Kanger Protank

[VapRLady]

Nice, well I may look at the videos then. The only thing that scares me is the pro tank heads are longer. They have to be longer for a reason I would think. I just really want more resistance and I've seen evod heads at 2.8 ohms.

If you use the eVod atty, swap the longer atty top from the Protank, they are the same size where they fit into the collar.

i just swapped the eVod atty into mine last week and it works fine. my orginal one leaked. the eVod does not and has a better draw, for me.

 

[obsidianchao]

Just ordered mine, but hoping it doesn't leak too much. Is it just to the top of the battery, or does it seep out the sides?

 

[FACE MEAT]

Kanger's first run of Protanks had some leaking ussues where the glass meets the metal. They've since correected the issue.

All clearomizers will leave some juice behind at the battery connection, it's just the nature of the beast. For whatever reason, my Protanks leave behind less moisture at the battery connection than others I've owned.

I'm pretty sure you'll love yours.

My Vivi Novas have never left a drop on the battery connection. But Kanger T3 and Protank has. So I think it's mosty an issue with bottom coils - just the way they work. But I do agree, that the Protank keeps it very tidy

Vaping at 4.2v on my Vision Spinner

thanks for the link to vapin in the cape, never been to that one but will be going by in the morning to pick one up

 

[Buckshot]

Just ordered one today, $17.50 shipped and it went out the same day.

I thought I would update here. My pro tank does not leak anywhere. It is the latest Protank. Not purchased from a vendor. Anyway, I don't have any problems with the pro tank coils. I am enjoying it the way it is. Eventually, I will try a evod coil...but I am a simple vapor-er. If it works I don't usually mess with it.

love love love my protank, So much that i have 2 more on the way so i can rotate them. can't wait to get them in

Not the best vid but Mathew O did a walk thru.....

Kanger ProTank- A quick fix using the eVod - YouTube

 

[KerryK]

But the point VapRLady was makin was the evod heads are 2.8ohm, so if ya wanna bit more heat, der ya be!

 

[Toyo]

Great tank been using it for likeca week now. Airy draw but still gets alot of vapor.

My husband and I ended up with six Protanks between us since we ordered from Kangertech, (took a month), then we ordered from sun-vapers, (which does have them is stock as of today), and liked them so much we ordered another set long before our Kangertech order finally arrived yesterday. We have almost a month of solid vaping on them.

We ordered them because we like the eVod because of it's ease of use, lack of leaking and solid performance. We have left all other delivery systems behind, (other than my husbands love of the MT3 which he hoards for himself and a eCab tank tip or two).

We found the Protanks airy at first, but once you get used to it they give loads of vapor for a light draw. We found closing off air holes makes them start to gurgle with time, if we want a stiffer hit we just close off a hole or two with our finger when drawing.

We tried using the eVod atomizers and went back to the Protank stock atty's it's nice to have the option if you like it stiffer but we found they tend to flood more with the eVod atty's.

We also ordered Kanger eVod batteries which are 3.7volts and really like them with the Protank, they seal tighter to the kanger batteries and they then give a tighter draw, (via the extender collar). The Kanger batteries also outlast the eGo Twist and VV eGo batteries by more than half a day and seem to run hotter until they start flashing.

We plan on rebuilding our atty's at some point but are for now doing periodic burns and soakings to keep them going, the low price of atty's for both are keeping us buying for now. They seem to last about two to three weeks depending on juice. One Protank atty we have has lasted a month!

We clean the atty's by rinsing with very hot water every two fills or so and letting air dry a bit, if that fails we pull the flavor wicks, do a good dry burn, rinse the wicks, put it back together then we soak in just boiling water until cool and air dry for a day. This seems to get them up and running for a week or two more if the Vaping Gods smile on our endeavors.

We played around with wicking, the atty has one wick inside the coil and two thinner flavor wicks, we removed some, added some and generally fooled around with them according to juice, in the end we just stuck to the original setup, it works best on all juices this way for us.

We really like the look, feel, balance and vapor of the Protank and are glad we bought them.

Nice feedback there! Thanks for taking the time to share your insights...

But what's with those black and white pics?

 

[The Ocelot]

I feel kind of guilty, I'm not that nice to mine. I just keep filling it up and don't clean it or anything. I too have discovered that the Protank doesn't like its air restricted and I still have problems in the morning - it's cold in my house and takes quite awhile for the thick glass and metal of the Protank to get warm enough to work properly. When it's cold, it gurgles and leaks; once it warms up, it works fine. Mine also starts to taste burnt over around 6.5w. I still think my carto tanks taste better (I have my favorite juice in both the Pro and a carto tank), but I like how the Pro looks on my mod.

Despite my lack of maintenance, I've chain-vaped the Pro since I got it on 3/20 and I'm still using the same head.

Would you just rebuild using my method with 1mm natural already! Steady 8w with more vapor production on top of slightly tighter draw. With thinner juices I've snuck up to 10w. I was stuck at the same watts with the stock heads. Now I just immediately rebuild the heads.

[EddieAdams]

Has anyone seen any 2.8 oHm replacement heads for the Protank yet?

Why not make your own?

Just add a wrap.. making 7

You're so welcome! Lucky you!!!

I'm thinking of getting some more, wish I could go to the store like you LOL! Ordered on a Monday, first class mail, arrived on Thursday, not bad at all I think, let me know how you like the store, customer service, etc...!!

I don't get a burnt taste till I hit around 13 watts. But 1/10 of a watt makes a difference.
