It is early and all, but a bit more feedback on the Magneto, Original KISS, and the AeroTank.
So far I am really enjoying these. I have been working hard at it too!! LOL Starting right with the morning coffee It is hard to get past the I want to go lay on the couch and watch a movie thing, but hey, it's a job right! LOL
Seriously now. It is like salt and pepper with these two attachments, both good, so far.
These two carts, whether it is the KISS with straight oil or the AeroTank with e-cannabis oil, are the whoop. Especially since I can use the Magneto with both. Whether it is with the 18350 battery or the larger 18650 battery, that is important to me. Not all of my carts will operate on the Magneto with the batteries I have, not enough power. I am sure with the right battery, I can get all the power I need. Just have to do some research.
For now, the KISS and the AeroTank are great with the batteries I do have.
So far with the AeroTank, it is a bit early to cast good judgement, it is working perfectly. It made me really happy to see it work well with a freshly charged 18350 battery.
Now this is not against the AeroTank, at least at this point I can't say so. With the replaceable coils, many times I will get a bad coil here and there. Sometimes even twice in a row. When I was using the AeroTank, I had my first bottom coil unit go bad. First time I experienced that with a mechanical vape. There is no circuitry protection in those. Also, I was using an unprotected battery. Anyway, one of the coils was still working so I could get a hit, but it tasted a bit funky. I also noticed that the battery compartment was getting warm. Not good, but I was not surprised, it has happened in the past. I did knock it over a couple times by accident, so that could have been the cause of the failure. Either way, the replacement coils only cost about $3 each. With this unit, the good news is, after removing it from the vape, I can turn it upside down and let all the oil drain down. After a few minutes and all of the oil has drained down, I unscrewed the bottom like I was going to refill it, but replaced the coil. This is the first time I can say that I only lost a drop or two of oil! When it comes to replacing a coil with the AeroTank, you don't really lose any oil. As long as this issue does not become frequent, this is really good news.
So far, these are the two vapes that are my favorite to use. Until I see either becoming a problem, they are the two I enjoy using the most.
With the cost of the AeroTank being $25 and the cost of the original KISS being $20, they are both worth it.

For those who have had problems with their pen batteries making contact with some accessories you know what a problem it can be to get the battery pin pulled up to make contact. The contact pin in most pen batteries and APV's is just floating in a rubber gasket or boot with wires soldered to it. If it gets pushed down too far from an accessory, it might not make contact with a different accessory. A few times now, more so with my pen vapes, I go around the contact pin with a pointy screw or thick toothpick and keep working my way around pulling upwards. Pull it up just a bit higher than normal and thread a good accessory. That should reset the pin perfectly in place.
A nice feature of the magneto is that the pin can be adjusted with a standard screwdriver! It basically telescopes up and down to accommodate any 510 thread accessory or adapter. I had to adjust mine down just a bit for my new Kangertech AeroTank and it sits perfectly flush on my magneto. I really like this feature.
 
The AeroTank also works well on the SVD. I am really liking it with the SVD kit I ordered from High Desert Vapes. At the very least I like it just as much as I like the mechanical rig. This is an example why I like all three units. Especially with the 18350 batteries.
With the AeroTank, so far I have put about 2 grams of e-cannabis through it. No leaking, nothing I can complain about.
I noticed earlier today that innokin has come out with a new tank. It looks like they are trying to compete with Kangertech and the AeroTank. I really like innokin products and would be happy to try the new iClear X.I Pyrex Glass Dual Coil Clearomizer, but it looks like they did not change the design enough from the iClear 30b to where it appears that the new unit will have the same leaking issue as the 30b. The 30b didn't leak too bad, but I did have to be sure to lay it down sideways, which was kind of annoying. It does deliver some of the best hits I have ever had. The iClear X.I appears to draw the airflow from the bottom just like the iClear 30b as well as the Kangertech ProTank3.
With Kangertech's new AeroTank, they did change the design from the ProTank3. The ProTank3 has a leaking issue and the new AeroTank does not. I believe this is due to where the airflow draw is from. The ProTank3 draws from the bottom right at the battery compartment, the AeroTank air is drawn from the side on the outside of the unit. I prefer it that way. I really don't want the air drawn right from the area where the battery is. It is nice to see these changes.
If for some reason I do find out that the iClear X.I does actually draw from outside of the tank and not the bottom, I would be happy to try one.
I have to say withe the Kangertech Aero Tank, I can't say it is the best tasting and all, but it is the overall best rig I have tried so far. Especially when you add into the equation what works. Glass can make it a little harsher and can prevent you from being able to taste your strains. I do respect the fact that they do use glass, I consider that more medicinal. It is really nice looking with the stainless steel. Drawing the air from the outside and having it be fully controllable, I am a happy camper.

Well, I have had to refill the AeroTank and mix some oil to do so.
I have learned with these bottom fed units that it is best to keep the oil nice and thick, like honey, at least with the AeroTank it is. I am probably only using 20% PG USP, maybe 3-5% 192 proof polish vodka, and the rest RSO. It seems like the thicker mixture has been more enjoyable. It works really good with a SVD too.
The thicker oil in the AeroTank seems to have made an overall improvement. Since it is a bottom fed unit, it can handle the oil being a bit thicker. It is a lot more tasty and more potent too. It also produces a bit of a thicker vapor. It even makes the mouthpiece or drip tip a bit sticky. I am really enjoying the thicker oil with the AeroTank and Magento.
To be honest, so far with the AeroTank and Magneto, to me it seems like a hospital/medical quality tool. Especially when you have some premium oil.
So far, no leaks and I have been keeping it in the upright position too. This is great, exactly what I have been looking for to vaporize concentrates.
