Kanger Aerotank not working

[ampanda]

So I was super excited to try my aerotank yesterday, I filled it up with liquid and it worked okay for a little while, until it stopped firing.
I have the air holes completely uncovered, and I have tried it on multiple batteries. I unscrewed the base from the tank and tried just the coil and it fired with just the coil but when I reattached the tank nadda.

If anybody can offer any advise I would really appreciate it. It's so frustrating when new equipment doesn't work.

Sounds like the coil popped. Have you tried replacing the head with one of the spares that came with it?

Make sure the coil is screwed down enough to protrude from bottom ever so slightly, also try prying up the center post on your PV but be gentle, sounds like your not getting proper pin contact.

Sorry the part about it firing when not in the tank just sank in. Make sure the chimney isn't shorting out the coil. I assume to see it fire you pulled the chimney off the base to see the coil. Does the coil appear to be slide to one side more than other, making it possible the coil is touching the chimney when everything is assembled?

okay so after messing with it a little more i noticed that when i attempted to fire it the light on my mvp stayed green for a few seconds before turning off, which means a short, i just can't figure out what's causing it.

Just out of curiosity I tried the coil in my protank 3 and it worked fine so the problem is with the aerotank itself

I've screwed a coil into an aero-tank base and had the center pin go off center and short more than once. I just unscrew the coil and reseat it. You can see if the center pin is centered from looking at the bottom of the base. Those bases cured my draw problems.

I'll add to Crunchy by saying, check the wires as well. It may not short in your pt3 because your not screwing the tank on as tight as you are the coil in the aerotank base. The center pin can compress farther and cause the hot wire to contact the side if its too long.

I had issues with the top coil shifting and shorting out when screwed down too far. It sacked because I bought an aerotank and aero bases for my protank 3 to fix the dreaded airflow issue when screwed down to far onto my Provari. Rebuilt with single coil in dual coil head and problem solved. Hope this helps.
