just got an aerotank by kanger

[jake.scrivener.js]

So i went into my home vape shop and I'm all excited to get this aerotank, so i go in buy one, take it to my truck fill and prime the wick, take the first puff and let down, not great at all take a couple more puffs to make sure and then i disassemble take the base off put a single coil 1.2 ohm in it, take off the drip tip annd put it on my protank...satisfaction...i guess i don't like the double coil, tried rebuilding it for lower ohms but it didn't seem to help...any suggestions for making dual coils better? otherwise I'm just keepin the aerotank with my protank base and tip and vice versa on my protank 2...I'm thinkin single coil is a superior product, in my opinion at least

I've actually been more satisfied with the Aero attys than I was with my PT2 attys. I can't say for sure but due to the additional wicking it may need to sit in the tank a little longer than you are used to for the best vape.

Kind of thought that myself, so i reassembled with protank base and tip as a back up, ill be trying it again in a bit...i sure hope that's it otherwise i coulda just bought the base for 6 bucks and been just as happy

You probably would have been just as happy with just the base on the PT II. Since you are building your own coils, just build a single coil in the Aerotank head, be sure to add a pice of cotton in to take the place of the missing coil. I built one for a friend at 1.4Ω and it was cloud city. He too had been disapponted with the dual coils.

Thank u...i will probly do that...i use cotton, an extra piece won't give me that burning cotton taste will it?

Hmmmmmm, I had the opposite reaction. I had given up on all kanger products from poor experiences with their coils and such. I had been using a taifun gt almost exclusively for months when last week I decided to give the aerotank a shot. For me its second only to my taifun in terms or taste and vape quantity.

Hmm...i built a dual coil b4 in a single coil head and i was pretty unsatisfied...I'm kinda tthinkin once u get to the point your building your own heads u can get better quality out of a single coil

I just received three new packs of PT3/Aerotank coils via vape mail on Saturday.

I took one pack of five, opened every single one of them, ripped out the dual coils and silica, and replaced it with a single micro coil (8 wraps of 30 gauge, 1/16" drill bit), wicked with cotton, with a little cotton flavor wick on top.

Each one was checked and read 1.8 ohms.

Lemme tell ya... I may be a bit partial because I rebuilt them myself and all, but I find this configuration is far superior to the stock dual-coils. I've got two more unopened packs, and it's safe to say that I won't be using them without rebuilding them first.

The originals are made in China, probably by hand. Quality is variable. Learning to do this for myself has taken my vaping experience to another level.

Hm... I wonder why Kanger is going to dual coils, if singles are better.

In not saying that they r for ssure, just in my experiences i prefer a good single micro coil

I tend to think dual coils are overrated. Like horse power, engine valves, and a million other things, more is not necessarily better.

You'll get more vapor from a single coil pushed at say, 10 Watts, than you can get from dual coils running at 10 Watts. In the dual coil scenario, each coil is only gets 5 watts.

Taken to an extreme, imagine 10 coils getting 1 Watt each. Total power is still the same (10 Watts), but you'll hardly see any vapor (if any at all).

If you can run dual coils at 20 Watts, you'll get approximately twice the vapor production.

My $.02.
