rebuild pt3?

[mossontree]

is the rebuild for the protank 3 coils the same as the rebuild for the kanger 2 coils? im thinking of getting a kanger aerotank, which i understand uses the same coils as the protank 3 for my mech mod. If not, is it possible to rebuild them? or is it too lengthy to be worth it?

Aero and 3 use dual coils. But if I remember correctly, the protank 2 heads do fit so you can use the single coil builds in there. But you can't put the dual coils (aero or 3) into the 2.

ALSO with the 3 the duel coil was short while the aero is tall duel tall like the PT2. I rebuilt my aero today and it worked excellent

Greetings and welcome to ECF.

I haven't seen any ECF threads or YouTube demonstration vids yet for rebuilding PT3 coils, but it's a safe bet that someone will figure out how to do it before long, and share that knowledge.

I've seen inside dual coil heads, and stuff is packed in very tightly. I think it will be a lot harder rebuilding PT3, but I could be wrong about this.

I rebuilt my aerotank with 32G Kanthal a about 5-6 wraps, or was it the other way around... I forgot, anyways it's registered at 2.1 ohms and i threw a flavor wick on that puppy and oooh boy. Just great Lol, I only rebuilt it in a single coil style but it works just as fine as any other. I think it's honestly better than the dual coil setup. Wrapped with a 1/16 drill bit it fits in the cup so you can position your coil and put the insulator in with the little shaft thingy. Try it out, my Aerotank is better than ever

I have tried numerous ways to rebuild the dual coils for my pt3. The best way I have found is to use cotton ball for the wick and make the coils a bigger diameter about the size of a toothpick. The trick is to get the proper amount of wick in each coil. It seems like it wont be enough to keep from flooding with such a small amount of cotton, but it doesnt unless you use to little. I use 32awg Kanthal and wrap 8-10 times, I actually started using a toothpick after I got tired of burnt wicks from the micro design. I get around 2.2ohms with this way. I also do not use the dividing flavor wick between the coils. This makes it harder to rebuild yet! But once the 2 coils are in the body, you can adjust them to be spaced out correctly and away from the other metal surfaces after the insulator is in. Then slap some wick in it and prime and go. Only need 2 pieces of wick, no flavor on top and no divider. 2 coils and 2 wicks has stopped me from throwing this thing in the garbage!

Also, I get good flavor and lots of vapor production now, that I haven't gotten since the 1 original coil that came with my protank3 burnt up in 2 days... The second original was even crap! Never bought any aftermarket coils either. With the price and the short life span of these, I would've bought a new tank if rebuilding wasn't an option.
