Hi, New Vapor and need help with Kanger protank II issue

[Travis17]

Hi everyone I am new to Vapeing (been 20 days as of today) and I have occurred an issue. I have an Ego-T Upgrade with a Kanger Protank-II. I love this tank and am so happy with it, besides size issue. But anyways The coils it came with were 2.2 resistance and I had just ordered 1.8 resistance replacement coils. Only problem is for some reason I am getting ABSOLUTLY no air flow with my new coils tried a couple and all in same result. I can however get a slight but very nasty hit if I leave it unscrewed most the way. Im pretty upset I did reaserch this and found 1 thread about it so I did order a new base but im still curious as to why this is happening he didn't exacly answer it because I Put my old coil that came with the tank back in and it works fine. Some feedback would be great Thanks!

Sounds like the new replacements aren't fitting correctly or are just bad. Contact the vendor you got them from. They should be able to help sort it out.

There is an issue with some of the early models of Protank 2s that have faulty bases. The airholes are drilled in the wrong location. You could buy a replacement base.

 

[Travis17]

Yeah the 1.8 seems just a hair bigger than the 2.2 only thing I can come up with as to why no air flow

If you are wanting to get a little experimental, you could, very carefully try swapping the old bottom pin in place of the new one. Be careful though, the pin just pulls out, don't remove the white rubber piece, you should see one wire, don't fiddle with that wire unless it shifts, then carefully seat the old pin into the new head, making sure to wedge that wire between the pin and the rubber where it sits, that is your positive wire and needs contact with that pin at all times. Don't throw that old head away either, once you get the new head up and running, any old heads are good for spare parts, plus later on you can use the old head to learn how to rewick and recoil a new head, saving more money in the long run.

Fake coils, white box with out Kanger logo?

No, they came individually wrapped. packaged in bubble wrap.

The real ones come in blister packs as far as I know. I've had this same problem with some knock off coils. Grab one of the new coils, separate the top tube from the coil base so you can see the wicks. I will bet the 2 flavor wicks came unraveled inside and are blocking airflow past the coil.

That's how authentic Kanger coils looks like.

Yeah Mine are all individual. And I purchased the from AltSmoke
I'm waiting for my new Base to come in to make sure it's not the base that is the problem.

And I don't think you meant pull the wicks out but I did XD

I got originals for mine the other day and it is hit or miss on them for good airflow. I am using a Joytech evic with the protank 2. Most of the new coils do not have a good air flow with out having it loose on my evic. I cleaned thoroughly and still do not have good air flow with out it being really loose.

Try turning the clear gasket on the atty upside down allowing more juice to get to the wick. Had similar problems....might help you, worked great for me
