Kanger Protank "flooding" (original)

[Drewps5co0tt]

Hey,

I'm writing about my original Kanger Protank (glue free update), I currently have a protank II in the mail to me.

It seems that when the tank gets below half full it starts to drop juice out of the buttom of the 510 connector into your 510 connector on your mod that you are using and you get lots of gurgling, juice spitting at you through the drip tip, low vapor, etc...when you fill it back up to fill the problem goes away. Why is this happening?

Also I've had to remove a few wicks from the head because there seems to be too many wicks in the head and it blocks juice from wetting the coil properly and gives off dry burns on a regular basis (I got this tip from PB on one of this vids.) It must work because I get great vapor by removing a couple of the wicks (I always leave the wicks that are threaded INSIDE of the coil and usually an extra one laying on top of the coil.

Thanks!

P.S. Anyone know if these problems happen with version II of this device? I'm hoping not but since the heads are the same I'm guessing probably so.

Get to Wal-Mart or Michael's and get yourself a ball of Peaches & Creme brand white cotton yarn ($3 or so for 109m ball). Replace your Protank top wick with 2 pieces of this yarn, cut it even with the sides of the head, and your flooding/gurgling problem will be solved.

I had the same problem and tried this out on the advice of other posters here, and the thing is fantastic! I have been vaping more than 24 hours straight, tank after tank, chain vaping, etc, and have not had a single gurgle or flood! It is simply amazing, easy and cheap! Better than a brand new head!

Yes, if I still can find my 1 lb or more cone of this cotton that was in our yarn shop. I could use this for the my T3's or T3s'. You know I am thinking now that when I do some rebuilds or just do a clean I can just throw out the old top wicks..so much cheaper than silica and I have it here(somewhere)

Make sure to get organic cotton so it's free of bleaching chemicals. Pbusardo warns of this in his microcoils video.

I too had the same problem with my PT and followed the advice you guys gave. Now I am back to being a happy camper. I almost gave up on my PT. I loosened the bottom a tad and cut a few strands of my old Iclear 30 head and replaced the flavor wicks. That seemed to do the trick. Thanks for all the helpfull info.
