Kanger ProTank Review

[Bosman]

I have been using ProTank for two days now and I like it. Having used Vivi Nova previously, I do agree ProTank's draw is very light, almost too light. Right away I have removed one wick - I was getting dry hits at 80PG/20VG liquid @4V with 2.6 Ohm coil resistance.
My personal complaints on the tank so far:
- I am experiencing leaking when down to a about 15% capacity. I know it sounds strange, but I think it has to do with the fact liquid gets very warm and starts to thin
- I seem to get a small stream of liquid flowing out of the air shaft after refilling to full capacity

Other than that, works great, looks absolutely fabulous, flavour very much comparable with Vivi but same liquid does taste different between the two tanks.

I got 2 of these yesterday, one is leaking like crazy from the bottom, I tried a new coil wick but same problem. The other unit works perfect. Has anyone else had this problem??
Suggestions anyone

Open it up, and make sure the coil itself is screwed down tightly into the threading of the base (the flat part with the screw I Mean). If not, it will leak.

Thanks, but it is not leaking from the top, leaking at the 510 connection

Not having the inner coil screwed down tight, would result in leaking from the 510 connection.

fyi i just tried screwing an evod coil in. Same threads and it fits fine. Does result in a tighter draw if you're into that.

anyone if the replacement coils are available anywhere yet?

I am expecting one of these also, as soon as it gets out of customs I guess. So I had the same question. What do you use for replacement heads?

I've already had one "pop". I plan on just rebuilding these. My understanding though, is that replacements are coming soon and they appear to be pretty inexpensive. That's nice.

On the left is the Protank head, on the right is the eVod head (removed from the ego skirt portion).

Not quite the same but does work just fine. Although, I can see a potential for gurgling/leaking problems with the shorter air tube.

**EDIT for update**

The air tubes from the Protank can be pressed into the eVod head making them essentially identical. I'm using one right now with a silica/mesh hybrid wick, and so far so good. Will update if it leaks or gurgles.

Evod head worked fine for me too (without swapping the top tube even.)

You mentioned you didn't like the flavor on the stock wick, did you like it better with the mesh?

Not really. I think it is more the airyness of the draw than the wick material... I'll keep playing with it.

Just upload a quick vid on changing heads using the eVod

I've been using mine for over a week now and it is working perfect and has replaced my Vivi Novas, Vapeonly BCC and my innokin i30. Mine has worked great right out of the box and is the tank I've been waiting for. I still use the Evod with my ego type PVs but the Protank will be my main vape hopefully from now on.

Good stuff, thanks for the vid!

FYI...................iVAPE.net has the protank in stock but they are out of the replacement coils.

I added a silicone ring to the bottom of the protank. Not sure if I should have or not as I don't know how much airflow if any it allows. Makes for a much tighter draw though which I like and it is oretty quiet now so it does not sound like I have a rattle snake right beside me either which is a plus. I was on the verge of tossing this thing out the window. The taste for me is no better than my vivi Nova though so that is a little disappointing. I did take one of the wicks out and not sure if that made the favor more muted. I probably should have tried it before I took a wick out first.
Anyway...
Here is what I did

got it from some tops I ordered an di just cut the long connector off and used the ring

Honestly I am a bit disappointed but ONLY because it sound alike a lawn mower when all I really want is some silence while I enjoy my evening vape

I'll gladly send you a self-addressed-stamped envelope with a crisp $10 bill in exchange for that faulty, noisy lump of glass and metal.

Haha, I might take you up on that. Going to give it a few more days and see if it wears on me

So is it safe for me to do this and cover up the air flow? When I have it like this I like it so much better but wanted to make sure

P.S. I wasn't kidding.
