Kanger Protank Flavor Wicks

[HDVaper]

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

Bump.......

Just eyeballing it compared to the 2mm wick I have for my rba, I'd say the flavor wick is 1mm. That was with my 1.5x reading glasses on

I plucked 2 strands of the flavor wick off with a tweezer as it is to stop the dry hits.

Here's the data:

Road House is right; it's 1mm.

You can buy good quality rope silica here:
Silica Wick

vapoligy has silica a little cheaper than the list above and I think the flavor wicks are 1.5mm. You really should try rebuilding because it's really simple. I was reluctant at first but once I did one I wish I would have rebuilt sooner. I used to run my coils into the ground and put up with bad taste because I'm cheap, but now that I rebuild I change coils at the first sign of trouble.

I rebuilt my first one last night, it was really easy, I need a bit more practice, but I ended up with a 1.8 ohm coil, and it works fine. I used 3mm silica wick, and 32 gage ra kanthal wire.

I rebuild mine with microcoils and cotton. I simply just use enough flavor wick to keep the slots from leaking.

I re-build my KangerTech ProTank heads with 32ga Kanthal 6 wraps onto a 2-56 machine screw (makes a perfect coil) then two 1mm silica rope wicks thru the coil and two 1mm wicks on top of the coil ("flavor wicks"). Works great - no gurgling, plenty of vape, and tightens up the draw somewhat.

I've been reading/viewing that a S.S. mesh wick works wonders for a kanger Going to give that a try.
