Kanger Pro Tank 2 Ultimate Fix!!!!

[NiNi]

I think I have finally solved the PT2 issues...... I had a lot of luck with the first, eh, 20 something heads I got, 1 in 5 were leaking, gurgling, whatever. I burn my coils to clean them, so I don't know yet how to make my own coils.

1. First I replaced the wicks with boiled bulk cotton....ok, great improvement.....for a while...
2. Took a suggestion on turning the silicone ring/cup of the stem, turning it upside down and replacing it back on the stem (chimney), yep, great.....for a while.......
3. Final modification and it has yet to fail me. "Double cup it"!!!!! Leave the original cup pointing down on the stem and add another pointing up on the stem. This is working! I think the whole deal is between the actual stem and the draw tube you channel the stem into after you refill the PT2, it's not snug, tight, whatever, and juice is sucked into the draw tube through the surrounding gap.

And I took a pic to you could actually see it!


Yep, it's working like a charm, no gurgle, no juice suck, necessity is the mother of invention!!!! To say nothing that I have 2 PT's and 4 PT2's that I'm not going to throw out.
PS. And you can vape that puppy almost dry, no refill at the 1/3, 1/4 mark!!!!

Congrats on finding something that works for you! What works for me is to completely rebuild them using cotton.

That's a great idea and I'm glad that it is working for you! I've actually taken mine off completely on both my ProtankIIs and it works good...

Simply reversing the cup has worked for me, I have not needed 2 cups yet. I also tend to use mine until empty with no leaking problems ... Thanks for the tips though!

I've always understood they have to seal tight to work right. Maybe that is why I never have issues.

Flipping the cup only really works IF the cup has started to become concave.(dips down in center) No doubt with Manufacturing lack of decent Q.C. some tubes may be pressed in further increasing the gap tolerance.

* note - I always lift the seal when refilling or after cleaning and let the upper tube press it into correct position. (Correct being seated against the tube, not necessarily tight against the chimney base.)

I went to micro coils on my evods (same coil). 10 wraps of 28ga kanthal around a toothpick and cotton for a wick and no flooding, no gurgling and best of all great flavor.
