Protank blues

[Jet Knight]

Just got my first Protank and nothing but problems when i removed one of the top wicks....leaks! Firstly, it was difficult to remove, than after reassembling the tank and filling with juice, and making sure everything was tight, nothing but burnt taste and leaks. Replaced, the wicks and coin heads and left all the wicks and everything, so far seems ok, no leaks.

For some reason, removing one of the wicks for me resulted in leakage....discouraged!

Still having leaking problems with the Protank, had one good session with it, but when I refilled......leaking again. Not Happy with the protank at all!!!

I don't have leakage issues when I take the flavor wick out. If it leaks, leave it in.

Same here Jet Knight, finally bought a protank and nothing but issues with my thicker juices. Very inconsistent vape and some flavor muting with alot of my juices. Swear my kanger t3s preformed better. Ive tried every trick Ive found on this site/youtube.

I have 3 of these and never had any leakage issues - perhaps a misthreaded part?

Pardon my newness, but why would you want to remove a wick?

MY ProTank always leaks when its low-er on juice or just not being used :/

I don't use the stock setup with the protank. I rebuild the wick and coil using 2.5mm silica and 32 kanthal. When winding the coil around the wick I use a paperclip along side the silica. This helps make winding the coil easier and when you slide out the paperclip it makes the coil fit around the wick without being too tight. If you make the coil too tight it will not wick properly and you will get dry or burnt hits. Every single one of my rebuilds using this method has produced a perfect coil/wick. Tons of vapor and great flavor. I generally end up with about 2.2 ohm coil and vape it at 4.0 volts on my provari.

If you are taking the flavor wick out keep in mind theres 2-3 flavor wicks on top of the coil. If you left just the coil wrapped wick you removed too much. Usually need to leave one to prevent flooding which leads to your leaky woes.
