I use my ProTank 2's and Davides regularly with an air flow controller on MVP's, Cool Fire IV's, iStick 30 watt, Subox mini, ProVari mini's, VaporShark rDNA30 and the Radius. Rebuild my coils with 30 Kanthal (1.5 to 1.8 ohms) and cellu cotton wicking. No leaking at any time with either the mini or regular size ProTanks. :)

That was the first tank I got and I still use them. You can't use them over about 12W which I think means any mod out there will work. If you want something cheap and simple get a Spinner. It's worth learning how to rebuild the coils yourself. Lots of YouTube videos on how to do that. Replacement coils are expensive and not very good.

I have a handful of these I use regularly. Like ChooChooGranny, I rebuild my heads. Have been for about 18 months. Use air flow controllers. I think great for a mech because you probably won't subohm, so battery draw won't be excessive. Only time one leaked was when I didn't have quite enough wick in my coil.

I'm going to build a few coils with SS316L, just because!

Don't expect to fill a room with klowdz, but it's an enjoyable vape

DingerCPA, will the SS316L have a sharper, cleaner taste or is it that the coil will last longer? :) Oh, and what guage? .......Was kinda thinkin' 'bout it too. Ha!

I'm just now starting to build with the 316L. Supposedly coil should last longer. I only have 28g for now. I did order some SS Clapton for my RDAS!

It builds a little lower than 28g kanthal, so a bit more wraps for same resistance, I believe

I'll try to let you know my experience when I get a PT 2 head biult :)

    With the standard coils and airflow you need a mod that will go down to 5 watts, about 3.4-3.5 V with 2.2 ohms and 3.2-3.3 with the 1.8's. For the fullsize PT2 you need a 510 connection and for the Mini you need an eGo connector, e.g. a VV stick such as a Spinner. Excellent MTL tank for appropriate ejuices.

    To this day I'll still get wild and throw my PT2 with a coil rebuild at 1.5Ω and airflow control on my istick 20w and go nuts. It was the setup that truly got me into vaping after a let down from EVODs
    Just like the old saying "if it ain't broke don't fix it"

    The mini ProTank 2 without their base will screw onto the air flow controllers for regular sized PT2's as well as the PT2's standard bases. Shorter and stair step look. Screw on an extension ring adapter and you can use the Aspire Replacement BVC's (non-Nautilus) for both regular and mini PT2's. :)

    I do the same for my reg. sized and mini Davides.

    Well blow me down. You learn something new every day. Those PT air flows are better than the ones they sell for mini's. Plus they will catch leaks before they get onto the mod. And it means you can use the mini's on a 510. It works the other way round too.

    I guess it was obvious but it never occurred to me to try it.

    They do look a little odd, but I'm too old to suffer from vanity.

    Thanks for the tip !
