Does anyone know where to buy a Kanger AeroTank airflow control base only thats made specifically for the ProTank 1 and 2? I found one on this website but it was $13.50 before shipping, which IMO is way to expensive. Thanks in advance

I bought an airflow controller which came out 1-2 months or so after the Protank 1. (Spring, last year?)
EPIC FAIL. Whatever that was, it didn't work. Beware.

Let me Google that for you................

Yeah, i had one of those, same here. Why does the pin stick out of the bottom too far when you set it for a tight draw ?. The airflow controllers are really crap.
I just hope aerotank bases aren't made in the same way.
This is where I got mine. Works great. The ring is loose though, if your going to have it in a pocket, it will need adjusted all the time. Mine never sees a pocket so stays where I set it. This also uses the single coil heads, rather then the duel coil for aerotank or PT3.
The day i got my vamo i got an airflow controller. Put the afc on the vamo and got an error. The grommit popped out of the vamo causing a short because the pin on the afc is too long. Never used the afc again. Took ages to fix the vamo.
Original airflow control that came out doesn't work. Doesn't fit flush. Gets unscrew to easily. I bought a few and never used it after first day. AeroTank base fits nice and tight on any ProTank. As far as I know, only Sun Vapers carry them.
Just ordered an aerotank base from here Protank Airflow Controller [VE659] - £3.99 : Vape Escape
Finally! I thought these were some sort of proprietary stuff that only Sun Vapers can carry and got a bit nervous. Glad to see others are starting to carry them.
Had to take a good look to make sure these things weren't anything like the original afc. No one has really mentioned how they work so i needed to know. They just have a ring that can be adjusted to control the air from holes in the side. So there's no movement of the centre pin, which would be a ridiculous idea !.
What were those guys thinking when they developed the original ?.
I just ordered one from sun-vapers. For $6, I get to upgrade a protank 2 and still use all my coils I have stored up. Hopefully the dual coils for the pt3, mini pt3, and aerotank go down in price by the time I run out of coils.
Thanks..but when I checked a few days ago, only one place carried them and they were $13.50 a piece not including shipping. Now more vendors are starting to carry them, that's awesome!
I got mine from sun vapers. Got it yesterday and loving it tons. Sorry I can't post a link to the site but I used them and I was very pleased with it. Worth the 5 bucks honestly if you love the protank coils.

VapeEscape definitely sells them - I got a couple of spare ones when I ordered my Aerotank, just in case 
I'm not sure about shipping to the US though.
EDIT: SunVapers and My Vapor Store both have the base, along with positive reviews.
Yeah I heard those were terrible too! The Aerotank ones work very well, though. I've been using mine around a week now and it is very functional. An added benefit is that the base is completely blocked off, so there's no leakage onto the battery (doesn't seem to be too much of a problem with the AT anyway) - this is only a problem in the unfortunate event that you do get some leakage, as you have to blow it out through the holes once it gathers at the bottom, under the head. This occasionally makes it difficult to unblock the little air holes of eliquid gunk, but that's nothing a quick wash and dry under the tap doesn't solve!
One small gripe is that the little wheel used to control the amount of air to get through the holes is quite loose, and moves around easily if you're carrying it in a pocket or something similar. The wheel also becomes a little bit slanted, meaning one of the three air holes is covered more than the other two. However, it seems if you level the wheel out while adjusting by pulling slightly down/pushing slightly up on the threading, it levels it out more.
Off-topic in the second half but never mind!

Have to say !, this new airflow controller isn't perfect. It isn't !. When the coil is screwed in, the centre pin is pushed out, only a tiny bit, and not as much as the original afc, but still enough for my vamo to give me a "low load" error, i've got a sensitive vamo,
. Even when i use my protank on a spinner i still have to leave it a little loose and tighten the thread to give the tank a tight fit to the battery, but that's ok. I just don't want to be pushing in the terminals on my mods and ego batteries.
So, the idea would be to remodel this same device but make the centre pin a little shorter so before it is fitted with a coil the pin should sit just below the end of the thread, if you know what i mean. So when a coil is fitted, however much the coil pushes it, it can only end up flush with the end of the thread without it protruding from the base.

Been using mine for a week now and it has solved all the problems with the PT II. Much bester AFC device than the original. I do have success with the original when I use it on my HyperTank but I carry my eVic in a leather pouch on a lanyard and the pouch prevents the AFC from turning on its own so I set it and forget it.
