Now just tell me where in the hell I can get some.
Everybody sold out except canvape...who doesn't ship to 'merica apparently.
Got a restock email from cigtech or somebody this morning, followed the link within ten seconds of getting email...sold out.

You were lucky to get 'em. Apparently some were payin' attention!
Good job.
Good luck.
Hopefully Kanger is too. Are you listening?
If you can't get that Aerotank base. There is one alternative that I have done.
I took a 1/16 drill bit and drill out the air holes on the base. it was like night and day. With a rebuilt PT2 atty and the 1/16 holes...vape bliss, just sayin.
The only downfall is that you can't reverse the action once that drill bit goes through, but I haven't had a negative thing happen yet. I have been using this method for well over a month now.
Here is what I drilled out, there are 3 or so holes, I drilled them all. No pun intended.

Yeah that had crossed my mind...more so with my pt2 minis actually...think I'm gonna start opening one hole on those to 1/16th and see how that works out. If I get too impatient waiting for aerotank bases I may give this a shot though.

Great answer and it does work. Thanks.
Here's the problem: The differential pressure in the tank changes.
At first, drilling out the holes improves the air flow. And it can be that it's perfect at a 16th for the juice and coil design at the beginning for you. There's good vacuum at the start holding up the juice when the tank's full. As it drains, the vacuum pressure weakens. Flow increases. Then even 1/16's still not good enough.
Or, the Aero, it works because the standard air holes can be too much at the beginning for the PT2. Even though I run 96% VG about 2/3 open does it for my setup/mix. Full open near 40% empty or if I vape hard and that's often not enough.
Just a couple of observations guys.
Good luck.
Well to avoid the vacuum problems, 1-3 times a day, I take the time to flip the tank over unscrew the the base, lift it up, release the vacuum and I'm back to making good clouds all the way to the last drop in the tank. it has been working good for me doing it this way, after a week my cotton wick and coils still look new, I refill my tank twice a day though.
Doin' well Tex. I vape and chain pretty hard. When the tank gets got and cools off fast it can feel like suckin' on an empty balloon. You described the perfect way to clear that.
I usually refill before I reach 40% as with decreasing vacuum it will tend to leak out more. Kanger I believe recommends refill at half-fill.
Good luck.
Thanks, I was aware of this, just don't want to wait that long.
Also thanks to mac, but those were also oos. I found some somewhere...for 13.50 + ship...for that price I would just but aerotanks as I prefer the styling anyway.
The hunt continues.

Metalhed thanks for the thread. I've been thinking about getting to rebuilding and your simple easy to follow instructions makes it seem fairly straight forward, thanks
+ a billion . This help a noob out greatly. Now if my building supplies would get here in the next hour....... Oh wait I have to order them first
. Gonna try the aero base too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can't speak to the aerotank base on a protank yet, but on the aerotank it's the bees knees (can't see how it would be different on a regular pt). Still haven't heard a single gurgle or had a dry hit, even chain vaping.

Awesome thread and awesome folks contributing to it - a veritable goldmine of information and insight. Many thanks to ALL the posters here. Just placed an order with TEMCO for 100' each of Kanthal A1 28/30/32 gauge. Looking forward to getting in on the rebuilding!
What is a good size of wire to build micro coils on a mini Pt2? Need to order some supplies and want to try my hand at building some coils
