Kanger Protank Flavor Wicks

[HDVaper]

Could any of you folks tell me what size (diameter) and material the "flavor wicks" are? Just about EVERY TIME I try to clean and dry burn the coil those pesky little wicks unravel no matter how careful I try to be. Then the leaking and gurgling begins and they go straight to the trash!! If I could get some wick material that would work I believe I could salvage them and reuse them until the coil itself dies. I haven't got the nerve to try to do coils yet. I'd really appreciate any info I could get here.

I tried to post this in the "tank" section but it wouldn't post. I tried several times, then gave up and posted it here.

EDIT: I finally got this to post in the proper section but I don't know how to delete this post. Sorry.

When I dry burn I put fresh flavor wicks on der. I unravel a 3mm piece to 4 sections and use two of those sections. So 1.5mm worth.

It's good you didn't post in tanks cause that section is for carto tanks. This is a clearo issue. Badabing!

I use cotton from an everyday cotton ball and so far it works fine.

I use cotton cheesecloth.

Eureka! Do you cut a small piece and roll it, or unravel threads and twist them together? Or does it matter?

tlpruitt, thanks for asking the question! I've been having the same problem.

This is probably a stupid question but here goes: Do you roll up a piece so it looks similar in size & just lay it in there over the top of the wick with the coil?

Thanks

Not at all a stupid question.

Basically, I pull a small amount from the cotton ball, then roll it. I place it in the slot on the coil and cut it to size so it doesn't hang over the sides and get caught in the threads. I got it caught in the threads once and it leaked. Lessons learned.

Every time I clean a coil I replace the cotton. Super simple.

I've done it both ways with no discernible difference. My preferred way is to just cut it to my desired length (I use a little longer for high-VG use), dip a finger in some liquid and roll it to the right diameter. It's just flavor wicking so performance really isn't an issue.

Thank you! Great to know there's something I need for vaping that I don't' have to go out and buy, lol!

When I clean my Kanger heads I replace the original flavor wicks with 2 pieces of 1 mm silica. Works well for me, no flooding and no dry hits.
