Protank II issue possibly?

[xiKUTTHROATix]

Alright so I bought a protank II last week. All week the draw was nice and airy.

Now randomly after refilling it last night the draw is extremely tight and I have no clue as to why. I don't have an airflow controller or anything like that.

Has anyone had this issue before? If so did you fix and how?

when you open your tank, check out that rubber gasket that sits over the center chimney, slide it up and then gently slide it back down until it just barely stops.
LIGHTLY screw the tank section back on and give it a try there.

Sounds like it might be flooded. Try taking the tank off your battery and blowing air through it from the battery end. Also, wipe off any juice on the battery terminal.

I don't know what battery or mod you're using, but some mods will cut off the airflow to a Protank 2 if you tighten it down too much. An airflow controller fixes that problem.

sounds like your coil has failed, or gunked up

have you / do you clean your coils ?

another thought is air restriction somewhere (cloth-lint-rubber etc)

Thank you. I think it might be gunked up a bit as well. So I'm gonna clean it when I get home.

more than likely

learn the fine art of 'dry' burning

or better yet dive into rebuilding

so simple, very cheap, better quality, add cotton for better flavor

good luck, let us know

If you are using coils with the soft silicone grommet where the pin is on the bottom, the grommet can get compressed and block airflow.

You can also drill out the three tiny airholes in the 510 connection with a 1/16 drill bit. I've done that to mine and it makes the draw so much better.

Take the base apart and see there is no obstruction in the air holes, wash and clean it, if it doesn't help replace the coil.

Here's a pic of probably your problem with the squished positive insulator. They are very soft and sqush super easily. Get yourself some Kanger airflow adapter and your problems will disappear. If no airflow adapter isn't in the cards then your going to have to take the head out of the base and pull the pin and insulator down a ioda and do that song and dance every time you remove the atty to refill or change PV's.

Sounds like the wick might be too tight. I've seen this before with the same coils but for protank 2 (non mini).

Theres usually a (flavor wick) they call it. That sits on top of the main wick. I've heard some people like the wick and some don't. I think it's based on the liquid formulation. If your liquid is heavier on the VG then it's thicker and 1 wick might be better than 2 to provide better flow.

However, a liquid heavier on the PG is thinner and the 2 wicks may be a better option.

Anyways, if that doesn't work for you then maybe it's just a bad coil? Easiest solution would be try a fresh coil and if it works for a week again then fails, its definitely clogging up because your liquid might be too thick?

Hope this helps!
