Help with Protank 3

[chanelvaps]

Help!
I have a Protank 3, the first Protank I have owned. No experience with them at all. I have only been vaping for about 4 months and aside from a dripper I only own Kanger t2's.
The first time the PT was filled it worked great. I have Fifteen Foot Falls from Aiv in it. Hit it a couple times a day daily for about a month and got great hits. lots of flavor, tons of clouds.
Yesterday I changed the coils and re-filled the juice and now I can not really get a hit. No matter how low or high I have it I get a lot of flavor (almost like unheated juice is coming into my mouth) but no vapor.

No vapour? Or low vapour?

Sounds like a flooding problem to me - are you experiencing any gurgling noises?

Is it making a sizzling noise at all?

no there is no gurgling noise

It is making a sizzling noise but not nearly as much as before. No popping noise either and there was that ever present pop when you first hit the fire button before

A lot of juice taste on the lips also

I'm guessing it's flooded. Remove the tank from the battery - are there dew drops (or worse/more) on the connection? That'd be a sign of flooding.

If it is flooded, one of the best methods is to hold your drip-tip to your mouth, but turn the tank upside down - so you are essentially holding the side that makes contact to the battery in the air, vertically - and give it a good blow-out.

If that hasn't worked, you can take it apart and wipe down the inner tube and the atomiser chimney, etc.

Hope this helps

Ok tried that and there is not really any fluid in the device. The sizzle is off and on and not really strong

Do you have any more heads/coils? Maybe you got a bad head. You can try another to see if it works. If this one is good it won't be wasted, just rinse it off and you can use it later if it's not a lemon.

Oh, and did you check to see if there was liquid on the part of the battery where the protank screws in?

A few other questions. Your atomizer heads are the short stemmed ones or the long stemmed ones? Like has been said, you probably have a bit of flooding from the description you gave. Also, what resistance are the heads you're using and what voltage/ wattage are you firing them at? Lastly, try switching heads. Kanger has been having odd QC issues lately so it may just be a bad head.

Dry hit it and adjust the airflow. The thing about most Kanger tanks is you need to adjust the airflow properly to get the best hit. Too strong and not enough vapor will come out. Not enough and nothing will come out.

I have no idea how to do any of that

Back off the beauty ring a bit for more flow, how you pull the hit through the drip tip, back the pt off its threading to allow more air through the center post, tighten for less, etc.

Check the resistance- I wonder if you are firing only one coil, and getting half the wattage you were getting on your previous head

Yeah just adjust the tank to the battery a little bit tighter or looser while firing it until you get the best hit. Then leave it there. It's ok if it wabbles a little bit aslong as the airflow passes through and gets a good cloud of vapor.

Resistance reads 2.0

That actually worked. I had it tight and the beauty ring up all the way.
THANKS

WALLA lol. Most Kanger tanks have airflow problems. Just adjust them and you should be fine.

No worries.
