Problems with Maraxus and Kanger Protank 3

[Kevin Risley]

My new Maraxus mod clone came in today, and I was very excited to try it out with one of my Kanger Protank 3's (only tanks I have). Much to my chagrin, they don't immediately play very well with the Maraxus. See, the Maraxus has an odd center pin. It's not flat like most I've seen. It has this cylindrical protrusion that fits inside the Kanger's connection hole. The Maraxus's pin, with the 18650 battery in it, has no play whatsoever. This leads to the pin pushing the bottom piece of the dual coil up into the housing and either A: hindering its connection, or B: cutting off air flow which makes it not work.



I put a rubber ring around the pin and between it and the battery as a spacer, and it allows the pin to move enough to make a satisfactory connection. It works fine. However, it still pushes the bottom piece of the coil up into the housing somewhat. I'm looking at this as a sort of temporary fix. Without the spacer, and the pin being stationary with no play, would I be able to find a 510 to 510/ego adapter that wouldn't be hinder by the cylindrical nature of the pin?

I've seen a lot of 510-510/ego adapters online, but the bottom connection piece is usually only slightly visible in the pictures and seem to vary. Would just any ol' adapter suffice?


(Sorry if the picture is huge, it won't let me re-size it)

look for a sealed 510 to 510 (or 510 to 510/ego if you want) they will work but it will be spaced about a 1/4 inch off the mod. been their man i have a maraxus with just regular protanks and its the same thing. what i do is pull the bottom pin of the tank out and screw it on without a battery in the mod. may help. let me know.

thankx soo much for this...been to two different vape shops...one says i need a new coil..which was bull.... cuz i just put a fresh one in....and the other one says i need to pull the pin out in the coil itself....well i broke a coil open and used one of the gaskets for the adapter peice....put it in and it fires like a champ now!!!!!!!

I actually ended up getting one of the newer air control bases for my ProTank 3's. Tey helped, but the floating pin was still messing up my coils.

My fix: I opened up the pin assembly and took out the spring. Now the floating pin is pushed up at my discretion by the battery. I keep the Maraxus tightened just enough so there's no wiggling or jiggling and the pin pushes up to the base just enough to make contact. Very few problems after that.

you might want to consider an add on airflow base for the Maraxus to the kanger
