PT3 leaking/fussy

[Oakman_Smalls]

I bought two protank 3s and have been extremely disappointed. they are very fussy, leak from the bottom and gurgle then stop hitting. I have done some research and always keep them above half way, blow through the bottoms to clear out the excess juice, etc. any useful tips to make these guys work? its become hard to rely on my vape to work without needing to carry a pocketful of q tips, a rag, and juice. just want a reliable hassle free system that wont require a lot of attention.

my current set up
nzonic clone
either 18650 or 1830 battery
pt3 at 2.2 ohms

my juices are all 50/50

thinking about switching over to carto-tanks. what are some recomendations for a hassle free, large carto tank? of coarse want good flaver, vapor, and throathit.

thanks

Take the top post off the coil and drop a length of natural cotton yarn onto the flavor wick. Put the top post back on, trim the cotton even with the flavor wick, and reinstall. Should fix you up. It may restrict juice flow a little much, if it does, replace it with another cotton chunk with a strand or two removed. It may take some experimentation, but eventually you'll arrive at the right size wick to allow enough flow to vape but not enougb to leak.

I'm glad i skipped over the pt3 after hearing about all the issues

At least for me, I was causing most of the issues when I had issues. I was not clearing the chamber after vaping. This leaves moist air in the chamber which condenses and runs down onto the plus terminal. That shorts your clearo and destroys vape quality. I started continuing to breathe in for a second after releasing the fire button and now it really isn't an issue.

I have three of the ProTank 3. No real issues with any of them.

one seems worse than the other. i just keep them topped off and make sure to clean all the threads and any contact surfaces. then blow through the 510 connector until i get the excess juice out of the chamber. seems to work well enough, but still frusterating. anyone use carto-tanks? what are the pros and cons?

I have 2 new protank 3's I hope I don't have any of these issues!!!

Loving all my protanks so far (1, 2 and 3's). the only one that has been an issue was a protank 1 that I gave to a friend of mine and the glue apparently degraded away. Worked great for me until I gave it to him. go figure.

Figured out one of my issues. i had a coil in there a little crooked so it was leaking. replaced the coil and its been smooh sailing so far. i guess my only complaint now is how fast it goes thru juices. blame it on that double coil.

once i started building my own coils (32g kanthal micro coil with organic cotton) i haven't had any problems with any of my kanger pros.

 

[Oakman_Smalls]

well definitely solved my issue now. I ordered two ibtanked carto tanks! looking forward to worry free vaping

Give the anyvape davide tanks a try. I do daily maintenance when I refill it, but it's a pleasure to run and has low maintenance overall. I've found that 2.5ohm attys work the best and I never have leaking!
