Changing a coil problem...

[jjordan]

I received extra dual coils with the Protank 2s, 3 and Aero tanks I bough here in the classifieds, The problem that I am having is getting the coil to fully seat itself in the Protank 3 it is sticking up quite a bit but if I don't change it I won't know if it is my ProVari or the coil in the Protank 3 that is causing the burnt liquid taste in the tank. I have tried other tanks on my ProVari and noticed a burnt flavor (My LED isn't working on the ProVari which I also got in the classifieds so I have no clue what the setting is on the ProVari.) I have tried that tank on other batteries and still get the burnt flavor taste so it has to be the Protank 3 causing the problem, but I don't know how to get it to seat itself in the groove in the Protank 3 because it sticks up quite a ways unless I need to go out and buy other coils for the Protank 3. Sorry if this was hard to understand, I have never had tanks before where the coils were able to be changed...so this is a first for me! I did my best to try to describe the problem. If I confuzzled any of you I apologize in advance. I am confuzzled just after writing this lol. Any and all help I can get would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys and gals in advance!

Ok First off the coil should stick up above the base when fully seated. The bottom of the coil head only sits about the width of the wick below the top of the base and on the aero one wick is fully exposed above the base. Second the burnt taste is probably from either not priming the wicks or more than likely too high of a setting on your provari. Getting burnt taste after you go to another battery is common if your switching right away because the burnt taste will stick around a hit or two after the initial burnt hit.

the coil should screw into the base and make a seal with the bottom silicone washer
if the coil is the proper type the entire assembled coil and base should screw into the tank
if you have a pro tank 3, the shaft is very short and coils for other pro tanks (long shaft) wont work

Check out some youtube videos on the coils.

I use them all the time to get a better understanding of this vape gear.

Thanks for the help everyone! I didn't know you had to prime the coils first off..and the illustration helped a lot and off to youtube I go to learn about changing coils on my new tanks lol I can't wait til my ProVari gets fixed I am sending it in tomorrow! I should have it back in 3-5 days after they receive it! YAY!
