protank mini 2 and 3 question

[PinkFloydFan]

does a protank mini 3 use same coils as a protank mini 2?
wondering because i own a protank mini 2.

another question do they use the same tank glasses?

 

[jasonandalysha]

no it does not. the protank 3 or protank 3 mini use a dual coil setup. they look almost the same but the are not the same coil

pro tank 3 coils are a bit taller so they wont screw on to the pro tank 2 ( they hit the air flow and you cant screw em down) the pro tank 2 coils should work in the pro tank 3 ...

hmmm i see.

What they said. The Protank 2 and 3 series are nearly identical, the only real difference being the 3's use a taller dual coil that they're designed to fit. The 2's were designed for the smaller single coil so they won't fit the dual coils from the new Kanger tanks, including the Protank 3, Mini Protank 3, Aerotank and Evod 2.

But the old single coils will fit in the Protank 3, there will just be some extra space between the rubber seal on the coil head and the bottom of the chimney. It still works fine if you're just sitting at your desk or something, but it can cause some leaking once you're out and about and it's moving around, left upside down, etc.

I actually have a PT2 coil (rebuilt though) in a mini PT3 right now. This one won't be taking any trips, but it should be fine when I am using it at my desk.

I am out of rebuilt PT3 tanks, they are all soaking right now...I change flavors too much.

I've found the T3/MT3 coils to work well in a PT3 mini.

So can anyone advise on a solution for a single coil on the protank mini 3? I have both the 2 and 3 and not really a fan of dual coils (had to try the dual) but really love the protank minis style.

See my post (two up) about using T3/MT3 single coils in my PT3 Mini. 24-hours and two juice changes so far: no leaks and good vapor production on my MVP2.

Ok, didn't realize those were singles, thanks for the clarification and help.

Any time. That's what the forum's for!

I haven't tried it, but I saw some posts, and pics somewhere where people were rebuilding pt3 heads with single coils, and just using extra wicking for the longer slot. I wonder if it's best to put the extra wicks under or over the coil?

I've been rebuilding the PT3 heads for about a week now, I've not been putting in any more cotton than needed. After you fluff the cotton a bit, the rubber cap will come right down to it.
