After having it for 3 weeks or so, I am unimpressed. I find myself switching to my old ViVi nova. It burns and mutes every flavor, and floods too often. I like 80pg 20 VG... Has anyone else experienced this?

I have had my protank since May 1 and use it on am 18650 mod. I love it, never had it flood or leak, great flavor. Still on the first head. Was vaping about 1.5-2 tanks a day. Only thing that is odd is at hotter heats it pops. I have slow down to 3/4 to 1 tank a day, only because because I started adding to my daily vaping some fruit flavors, and vape those with my ego and evod. So I use the protank for my all day flavor that I have not changed in 2+ months, and other flavors I use my ego/EVOD.
My experience with Kanger tanks:
T3 - leaked 2-3 time per tank filling - bought 1
MT3 - leaked 2-3 time per tank filling - bought 1
EVOD (I have 4) - none have ever leaked)
Protank - never leaked

PS: I mix at 6mg - 75pg/22.5vg/2.5%H2O, just changing my base to 85PG/13.5VG/1.5%H2O, so it will be a week or so before I start vape at 85/15
Have had my protank now for about 3 weeks and have been very satified with it but I have noticed it seems that thinner juices tend to leak more with it. The cause of the leaking I believe to be is the condensation. After cleaning and filling my tank it works well for about 1/2 to 3/4 of the juice then starts the gurgling flooding and leaking but I have discovered how to fix it. Imo what seems to be happening is that the condensation builds up until it gets to the point where it starts getting back down into the coil head and once this happens it seems to have a siphoning effect. It seems the condensation floods the coil then starts coming out the bottom air vents and this seems to create a path for liquid to flow more easily and causes the juice to be able to flow through the head and out the bottom. BUT once I remove the base and clean all the condensation out and blow through the coil head to remove liquid build up there it seems to work good again for about another 1/2 to 3/4 of a tank. Although this process is annoying I still use my protank daily mainly bc it will handle any liquid amongst other reasons.
I think the pros outweigh the cons on this tank
Also really like the evods I currently have 5 with no problems
T3 leaked like crazy and never functioned properly
Anxious to try the T3S bc the coil and base are assembled like the evod&protank hopefully it will solve the leaking issue

There was a lot of talk with the T3 that if they did not have a good seal on the mouth piece o-ring or there was nor enough wick in the head they would leak. Just wondering if there is an o-ring seal problem.
Also, if I vape over 7 watts with my old faithfull juice the flavor drops off.

I have 2, both have been great, some condensation build up after a bit but no leaks. I run 50/50 mostly thru them, no problems at all that I can think of.
That being said there has been a ton of talk about the "airiness" of the Protank muting out flavor. I personally use eVod coils in mine, tightens the draw a little, enough for me anyway.

If you pull all the vapor out of it the condensation dose not build up as bad in the air tube.
Started rebuilding my heads with 32ga kanthal and cotton ball. More flavor and vapor then the stock heads, wicks perfect and no leaks. Also no flavor wicks, just Cotton through the coil. My coils are wrapped on a screw, 5 wraps I think and come out at 2.4ohms

I really don't understand this. My protank has literally been PERFECT. not one issue. Yes, it has a VERY open draw but I'm a genesis RBA/Hybrid fan so I'm use to an open draw (Honestly, if you're getting a good vape why does the draw matter?).
My protank has been working so perfect that I honestly think these leaking issues are user-error.
EDIT: Maybe you guys having problems got sent a replica protank and not a real Protank?
Everyone having problems: where did you order your protank from?

Well mine exploded on me yesterday! 
It worked perfectly until the explosion.....which happened as it mysteriously ended up from my pocket onto the concrete. Its a defect! At least I still have 1 left and now 2 more on the way.

If they could just make a wrap for them, bubble wrap maybe, that defect would be a thing of the past!
Sorry to hear of your loss, Max, I haven't bought the Protank yet because I am clumsy. Maybe if my mod was square and not prone to rolling off of whatever flat surface I have laid it down on. . .

Yeah the glass has actually survived a few falls and is pretty good. Can't expect it to survive hitting the concrete though. There is a mod that uses the base and head from the protank but has a Stainless Steel body and lets you use any drip tip you want if you think it will break easily on you. I like the look of the Protank since it matches my battery but not a bad alternative.
