Have had these for a week now and they work amazing. Did not like the airy draw so I blocked up one hole with a toothpick. Great draw, just right, but then it started gurgling and leaking. cleaned it out a few times but no better. took the tooth pick plug out and all leaking and gurgling stopped, works great again. I think the protank was designed with the airy draw for that reason. With the hole plugged it was sucking too much juice. Just my opinion. My vapeonly floods at the top of the tank were tip sit, it has a stiff draw and if I don't draw on it hard it will not flood. maybe we're all just sucking on these things to hard, lighten up and see if they don't work better. these things are not built by rocket scientist and all the juices are different. So each coil and juice combo is going to work differently. Find what works and stick with it. Also keeping all my bbc's at least half full seems to make a big difference, below half full is when the problems start. Just my 3 cents.

try a un-modded evod coil in the protank. it tightened up the draw for me and i get no gurgling or leaking. i use vg based juice. higher pg based juice may have problems becasue the evod coil wicks VERY well in the protank. haha big ole bubbles burping up. hehehe
please post if it works for you. what ratio your juice is etc. i am curious to see if it will work with a higher pg juice.
Update: I got mine to stop gurgling! I pulled up the little cap on top of the wicks so it made better contact with the outer tube and no more juice is leaking in. I think it may have gotten pushed down when I screwed the bottom back on after refilling. It still likes to be airy (restricting the airflow didn't make it happy), but I'm not getting gurgling or a mouthful of juice.
I still don't love it, but the trip to the classies has been suspended.
I just ordered one for 16.99
Before I read this entire thread, now I I wishing that I didnt buy it
I think the vast majority of people with Protanks are happy with them. I think you'll be happy you got one.
I think you're right. The only thing I've done about the airy draw was screw down the Protank as tightly as I could, which generally stops the whistling. I've tried plugging the holes of T3s and eVods with my fingers, though, just to see how effective it would be before trying something permanent. A few draws later, they would both leak. These things are designed to work with the given airflow in mind, so plugging the air channels to fix the airy draw is likely just trading one issue for another.
I'm going to give this a try, too, once I find an eVod head that'll fire on my Protank. The amount of air that the thicker eVod gasket blocks is probably small enough not to make a huge pressure difference and cause the tank to leak.
Aside from a tighter draw, have you noticed any change in flavor by swapping in an eVod head?
So I replaced the head on the protank with the EVOD head. Still whistles still airy plus now it sounds more like a carto lol snap crackle pop. I'll give it some time to break in and let you know what I think. This is a 50/50 juice. I'll try something with higher pg after this tank.

First whistles, now burps! I wonder if it snores at night when everybody is asleep?
No wonder I like this so much before it's even here - we have a lot in common.
here it comes:
i did indeed switch out the head after i burnt the first one out on the first day. i also mentioned cleaning the thing in both my op and several other posts on this thread. i also stated that none of that seemed to help. my battery is fine, you think i didnt test it on other tanks to make sure? the atomizer is NOT the only variable, as the base of the unit controls all the airflow, which could significantly affect the vape. also, no atty should be shot in 2 days, especially not a more high end one. also, as we all stated in this thread, a huge problem is that the upkeep on this thing is making it too inconvenient. if i wanted to clean a device every day and throw a new atomizer into it every 3 days, it would be perfect. alas, i dont want to do any of that, therefore i created this thread to look for solutions.
also, i posted in this thread that i managed to get it working again after a deep clean. you chose to ignore this and insist i never cleaned my tank. when you see a 4 page thread, its best to read through it to make sure the original issue has not been resolved already. i strongly believe it was simply having a bad day (yes inanimate objects can have those).
finally, i created this thread to ask advice from other vapers who had similar problems, not to be treated like i know nothing about vaping. in your entire post, you gave absolutely no advice to either me, darkhood, or any of the others who have had problems with this device. you simply said all of our complaints must be bogus since yours works perfectly. next time you make a post on a thread full of intelligent vapers, assume we went through all of the neccesary troubleshooting before posting on this site. i know i did, and im sure most of the others have as well. you can not criticize our complaints then simply give no advice other than "replace the atomizer."
edit: i mean absolutely no offense, i was just filling in the blanks for you im sure you see plenty of not-so-informed individuals on here and just wish to separate myself from them
