Im pretty sure I did get ripped off. On the kangertech site its an obvious TM on the tank. On mine its an R. Such a load of bolcrap

For what it's worth, I ordered 2 ProTanks from Cloud 9 vaping (who I believe are fairly reputable over here in UK) and both have an R rather than a TM. Maybe it's a geographical difference rather than genuine/fake?

Just picked one up, watched ton of videos...

flipped the rubber upside down...

didnt fill it over half...

checked the volts and ohms...

changed at least 4 atomizers...

This thing vapes perfect when it vapes, the other 99% of the time its a burnt taste, ive ruined 4 attys, ive wasted eliquid, id rather buy a blue. This is the worst item i have ever encountered vaping.

how about letting your coils temper.
some times it takes a little vaping to temper the coil.
some times after a cleaning ,a rebuild,or new atty head,you will still get a burnt taste.
after no more than a quarter of a fill this should go away.
you can pre burn,scorch your kanthal,any thing you like, but some times until
the juice meets the coil the metal may still need some tempering.
quit throwing away new atty's.
:vapor:

Kanger QC on the coils have been not so great lately. Search the forum a lot of people are noticing the same thing or dropping a new coil in and it not even producing.

DONT USE THE COILS THAT COME IN THE PACKAGE WITH THE TANK. I didn't because somewhere here at ECF I read not to. So I didn't. I use 1.8ohm coils. The ones that came with the tank were higher. I assume you already went through those since you went through 4.

Another thing to do. If you burnt an coil new or not, dump the liquid out, disassemble completely and rise/soak in hot water. The burnt coil can actually contaminate the WHOLE tank of liquid or what's left in it. Which makes every vape after changing from a burnt coil taste burnt. It sucks having to dump a full pt2 but I had no choice.

Had a burnt coil went to change it and as soon as I took the base off, I smelt the burnt taste I just had in my mouth from the tank. I know it was the tank/fluid because the coil and base, I had just dropped in the sink of hot water to rinse off.




HAPPY VAPING!

Theres something not right here. My box looks different, i didnt have the rubber cap on the drip tip when i unboxed it. Im having WAY more trouble than imaginable with this device and some of the asthetics look off. As well as the szkanger.com on the bottom of the box.

If your box isn't red/black. It's not a PT...


HAPPY VAPING!

My ones didn't have a rubber cap on the drip tip and they also have szkanger.com on the box, I finally got a response from the website which appears to be a legitamate US Service Ctr for Kanger (could be wrong on that though). TBH I'm new to vaping and I found the protanks rather fiddly.

Yea that is DEFINATELY not there. I was looking hard for one of those and I couldnt find it. But that is blatantly obvious.

Ya know what im not gunna bash talk them because i dont know if its fake or not, im leaning towards it is, no security code, off color on the box not working worth a crap,... these people were genuine in the store,. I feel betrayed lol. If it is fake im gunna be ...... though.

My Kanger Protanks did not come with the security code, and I trust my vendor - he says he gets them directly from Kangertech, but they have been working flawlessly! Aboslutely love'em for mild tasting eliquids :)

Not sure how recently they started putting these on there - I've seen some videos where they had a holographic sticker instead (don't know whether those were legit or not lol!) - from Kanger's website:

With the onslaught of knock-off tank products claiming to be KangerTech products, or of being just as good as KangerTech products, KangerTech has decided to set the bar even higher. KangerTech has always held its quality to the highest standards, and in doing created a quality that is not easily duplicated. As such, KangerTech is issuing an extension of warranty on all of its current tank models. Genuine KangerTech Protank 2, Protank 2 Mini, Protank 3, and AeroTank quality is of such high standard, that KangerTech is now warranting the glass tanks of manufacturer defect for one (1) year, all and the o-rings for life. As well, KangerTech will be replacing any DOA coils.

Sounds like there's probably as many fakes out there as real ones :D
