I bought an atomo clone from FT but it didnt seem to be the right size - at least the 18650 tube (it came with 490 and 350 tubes as well). The 18650 battery didnt fit, slid up and down. Maybe it was designed to be used with a kick? Not sure, btu I ended up giving it away. It looked nice - clean, plain, shiny. Didn't seem to have a great locking system.

I use a haka 650 with a mini protank 3 for portable. Used to use the halo g6, but grew out of it. Both fit in the pocket, but for more stealth, the g6 would be better as it doesnt produce as much vapor and if you hold it in for a second, you can almost exhale nothing.

Agreed - I don't think you should be stacking batteries. Use it in 18350 mode with just one battery and switch them out when low, or use one 18650 - flat or button top.

I've ordered many times from Fasttech and its fine - the wait varies but do not order batteries from overseas as they may get held up in customs. Maybe also try cloud9vaping.co.uk Would you post a link to the product you're considering? I dont see any provari-style mods on Fasttech.. unless you just mean variable voltage.

I use a vamo v5 most of the time and generally have the kanger aerotank on it now. Ive tried all the protanks and the aspire tanks, including the nautilus and the aerotank is still the best, both for looks and vapor. I generally have it set to 8 or 8.5w, depending on the juice. The aspire BDC would be my second choice.

As with many technologies, in the beginning, we focus on the technology itself. Just having it is good enough that we're willing to sweat a little to get it. Once the technology takes off, competitors emerge and a feature war ensues. Products become packed with more and more things to set themselves apart from one another, but eventually they all reach feature-parity. They all do the same thing equally as well. Think cell phones - at some point they all had the same camera, the same connectivity, the same display. Its then that someone changes the experience of using the technology. The iPhone didn't have any new features (arguably), but it changed the way we think about using a cell phone and it also provided more value through the system of connected products. Today, I think we are beginning the feature war in vaping.We have had the tech for a while, it's evolving. Manufacturers are improving the reliability and ability of their devices. Some are even starting to focus on the vaper, not the vapor and thats where we will see new experiences. I see a sea change coming - battery sizes are fluctuating, mods and coiling are becoming much more niche, people are tired of the maintenance. I think this year we will see a new range of devices, but not much of a shift in the essence. Sooner or later, someone will develop the iPhone of vapes. But maybe everyone's waiting to see what happens with regulation. Rant over. That said.. I'm a convert to Aspire. The Aspire BDC just has so much less hassle than the KPT2. http://www.vividsmoke.com/aspire-vivi-nova-s-bdc-glassomizer.html I am also a fan of the Kanger Aerotank. It doesn't suffer any issues - gurgling, leaking, flooding.. just works properly. I have the aerotank on a nemesis clone, upgraded with a magnetic switch and new firing pins. No kick, 2.2ohm coil. The aspire is on a vamo5 and that's my workhorse. Both setups run with much less effort than my kpt2s or carto tanks, egos and the like. Check my pinterest board. I pin a lot of the interesting new **** that comes out. I see a lot of coiling devices today - things to make coiling easier, but I have to think we won't be making our own wicks and coils for long. Got any ideas..?

Try the ProTank3 or the Aspire BDC. They're both massive improvements from the PT2 and the dual coils work better with thicker juices. The Tatroe tanks (http://www.cigtechs.com/Tatroe-Mods_c_66.html) are a good upgrade for the PT2 coil, albeit long and heavy. Thats about as good as the industry gets right now before jumping into rebuilding. I'm currently using a vamo5 + Aspire BDC at home and an ego twist+miniPTIIv2 in my pocket and I usually vape maxVG.
