My question is: I have (2) mini protank 2's...and several old coils of said tanks. I also own an aerotank which I like very much, but the dual coil design seems to burn through juice pretty quickly, as well as my mod's battery (itaste mvp 2). So, I rebuilt one of my protank 2 coils using 28 gauge kanthal + organic cotton for the wick. Tested at 1.6 ohms, so I inserted it into my aerotank base + aerotank and vaped away. Started off great; good clouds, good flavor, until today when I started noticing something odd. I would continually wind up with juice in my mouth, despite no gurgling or flooding coming from the tank/atty head. Am I missing something here? I'm aware that the aerotank coils are a bit longer, since the atty base holds two coils instead of one as the stock protank coils do. I did the same build on an aerotank coil, and so far I haven't had the same problem. Does it have something to do with the protank coil bases being a bit shorter? The clear rubber grommet that sits at the base of the post is also smaller on the protank coils. I've read in a couple of places that people use their protank and protank 2 coils in the aerotank with no issues whatsoever. Can someone enlighten me as to what could be happening here? Thanks.

Im sorry i can't answer your question. Its out of my league and you sound like you know a ton already. humble suggestion...maybe posting in the ask "a veteran section". i think many new members like me are still trying to figure out which end of our ego battery we should light.
good luck
i stand corrected

Ok I did that...I blew on one end, and it looks like the liquid that blew out the other end was a mixture of condensation (too thin/watery to be just juice only) and the juice itself (the juice in question is cappuccino, so it's a light brown). I've heard of people using 2 grommets stacked back to back...I suppose I will try that. Btw, my aerotank coil rebuild is failing hard after a few hits. Very low vapor, as well as gurgling. I might've used a bit too much wick.
I rebuild my aerotank coils as singles. I stack wick, coiled wick, wick to fill in all of that space. I coil to 1.4 to 1.7 ohms (6 wraps of 30 ga kanthal around my little screwdriver). The advantage to this build is the 2 non coiled wicks protect the bottom grommet from coil burns and protect the coil from touching the chimney. I rarely have any flooding and can vape them at 10 watts on my MVP2.
As far as the old single coils from the protank 2, I bought aero bases for the protanks and still use them.

I don't have an aerotank (hope to soon, though!). However, I have a PT3 Mini which uses the same dual coils as the Aerotank. On my PT3 Mini I cannot use Evod coils (the singles in the PT2) but I can use the single coil heads for the T3S/MT3S (they're a little taller than the Evod head). Maybe these will work?
" Very low vapor, as well as gurgling" is a perfect description of flooding, which would imply too little wick or a grommet issue.
I put an aerotank base and single coil PT atomizer on my puritank and it works great. Being able to vary the draw from zero to wide open is great.
Newbie, but learning fast....Upgraded to PT3 with Airflow base. Original coils sucked. Grommets on Kanger replacement heads seemed to have solved the leaking/gurgling that happened after a few days. Using with itaste vv v3. Dual coil with pull control make me a happy vaper.
