I very recently bought a Kanger Pro tank 3 (dual coil) and screwed it on one of my Ego C Twist batteries. It did not really impress me but it was nicer than a lot of others that I have used. After reading about rebuilding micro coils and standard heads on this forum, I decided to convert one of the heads on my new PT3 to single coil. I used 3mm silica wick (I burned it first with a torch lighter) and 32 gauge kanthal. I made 9 wraps and I forgot to used my ohm meter (dammit! LOL) and when dry burned it, it worked great! I loaded up the tank and gave it a few minutes and I must say that I think it works and tastes better than the original. Oh, and I added a piece of 2mm silica wick on top of the head to keep it from leaking and so far there has been none. I just want to give a big thanks to all of you on here. Without this forum I would have never stopped smoking and I would have never learned all of these fun, money saving tricks and tips! I think I will rebuild the next one with 30 and see if I like it better. What do you folks think?
My first PT3 rebuild.

One more point, I tried it out on an old, cheap Tsunami 650 battery at first and it was hitting better than a lot of my ce5's!
I rebuild all of those style heads (I have several different clearos that all use those heads), with 30GA @ 1.5-1.8 ohms, and with cotton wicks. Quite happy with them.
Congratulations on discovering something fun and new!

How did you take the atomizer apart, dknight? I hate my PT3, it pops and crackles (more than normal) and it seems the coils are the problem. I would like to add more wicking to it, but I haven't the slightest clue how to take them apart. And from others' accounts about the PT3 on here, it seems nearly impossible.
I watched a youtube video on how to rebuild them. It showed how to rebuild dual coils but I just made mine a single coil. They come apart pretty much the same way as the CE5 heads that I have rebuilt. As for taking apart the atomizer, you just have to unscrew the top.
One more point, while the PT3 isn't as easy as my Vivinovas in the rebuild department, they aren't hard either. You just need to be patient with them and you will do fine.
