Put the other coil in it came with also a 2.5 ohm.
Primed it all up... and died from coughing. Like ..., I get excited to vape, read what I use sucks and upgrade it, still sucks. Meanwhile I get my friends on the wave and their cheap setups from the bum tobacco store hit and taste wonderful. Maybe its a sign I shouldnt vape
What were you using before and what eliquid are you using?
Not even a burnt taste, just throat hits.
Before I was using the Ce4 clearomizers. For liquid I use the ones at the local shop, but when this protank came in I bought halo juices so It cant be the juices.

Can't burn a silica wick. Don't know why people keep saying this.
Anything that even looks burnt on a silica wick is just that - burnt ON. You can wash, dry, and dry burn a Silica wick completely clean.
Sounds like either the head was over packed(wicks placed improperly, or an extra flavor wick) or -
The coil in that head has a short and is super heating.(good way to kill an Ego)
This is where a good multimeter comes in handy.
I'd try a new head and save the old one for experimenting.
I recently bought another ProTank Mini 2 and atty heads that came with were 2.5ohms. When I checked it with my tester, both registered close to 3! Since you have VV eGo, I would suggest try increasing the voltage slowly and see if the th reduces.
One thing to clarify. I think people often states "strong" throat hit when it is actually "harsh" throat hit. When I drip, I get the "harsh" throat hit when I flood the deck. Basically, the liquid wasn't vaporizing properly due to lack of heat. Once the flooding is gone, I get the "strong" yet smooth throat hit. So, if you are getting the harsh throat hit, it might be that you aren't supplying enough power to the atty.

Maybe I don't understand your english;
Are you not saying that you are also using a different juice that you usually use?
I hate saying it, but I'm still not sold on it NOT being the juice. If it is indeed harsh throat hit (versus an actual burnt taste), your nic is too high yo.
If it's the throat hit but it's not tasting nasty/burnt I can see two possibilities:
It is the juice. What nic level did you get and what PG/VG ratio? I don't remember off hand what Halo uses but it could just be more PG in it than you can handle.
You have a PT, your friends cheap kits had "other" - probably a CE4. They are very different animals have very different draws, the PT being lighter. It could just be that you aren't used to the different draw from a PT. It can be real easy to suck more off those things than you think you are.
If you are combining high PG liquid with a PT that is very easy to draw... you may need to take a hard look at your vaping technique and change things up. => http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/ecf-library/337017-inhalation-technique-e-cigarette.html
Where are those friends of yours? Can you "borrow" some of that liquid off them that wasn't a problem and try that in the ProTank?
I have the same liquid that they do, So I really do not understand. And guys with the eGo-T you can't adjust anything. It's just a simple manual battery, nothing else
Should I just buy some lower ohm coils? Someone recommended the 1.8 but idk what the ohms actually do
Higher ohms means higher resistance, which vaporizes the liquid a bit slower, making it cooler. For the Protank that would be 2.5 ohms.
Lower ohms makes a hotter, harsher vape, more vapor and stronger flavor, which would be the 1.8 ohms.
I'd suggest higher resistance 2.5 ohms to cool this off.

I'm new to vaping, really this is my first week. I got my Vision spinner and MPT2 on Wednesday... I've been vaping 12mg and 18mg juice in it without too much of an issue... My MPT2 also came with 2 2.5ohm coils, I've been vaping at about 3.8volts and its been pretty good. Every once in awhile I'll get a hit that is rough on my throat, but that just reminds me that I need to take smaller hits. I like how this is hitting enough that I just ordered 10 replacement coils at 2.5ohms.
Now when I started earlier in the week I was using one of my husband's halo tritons and no matter what I did was coughing and gagging on it... took a bit of taking lots of smaller hits before I FINALLY figured out the right way for me to inhale the vapor. After that I haven't had an issue. Now I'm even able to take pretty good size hits if I'm careful of HOW I inhale.
Don't give up on you MPT2, I adore mine and its become my new little friend thats always by my side. Keep at it and you'll get there!

If it's the PG should I go lower? I always see people getting 70/30 so that's what I have. Maybe a switch up? I don't know what the difference between PG and VG are so I just went with the most common setup lol
PG !!!!
It's definitely the pg. Rough isn't it. Some people are more sensitive than others. And plenty of people know about this particular problem. You will wind up with a sore throat and start thinking you'd got a cold coming on. You just have to increase the "VG" ratio in your juice. Or get vg e liquids in future. You'll find most vendors sell high ratio pg solutions. You'll have to do some searching to find a vendor that gives various options. I don't use pg at all. I use 100% Vegetable Glycerine, smooth as silk !.
Trouble with VG is it lacks flavour and throat hit. As it stands i've tried about 2 dozen flavours, all in vg, and only 4 of them have worked out. The nicotine level really doesn't seem to matter as far as throat hit is concerned with vg, meaning it doesn't change the intensity of the throat hit, not in my experience anyway. It mainly comes down to the flavour your vaping. So just buy to try. Get a few 5 mil bottles of various flavours in vg and start working your way through them. You'll find some that work for you eventually. For me menthol works really well, i mean really well. Don't use it much anymore though because i found other flavours that i prefer much, much more. "banana nut bread" another good one in vg. "Cinnamon and sour apple" in vg is great, very strong taste, too strong for some. "Old holborn"(natural extract") in vg, good throat hit. Oh and "honey nut" in vg, again, good throat hit. Always going to be about the flavours. Believe me, a lot of them simply don't work.

that's good to know thanks. And would a little pg hurt like a 30/70 or should I get straight 100? Where do you get your juices?
You might find a little pg might be ok. There are lots of people that do that. like 80vg 20pg or what you said. I'm in England and get my juice from http://www.paradisevapeuk.co.uk/default.asp
When i'm done searching out every flavour i can find in vg, including diy, then i'll start trying out maybe 80/20 or 70/30 mixes, just to see how the throat hit works out. As i said, as far as i know not many vg flavours give a noticeable throat hit. I just need to find the ones that do.
In my previous post i mentioned "old holborn", i actually meant "golden virginia" (natural extract) in vg.

When I want to try higher VG in my eliq, I just add some USP grade glycerine to the bottle.
I`d definately say give the tank a good cleaning, get a new head and switch your PG/VG content around to opposite percentages. I`m fairly new to vaping, but found I like a high PG mix. My girlfriend needs a high PG mix or coughs like crazy. I also found that the sweeter flavors (citrus/fruit) tend to irritate my throat more. As many people say here, you`ll have to find out what works best for you. I`m still in my learning phase, but figuring it out quick. Just do some experimenting and keep at it! Even with all the gear and fluids I`ve been buying lately, I`m still saving so much $ over my cig habit.
This was a very interesting forum posting. From my understanding about PG vs VG, Propylene Glycol (PG) is high in the flavors but produces less vapor, also increases the throat hit. Vegetable Glycol (VG) carries less flavor but is sweeter, produces a lot more vapor (why the guys who blow the huge clouds use high VG juices), and less of a throat hit. It sounds like the high nic high PG liquid might be the culprit. Like one of the other posters mentioned, you can't burn silica wicks, so liquid choice is probably part of the problem. If you have washed out the tank, replaced the atomizers then it shouldn't be hot spots or atomizer problems. Try a 50/50 blend of pg/vg or even a higher VG percentage. Please let us know if that works, I am interested to hear!
