Randomly off topic question, but are you only using Pro tanks currently? I only ask because if you are rebuilding pro tank heads you'd have an easy time setting up a genny, kayfun, or something else with loads and loads more flavor.

Everyone has been saying this! I'll get there eventually but I have a lot of PTs and a lot of PT heads and I prefer my ADV in a Protank with a 1.4-1.2 ohm nanno head at 3.8 
I won't do anything with mesh though...makes me cross eyed!!
I need to learn to make my own could but I just clean and dry burn the pro tanks. I am currently resuming my love affair with zombie apocalypse.

I am currently living about 10 minutes away from Arvada, so if you ever do decide to take the plunge, I am more than willing to meet you at a shop and mentor you in the ways of rebuildables. In fact I'll be at the Steam Spot for a good portion of the day tomorrow, hiding from my future inlaws, who have been with us since xmas eve and are staying for another week! You'll be able to tell who I am, I'll be the 30 year old guy without any tattoos and not wearing skinny jeans.
Yes you can....I have protank coils over 4 months old...I hot water rinse 3 x and then vodka soak over night. the next morning I remove from the vodka let dry and dry burn them and replace flavor wick with cotton....I also change my protank coils every night however...I am a bit strange.
My eyes are old and even with a lighted magnifier it is difficult for me to recoil...I tend to save the eye strain for my nimbus and rsst clones (when I can't get someone at my B&M to do them for me
)
Good Morning Vapeland and HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I hope today finds you all content and happy!! Be well my friends!
So sorry Dear Morri that you're having computer problems
I too would send you a couple of MT Fairies...but for some reason...mine tend to be on the mean side..(tic..
). Instead, I'll send you wishes for a new computer so you won't have to worry about it anymore. Can we get ONE MORE WISH for Morri...as 3 will make it so.....Brightest of blessings Dear lady!!
Morning Paleo, morning all!!
I would love to! Unfortunately my MS makes it dangerous to go far from home, like more than a mile with my vertigo. Take valium to curb the vertigo then drive? Not so much! LOL Thank you for the offer though! I know I'll have no troubles with an RBA once I get to it. Like you said, I can do PT heads! (Did 25 last night because I was bored so if they had been used at all or were newly bought I redo them when my eyes are good. )
So you are living here? A friend is opening his store, Elements, in a week or so and that will be at 52nd and Wadsworth so you can have another great shop to hang at. Todd is awesome and he wants his store to be more like a lounge than a store. Not sure if he was able to make it happen the way he wanted. I'll see when it's open!
Again, thank you!

