Kanger Protank 2 - No draw

[BizzyD]

Hello, I got a problem with my protank 2. When I take a drag, I get almost no vape. its like 90% air.
I only get good vape when I run my battery at 4.8 volt but then the taste is horrible.
It worked fine before but then it just changed like that. What is wrong with it? I really loved it when it was working as it should.

what mod or type of mod are you using?
Is it variable voltage/variable wattage?

I am using it with a ego twist.

how long have you been vaping with this tank or changed the burner?
it may be time to change the burner..
Or it may just be clogged wicks..
You can try firing it and blowing out rather than in, until you see air bubbles coming up in the tank..
if it improves give it another fire and blow a time or two..

sometimes depending on the e-juice ,some will clog a wick faster than others will..usually darker juices..

Changed the burner not long ago. 5 days ago.

After 5 days a good rinse and dry burn are def in order. With some liquids you may only get a couple of days (dark or sweet). Whenever you notice a drop in flavor and/or vapor production the coil should be your first part to clean/replace.

Hope this helps some!

Give it a shot at blowing back on it and testing to see if the hit improves..

I've had coils go out in that amount of time. just by it being a different ohm coil than i had in it before..
Also, depending on how much more i was hitting on it, also my juice thickening up from just aging..
juice can thicken up pretty quick,depending on the mixture..

This is all just trial and error really to try and see what's going on..

Five days is more than enough time to crud up a Kanger coil. How long they last is dependent on your liquids. Some very dark and/or very sweet flavors can ruin a coil and wick in a matter of a few hours, let alone days. As the coil and wick get mucked up the vapor production drops. You have to keep increasing the voltage to compensate and... land where you did with everything tasting burnt and harsh. At that point you are creating more smoke from burning crud off the coil than producing vapor.

If you really want to know what's going on: The vent tube - the tube on top of the coil assembly with the silicone cap on it - is removable. Dry it so you can get a grip on it and wiggle and pull until it comes off. That exposes the coil and wick. What do you see in there? If it's practically black and you can't tell where the top wick leaves off and the coil starts - that's a mucked up coil that needs cleaning or replacing.

Make sure it's screwed in all the way. Took me a half hour to realize my coil was barely making contact
