Problems with the protank 2

[Sslane86]

So I recently purchased a protank 2 and it keeps gurgling. I'm using a 2.5 ohms atomizers at 4 volts. After filling it with liquid I made sure all the surfaces were clean to insure a good connection anyone have experience with this problem

Take the battery off,clean the top of the battery,,make sure theres no juice in the contact area,,then take the base off the pro 2 take the coil out and blow down the center of the coil from the groved end,,be sure to wipe all the juice from it first or youll end up with juice on your lips,,,then take a qtip and run it down the the hole in the pro 2 tank ,,reassemble and your ready to go,,,,what type of juice are you vaping.pg or vg ratio,,that is allways helpful to know

If that dosnt work try changing coils,,,sometime you just get a leaker

Greetings and welcome to the forum.

I get this occasionally, and sometimes it's due to improper setup after a cleaning and/or coil replacement. The coil should be screwed into the base firmly, as should the top part of the PT2 when you screw it back onto the base. But don't attach the PT2 too tightly to your battery; turn the PT2 until it makes firm contact, but don't make it tight.

Also, and this is just my personal experience, sometimes I find that blowing into the drip tip will help. Doing this can actually cause gurgling, but I've found by trial and error that occasionally it can cure it too, though I can't explain how.

What battery are you using btw?

Also make sure you head is screwed in all the way. Everything else should be just screwed snugly until you feel resistance, not too tightly, but the head itself should be screwed on as tightly as possible.

You get gurgling when to much juice get on your wick. Try not to draw too hard when puffing your actual sucking juice to the wick.

I usually get a tissue and soak up the juice from the wick.

Around the 7 min timer he gets into it.

We're still talking about the protank, right?

I'm on board with mightymen's recommendation. Most of the time gurgling and flooding is caused by hitting it like it's a cigarette. When you press the button it takes a few seconds for the coil to heat up. In that time if you're sucking on it hard then you're drawing juice in that's not getting vaporized. Eventually the coil becomes saturated and the wick can't hold all the liquid and it starts dripping down into the battery connector. After that you won't get a good vape until you get the excess juice out.

I had this issue too. I went through the motions and blew out the bottom of the base to clear out the tube, but still kept happening. I finally changed the coil (even though the existing one was new), and I had no problem. This happened off and on through about 7 different coils. I know it's a waste of money, but in my cases, the easiest fix was just trying another new coil. I'd rather lose $1.50 than the keep toying and blowing the thing to get the juice out. Of course the the Protank 3 was worse for me, bad to the point where I switched to RDA's.

You're hitting it too hard. Go longer and lighter on the hit. Also, depending on the battery you have, if it's a variable voltage try turning it up a little. It can help vaporize the liquid quicker. If it's a standard 3.7V battery then try using lower resistance coils (1.8 - 2 ohm)

Used to have the same issue. I did research and found out these guys are right. I started using slower longer draws. I not only have not had this issue any more but found it to provide better flavor

I've had similar issues. Following the advice of the other posters will solve your issue for the most part. imo the best solution is to rebuild your coils, its actually really easy to do there's plenty of videos on youtube on how to do it. I never have any issues with my rebuilt kangers. Plus it save you money from having to buy replacements.

I've noticed that if you don't fully tighten the Protank atomizer part that you screw into the tank (let a little air but not too loose to where it's wobbly) it helps with the gurgling.
