Hi - Kanger Protank II coils

I wrap my own coils and wick with cotton...so much better than the stock coils with silica. I aim for 1,8-2.0 ohm coils. I know the replacement coils are not that expensive, but the homemade ones are cheaper than dirt.
I'm new and just started rebuilding my coils.... Too me the cotton provides way better flavor. I don't know why, but the difference is night and day.
I rebuild my on coils. 30 gage kanthal with 6 raps with organic cotton. Much better flavor than the pre-made ones. If you going to rebuild, please buy a ohm meter first. If you're not interested in rebuilding, you can get a 5 pack of Kanger single coils (fit the Protank II) for 5.99 from Discount Vapes and 101Vapes.
Waiting for my Pro Tank 2 myself. Good advice on where to buy those Kanger coils. This will have to do til i learn more. Someday I would like to build my own coils and use cotton to wick.
I also rebuild them into single coils with a rayon wick, much better than stock.
Thanks, I've so far been using the stock 2.2 Ohm coils & found them to be okay. ...ish.
If I want to start re-building these (I glanced at some online 'how-to' vids)
Where are the best places to buy the raw materials for the wicks & wires?
I rebuild mine but here's a link to a good deal on them.

$ .72 a coil is a pretty good deal. Break them down and wash them real good once they are spent. By the time you finish going through those you should be ready to rebuild
Thanks txtard, that looks great, but I'm in the UK - but the shipping/taxes from USA may make those deals less attractive!
I can get Kanger coils at around £1.50 each here online, but am still interested in seeing if I can re-build, if it's cost-effective.

Love my Protank 2, even more than my 3, cheaper coils. I also saved all mine untill I was ready to try rebuilding. I like mine around 1.5 ohm, but it depends on what battery your using if its a variable volt or just a set voltage ego. If it is a regular ego I would go with 1.8 ohm. if you have a v.v try it at the lowest and work you way up untill it right for you if you go to far it will start to taste burnt. also if later you want to rebuild them, its easy and I also think it's better than the stock silica. I tried the prewrapped coils from fasttech 50 for like 3 bucks and use sterile cottenballs for the wicks. although if you decide to make your own just make sure you know how to test with a ohm reader or tester.
I have recently upgraded from a stock Evo stick to a Innokin MVP2 vv/vw & am firing on 3.5v / 7.0w. I've been wholly vaping for around 11 months after 30+ years of 'real' cigs - maybe my taste is returning. I think it's the 'silica'? material that tastes 'burnt' after a while (a week or so), rather than the coil 'burning-out' - can I rinse this out & re-vape, or is the whole unit designed to be disposable/replaceable?

I get my wire from here. (I use 30ga for my PT2's)
Resistance Wire
For the wick, I use cotton cooking twine that I buy at BBY. You can get silica wick at many online vendors, including E-bay.
I would just rebuild them, I bought a 50 ft roll of 30 gauge Kanthal A1 wire and 15 ft of cellucotton(rayon) off of ebay for about $10 then bought a few 5 packs of Kanger brand coil heads. I use the heads until they are burnt out, taste bad like you stated then rebuild them. Your MVP has a built in ohm meter but its not a bad idea to also check them with a multimeter.
