Mini protank II issues

[Kiwiboo]

So, i have three of these from FT. Only one was perfect out of the box. I am running it on an EGO C 900mah and an Evod 650 mah, no problems.

With the other two, i took em apart, cleaned em, checked the seals/gaskets reassembled....nothing. Changed the coils (1.5ohm). Nothing.

any ideas? Attached a pic.

Probably bad coils. Take the coil out of the one that works and put in one that doesn't. See it if works. It so, bad coils will need to be replaced.

been lots of reports of bad coils. You may have gotten a bad batch

Sometimes the center pin in the connector gets pushed in and doesn't connect. Take a small screwdriver and nudge out the center pin a touch and see.

Are those authentic Kanger tanks?

 

[Kiwiboo]

Yes they are authentic tanks.....and I do believe the coils might be the issue but two out of three? Thats a bit extreme no? Please explain the centre pin out with a screwdriver? Thanx

Is that with a 510/eGo adapter in the picture?
Try without the adapter?

Chances are it is a center pin issue; maybe the atomizer is not screwed in enough or the battery center pin is pressed in.

With a full mod like a vamo, sid, svd, zmax etc you'd see on the screen whether you had a short or whether the apv was even seeing the atomizer.

With just the battery, to figure out if the coil is fireing you can hold it up to your ear and fire the coil and listen for the sound of it

No adaptor.....The other coils arent firing so being I already changed them I am thinking I got a crap batch of coils ( 5 pack ). Thanx everyone

I'd check those coils with a multimeter.

Anyway there is something wierd about that picture.

The I can see the eGo threads on the battery but the miniprotank uses those eGo threads so it seems to me there's a 510-to-510/eGo adapter sitting on top the battery and the miniprotank is screwed onto the adapter.

Yeah.I noticed that too. Maybe ditch the adapter. Could be bad coils as well. I've noticed about half of the ones I've been getting lately are DOA.

With the adapter on there it would seem like there's no way for the atty to contact the battery

That doesn't look anything like my Kanger Mini Protank 2?? Is that a Mini Aerotank clone?

 

[ckquatt]

Agreed! That doesnt look like any protank base ive ever seen. I know when I accidently leave the ego/510 adapter on my ohm meter it wont register ohms, so that could be the problem.

 

[granolaboy]

+1 That doesn't look like my KPT2 Mini's either...

The pin on the tank is the positive connection and the outter ring (which seems to be missing from the tank you have pictured) is the negative connection. both need to be connected for the electricity to flow. It is not assembled in the package you recieve from Kanger and needs to be. Is it possible you did noit recive the outter ring? See my pics as to what ot should look like.
