kanger pro tank

[hawkeye46]

Just got a pro tank--I'm pretty new to vaping. The coil said 2.5 ohms, but when I checked it on my vamo it registered 3.2 ohms. Over the course of the day the resistance kept falling, last check it was 1.7 ohms. Is this a bad coil? Replaced it with new coil and it seems to be working ok now. Just curious. Don't know if I'm posting in the right place, new to this message board. Tried to reply on a pro tank thread and it wouldn't let me. Anybody know why? I smoked 3 packs of cigs a day for 40 years, but have not had a cig now for 18 days, really no desire. vaping rules!!! Bob

Not sure what is going on with that first coil, while it is not unusual for a coil to vary ( +/- .02 ohms ) from its stated value, or for the resistance to drop on a warm coil, compared to a cold coil. The variance you reported is way out of the ordinary, I would say you nailed it, bad coil. Glad your new one is working right.

Welcome to the Forum and let your vaping journey begin.

I would just set your vamo to a wattage you like and just keep using the coil until it quits, I found all 25 heads I got from 2 different vendors to be flaky. and worked much better when I recoiled them

I've gotten a few bad heads that didn't read right. In fact, got a new Protank on Friday that started off at 2.0 Ohms (marked as 2.5) and quickly worked up to 9.9 Ohms. Threw it out, tossed a new one in there and all is good.

Out of the several heads I have in rotation, only 2 or 3 have gone bad like that where it either shoots up or drops like a rock. It happens.

Yes that means its a faulty atomizer. Sometimes it may do that if the atomizer doesn't have a solid connection too. But if you have made sure that it was fully tightend then yes it may be faulty. Good to see another iowan on here. I work at Central Iowa Ecig in des moines. If you are ever in town stop by and see us

Hi hawkeye46 - welcome to ECF. Congrats on switching to vaping. As a new member, I think you have to have so many posts before going into some of the other forums or it could be that post is closed. Not sure. Anyway it sounds that you may just had a bad head there. I find that my protank heads although they say they are 2.5 ohms do register a little higher or lower. The Protank is a great tank system and if the resistance registers at 2.2 or 2.7 ohms, I would not to almarmed at that. These items are mass produced to keep costs down, so fluctuations in resistance can be expected IMHO. If its vaping ok and taste ok, I wouldn't be to concerned.

Thanks for the info folks--much appreciated. Sandroid is that a walk in shop in Des Moines?--Bob

 

[Dakota Jim]

possibly off topic - did you make sure your vamo is in rms/no2 mode?

Yes it is bob, also if you need to order over the phone we could ship as well. You can try all of our juices before you get them too.

Dakota Jim--yes I have it in rms/no2 mode. Sandroid--will stop buy when I'm in Des Moines. What's the address?--Bob

Careful, unauthorized "advertising" by vendors is frowned upon.
