I am new

[drunkenmaster]

And I am posting here, because after this I will have to post four more times before I'm a real people.

I have recently given up on my pro tank 3 and have decided to step up to a big boy tank. I have ordered a kraken and a kraken clone (the clone mostly out of curiosity, and for ten bucks I can afford to be curious). I have tried to find exactly what I need via google but have been unsuccessful. This forum seemed very friendly, knowledgeable, and safety oriented.

I'll meet you guys once I'm a real people. Four more posts...

Soon you will be real..... Soon grasshopper

Well, hello & welcome.

 

[DetraMental]

Hello and welcome! LoL, you are real people even if you only have the one post. Looking forward to seeing your posts around. Happy vaping!

 

[Elizabeth Baldwin]

Welcome real person.

Good luck with your new gear.

 

[Jugband]

Welcome to ECF! Congrats on becoming a real person!

Hello and welcome!

What problems are you having with your protank? I still use mine (even though I also have RBA's/RDA's). What type of battery/mod are you currently using?

Plenty of Real People here in the New Members Forum to help.

This isn't a kiddy pool

I have a k100 and a Tesla mod. I've found the pro tank to be really convenient, but I don't feel I get enough vapor/flavor from it until I turn up to 3.6 volts, once I pass 3.5 the liquid starts to discolor and taste burnt.

I like my Protank. I may upgrade eventually but I'm sticking with it. Welcome to the forum.

1. How often do you replace or "dry burn" your current coil?
2. Do you have the flavor/vapor issue (at 3.6volts) on a new coil? Does this happen with all your e-liquid?
3. What type of e-liquid are you vaping? i.e. sweet, fruit, tobacco, etc.
4. What is the ohm of your coil?

 

[drunkenmaster]

I've been replacing them every ten days or so. A new coil seems to help, but only for a little while. I neer dry burn it. I have mostly pink spot flavors, and a whole bunch of "mothers milk". Coil is 2 ohm.

Welcome!

You might need to get a different brand for the juice's flavor you're looking for. However, I like my vanilla juice, and I know, it's gumming up the coil(s) real quick (max. 5 days of use), giving this burned taste. Therefore, I was using my PT2, rather than my PT3, both w/ air flow control. In addition, I started building my own coils w/ a cotton wick, which also improved the flavor.

Protank 3 sits well above my Tesla, could this be an airflow issue?

I mean, I get my kraken in the next few days so getting my pro tank worked out isn't really my intention. I'm more hoping for help on how to build it, I have never set one up before.

When answering those questions, we'd be able to provide better advice to you.

No, the airflow is on the side of the PTs (that's why I like the PT). My PT2/3 on my ProVari, all had a gap.

Google is your friend. I found 3 videos by using the search "how to build a coil for the kraken".

Dark sweet e-liquid will "gunk" up a coil very, very fast leading to poor performance (burnt taste/lack of vapor). I usually "dry burn" my coils after a couple of tanks when vaping these type of e-liquids. Here is a video on how to do this. How to Clean & Dry Burn... Kanger ProTank II & Mini ProTank II, Kanger Coils

I also rebuild all my Kanger coils and replace the stock wick with cotton -- much better performance. Mini Protank Micro Coil Rebuild

Another improvement I have made is to replace my Protank base with an Aerobase. More airflow = less burnt taste = more vapor.

Welcome! The folks here are VERY generous with good advice and recommendations. I've ditched a 45 year habit by learning from the people here. You've found a great place!
