Ok I lied about the peas. But here is the deal - My protank II heads SUCK.
I got nice vapes for a few days off them, but guess what? After a bit it was burnt wet sheepdog taste.
This video talks about redoing your coils, so thats the first step:

You will need some tools too: 5/64ths drill bit (its 2mm), Kanthal Wire (I suggest 32 guage), a Box of CVS brand sterile cotton balls (or whatever brand you have locally thats sterile), some tweezers with a fine point, some tweezers with a flat point, and a lighter or better yet: butane torch. A straight pin might help with moving cotton o adjusting coils, but fine point tweezers will probably do the job better. Oh and lastly a pair of fingernail clippers for clipping Kanthal Wire.

you are going to really want to see your coils up close when you are adjusting them or putting the wick in.
LASTLY! very important!!! Some means to test resistance on your newly made coil!!! An ohm meter, or a resistance meter from any of a zillion online or brick and mortar vape shops. I got one from Harbor Freight and it kinda sucks so I think I'll take it back. I dont like it, I went cheapo and it needs to really be decent and not crap.
So..get all that stuff and watch the video.
All these tools are about 30 bucks, maybe not even that much since folks tend to have a few things out of this list already.
The helping hands allow you to really see up close so they are very useful, and that first link's price is...7 bucks + tax. I removed the alligator clip/bar so thats not in the way. I also store my drill bits and a cotton ball right there.
For wicks...a small amount of cotton - two dry rice grains worth - goes a very long way (you also trim off excess)...then just prime w/ juice, put tank back together...give a few draws on tank w/ no power..wait a few mins to let cotton wick..and BAM...better vapes.
Cleaning is easy too, remove cotton, throw away, then rinse coil, dry burn, rinse again, dry burn one more time to really get any gunk off, then load it with more cotton, trim, prime, draw, fill..wait...vape.
Anyways, thats my long rant and I dint get peas or anything so now im mad. Just kidding! I'm always mad. Unless I get ice creams.
