1. Welcome to Thailand Vapers, an English language forum for members in Thailand and the rest of Asia to talk about vaping.
    Commonly referred to as e-cigarettes, vaping is really about the use of personal vaporizers (mods) and atomizers (tanks, clearos, RBAs, RDAs, RTAs) filled with e-liquid.

    I've ordered a iClear 16 and aspire BDC C5 from Micky (+ extra heads)... hopefully one of those will work well enough to get me through the new year. If I had to guess I think I'll end up on the iClear, I love the idea of the bottom fed tanks for avoiding dry hits and having a cooler vape, but protank 3 has kind of shown me that even with the latest and greatest designs this concept isn't quite realized yet! Especially if like me you tend to chain vape with long pulls.

    Sorry to hear you ended up in the same boat Asia, hope you have a spare clearo to fall back on ... if not get your order in with Micky today as he's on holiday starting tomorrow!

    stupid me--for some reason I thought that micky was already on vacation

    I have never ordered anything so I don't really know the process--a simple pricelist would be nice

    i do have a spare clearmizer that I am using

    Its not a slinging match lol ,its good to see differing reviews and reviewers so we the buying public can make informed choices i say .It also shows that the vaping experience does need an ovehaul in the tank department as a whole .The next wave of juice delivery will be ?? .

    gtr666, you had me at hello :hello:

    its all in good fun, not trying to hurt any feelings. i like how this community is set up and helpful and not spiteful, maybe i am a bit defensive of my aspires :rolling laugh: i think i will be venturing into new ground soon because i only have the basic ce4s to compare to. i am sure everyone understands that your first love is your strongest :love:

    thanks for being my devils advocate :thank you:

    i wish you a merry christmas and a happy new :vaping:

    Finding what to buy through the Micky Shop forum threads rather than just having a price-list / catalog page is a bit confusing, but not too bad. Just have a browse and send him an email with everything you are interested in and ask him to confirm if it's in stock. After that he can give you a price and you go pay that directly at either KBank or Siam Commercial using the little transfer form you can pick up inside the bank and the account numbers that are part of Micky's signature ... Though I think he's away till the new year now.

    I'm back to smoking my old CE4 clearo at the moment until the new tanks arrive, hopefully tomorrow .. For those of you that have read my introduction post you will know the whole reason I joined up here was to purchase something to replace my CE4, because the thing is so old that everything vaped on it tastes like burn't curtains ... but at least I can -vape- burn't curtains wit hthe CE4, rather than -drink- midnight apple with the protank :p

    Just got my iClear 16 and Aspire CE.

    So far just used the iClear and it works flawlessly ... now this is what I want from a clearo: fill it, vape it, done!

    Looking forward to trying the Aspire but I'm just not in the mood for another bottom coil tank with potential spitting problems right now.

    So, got a Protank 3 + 4 heads for sale, ideal piece of kit for any one that prefers drinking their juice to vaping it! :p Personally I think I'll be stocking op on iClear heads.

    Also the iClear 30 is a good joyce. Got it now 3 weeks and its just a good and easy vape. Vivi novas are still in the category as one of the best clearos for me. Just got the chines verson and it performs well on an ego.

    i took my kanger protank3 back to the shop where i bought it--the owner said the wick was too small and he made a new one--it worked for about 3 puffs then was back to normal crappy performance--little vapor and lots of juice getting into my mouth---I will also get rid of mine

    i want something that works. I heard that nova vv's were good

    Hey PommyB, Well I'm happy to part with the tank cheap and put the money towards stockpiling iClear 16 heads :) But that would be selling with the understanding that you have read my experiences in this thread and realize that I can't guarantee that the tank isn't defective in some way (though I honestly do think it is just a 'normal' tank).

    Coils I would discount slightly, but they are still in the blister pack unused. Also I double checked and turns out I only have 3 coils left unused. The head currently in the tank has been used, but only for less than 10 minutes vape - I can leave it in there if you don't mind dry burning it or I can chuck it.

    1x Tank (boxed, no/1 heads) 225 bt (50% off)
    3x Heads (2 Ohms) 210 bt (30% off)
    EMS 49 bt (2% off :p)

    PM me if interested. I didn't mean to warp this thread into a classified post. The actual sales offer was made slightly tongue in cheek :p

    No problem. Tongue in cheek it is. My mistake.

    Cheers
