Protank 3 Problem

[supermiff]

Okay so I was recently given a brand new protank 3. I have checked the serial number and it is a genuine product. I am noticing that every juice I try in the tank tastes pretty nasty and has a perfume type taste and tastes a little burnt. I have absolutely no idea what this is. I have tried changing the coil heads on 3 occassions and tried desperately to adjust the voltages and wattages to find the right setting but I just cant get rid of this funny perfume taste. I have tried soaking it in water for over 24 hours too but still I get this aftertaste that almost has a perfume taste if you understand what I mean. Some of the juices I have tried 4 different juices now and they all have the same taste so I'm baffled.... Im almost thinking of throwing the bloody thing away. Any other Protank 3 users have this issue or is it just me?

I don't have a PT 3 yet, but is it possible that this is an artifact of the juice that you are using? Maybe you didn't notice before because the flavor was muted by your old tanks?

Just a thought...

Try this out add vinegar(any type) it's 1 drop per 5 mi of juice.

What kind of e-liquid are you using?

Not sure if this will be useful, but in terms of the 'perfume' taste, I got a similar thing with one of the Halo flavours I tried. I let the bottle sit unused for a week or so, and the 'perfumey' taste went away. Though it's really weird that you're getting this with 4 different flavours.

Are the juices from the same vendor? Dual coil gives more flavor, and I've had some juices from some vendors that were unvapably perfumey. Maybe the dual coil is bringing that flavor out for you on these particular juices.

Just got pt3. .. it works fine.. <shrugs>

No clue here. I use a PT1 mostly, but there are some flavors that just taste better in a carto. It could have something to do with the dual coil on the PT3?

Hi. I too was given a Protank 3 recently. I switch off between this and the clearomizer 16s. Whenever I try a new liquid that has a perfume like taste, I've noticed it doesn't matter which tank I use. My guess is that it's the liquid. I would try steeping them even though it's hard to wait!

Just got a couple protank 3s today. Flavor is great. No gurgling or burnt hits running on a provari at 4.8 volts right now with captains custard. I bet it's your liquid. Some liquids need to steep to get rid of that taste.

Have heard a lot of problems/complaints with the heads from different friends, I don't think they're properly designed yet

Try the Aspire BDC next. I had problems with a Protank 3 so I switched and have no problems so far.

While some new coil heads could benefit from a wash prior to use, I have never heard of anyone getting a "perfumey" flavor from a dirty coil .... that sounds like an issue with your e juice itself. As far as the dry hits, that is the result of poor wicking with your coils.

If you are using a thick e juice, these often have wicking issues with bottom coil devices such as the Protank. To correct the poor wicking, you can either switch to a thinner juice, or try removing the rubber grommet from the stem on the chimney. I often do this to get better wicking with certain juices.

Another solution would be to take some tweezers and gently remove a few top wicks from the coil (Kanger is notorious for using too much wick). You can do this without removing the chimney, just gently grab a few strands of wick closest to the top, and pull them out.... Hope this helps.
