Looking for info on Joytech E-Go C with Kanger Protank 2 mini

[Brandon1000]

Hello all,

I'm looking into doing my own coil rebuilds for the Kangertech Protank 2 mini and using the steam engine calculator for coil wrapping.

First question: What's the lowest OHM I should use with the JoyTech E-Go C battery I can't seem to find the maximum amp output for it anywhere or the OHM limit for it.

Second question: What Leg length would I use for the KangerTech Protank 2, not sure what it is.

Third question: What gauge wire should I use (I was looking at using between 28 and 32).

Last question: Is there a place I can get 2mm and 1mm cotton wicks so I don't have to mess with making my own?

Thanks ahead of time for the help!

the amp limit depends on the MAH of the battery. if you're using a 1000MAH battery i wouldn't go past 2 amps. i would shoot for the same ohms as the original coil was, that being 1.8ohm or 2.5omhs? and if you are new to building coils i wound't suggest trying to build your first coil in a protank( so little space and finicky) i'v been building coils for a long time and i still wouldn't bother with it. if you are determined to rebuild it however, there are some great youtubers who have step by step rebuilds. i would suggest RiP Trippers. and as for the wicking question most of us just make our own with cotton balls but i have heard of some people using organic cotton yarn, but i haven't tried it myself. good luck on your adventure!

Protank coils are pretty easy to build. First, you should have an ohms meter. I use 30ga or 32ga wire. With 30ga, about 7 wraps on a 1/16" drill bit. With 32ga I think it is about 5-6 wraps. My target is 1.8 ohms.

The reason for the 1/16" drill bit is that that size will fit in the slots where the coil goes so that I can hold the coil in place while I fiddle with the legs.

Then I wick with a bit of cotton. Easy Peasy.

I wrap my kanger heads with 28ga wire, about three to four wraps makes 1.0-1.5ohm, wrap them around my cotton and a sewing needle, leave the legs long till you have the head back together. Trim off the excess legs and test your ohms with a meter, easy money for the Uber Kanger!

Got an old protank one, built at one ohm hit it at 22 watts and it hits like a beast for a little single coil Kanger

Thanks everyone I think I'll use 30g wire to start with and maybe cotton yarn if I can find it since I feel it would be easier to work with Going to look at the RiP trippers video I pulled on of the coils it came with (the 2.2 ohm coil) and screwed with it a bit. Seems easy enough to do as long as you've got enough wire to work with.

Hi Brandon. If you really want to become a master coil builder, I recommend this thread:

It's long, but you don't have to read every single post.

Welcome aboard!

I rebuild all my MPT2 coils with 30g, 1/16th drill bit, 8 wraps. Put's me at 1.8 ohms usually. I wouldn't go below 1.5 if using a spinner. Just a reference to help you out.

A bit late, got 30g kanthan and 1.5mm drill bit and 2.0mm drill bit So I'll give it a go with them thanks everyone for the help!
