Pro tank question

[glowplug]

Hi folks! I am new to the forum so I can only post here. I have a Pro tank and love it for capacity but do not like the vape - so airy. I am going to try the evod coils. I have read that they give a better vape. Also, I have one heck of a time with my battery. Using both the ego U and the evod batteries and I have to back off the threads of the Pro tank in order to get a vape. Otherwise, if I tighten them all the way, the battery flashes and then lights up steadily and there is no vape. This is a constant issue. One or two good vapes and then it will just stop putting out much of anything until I fiddle with it again. Any help? I know this probably should be on another thread, but I am new and have to post here for the first 5 posts!

If you screw the pro tank to your mod and then put a hair tie at the base where it meets the mod it really tightens up the draw. I read that on here a while back and gave it a go and made a world of difference.

Just got mine in the vapemail today, and was thinking the same thing. Saw in the reviews where it might be a little light, but the clearos that I've been using give me a headache I have to draw so hard. The hair tie idea is a great MacGyverism.. I'll have to give that a shot. Now I just have to resist ordering 3 more...

sorry to be dense but by "hair tie" are you talking about a ponytail holder? I am confused. Lately I live in the state of Confusion. I think my brain doesn't know what to do with all the oxygen it gets now that it isn't clogged with the 1000s of chemicals from analogs! I am picturing a "scrunchy" wrapped around the air holes in the Pro Tank. It might look a bit goofy, but there are lots of colors to choose from!

Also, I am using the eGo U battery with my Pro Tank with the adapter. Don't guess that would make any difference, though.

If you tighten Protank to much, you will push central contact into battery and cause shorting. Tigten it gently, just to make contact and then unscrew the cone to support the tank.

I'm not completely sure with the batteries you mentioned, but a flashing or steady light may indicate a short. During manufacturing (or rebuilding) the positive coil lead in the EVOD and Protank head is bent over the bottom of the insulator gasket before the bottom post is pushed in. If that lead is sticking out, it may contact the side of the base, causing a short. It will be aggravated by tightening or even wiggling, which causes the gasket to be compressed.

Take the head out and turn it between your fingers. If you feel sharp metal sticking out, try to push it back in flush with the gasket. You can also use a pair of fingernail clippers to trim it (thanks to heateris for that suggestion).

I have had problems with the protank striping the threads in my ego's, has anybody had the sam problems???

I found that if over tighten the base of the Pro Tank { where tank and base meet ) it will not work so I leave it somewhat loose
As for the air draw I use the silicone protector that comes on top of the tank and cut it to fit inside the of the Beauty Ring .
if I tighten up the Beauty Ring it will give a harder draw
PS,, make sure your coil tight inside your Pro Tank ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, i'm a noob only vaping for a week and off cigs for 5 days so im no expert

You can get an air-flow regulator which will tighten the draw. Liberty Flights have them sometimes.

I ordered the air flow regulator from madvapes (along with other stuff, of course!). I took my Pro Tank to my go to vaping gurus at VaporLeaf yesterday and was my face red ! I was careful to make sure the coil was tightened because that was my very first oops with my evod. Well, it just really wasn't tight enough. He tightened it and now I can snug the adapter as well as the Pro Tank to the battery with NO problems of the battery shorting out. So far, so good. It is working with my eGO and my Kanger batteries. Thanks for all the help here. Lots of great advice and I know way more than I did a couple days ago!
