Kanger Pro-tank II problem

[Margate69]

Looking for a little help with an issue I'm having.

I have a WOOTube e-cig, and it's been great for me.

I started using KANGER MT3 tanks with 2.5Ohm resistor coils. This worked very well for a setup, but I started having problems with the atomizers leaking regularly.

I decided to switch to a Kanger protank II because it came very highly recommended as a rebuildable unit, easy to fill and clean, and they don't have the same leaking problem as the smaller, simpler T3. I bought the same 2.5ohm coils, but they see to be burning the atomizers immediately. At least that is my diagnosis, since I had the same taste and smell when I tried to use a 1.8ohm T3 tank and atomizer head.

Is this a problem anyone has had before? Do I just need to let the coil break in? (I have tried a second coil, no change.)

Any info anyone has will help, since I have only had this tank for I dunno 5 effing minutes lol.

Are you giving them too much volts? And whats your liquid base? I find that I have to let my protanks wick a little bit with 50/50 and anything under that it really doesnt wick almost at all.

I bought the same liquid I have been using with the T3, a mix of 2 different flavors. The vapor production is there, but it tastes terribly burnt. Like hitting a dry wick almost thinking of the Smok dual coil tanks that I got with my kit.

If you are using 50/50 or thicker (higher VG), you need to pull at least 1 of the flavor wicks out under the coil. Check YouTube for the how-to. I have the ProTank1 and absolutely NO ISSUES but I use 70/30. I do give the tank a few minutes for the wicks to absorb up some fluid but then puff puff away.

Welcome Margate69! Im using the same coils and don't seem to be burning through them with my 650 passthrough. Do you know how many volts are you using?

I dont know what a whoot is, but it sounds like your putting too much power to it. I wouldnt go over 4.0 volts on a 2.5 ohm coil, and actually, I really wouldnt go more than 3.7 volts.

Taking one of the flavor wicks out wont do a thing except mess up the vape/airflow etc unless your juice is extreamly thick. I would let the juice soak for a couple of minutes though.

Thats because you are 3.7 volts and less ( you loose voltage as you vape)...........

 

[Margate69]

The WOOtube has a max 5.0v regulated (I know way too high for 2.5ohm)
But the batteries are 3.7v, I tested them in series with a DVOM (I'm a mechanic) and they are only putting out 4v. So 2.5 should be good...

I really think your burning the wicks with 4.0 volts. Ive gone through too many of those coils and figured this out. I have 8 protanks and a bunch of coils. I actually prefer the 1.8 ohm and vape them at about 3.3 to 3.5 for longevity and to keep from burning the wicks. I do a bit of rebuilding too. My two cents anyway....Good luck to you.

 

[Margate69]

Well crap. I guess I'll see if the problem clears up, if not I'll go back to my old tank until I can go to Vaporden and figure something else out...

Is it the Smoktech Woo mod that stacks two 3.7 batteries?

Yes! I have been really stoked on it (switched from e-go upgrade). But then I bought this tank and it is making me very angry...

Okay man. I have a Woo mod. That's actually 8.4 volts, and is regulated down to 5 volts. I use 3 to 4 ohm coils with it. I'm afraid that the juice is being scorched at 2.5 ohm. Also that stock coil wire is very thin.

 

[Margate69]

Well that is a relief. I'm surprised I didn't have this problem with the other atomizer heads I was using for the last couple of months. Also the guys I bought the thing from said use 2.5 for a good vape hit with the T3 tank. Looks like I'm express shipping some 3.5 ohm coils lol.

Thanks Jimi!

Your welcome man. I bet the 3.5 ohm coils will work fantastic

It would be simple to get 4-5 Heads and recoil to 3.0ohm
Then you have extras and can rebuild at your leisure.

I just got my Kanger Protank 2 the other day. Installed everything and did get a really nasty plastic/ burnt taste. I actually fixed this temporarily realizing that the driptip is lined with this black dirty residue. I suggest trying a different drip tip, or cleaning the one that comes with your PT2. I'll let you know if the burnt taste comes back but I heard it has something to do with the rubber grommet resting on the head. Some people have removed flavor wicks but do as you please.

This is all great info for someone that's waiting on tma PT2
I'm stoked to try this thing...I'll be interested to see how it stacks up against my Vivi Nova and Iclear 30

Had the same issue but I think is because the high vg on my liquid, I was doing 3.2-3.5 with a 1.8 dual coil on my provari and was better taste but at the end the vape experience wasn't that great as the vivinova v3
