issues with protank 3 coils

[vinylsplinters]

Hey all,

First Post, finally decided to sign up instead of lurking. i have been vaping for around 3 months.

Setup:
itaste vv v3.0
kangertech protank2 and unitank

I recently bought the protank3 with the new dual coil. The problem is the new coils thread in to the base fine but the battery says no coil (non). I have tried multiple coils with the same result. the old style pt2/uni/evdo coils work fine but they dont seal in the pt3. Is there a solution or adjustment i can make to get it working? Anyone else have this problem?

Welcome to the forums, sorry about your problem. You can try pulling the pin down slightly on the pt3 coil to make contact. Give it another try making sure the coil is in tight before this.

Unfortunately the pt2 coils don't work in the 3 tank. Hope you get it to work.

I thought they did? Should be the same except for the longer stem/tube and dual coils. The bottom collar is exactly the same size.

As far as the "NON" issue, try wiping off the contact and the bottom of the atty. I have gotten rid of this issue by doing this.

Thanks for the replies guys.... sadly I over tightened my pt3 and cracked the glass. But it is really more of an excuse to buy multiple replacements...in different colors. I'm waiting by the mailbox
I will try your suggestions soon.

many thanks Sthur after getting my new tanks i pulled the pin down as suggested and it works great.

on another note, I have been having issues with multiple PT3's leaking immediately upon opening of the package.

Any idea why? I couldn't imagine the reason, given we tried the tanks on multiple batteries, and tried PT2's on the same batteries, which worked great..

Did you tighten the coil? Any of the Protanks I've bought have the coils loosely threaded into their sockets.

Id check and see if the coil head is screwed in tightly. The super short stem is hard to tighten as the silicone cap thwarts a good grip. Get a napkin take off the cap n tighten down the coil head. That should help... assuming its leaking from the very bottom center... if leaking from the tank seals then you may need to tighten down the base a bit (be careful not to overtighten as it may crack the tank!) Perhaps there is a missing gasket pressure sealing the tank? Check to see...
