This is almost my exact experience with the PTII. Nothing really tastes OK in it except menthols. Everything else seems to burn up like crazy, even on the first hit. I always prime and drip my heads too.

Personally I prefer the ViVi Nova over the Protank. I just feel like I get a better vape from it.
The strange part is that the T3S and even the MT3S (metal cover not mini) almost never give me a burnt taste. Same ohms, same mod settings and same juice. Plus not one has leaked yet. The condensation in the clear tip just looks kinda funky so i wipe it out with a Qtip or pipe cleaner.
Nearly every fruit or desert flavor ive tried tastes better to me in the T3S also. Those taste muted to me in the PTs. The only one that is somewhat ok is Banana Nut Bread in the Mini PT-II but its not even close to a carto in flavor. Its a very flavorful juice and vapes "ok" in everything ive tried. The PTs just fall short on the slightly subtle "finish" of this flavor and all the other tanks i can still taste it.
I fall in and out of love with mine very often. Sometimes its perfect, other times its a burnt tasting waste of my money. GF likes hers, and has no issues with it at all though...
I got one not to long ago and didn't like it at all. There was no flavor at all. The airiness of the draw wasn't to bad, but nothing tasted good in it.....actually nothing tasted like anything. went right back to top coil Vivi's and iClears
Geeve

I put it down to juice. Different juices perform better than others. Even if they are made with the same base liquid/s. I'm using a juice called "banana nut bread which i use daily and everytime i get a new bottle the colour is always different.
I've had both these for weeks and the colour hasn't changed from steeping either.
If my protank gives me a dry hit i know it's because i didn't suck hard enough. There's nothing casual about the way i vape. Got to hit it hard !.

I have 2 of them. Both of them gurgle when the juice level gets low. In one instance I had a drop of hot juice hit the tip of my tongue. Both of them seem to usually produce a dry, harshish vape for me with any juice I try in them. I get much smoother vapes with a Vivi Nova and the new IGO-S RDA I received this weekend (I love this thing). I am using a Provari mini, so with the Protanks I get what I am assuming was an unintended feature of being able to adjust the air flow depending on how tightly I screw it on. So far I have not tried one that I have recoiled myself, but I just got some wick and wire this weekend, so I will probably give that a go this coming weekend when I can have a good chunk of time.
mine consistently leaks out of the bottom part of the head. my center pin is constantly wet. it's annoying
I have not yet had any problems with mine. I think for the price, it's a great tank. I've had it for about 2 months now. I would like to venture into RBAs.
I just ordered a protank mini 2 hoping this will be better than my ce4s reading here i may of made another noob mistake its all a learning curve this vaping and my misakes are starting to cost fingers crossed it works for me
I'd say its good travelling in pocket as it won't spill juice, if using high nic tobacco type juice it works well enough and has good capacity, but the coil heads themselves are primitive, the design still requires no res legs to function properly, and the coils I've used so far are made to expire fairly quickly, although a buck or so for a new genuine head makes up for it for now.
Tried a friend's ProTank and didn't like it so went back to my Vision Vivi Novas.
I jumped on the protank 2 band wagon and love mine. I also love the mini 2 I just got. I love the flavor I get from pyrex. Hope you like yours too! There are no "mistakes", only learning experiences and preferences
it was a step up and they are fine, but I wouldn't say I'm impressed with them. They definitely aren't perfect but they are better than some.
Add one to the love 'em column.... I've never had a gurgle or a leak...... I'll take them any day over my iclears or my Vivi Nova.....
I'm still rocking my original ProTank. I've had it for nearly 6 months and had no problems yet. I absolutely love it.
I've got 3 in my collection including 1 mini protank 2.
I can't foresee myself moving to anything else.

Maybe not!! I've been using the PT II's for about 10 days now and really like them a lot over the ce4's and the Iclear 16's. To each his own said the lady as she kissed the cow. I hope it's your kinda cow!!
I do like them more that the iClear16s. The i16s taste burnt to me too with the i16 coil. It was much better with the i30 coil except it was like trying to suck ice cream through a straw. Milkshake tight if fine but the two i tried were crazy tight draws. I gave them away and then modded my i30 coils by opening up the hole in the white cap over the wicks. Draw is still stiff but it seems to be an improvement.
Personally for a cheap tank i strongly prefer the T3S over either PT or iClears without tinkering. The only thing i check on the T3S is the vent holes. Occasionally the machining is not consistent and a hole/s is too small. Ive got a small drill bit set with a hex heads. It takes only a few seconds to clean up the holes by hand. I use the same type of bits to open up the white wick cone in the iClear30.
Ive got some of the original Evod shorter coils to use in my PTs and they do help with the airy draw but i still cant fix the burnt taste to fit my vaping style. I don't vape menthol nearly as fast so they work ok for me with that flavor.
