Kanger protank II

[choochoogranny]

Got the "extension rings" from KidneyPuncher.....BDC to Protank Adapter Grommets. They still sell them.

My PT2 was the 1st tank I had with replaceable heads and the worst tank I ever bought. I HATED it! Lol! My Aspire K1 was WAYYYYY better. But some folks do still love them . That's the great thing about vaping though... a thousand options and something for everyone.

 

[choochoogranny]

Hans Wermhat, you are exactly right! Options, choices are good things to have.

So are you saying that these coils will fit my pt2 afc base and tank?

Sorry, I didn't quote you in the previous post. Need more coffee!

Yes, provided you get the extension/adapter that Hans Wermhat was so kind to link to.

Thank you, Hans.

My wife and I vaped protanks for almost 2 years. With a airflow adapter and rebuilding coils it was a great unit for our needs, even though a bit small in ml size it did us well. Since I didn't use stock coils we had NO issues with it leaking but had a old PT1 glass unglue from the base and the airflow adapters also separated, sending the springs into oblivion then lost. Those protanks set the stage for my rebuilding skills I am going to use till I quit vaping.

You guys are awesome!
I have learned so much from Choochoo about my coils compatibility!
I even bought a subtank mini for these and the future.
This is what the ECF is all about!

@choochoogranny, just wrapped a 28g, 7 wrap, 1/16" coil for a pt2 head. Rings out about 0.8-ish ohms

Wicked with my normal cotton ball that I use for these heads. First impressions, I think the flavor is more pronounced.

I've run from 10-13W. I think it's kinda nice. It's a contact coil.

I'll try a few more this weekend and keep you updated!

 

[choochoogranny]

Motordude, most of what I know was gotten here on ECF provided by generous people and just passing it along. What I learned about the Subtank mini using the Aspire "Replacement" BVC and the Protank2 coils came from Dinger and Taxguydave.

 

[choochoogranny]

Touchdown! Dinger, that's grand. Try some more! Try some more! Ha! Oh, the ramp up time is suppose to take longer. Could you detect a difference?

No noticeable ramp-up difference.....

I was contemplating 30g, but I don't think I will go there. My kanthal is 30g, and I normally wrap 7-8 wraps and lands me about 1.5 ohms. I'm hoping I can find maybe one kind of wire I like and not have 10 different spools

 

[DingerCPA]

This is SS316L, for clarification....

 

[choochoogranny]

Yeppers, same Kanthal and wraps here. Do you think 30 g. SS with same wraps get you to approx. 1.5 ohms?

Missed a couple of earlier posts... I love using the PT2 AFC bases with the mini PT2 and even a couple of EVOD tanks!

 

[mauricem00]

I have 2 protank II with AFC and use these to rebuild the coils $2.42 Pre-made Wires and Wicks for Atomizer (50-Pack) 50-pack - 33 AWG / 1.8ohm / 8-wick at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping doesn't need a flavor wick with these and never had a problem with leaks or dry hits.coils last about 8 tanks before I rebuild them. use them with a mech mod or at 7 watts on a regulated mod.

 

[herb]

That was the first tank I got and I still use them. You can't use them over about 12W which I think means any mod out there will work. If you want something cheap and simple get a Spinner. It's worth learning how to rebuild the coils yourself. Lots of YouTube videos on how to do that. Replacement coils are expensive and not very good.

You can rebuild the coils to handle a little more wattage but i think even 12 watts is to high after thinking about it .

From what i remember 8 to 10 watts is ideal with standard coils not 10 to 12 watts.

Dinger et al, try wicking with Rayon.

Not sure of the non AC PT but if they have vent holes like the Evods, trying drilling one of the holes out
with your 1/16" bit. That makes a Perfect draw on the Evod.

I call it Turboing an Evod, you will be Shocked at the vape with the better flow and better wicking/flavor from the Rayon.

Rayon is all I wick with now and noticed the difference from the organic cotton right away. Thank you, OcalaFlGuy.
