Kanger Protank with Vamo v2 question...

[jg1986]

Hello again, I just purchased a protank for my vamo. I am loving it so far, but I do have a question. When the tank is threaded onto the vamo, I do not tighten it down all the way because I have heard that could cause issues on the vamo. I tighten it just enough to where it doesn't wobble. I notice that when I am vaping sometimes vapor will escape from where the tank meets the vamo. I know that there are 3 air holes in the threads on the protank. I have watched a vew reviews on the protank and I don't notice this issue on any of the videos. I don't know if I should tighten then tank a bit more.

If anyone has had this happen, or if anyone knows if this is normal, please give me some direction.

I, also, have a vivi nova tank and have used that on the vamo, and it didn't do this.

It's normal. Only happens to me if I do an uneven draw. For good airflow, like the protank has, it can go both ways freely.

Welcome , but with the Vamo especially , but really with all PV's , You shound only screw down your device , until contact is made . Any tighter can cause troubles .

If your pro-tank came with a beauty ring you can screw that on your vamo first and then screw the tank on. By setting the beauty ring just right, you can have the tank tighten on to it instead of the thread on the vamo. This also gives a more stable setup (no wobble) and a slightly tighter draw (IMHO not a bad thing on a protank)

Forgot to add that my pro-tank smokes like a sailor when I release the draw - if I blow back through it. I usually release the button on the vamo slightly before I finish drawing so I get that little bit for free (not really, but you know what I mean)

Right, I don't screw it it on completely. Once I feel resistance, I give another 1/8 t0 1/4 turn to make sure theres no wobble, and I'm good to go. I was just asking to make sure I was screwing it on enough. I thought maybe the vent holes above the 510 threads weren't completely covered. Thanks for the info.

I thought about trying the beauty ring that way. I never did do it though. I will try it as soon as I get home. Thanks.

OK I just got home and double-checked - the beauty ring I have on is actually one I purchased from https://www.myvaporstore.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=EGO-CDCT - the one from the pro-tank doesn't screw in far enough to allow the tank to make a good connection due to its flare.
Sorry for the confusion.

A sleeve will fit. Some will not screw all the way down but it will keep you from over-tightening.

I have a Vamo as well and it smokes a lot no matter what I use. It has good airflow.. I enjoy it.

the kangers in general work better with the vamo I've noticed if I put it on my evic the draw is extremely tight unless I unscrew it to the point that it wobbles

I'm glad you corrected that i tried to put the Kanger beauty ring on a couple of days ago and had a heck of a time getting it out of the well.

are you talking about the ring that screws onto the ego threads so it looks better with a 510 battery? You cant put those on a Vamo because it doesnt have the outer threading.

^ maybe it just acts as a spacer so the bottom of the tank has something to sit flush on.

i was wondering this earlier today as my protank only worked when screwed out a bit but it was wobby. i def did not want to carry my vamo with a 3/4 threaded tank on. i eventually found a thread that recommended a plastic washer so i made one out of a water bottle cap and haven't had the ohm error since. another recommendation was to use a rubber o-ring seen here

The V2 has eGo threading inside of the well (supposedly), but none of my stuff seems to fit on it quite right. Although I don't have very many eGo threaded devices.

Ive got what was being sold as the V2 with the corrected spring, and it only has the inner 510 threading, the outer ring where the cone would screw on is just flat...maybe they sent me a V1 and switched the spring, I dunno lol

I don't know either, I haven't had the Vamo for very long. I was under the impression it had eGo threading, but when you posted it didn't, I went to look at the specs. It says it does, but I honestly can't see or feel them. I can screw some of my CE4 clones on, but they don't all fit. Whatever it has, none of my thread covers fit because the well is so deep.

I can put (and use) CE5's, T3 / EVOD on my vamo with no problems. I am sure there are clones of clones of clones out there - but one thing for sure, even if the pro-tank beauty ring does fit on your threads, it won't help because it won't screw far enough down into the thread because it has like a trumpet flair.

The beauty ring I have on there is a straight sided one and fits all the way in to the recess so I can then screw my protank on and tighten it down to the beauty ring and not the vamo thread. I'll try to get a picture up later so I can show what I mean.

Beauty ring on left is the one I purchased from my vapor store. One on right is standard beauty ring that came with pro-tank.

Pro-tank screws down onto the ring. You can just see it between the bottom of the tank and the top of the vamo.

oh ok...yeah my Vamo doesnt have outer threading there...I dont even know what purpose there would be to putting it there when theres an outer rim for the juice well that covers where the cone or beauty ring would go?

 

[InTheShade]

It just makes the pro-tank a little more stable on the 510 thread, and it allows me to tighten to the beauty ring instead of the thread - I've heard of people breaking their APV's by over-tightening and I think this will prevent this.
It also tightens the draw up a notch on the pro-tank...

That said, it's a pain when I want to use my EVOD on the vamo, I have to take that little beauty ring off, and it's a bit tricky.

I figured it out after trying for a bit to screw the beauty ring that came with the protank in there. The flare was stopping it. I went to my local vape store and picked up the beauty ring with no flare like the one you have. My problem now is my tank is not sitting square on the vamo. I screwed the ring in just enough so the tank hits the connection but avoids over tightening. The tank sits at an angle. Not much of an angle but I notice it and it kinda drives me crazy. It almost looks like the tank is cross threaded, but it's not. I have tried unscrewing the ring and re screwing it on. Does yours seem to sit a little crooked with the sleeve?
