Kanger protank rebuild

[CandyTX]

Picked some up for a roast lovely wife made, had to ask at as it's not easy to find, but think it was near their utensils. I use a #2 sewing needle to wrap it like the OP, tried without it but the coil is too tight and burns thru. You can separate the strands to get whatever thickness you want. I find cotton has a slightly different taste then silica, perhaps cleaner I dunno... But was concerned about silica fragments when examining used wicks under a magnifying glass.

Awesome, thanks for the shove in the right direction. Seriously appreciate it. Saved me from myself

Thanks for the tips too. Good to know about dry burning. I would have tried it

Me: "Hey, when you stop by HEB, grab some butcher string."

Hubby: "What's that and why?"

Me: "I need it to build my own coils and wicks and stuff."

Hubby: "... and why are you doing that?"

Me: "Because I can."

Hubby:

And if u can't find it & are real frugal, just ask the butcher shop, they'll probably give u a few feet for the asking. Seeing the size needed on the kangers, that should last 5 years.

I want that little bitty turtle, it's so cute!!! lol, Well FM, when my stuff comes in you better be round cause I'm gonna be bugging you to bits hehehehehe

Feel free. I'd be happy to help.

Oh and do you like the paper clip or the screw method...somehow that just doesn't sound right lmao

I like the paper clip (I used a sewing needle...same effect) method. I don't like the idea of having to thread silica wick through a pre-coiled wire. I imagine the fiber ends would catch and snag on the wire.

I also like the coil wire to be in direct contact with the silica wick. Gaps between the coil and wick can cause odd flavors and burning e-juice.

Okay, remember me when I ask this question K.I.S.S lol. I use a Spinner, what ohm should I be getting from my coils?

1.8-2.8 range would be good I'd think, never had a Spinner though.

 

[AngelsBreath]

Actually the better question is what ohm I should be using with my spinners.

 

[AngelsBreath]

Hi Eric, it goes up to a voltage of 4.8 I think, does that help?

 

[AngelsBreath]

And how many wraps for a 2.2 ohm? lol Yes, I'm blonde, really lol

I usually do like 5 wraps and I get 2.0 which would work good on your set up.

Btw I used to live in AL.. Boaz/Guntersville area and also near Gulf Shores.

lol the funny thing is I have wire and wick on the way to me right now and I haven't got a clue what the poo I'm doing lmao

 

[AngelsBreath]

Cool, and then you ran away to Texas huh? lol It's not so bad here, I can pretty much vape wherever I want to, ANTZ don't usually mess with the really Southern states...too much red for them lmao.

Lol it's easy once you get the hang of it

It's fun doing it yourself plus you save some money.

Well, I have 1 Evod and I actually like it...as a backup, I would like to rewick that one as well.

The evod and protank heads are pretty identical so once you get one down you're good on the other

I actually use the evod heads in the protank for a tighter draw.

 

[AngelsBreath]

Well, I can see me messing a bunch of them up lmao cause I have no idea what I'm doing but hey...I have an ohm reader roflmao

It literally took me about 10 times before I got one to work,I was going to give up seriously but once I got a good one they rolled from there.I Do a lot of the vivi nova heads and they are a little easier than the Kanger bottom coil ones,Glad I saved all my Nova heads cause its great to create a new one when needed,And seriously Using cotton yarn on those really produce some of the best tastiest vapes from any tank I have.The one I just rebuilt is a vape monster.If you have any vivi heads, practice with them.

 

[Butters78]

I started with rebuilding vivis.

 

[Steve K]

I just noticed the Kanger Pro-Tanks look easier than the T3,The rubber grommet is harder to put back in on the T3.On the Pro Tank it is on the outside which is great.

Where is the best place to get cotton wicks/yarn etc that don't have dyes in it. Also is there a certain size you need? Do you replicate the number of cotton wicks in a vivi that uses silica
