3 things you can do.
1. get 1.8 ohm replacement coils (you did not say which one you have).
2. Get twist battery, where you can adjust your voltage (itaste vv v3 or mvp would be better).
3. add VG to your liquid.
Ask away if you don't understand.
Cheers

The MPT2 often comes with 2.5 ohm coils. Using lower resistance coils might give you a stronger throat hit. Kanger sells 1.8 and 2.2 ohm replacement coils in addition to the 2.5 ones. I think a 5-pack goes for around $6.
I thought PG is the component that contributes to throat hit? VG is for more vapor, right?
Yeah, crank up your voltage with a ego twist or vision spinner OR a devise like a vamo where you can vape in watts rather than volts. I like my vamo for that reason. It's set to watts so it doesn't matter what the resistance on the tank is. I think it's the PG that gives the better throat hit and VG gives more vapor.
Phil Busardo likes some 100% VG juices - which are very thick and viscous. I wouldn't take out the flavor wicks unless you're getting dry hits. Even he says to try it before you remove the flavor wicks, but whatever works for you...
Thanks everyone. It comes with the 2.2 ohm coils, so I will try the 1.8 ohm next time. I am planning on ordering the Vision Spinner 1300 mah, when I next purchase more e-liquid.
Can you please elaborate on what PG/VG is? Sorry, I have read topics, but there is a vast array of information.
Thank you! You are all so kind.

- Pg - Propylene glycol. Used in asthma inhalers. Stronger carrier of flavoring agents, not much vapor production. Gives a little more throat hit than Vg. Rarely causes sensitivity or allergy symptoms.
- Vg - Vegetable glycerin. Used as a sweetener in many food products. Used in the fog machines at concerts. Not as good a carrier of flavoring agents, but makes more vapor. Not much throat hit.

Increasing the nicotine concentration in the e-liquid will have the largest effect in increasing throat hit. Next lower resistance coils, and lastly a higher Pg ratio in the e-liquid.

The 1300 spinners are really long. Since you already have a battery, you might consider a Innokin MVP2? I don't own one, but many people here like it.

You'll just have to be careful that it doesn't start leaking after removing the flavor wick. THis does sometimes happen...

I still haven't figured this out.
On some coils I couldn't get them to stop leaking unless I took out the flavor wicks and others leaked like a siv when I did. Hmmm
Another suggestion I didn't see mentioned is either:
A. Covering up one of the air holes with your finger when you take a puff
B. Plugging one of the air holes with a toothpick and breaking it off, wax, or some other substance.
The air holes are on the collar on the bottom. I just use my finger personally, no point in mucking something up that cannot be undone but if you find you always have to put your finger over an air hole, permanently plugging it is an option.
Just don't cover more than one, these need air flow to work properly and choking it will have adverser results.
p.s. I personally have never taken out flavor wicks or removed or changed around silicone.......never seems to work for me and seems to create other issues.
EDIT: some of these fixes work 40% of the time or less so they technically work but they don't really work.

I have a Vision Spinner 1300mAH, really appreciate it. Because of the mAH level, it lasts the day for me. I dropped down to 1.8 ohm coils on the PT2 Mini and recently ordered more juice with 80/20 PG/VG ratio. Also, its common sense that if there is less air, the initial intake of the vape will be hotter and harsher.
Hopefully, its a step forward.

Thank you everyone; I am researching. You have all been a valuable source of help. So far, so good; my mum hasn't touched her analogues since the Protank Mini II arrived (4 hours!) and has no desire for them. Will definitely look into all the options explored.
I'll also vouch for 1.8ohm coils on the Mini ProTank2. Didn't care of the ones it came with but I keep them around as spares.
I just cut a tiny piece of black electrical tape and put it over one of the holes... it actually looks okay and is easy to remove/replace.
