I have had my protank for almost a week and im having some issues that are probably do to my novice rebuilding skills. i seem to need to rewick almost every day because its scorching the wick. has anyone rebuilt theres yet? if so how many wraps and what gauge wire? iv been using 32 gauge kanthal and doing around 5 wraps and it works amazingly for a few hours then it scorchesanyone have any advice?
Just ordered a protank myself, wondering why some have so many though? Especially the people who rebuild, I'm bout to order some kanthal and silica wick, ordered a protank for 15 bucks, wondering if I should've ordered more but curious as to why if you can rebuild??
Im using an ego-t upgrade with a 18650 battery and i only run it on regulated mode which should be 3.7 volts. one roblem is i dont have a multimeter or anything to check the resistance rating of the coil i try and do it by taste. i have 5 wraps in there now and its been working well all day. i did notice that the juice (tres cinco from nextsmoke) does get darker really quick. i had been using mt3s before so maybe i just didnt notice. after it was getting dark today it was starting to taste a little off so i toppe it off and rinsed the wick/coil and no problems since then.
If your coil is getting gunked up quick, you may need to put a little more heat to it, or build lower ohm coils. I rebuild mine every two weeks and then only because I think I should. I double 2mm wick, 4 wraps of 32 awg kanthal (no "flavor strands") comes to around 1.7 ohms and I vape it at 4.2 volts. This build seems...for me anyway...to smooth out the draw, no dry hits and no flooding. This is a great topper once you find your build. Oh and btw, I do rince and dry burn every three or four days during that two weeks. Good luck my friend.
For the airy draw I simply plugged up 2 of the 3 intake holes on the threaded stem. I used tiny wee bits of Teflon tape for the filling.
