Does the Protank ever suffer from dry hits, flooding, leaks etc?

[paulw2014]

I have a friend who has a Protank and he says it never produces dry hits, even at 5.5 V, and never leaks, flood, is very consistent. I'm kinda skeptical that one can chain vape at 5.5V and not produce dry hits.

Is it really that good? What is your experience?

I like my PT2, but it is not immune to gurgling or dry hits.

If your juice is thin, keep all flavor wicks. If it is thick, remove some of them.

It took me some fiddling to get to know my PT2, but it's not bad IMO.

Not for me. I have four of them and no leakage, no dry hits, no flooding. But, I sit at 3.5v with a 2.2 resistor.

Edit: Protank 2

is it a Protank2 or 3?
Some people (like me) have few if any problems, others nothing but problems. I DIY a 70/30 PG/VG and have had no problems, on my 50/50 PG/Vg I sometimes get a dry hit.
bottom line, thinner juices just seem to do a better job of wick feeding

5.5v on a protank sounds strange.

Any protank that I have uses 1.5 - 2.5 ohms.. seems like 5.5v would be scorching hot?

Never is a long time...

I have, among other toppers, a couple PT1, PT2, mini, and so on. Sometimes the coil/head will come slightly loose (can unscrew a tad when opening to fill), and they can leak then.

Flavor wicks were mentioned. Too much for the mix, and you may get a dry hit. Too little and you may leak. Too much and you may overdraw and flood.

But once you learn the care and feeding of them, they're are pretty darn reliable. (I think that's true of all our toppers. I happen to prefer bottom coils.)
