I am so sick of my Prtotank mini 2..

[Zackh18]

Ive tried to put up with it for long enough, ive tried all those DIY fixes and everything under the sun. But it still taste like burnt ..... I run my Ptm2 on my Itaste Vv/Vw 3.0 and usually on 4.2 voltage on a 2.5 ohm head. Ive tried everything, i flipped the little plastic guard upside down, i rebuilt the atom head without one of the flavor wicks. ive primed it and dry hit it, i clean it thuroughly every two days.
What im trying to get at is , can someone please give me some troubleshooting things on how to fix my protank problem..

OR

Can you tell me some other good tanks i should get instead of using my ptm2?

Also im confused on what the different styles of tanks are, so if u can add what a Atomizer, clearomizer, cartomizer and what an RBA tank is.

i just want something that works better than my ptm2..

if i cant find anything better, im just gonna go back to my iclear 16's because i havent had a problem with them yet.

the Aspire clearos are getting rave reviews with the Aspire Nautilus leading the pack - it is a full sized tank but it has AFC (air flow control) so you can tune it also

Aspire Nautilus BDC (Adjustable Airflow Control Tank)

Do you have any idea what could be my problem with my protank? like im looking to get that new aspire tank but i dont wanna make the same mistake again if its gonna end up screwing up like my protank

Turn down the voltage? I tend to fire my pt2 minis @ 4v or below. Most of my juices taste burnt at higher voltage than 4.

Is there any reason you want to vape at 4.2 volts?

I also use 2.5 ohm coils pretty much exclusively with my pt2s

I do 3.5v on mine and it seems pretty nice

 

[Zackh18]

no i have no reason tbh.. i just thought since im at 2.5 ohm coil , and i looked at the safe vaping chart to go at the highest voltage i can with the ohms im on. so ill try to go under 4 and see how it goes..

I run my PT2s and mini PT2 at 3.7-3.9W. Anything higher is blech. I also double the flavor wick on all my PTs. It seems to inhibit the burning of juice. Your milage may vary.

 

[Zackh18]

how do you double the flavor wick?

I tend to start low and work my way up as needed to hit the sweet spot with any particular juice. I'm using pt2 minis 2.5 ohm with no problems. Hope you get it worked out...very frustrating.

Get the nautilus.

I save dead coils and wicks from my iClears. Use a small pair of scissors (like cuticle scissors - girls usually have these) to cut off the wicks, clean and dry burn the coil, then put 1 or 2 of the of the re-purposed cut wicks in place of the flavor wicks, replace the PT2 stem, and trim to fit. I hear you can also roll pieces of cotton balls, but I haven't had much luck doing that. They end up too thin. That may be user error, tho.

 

[jwoode]

On the safe vaping chart.. are you looking at the voltage number at the top of the grid or the number straight over from the ohms?

because voltage is on top.

I'm only asking because I made that mistake before.

Now I just adjust voltage and go by taste.

I just went through this with my wife she was having nothing but trouble with the protank 2 I brought her home an aspire BDC and she is loving it. She says it's producing better flavor and vapor than the pt2 ever did.

If it is any help I use a 3ml liquinator tank for work. ( I don't think the tank is the problem or solution but I use 3.0 bouges in it and burn from 3.5 to 4.0 depending on the flavor) That being said, I am not a huge carto fan, and you are getting more flavor off your protank than a carto provides. Because of this I am going to invest in a genny soon to replace my carto tank.)
A genny purchace sounds like your next step to me. For the record I dislike cartos since I do encounter a crap carto in about 1 out of 5 or so / as well as not being to vape thick or heavy sweet VG juices in them. Still, the carto tank does get me through 12 hour shifts at work with no problems for weeks at a time. At home I DRIP on either my heilos clone or EGO W3 which were less than $30 each. I use organic cotton instead of wick, and run from one to four coils at a time just depending on what I want at that time, or what I have set up in my rebuildables.

My cousin who got me vaping and off the cigs has his PT2 in his junk pile with a new head he never used because he moved on. I think protanks are great but RBAs and gennys are superior and easier to rebuild.
Just my two cents.

start lowest, go until it tastes good. Don't get greedy about wanting more vapor or flavor, at a certain point you've gotten all you can get without burning the juice on the wick inside of the coil.

You won't get as warm a vape from the protank as you do those iclears, ever.. (the coil is much farther away) I think the flavor is probably stronger in the iclears too, imo at least.


evod tanks seem to work really well, even though they use the same atomizer head as the protank, they're smaller.. maybe it has something to do with the vacuum being different, who knows.. but they're pretty cheap too, heads are replaceable, and they come in pretty colors /*shiny eyes*

Does the evod take the same coil head replacements as the Mini Protank 2??? Just curious because I hate my Mini Protanks and if I order some evods, I want to make sure they are compatible.

Ive found the protanks don't like the thicker or even slightly thick "normal" juices. Put a thinner and clearer juice in and you can crank them up a bit. I keep them around 5W to make them last a bit longer.

Looking at my box of atty heads now: "for protank & evidence & unitank"

Sorry yes on evod
That was an autocorrect issue
The iphone does not like our vape lingo...lol

You might check the rubber grommet on your pt2. If you scorched it, you will continue to get a burned lousy taste, regardless of what you do to the wick and coil. The pt, pt2 and evod all take the same coil.
