Fixed ProTank tight draw issue

[justonian]

So was trying to reply to other peoples issues. After literally 2 hours, I fixed issue with protank being extremely tight draw. Think of trying to drink a milk shake through a coffee straw tight. Was using a Kamry K100+ mod, but see others have had same issue on other mods. So, here's the thing. The connector on the coil that touches the battery has a section that should be cut out. Turns out, mine was almost flat. Here is a side by side picture of a good one vs a bad one. Good one has green arrow, bad one has red arrow. Sorry my phone doesn't take best pictures, but the good one is probably twice as deep, and gives a more airy draw. Red arrow one is impossible to draw through when tightened, and hard to draw through when loose (not to mention, feels so lose it's about to fall off)



Hope this helps others.

Hi,
yea the flat/shallow groove one is how the Kanger EVOD is set up
along with a small diameter chimney stem

on the other hand
the Kanger ProTank uses a deeper groove with tapered edges and a large diameter chimney stem

I recommend to people that don't like to 'airy' draw of the protank to install a coil assembly
from an evod to tighten it up some

but the evod style coils (short) are going away (no longer produced)

What? Why? No more EVOD coils??? I love my evods.

Kanger decided to stop making TWO similar versions and combined them into one now
since they both cross fit

looks like they will be going will the big air drawing ProTank coil and dropping the smaller evod coil
so if you can find any left better buy 'em up...

I tried spacers airflow regulators and a few other tricks and nothing worked. It started after my original base snapped the threads off it after dropping it. The new base had a tight terrible draw. I finally got fed up and found some tiny drill bits and bored out the 3 holes around the battery threads out a bit bigger. I used 3/64s drill bits but it's a little to open now but I'm happy with it... If anyone else tries it I'd suggest using 1/32s drills instead one hole at a time till you get your desired draw
