\"Mini<\/a>The Kanger Protank<\/a> has become a favorite of many vapers including me. \u00a0The solid build, great flavor, glass tank and ease of use and rebuild have made it a fixture in my everyday lineup. \u00a0The Mini Protank promises to be more of the same in a slightly smaller package.<\/p>\n

I recently received a Mini Protank from Viper Vape<\/a> and immediately put it into rotation. \u00a0The shape and function are nearly identical to its larger sibling, with the exception of its slimmer width. \u00a0Of course, that also translates into a smaller capacity, with the 1.2ml Mini holding just about half of \u00a0what the larger Protank does.<\/p>\n

Design<\/strong><\/p>\n

The base on the initial version of the Mini Protank is an eGo style connector with only the outside threads, so it will not work with a standard 510 connector without an eGo adapter. \u00a0The result is that it looks great on an eGo battery and works perfectly on other ego threaded devices, including the Vamo. \u00a0This is good news, as Kanger products such as the EVOD are a little too wide and have airflow problems when mated with some devices. \u00a0A 510 fitting for the Mini should be shipping soon.<\/p>\n

\"Mini<\/p>\n

Like other bottom coil changeable (BCC) designs, the Mini incorporates a removable coil head that unscrews easily from the inside of the base. \u00a0Coil heads are much less expensive than buying the whole unit, so replacing them when flavor starts to wane is not a big issue. \u00a0I have routinely gotten several weeks out of a Protank head and there is no reason to expect less from the Mini. \u00a0The Mini comes with two coil heads.\"Mini<\/a>
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

The base is my only point of criticism on the design. \u00a0Like it’s larger sibling, the ends of the Mini tank are capped in bright chrome. \u00a0For some reason, Kanger decided to use a gunmetal finish for the eGo bottom cap. \u00a0I’d rather see all chrome or all gun metal on my devices, not a mixture of both. \u00a0It’s only an aesthetic point, but it bugs me.<\/p>\n

\"Mini<\/a><\/p>\n

I do have to give Kanger kudos for at least attempting to include instructions. \u00a0There are not only instructions on the back of the bbox, but on a card inside as well. \u00a0That’s good info for a new user. \u00a0Of course, the translated English is not that great, but the real head scratcher is in seeing Kangertech spelled wrong on the outside!\"Mini<\/a><\/p>\n

Filling<\/strong><\/p>\n

The bottom cap unscrews easily to allow for filling. \u00a0The slimmer tank does mean that there is a little less room between the center tube and the side of the tank, but I still had no issues with filling from a dropper bottle while keeping the tank at a slight angle. \u00a0Like most bottom coil designs, there is often a little leakage of remaining e-liquid from the mouthpiece, so filling on a paper towel is recommended.\"Mini<\/a><\/p>\n

Performance<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Mini Protank lives up to the what we have come to expect from its BCC predecessors. \u00a0The draw is smooth and perhaps not quite as airy as the larger Protank. \u00a0Flavor production is fantastic and the coil assembly handles a wide range of voltages quite well. \u00a0It is quite easy to produce massive amounts of vapor with the Mini.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/p>\n

There is not much more to say about the Mini other than it is a faithful rendition of the Protank in a smaller, more eGo friendly package. \u00a0Given the success of the latter, that should mean that is becomes another hit for Kanger.<\/p>\n

Note: \u00a0A big thank you to Viper Vape<\/a> for providing a Mini Protank for review. \u00a0We appreciate the opportunity to try new vaping gear and as always try not to let that get in the way of an honest review.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
