Kanger ProTank 3

[koski88]

I gave up on Kanger after the PT2, flavor just never seemed to be there and it just seemed to become more of a hassle for me. I pretty much put all my clearos and cartos down and have been consistent on my RBAs. My findings overall on the PT3, that people online and the few people I know personally who have been using them aren't really impressed.

I think I'm sticking with my protank 2 for now. I tested one out at a shop, but didn't notice any difference either.

I was experimenting with that ; boiled a cotton ball, then tryed to make a wick out of it; then just tryed to plant it over the top of the coil.

- So you dont actually interfere with the coil itself right? Just replacing the flavour wick that is on the top?
- And do you like try to stretch the cotton into a wick shape or do you just stuff it in the space over the coil?

I was thinking to stuff one side of the coil and leave the other side for airflow.

I can taste the cotton; it doesn't taste terribly toxic; but I do wish I could be more confident about inhaling from cotton on hot coil.

I boiled like 1/4 of a bag of cotton balls, dried them and tucked them away in a bag. The boiling is to get any residual chemicals from processing out of them, so let them simmer for 1/2 an hour, change water and do it again... then rinse, wring and let air dry for a couple of days until you are certain that they are dry to the core.

Then, you'll see that each 'ball' is actually a little bail that can be unrolled into a puff of fibers, all in the same direction. Tear a section of this off lengthwise, maybe the diameter of a pencil before compressing it.

Twist this into a wick. I go pretty tight, others may tell you to go looser. The thing is, that the cotton will expand a lot as it absorbs liquid, so you have to find that right balance between dense enough to fill the gaps and wick and thin enough that it's not compressed and inhibiting the flow of juice.

For your first few, just do the flavor wick until you get a feeling for that sweet spot of volume of cotton and density of twist. After that, experiment with one of your old heads... pull the silica out, dry burn lightly to clean the heads, and pop the new cotton wick in there. If done right, a flavor wick isn't needed at that point, since the cotton absorbs so much juice.

*The rule of thumb I use for doing the main wick is that I roll just tight enough that it will follow smoothly through the coil, without too much gap, nor dragging along the sides. This way, it has room to expand without strangling itself.

be really careful, as you don't ever want to dry burn cotton. Not only will it taste horrible, but it runs the risk of catching fire!

Then, don't look back. You will be using cotton wick from then on.

thanks;

i can do the flavor wicks but no way can i interfere with those tiny coils.
