Kanger's recommendations with the PT II are:
1.7-1.9 ohm -- 3.1-3.5V
2.1-2.3 ohm -- 3.4-3.7V
2.4-2.8 ohm -- 3.8-4.1V
2.6-3.0 ohm -- 4.2-4.5V

Since a standard eGo battery is 3.7V, it matches a 2.2 ohm coil, but not a 1.8 ohm one.

In practice the difference in taste is not unbearable, and you might like it.

I am using the pro tank 3 on one right now.
Was kinda worried about how it might look because of the size difference but with the piece that comes with the tank that goes between the tank and the battery it looks okay and it seems to work just fine for me.

Personally, I don't like any high resistance on my eGo. I've been vaping it with 1.5 ohm iClear 16's, and my PT2 with 1.3 ohm cotton microcoil kicks on it pretty well.

Yeah but you have to keep in mind running low resistance on these eGo class batteries does shorten their lifespan. It's a cheapo, not high drain, ICR battery in there. It make me wonder how many of these "eGo batteries are crap they only last a month" posts are coming from people running lower than 2.0 resistance on them.

Couldnt agree more, I've also got nothing to prove. I'm not entering the world's largest cloud contest. I can take seven hits in a row. I also hold my steam for much longer then the average felller. Dammit; I'm supposed to be going to sleep.

THIS!! Thank you so much rurwin. This was what I was looing for :)

Yeah, I know they are cheap; I certainly ldon't want to kill it though. I think sticking wiith 2.2.

That's a great point. To be fair, I put the 1.3 PT2 on it for grins, since I have a mod as my primary now. I don't use it regularly under 1.5, that's territory reserved for the mod.

I like the lower resistance because the coil heats faster, runs a bit hotter causing a richer vapor, and the richer vapor gets better taste. IMO, of course. edit: airflow through the atomizer is key, as well. The PT2 is the most airy clearo I've used, and it allows me to vape hotter without getting a burnt taste, I find. Putting the same 1.5 ohm iC16 on my mod and running it any higher than the 8 or so watts I get on the eGo, just burns and tastes nasty, but the airflow sucks on the iC16 compared to the PT2.
