Protank 2 help please!

[V8per228]

Okay..here's the deal. Picked up a protank 2 today. Put my liquid in...screwed it to my MVP...made sure the volts were low at first...took a drag......! Tasted like straight burnt wick and coil...and hurt. So...after flipping the stupid o ring that was blocking most of the area for the wick to get its liquid...I can take two hits...tastes like vaping...and then boom burnt hot and nasty wick coil again. Please advise what is happening and how to fix

You can try removing one or both of the flavor wicks that sit on top of the coil

Do a search on youtube for protank wick removal and there's a bunch of videos on there how to do it. It's fairly easy. I would start by removing just the top one first then trying it and if you still get dry hits remove the other. Dry hits are awful and sometimes something as simple as removing a wick can take care of it. Good luck and let us know how you make out!

maybe dumb question on my part... did you let the juice sit for a while before taking a hit?

Also if the e juice is a dark thick one you can add a couple drops of water to thin it some.

Primer puffs. You can't just throw juice in and go, even when replacing your wicks. I don't think you will be able to get all of the burnt wick taste out, probably should throw a new coil head in.

Just be sure to do 2-3 primer puffs every once in a while to ensure the flow of juice is going through your coils.

I let it sit for about an hour after doing primer puffs...and the first hit was aweful....think I'll try taking maybe one wick out and see where it goes

I wouldn't take wicks out just yet. Try unscrewing the base and putting a single drop of eLiquid down the center tube. It will wet the wicks and coil. I always do this on a new, dry coil.

Ive had great success taking one wick out of my coils.

Have you tried another head yet? I had a bad head once that was like what you describe. Just garbage. It would hit a couple of times but didn't produce anything I wanted to taste or inhale. I gave up real fast and put another head in and I continued on with my life.

I experienced this a few times as well and have not been able to fix it. I have read that rebuilding the coil will eliminate this problem but I have not done one yet and cannot confirm. It has been a PITA for me as well. As an example, yesterday I was vaping and experienced this burning taste. My tank was low and I decided to clean it and I put a new head in. A few hours later, I was experiencing the same thing. I tried flipping the silicone o-ring but did not help. Today I opened up the head to expose the flavor wicks and found them to be black! I have only taken 40-50 puffs off this new head and the juice is almost as clear as water so, I am not sure how this is happening. The juice I use is 50/50 and thin so I am worried removing any of the flavor wicks will cause flooding so I have not tried it.

oh the frustration. Okay so a did pull one flavor wick out. though i solved the issue. not so much. still two hits and then boom....nastiness. so i am going to put a new head in tonight when i get off of work...thank god i brought my rsst with me as a back up...smh...vaping problems

Could be you are just screwing the base on too tight. That could cause the rubber cap on the post to be pushed down too far and keep the wick from getting saturated. You only need to screw it on until you feel some resistance. Anything beyond that is over kill.

Also if your wicks looks dark, rinse then periodically under warm water. I generally do daily to keep wicking action in top shape.

I have ruin heads under warm water and then put them back into a full tank right away. It takes a few to burn it "dry", but it does work...
