a "silicone washer" down by the threaded bit, the second piece has a washer at the bottom where the tube would sit, the 3rd piece which is the top when together has no washer. There are no washers on the tube itself (now!). I do have to say that I found changing the air to be quite fiddly for me as I couldn't grip just the adjustable bit and found I was often also turning the very bottom where it screws on to the battery. Still I'm not sure why this would make the bottom leak when upright. So - am I missing a washer at the top (for the leak when laying down), can you buy them separately and what have I done that would make it leak from the bottom? I apologise for this turning into a tome, and want to say that it worked perfectly before I messed it up! I was so impressed and am now back on the eGo and cartos, an unhappy vaper and desperate for advice. Thanks  |

Thanks for that jaysey! I've just ordered the mini (an upgrade for me), and have seen vids where they were bemoaning the fact that you couldn't really "fill" them. I'll be giving it a try |

Ok, ordered!  1 Vision Spinner 2 in purple 1 AeroTank mini - suggested as a good replacement for the ProTank 2 as airflow whatzit is built in and is double coil 1 pkg. of replacement coils Some liquid, a new flavour to celebrate the new kit, and a rainbow drip tip to round everything off Would have loved to get 2 of the VS2 and AeroTanks, but finances say I must wait a bit, lol. Will just have to use my eGo C while the VS2 is charging for now. |

Thanks, the video was easy to understand, but I wasn't sure about which bits were the ones I would need to replace regularly. I read somewhere yesterday, probably here on AAEC, that people suggested using the "old" Kanger dual coils as opposed to the 'new' ones?? Does this apply to the Pro Tank? The Pro Tank is bottom coil dual? Sorry, so much info it's all a bit of a blur  Again, read that bottom coil is best. Will be ordering this afternoon, any final advise greatly appreciated! Want to get it right first go so when it arrives I can use it as soon as it's charged. Oh, plinths - are they something I need for the VS2 & a Pro Tank? And a airflow controller . . . .  |

Ok, after much consideration and too much time online I've decided on the Vision Spinner 2 (for sure) and probably the Pro Tank 2. I really was just going for a tank or clearomiser to add to my eGo C but figured that I best just jump ahead the full notch, lol remembering that when I began I was one who was looking for an eCig that looked and felt like a regular cig. That lasted about a month. Giving in for today, but will look about tomorrow for vids telling me what bits need replacing in the Pro Tank types so when I order I can have spares ready to go. If you know a direct link to any I would appreciate it, I'd like to get the order out some time tomorrow. Also, will the VS2 charge with my current charger? I don't know if its branded at all but it's usb to mains lead. Never have charged via usb! Thank you again, everyone, for all the help. I'll be back! |

Thanks PP I looked at your links and it says that it holds 1.6ml. I'm not sure what that comes to in 'drops' but think I would still end up having to fill it more than once a day? To tell you the truth, I've no idea right now how much liquid I use. When one bottle is empty I just open another! |

igual - I will look at what you've suggested, it just sounds like it may be more than what I'm after - possibly the next step up after this? prowler - I am definitely a one step at a time person! I really just (for now) want something that isn't 6 or 8 pieces, something I can fill then screw onto a battery and go. I didn't know different tanks were used for different liquids though so more questions. I'll have a look again at the vids on here, see if there are any on how to use/what parts to replace etc... on tanks. I gather these clearomiser things just wouldn't be a step up enough? Actually I'm not sure how much liquid I use I soak the cartos and then when I use one I end up putting about 6 drops in every 3-4 hours. |

Hi I am wanting to "upgrade" my set up, I currently just use an eGo C (1600) battery and Kanger cartos, which I've been using for some time now, since I started vaping really - 2 years now?? Getting a bit fed up though with having to fill the carto several times a day and I'm looking for one of those ( no proper tech terms here, lol) that you fill maybe once daily?? I have had a look around the forum, but am still totally confused as to what I should be getting, I want it simple and working. Could I please have recommendations as to what the next step up might be for me? Which top bit (clearomiser or tank) and best battery to go with. And as I'm so used to just having a carto that screws into my battery, does changing to this new kit mean I'll need other bits that I don't use now? Thanks so much, I do appreciate it and this forum was loads of help when I first started out. If it makes a difference to what's available, I always order from Jason @ Vape Escape and really don't want to switch to anyone else due to their fab service! |

Ha! Change of plan (again!). I'll stick with the cartos I have and try upping the nico to 12mg with something Grizwaldy  If after that I'm still not happy I'll give the LR cartos a try. Will let you know....... |
