ProTank with Tank Airflow Controller?

[Amethyst_Star]

I was wondering if anyone used the combination of a ProTank and a tank Airflow Controller? I find my draw on the ProTank quite airy and was wondering it this would fix the problem. It sounds like it might, from the reviews on Madvapes, but I didn't see any specific reviews mentioning it with the ProTank. I guess for $2.99 it's worth a try, but I'm just curious what others have to say about it. TIA.

Please don't ridicule me for my questions. I am new to anything outside of 808 cig-a-likes and cartomizers.

Yep...works like a champ, really tightens the draw. Got mine about a week ago and been using it ever since. Go for it...you'll wonder how you ever used a Protank without one.

Definitely works - make sure you screw it in on the bottom AND toward the base of the Protank. You'll see what I mean when it arrives. I used it at first without the second screw part and thought, "I don't get it, the draw's the same" and then ^^^ pointed out that I wasn't screwing it up to the base. Now it works great (when my Protanks recognize on my APV's - whole 'nuther issue.)

I bought an airflow controller for mine (not the same one), but it just made my Protank leak from the added pressure of drawing on it. I know some people have had success with theirs, but try to dig up some reviews first. You've got Hippieangst's endorsement, so that's a good start.

Yep, I do still get the pressure build up gurgles, but I got that without the controller as well. It seems much worse (the gurgling) if I start vaping (with or without the controller) on a half-full tank that's been sitting around unused for a while. But, if I start the day with a full tank and rock it all day (with or without the controller), the gurgling doesn't seem too bad. Sometimes, I can power through the gurgles.

Yeah, the cold half-tank gurgles get me, too. I don't know why it doesn't gurgle when you get down to half after starting with a full tank, though. It's weird.

Thank you, everyone, for your answers and advice! I do appreciate it! I think a couple of tank airflow controllers will be next on my shopping list!

Yes, I've got three tanks and two air controllers. The air controller makes it a great tank. In my case, the flavor was even more pronounced.

That sounds great! Hope to put an order in for the airflow controllers soon!

Does the airflow controller work if the draw is too tight? Or is it only if the draw it too airy? Thanks

Don't have one but been looking to get one and everywhere I look sold out....I quess alot of people like me not to fond of the airy draw on the PT2 in my case,I mean its not real bad but I like a little tighter draw.

The answer to your question I would think would be yes...if it can tighten the draw almost certain it could loosen it.

 

[Amethyst_Star]

I think I got my airflow controller at gotvapes or madvapes. I just got a ProTank 2 and the draw is still airy. Even on the mini ProTank it is. As for the airflow controller working on a tank with a tight draw, I wouldn't think so, but I could be wrong!

I tried the evod coil in mine just now and its perfect for me. Both 2.1ohm coils. I just changed them and nothing else. They sure looked the same to me though. Im not sure why the evod coil draws tighter in the KPTII?

It seems even Kanger approves of switching them. Its under the szkanger website news.

Bottom coil for Kanger Protank & mini Protank are compatiable with Kanger E-VOD coil

Dale, I just ordered another airflow controller online at the Indy Vapor Shop. They seem to be in stock. Tropical Vapors was another vendor that looked to have them in stock.

I used one on a Puritank, which is very similar. I had some menthol juice in it, it pronounced the flavor and TH. The menthol tasted so strong I had to cut down the juice with RY4. Just like one of the poster's mentioned screw it to the tank first. I would suppose that if you have weak flavor that you have bought it will do the trick. Is it a must have, IDK but it was pretty reasonable that it really doesn't matter.

 

[mattrhdr]

Anyone else? Does the airflow controller help with a tight draw or only an airy draw? No point of me ordering one if it only helps with an airy draw

 

[djezewski]

oh..how did I miss that..for a test I just put my puritank on an ego battery without it and I have a tight draw...now I just put it on my other ego with the adapter ring and the airflow controller and yes..it did give me an easier draw!

For those with a gurgling issue, try replacing the flavor wick with a piece of 100% cotton yarn (I used Peaches & Creme from Wal-Mart). This fixed the gurgling problem with my wife's EVOD which uses the same head design.

Does anyone know where I can get a US made one machined out of stainless steel?

If by "one" you mean a Protank then you can get some stainless bodies here: Tatroe Mods
If you mean a Airflow Controller then I don't know.
