I bought 5 new 2.5 ohm coils for my protank mini 2 because the two that came with it fried after 2 weeks each which ohms were 2.2 and I had no problems with them. But when I switched into the same coils just 2.5 ohms , I noticed each drag I didn't taste anything , it tasted burnt so I took the tank off to see if the coil was burnt all ready but it was just dry , it is dry even though my tank is full.. Why isn't the liquid coming down and filling the coil.... And every time I fill the tank I prime both wicks by dropping a drop on each wick before I screw it in. So I don't know why it doesn't fill the coil on its own. And the tank isn't upside down ever so there is no reason for the liquid to not fall into the coil and fill the wicks.. It's a weird problem..
Kanger protank mini 2 weird problem..

I had that happen too. Now I build my own coils with cotton yarn (2 ohms - my pref). After putting them in I put a drop of ejuice on each end, install it on the tanks and let it sit for a few minutes. No problems since.

Yeah I don't wanna go and mess with buildin my own coil. I don't get why the liquid doesn't flow down and fill them since it's all open.. Can anyone help haha.
You could try popping the tube off the head and remove the small flavor wicks that sit on top of the coil. Just use some tweezers and pop them out. This may cause flooding the coil with too much fluid but if it's not wicking right now, it may be just right without the flavor wicks.
there official kanger. They came in the aluminum popout container.
can you give me more of a explanation? I'm new to breaking down a coil and rebuilding I don't wanna break it. I don't get why a brand new coil would need to be broken down and fixed if I just used it like 2 tanks full
You can also prime your coils by dripping 2-3 drops down the center tube of the coil, not the tank part and wait a few minutes then install into your filled tank and take a few primer puffs. Give this a try and see if it works.
Troubleshooting 101:
If your clearo is flooding, the connections are not tight enough--or too tight. Keep reading.
If you're using clearos and getting a burnt taste it means that not enough juice is getting to the coil and you're basically vaping dry, hot air or inhaling smoke from the gunk that's burning off of your coil. Not a good thing. Another case of bad taste maybe the tank itself--some arrive covered with some kind of nasty grease; wash them with soap and water (just the tanks--soak the coils in PGA or vodka).
There are a few things you need to remember when using a T3 or an eVod or a ProTank--in addition to keeping your coils clean and free of gunk that accumulates on them.
1) Make sure that the atomizer coil is screwed into the base tightly--every time you refill; they often come not fully tightened from the manufacturer, or may have gotten loose through repeated refills.
2) Look at all the inner seals and gaskets to make sure they haven't become dislodged.
3) Make sure that you screw the tank into its base tightly. If it's not tight, it will leak.
4) When you screw your clearomizer into your battery, do not overtighten--screw it in only until it makes contact--no farther, or you may push the center post in too deep and cause all kinds of problems, including leaking. When the draw becomes tight or the taste and vapor production begin to diminish, replace the coil. This will happen sooner (even as soon as one day of heavy use) if you're using dark, viscous, or very sweet juices. The old coil can be cleaned and dry burned.
5) Make sure you're not getting any juice in the center tube when you're filling--this will cause your eVod to leak like a sieve. If some juice gets into the tube, close the top cap, place a tissue under your tank and blow gently through the clearomizer to get rid of any excess eliquid. Also, extra condensation inside the tank may, on some occasions, drip back into the center tube. Wipe your mouthpiece dry with a q-tip or a tissue when you refill (or more often when/if needed).
6) Take an occasional "primer puff" (a slow draw without activating the battery) when you vape. It helps move the juice into the coil chamber and removes any air bubbles that sometimes form in the tank and may cause gurgling or impede proper wicking.
7) Take slow long draws rather than sharp and quick ones like we used to do while smoking cigarettes. Do not over vape, chain vape, power vape. Let the juice travel to the coil between drags.
and last but not least
8) Do not remove any flavor wicks if you're experiencing any leaking or flooding. Those wicks are there for a reason. If you feel that you have to remove a wick because your eliquid is particularly thick, do it carefully--one strand at a time. If your liquid is super thin, you can thicken it with a bit of VG (USP--pharma grade) or you can add another strand of cotton to your flavor wick. Don't add too much or you'll choke your atomizer and get a dry hit.
Also, make sure you're vaping at correct wattages; I like 5.5-7 watts.

From experience i can say protank mini can have wicking issues with high vg juice. Too thick.
Could, also, try turning the rubber grommet up side down. If you have a vv/vw mod/battery, check your settings. Volts,Ohms & Watts
Good luck and Happy Vaping!!
