    Kanger protank rebuild

    With 32ga, I do roughly 10ish wraps around a needle as close as possible and get 3ish ohms. I've heard 30ga is pretty good and want to get some. People using 28-30 are usually wanting lower ohms though. See how many wraps will fit in the head, you might be able to get 10 or so in there if you...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    Silicone for sure. I learned something new today, vinegar is deluded acetic acid. I'm sure taking a few whiffs of vinegar is more acetic acid than what could outgas from a small o-ring over a few years. It looks like we should definately stay away from any fluoroelastomers/fluorosilicone for...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    THIS gave me some good terms to search for. THIS just looks interesting, don't know about the off-gassing. Quartz filled epoxy... I have a feeling 'low out-gassing' is the only thing we're going to find in a compressible material that we heat up (edit: ehh, I just read "since no polymer is...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    Sounds smart to me. The black neoprene will off-gas. I think even the 'aquarium safe' 100% silicone from DAP could/will off-gas acetic acid. Haven't done a ton a research on it, but I know I don't want to inhale any toxic fumes, even in tiny amounts. Well, I mean any additional toxic fumes...I...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    Well speaking of "anything is worth trying" and 'more people experimenting' with you....what tools do you have?! I think I read you have a 3D printer and some other fun stuff? Lathe at the least, I'm assuming. Being able to knock out a project in a few hours after work is seriously impressive...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    Expanding on your coil resting on a chamfered pos post, what do you think about this? I have no doubt you guys could refine it, but it seems like it might work? Point would be to make the neg post obsolete, smaller diameter base, secure neg connection, etc. O-ring where it threads but not where...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    I agree with 2-3 second draws being ideal. Better TH with mouth to lungs as well. I've been trying to make that work with the PT-2. Making the draw tighter means slower drags and more juice in the wick, but I end up flooding it. I think increasing the voltage would help that and it wouldn't burn...

    If the body can ground negative, I'm assuming a SS drip tip or drip tip connector could as well? Hypothetically...

    Will the real protank 2 mini plz stand up...!?

    Are companies stupid or what? Do they not see the growing trend of people wanting honesty and transparency over lies? We aren't stupid, and for Kanger to say it was a 'design change' is insulting. If they came out and said 'we needed to use these excess mini v1 parts', I would forgive. If they...

    My protank experience improved with 510 extension

    I like how you think Necrosis. I'll post a few ideas you gave me later today. Maybe we can bounce some ideas around and figure this out. I've been having flooding issues as well. Such a fine line with cotton. It's worth figuring out though for sure. Talk to ya soon.

    Cotton flooding?

    Cotton ball is my absolute favorite wick. There is such a fine line that has to be mastered though. What PG/VG ratio are you using?

    "The Russian" 91% (Kayfun Lite Clone With A Twist)

    Yeah it's funny how on Alibaba manufacturers put "Supply Ability" as 100,000,000,000/day, and then take forever making thousands.

    Kanger Mini Protank 2 CONFUSION...

    ugh...is this for real?! I was about to buy a lot of these. Stupid stupid business move. Using their excess mini v.1 caps is exactly what they're doing. Saying otherwise is them calling us dumb asses. They should have sold what people were expecting. They could've used the spare tops with an...

    Kanger protank rebuild

    Protank 1? When you say new head gives the same taste, do you mean a new factory head? Assuming that's the case, I would strongly suggest: *Dump the juice if you can afford it *Rinse out the tank real quick *Look right under the threads on the inside of the tank. *You should see the clear...

    Kanger protank rebuild

    Yeah but the best thing is you don't have to re-coil or any nonsense like that. Just a quick pull it out and throw a new one in there. If you used unflavored juice it would last even longer. It's just that some of the flavoring gets trapped and "gunks" up the wick. It really acts like a filter...

    Kanger protank rebuild

    Dark juice a few days, light/clear juice a good week. Some change it every day for best flavor. I think I'll do that when I get some good yarn. Won't even be a 30 second hassle.

    Kanger protank rebuild

    Oh yeah I've also been wanting to get something a bit more uniform. I love cotton balls, but it would help to have something 100% consistent. I'm thinking Peaches & Creme white yarn from walmart, but need to search a bit more on what's best. This place is information-overload central. Which is...

    Kanger protank rebuild

    Keep the airflow/suction in mind too. On the Protank v1, I found that I liked the airy draw but needed to block at least one of the air slots to keep it from burning cotton. If it's airy, no super-slow drags. If it's a PT-2 or modified PT-1 with a tighter draw, slower draw is ok. The suction (or...

    Kanger protank rebuild

    Yup yup. I just do a couple quick bursts. Don't wanna burn that gromment. Right after the coils glow I let off, and do that a few times.

    Gdeal: Oooh yeah! I never even thought of that aspect before. Definately not a fluid dynamics major haha. One thing I did learn from first hand experience: I took the base of the PT-1 and used it as a juice reservoir for the head. Turning it into a quick and dirty RDA. Found out really quick...
