I just got a Protank yesterday and have been on my second fill with it. I love the draw and the vape but I have heard a lot of people take out the top wick. I have been mainly vaping a 50/50 blend. What are the pros and cons of taking out the top wick? Don't really want to ruin it if its not worth it.

I'm leaving mine alone. I took the top wick out of my evod and had flooding issues with 50/50 blends. If the draw is too airy you can put an evodbhead in it to tighten the draw up but I have not done this, loving the pro tank, best investment so far! The glass worries me so its an at home vape for me, metal vivi for the road. Happy vaping !

Well it depends on your juice. They come with 2 in there usually I take one out I run 59/50 also and flip the the rubber casket that way I don't get dry hits if your not don't bother some vg is thicker than others. It also depends how many volts you are using me 4.2-4.5 burns juice faster. Maybe I should turn them down.
If it is drawing fine then leave it be. 
Removing the top wick would allow you to vape thicker juice.
I removed the top wick on one of my Kanger T3's just to see what would happen and it flooded.
But I'm with you, I love the ProTank.

Yeah I found I get practically no flavor from the protank unless I kick it in the 4.0+ range. Have yet to get a dry hit or even a burning taste from it though and am impressed with the product. Have only tried one juice in it so far, finishing off the juices I have in my CE5 and keeping those as back ups. Also have heard of a "break in" period for the tanks. Whats the usual time frame before deciding to remove a wick or leave it as is?
removing wicks usually wont change flavor, its done for wicking problems with the juice. i run mine in the 4.5v range with the 2.5 head in it and it almost taste like my geni,,,,, almost.
I take out the top wick, one some juices. I have about 16 heads now. Some with three some with two. I run a juice though each as a test and see if it's worth the flooding risk. I only had it happen once when I left the tank on the side, but that's still a waste of good juice.
Every vape I've gotten form GoodLife taste better on two wicks.
The few Liquids I have left from V4L taste better on three.
I say it's up to you. I also try and save the wicks if I need um to rebuild heh.

if it ain't broke, then it will be.
if it works, use it 'till don't.
the glass in the protank is pyrex.
so i wouldn't worry too much about it breaking.
i've dropped mine a few times hard, and it's just fine.

As for the durability of the protank. I think dropping it may be fatal. But i have been riding my motorcycle for the last few days with it in my right chest pocket with no issues. I ride a ninja so i am constantly laying on the tank.
Thanks guys. Loading up my second one with RY4 from MBV which is a stronger flavor then my other one to get a better feel for it. I am glad I got two of these as they provide no competition against the CE5 and blow it out the park. The glass seems pretty durable to me as long as it doesn't hit concrete.
yeah dropping them protanks on a concrete floor will sometimes snap off the 510 threaded part, no fun, been there, done that. Otherwise, I loves me some protanks, they rock.
If you dont think you can put it back together I would not mess with it. As for everything I get I disassemble it in to as many parts as it will go and then I try this or that mix and match sometimes its a good thing sometime its not;-) But Im with everyone else if it works don't fix it!
I tried taking a wick out cause I vape 50/50, it started gurgling right off, put the wick back in and haven't had a problem since. I love the protank, best hit I've ever had, my sweet spot for my VV is about 4.2. If it vapes good for you, leave it alone. I love the airy draw, at first I was taken back by it but the more I used it the more I loved it. It is hard for me to go back to a clearomizer that has a tighter draw.
Theres lots of youtube videos on rewicking that kind of stuff so if you get the itch they have directions to help you out.
The airy draw was one of the main selling points for me. I just love it, I usually can take a hit until it cuts me off and release huge amounts of vapor. Seems to be the only way to get a buzz for me. I think my problem was thinking I can do 18mg of nic coming from 1.5 PAD, should try and up it to 24mg for the next order.
Yeah Ive been vaping for about 2 weeks now. I am still learning and getting used to everything, trying to find the juice and set up that will help me ditch the analogs. It has got me to cut down on the analogs by a lot but I haven't found my ADV juice yet.
Even better than youtube:

Yeah, I smoked that much too and decided to start with a 24mg nic, it's done great for me so far, not wanted the first analog since I started vaping. Eventually I'm going to cut down but I'm waiting till about 4 months, when all the poison is out of my body from the analogs and I know I can handle it.
