I bought a Kanger ProTank today. I fill it up with juice, waited a couple hours to ensure it was saturated and I began to vape. I can get about 2-3 drags on it then the next vape burns. I turned it down to 4.0 volts and I still have this issue. I'm using a 80/20 PG/VG blend. It came with two heads. I even took one of the spare whicks out on one of the heads to ensure the lower whicks could get more saturated and I still have the same issues...
Kanger Protank constant burning! HELP!

You don't need to wait hours for it to saturate. You should be able to vape right away. It seems like you may have a bad coil but you say you tried both heads? Try turning your voltage down to 3.6. I have five Protanks and they all work great but I've noticed that different juices wick better at different voltages (specifically darker juices are more troublesome).
Try a few cold drags prior to vaping to help suck some of the juice into the coil. Also, you can't suck on them like you can a carto tank. The Protank is pretty airy so try a slow gentle draw.

I'm vaping Mtn baker vapor Mtn dew. It's just really frustrating paying 20 bucks for something that's unvapeable. I do the dry pulls every now and again. They help for about one draw then it tastes burnt again.
Try unscrewing the tank from the base a little bit and watch for a bubble.
I have 2 and both will give dry hits if I have the 2 parts of the tank screwed together tight but once I've loosened it a bit I can happily chain vape.
I just measured the gap and it's 0.3mm which is a lot but it works well,has not leaked and has not come apart.
Just to be clear I'm talking about the tank body to tank base connection not the tank base to battery one.
50/50 with one flavour wick removed.

The best way to vape a new head is to wash it prior to use. That will help wicking. Also start with a low voltage (about 3.5v) and work your way up as it breaks in. With 80/20 juice shouldn't have that much problem wicking, turn your voltage down.
Have you tried the other head? It wasn't clear to me in your post. If not try the other head. I had one come from the factory on one of my EVOD's that fried after about 5 hits. Nothing but a burnt taste. Sounds like yours is fried. You can rebuild it though if you're into that. Here's the link for the tutorial.

I would rebuild a head yourself, it may just be a poorly built head. China isn't known for their QC.
Rule of thumb, double your resistance. 1.6 ohms to 3.2/3.7v. 3 ohms to 6v (now I understand why some people are crazy about stacking batteries). I prefer less vapor but tons of flavor.