Wow! Thank you for sharing your experience. I have one Kanger Pro-tank and it is the newest, the Kanger 3. I am confused about it because I keep getting told it is a dual coil and to me this means two coils at 2.0 OHMS-so am I using 4.0 resistance? I thought about using my Protank for this. Heard it eats up juice but cannot be any worse than you accurate description of all the wasted juice caught up in 2-3 coil changes a day. I hope you get back to me regarding your thoughts on the Protank 3. If this is not an acceptable option I will save this lovely juice and buy a Protank 2.I think bottom coils are your best bet, the top coils with long wicks suck up a lot of juice......I'm assuming that the Kanger t2 is a top coil clearomizer? I use the Kanger Pro Tank 2's (bottom coil) with cotton wicks, going to be building my coils with cotton as soon as my wire comes in. I haven't had an issue with the coils gunking up. Does that help or do I need more info?
Ok, checked out the T2. I haven't had good luck with any of those types of clearos. I waste a lot of juice in the wicks, the ejuice seems to go thicker as the juice level goes down, and the plastic seems to make some of the juice off flavored. Sure, you get tons of vapor, but I just wanted to cry seeing some of my best juice rinsing out of those wicks...ok......over reacting.......majorly bummed.
Try your Kanger Pro Tanks (minis, original, 2) or the Davides. Glass tanks, most totally dis-assemble for cleaning, and you can buy the replacement coils, glass, base, etc, separate if you something happens to them.
So sorry Dear Morri that you're having computer problems
Wishing our dearest Lovely Lady of the Light had a new computer so she would never have to worry about being able to come visit with us! And so now there are three, so shall it be!
I don't think the PT3 would be bad, as you said much better than the wicks in the top coil! I use 1s and 2s because the head is easier to rebuild and they fit PTs and evods...PT3s only fit PT3s.
Based on what you said regarding cleaning I am wondering if that is my problem. I do not clean my wicks/coils that extensively. I just rinse rinse rinse under hot water. Also based on what you and Nini say I am going to donate my Kanger protank 3 to my 15ff and that will be that. One day I will get a protank 2. Can I pull the wicks out of the Protank 3 and replace with cotton?
I got 2 regular Pro Tanks first...a real PITA to clean, so when the PT 2's came out, I bought ONE..............then I bought 2 more, then 3......and now I'm waiting for an order of 4 more. I checked out the PT3 and that dual coil scared me off, I just want it as simple as possible and good to go. They've all been Kanger Tech, some people say the clones are just as good, but I'm not going to drop something that's working for me all ready, and it's been a long, almost a full year, vaping for me with all the newbie "hit or miss" on gear.
You know how you might start vaping with a disposable? And then you get an eGo, a twist, your regular stick type batteries? And the vape, hit, flavor, is pretty dang good (watching the "censor", LOL!) But then you want more. So we get the eVic, SiD, MVP, etc., etc., and the problem is, the current on those mods are not constant, they pulse, unless you go high on the VV or VW. Those stick batteries (cig-a-likes, eGo, etc) have a constant pulse, not the old "rattlesnake" pulse. I finally succumbed to ProVari...constant power......and it was EXACTLY what I was looking for. If you can at all swing it, save for one, whether a mini or a full size, the quality, craftsmanship, is impeccable, the warranty is awesome, and it's not something that immediately draws anyone's attention...........enough about that.
I don't have the time or patience for dripping........but, who knows, maybe in the future?
Kanger Pro Tank 2's, things that may occur, troubleshooting, etc.
1. The heads on your tank and replacement heads may have some manufacturing issues, sometimes it just happens. The ohms may not be as described or the coil was wrapped wrong and it's a dud. That's where rebuilding is the way to go and switch both your wicks and coil insert with cotton. The taste of the original coil and wick materials DO show up in your vape, slight, but it is there. GO COTTON!
2. Watch out for your gaskets when cleaning or taking the PT2 apart. Some will flip off like a rubber band, never to be seen again! You won't even realize it til you put it back together and the dreaded leaks start. I've gotten 2 extra gaskets with every PT2 I've bought, make sure you hold on to them.
3. Gurgling and juice sucking......there seems to be an issue with some of the heads where the head "chimney" doesn't fit up snugly into the stack, and the "cup" gasket on the chimney doesn't fully seal between the two. First fix is remove the upside down "cup" gasket and replace right side up. That usually works. If the gurgling and mouth full of juice continues, double cup that puppy!
When you double cup, be careful when taking the base off when you want to refill it. The fit is so snug that sometimes the head will stay put when you unscrew the base, not a problem, with the base off, just pull out the head......just putting this in there in case it happens and it freaks you out! LOL!
4. The base, heads, and glass cylinders can all be bought separately. Vape Dojo seems to always have them in stock so that's my go to place. Most big vendors are out...not good!
5. Put a few drops on any new heads before you screw it into the tank. Give it a few minutes, you want those wicks saturated before you hit the button, or you'll be tasting burnt wick and coil. Do a couple of vapes off it WITHOUT any power, pull that juice into your coil and wicks.
6. Save all your used heads. When you ready to re-coil, and change your wicks, there's some good Youtube video and step by step instruction here on ECF. And there's us peeps here on this thread!
I hope the mods keep this here because sometimes it's just easier to stay on one thread and not have to jump all over the place!
Megan! I hope I can indulge your wisdom on building the PT2 coils when I get my wire! I've been using 2.2 ohms and I'd like to build 1.4, 1.2 ohm coils......
Yesterday and today is 15 Foot Falls..........Any of you who are getting first time orders for the bottles, not the sample size, would be best advised to age (I just can't get my head around "steeped"!) your AiV. 24 hours with the cap off, then a daily shake for at least a week with the cap on. The size of the bottle may have something to do with it, haven't really taken a good look at that option, but steeping enhances the flavor even more. I've had bottles that I thought were "WHAT?", after trying the samples, but left on a shelf for a week or more and they were golden! I would have totally blown off Zombie Apocalypse if I hadn't been patient.
We need some serious input on the best devices for vaping AiV, besides dripping! LOL! Some of us can't do that when we're out dealing with critters and such!
PS: Do you dry burn your coils when you clean them?

MAJOR consideration when I was checking out the PT3!
PT2 and PT3: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/new-members-forum/505861-there-big-difference-kanger-protank-2-3-a.html
Put "Kanger Pro Tank 3" in the search bar on this forum and you'll find a lot of threads

Absolutely Nini! I have remade over a hundred at this point. 29 gage Kanthal wire wrapped around a 1/8th inch nail or such 10 times tight gives you around a 1.4 ohm nanno.
And a handy tip given to me when I started this is to get some straight (not curved) toenail clippers to cut off the extra wire to keep from getting shorts when it's all reassembled.

Today seems like the perfect day for a little toasty cuddly White Rabbit. It's a crisp 10 degrees F and snowy here in western NY. Winter has been kicking our .... lately, but White Rabbit and a cup of Tim Horton's is keeping me happy until my next box comes in.
Hope it's warmer where you all are <3

Thanks Megan! I have 30 awg kanthal coming, so I don't know how many wraps!!!!
I found one thread on ECF and a member made a diamond coil for his Protank, like holy 
!!!!! I don't think my eyes could handle it! Have to dig out the old man's fly fishing gear, tools, magnifiers..... ROFL!Here's a GOOD thread for PT2's: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/tips-tricks/463771-protank-cotton-rebuild-way-i-do.html
As far as the cotton, I use the sterile cotton used for bandaging livestock injuries, boil it, dry, and good to go. If you have cotton Natural, sterile, medical, etc.) on hand, why bother going out and buying more?
