yup.
just wanted to say hello and talk briefly about my protank II experience ,I have been vaping for 6 months, I have been using a protank for about 3 months now, it got me completely of the combustion sticks, (some of us used to actually burn tabaco to get nicotine I was one).
now lets talk protank. I have had my share of frustration with the protank. I have learned all the tricks that help ward off nasty floods and the low airflow effect. I found it best to never use a new coil out of the box , always taking apart the coils and removing the wick atop the coil b4 placing a piece of 2mm silica wick over the coil to prevent flooding. and to improve airflow backing the coil down by turning it about 3/4 a turn clockwise b4 snugging the 510 plate down. this gets the protank working extremely well.but I like to tinker and would never leave well enough alone.
soon I was rebuilding the coils with my own spool of kanthol wire playing with the ohms, going lower and lower trying to make the protank give a better more flavorfull bigger vape, (Please note this was not done with just good intentions, it is very important to know what voltage your battery is putting out and what amps it can carry continuously safely) also I would not recommend anyone alter the design of any device as you are liable to destroy it. so with a protank in one hand and a volt-ohm meter in the other I began making improvements. here is what happened.
I noticed right off that you will make the coil run way to hot in the tiny, poorly ventilated chamber it rests in, right around 1.2 ohms @ 3.7 volts it the taste of the vape goes south. So I grabbed the dremel tool ,put on some safety glasses and carefully removed some material that i deemed to be unnecessary , I made the grooves deeper on the 510 plate and increased the size or the vent holes through the 510 threads significantly.also I increased the size of the notches in the female 510 adapter on the mechanical mod itself, then very carefully increased the bore on the coil chimney and the plug on the positive contact point of the coil assembly as much as I could . there is actualy quite a bit to work with there . after all this the vape was still a little foul with the down to 0.8 Ohm. so i just made coils @ 1.2 and it works very well. then i started playing with pure cotton wick in one of my RBA's. and got to thinking . this would work great in the protank cause it is submerged and it has much better wick-ability then silica.
after all the R&D i have a protank that will pull very big clouds with flavor smooth and silky . the end result is a protank with a 0.75 Ohm coil threaded with cotton to pull the juice fast enough, & ported out airways inside and out . powered by a 4.2-3.5 volt battery in a k100 pulling 5.6 amps peak fresh charge. real nice clouds for the set up , now obviously it is not as nice vape as some drip RBA's pulling more amps, but for a tank set up with 2.5 ml of juice and considering the battery will support heavy vaping for over 6 hours easy, it is a wonderful on the go every day "grocery getter" type contraption I have here.
