Frustrated with leaking Protank 2

[sawtoothscream]

i have a protank 1 and evod. protank always sucks no matter how its built and leaks. I have tried regular coils and micro with cotton of all sizes and tried wrapping yarn. no matter what it will leak toward the end of the tank.

the evod works great.

idk, done with to protank though, hate them

I had lots of issues, and still do with the PT2, but the mini has been solid.

I've got 9 Mini 2's in circulation right now with one wick removed using 50/50. Zero leaks. One of them looked like it might eventually dribble and it was the only one less than a 1/3 full.

Protanks need a vacuum in the tank to keep from leaking. Running it too hot - chain vaping - can heat it up and increase the pressure inside the tank. Any o-ring not sealing will cause no vacuum in the tank, then gravity takes over. Knockoffs leak, especially knockoff heads, and there's a lot out there. Make sure its a genuine Kanger. When not in use store upside down. They recommend keeping it over 1/3 full, but I vape my PT's down to practically dry at times and they have never leaked. Maybe I'm just lucky.

@CalamityJess thanks for the tip and the link. I bought one of the air control valves and now it works great! Thanks to everyone else with tips too, I used several of them. You saved a pt2 from the bin
