I use a Kanger Pro tank on a VAMO V2. I bought because the build looked sturdy; i.e. Pyrex and stainless. I'd like to get into rebuilding, but i've heard it's hit and miss. Any ideas or suggestions how I should start?

You could start by rebuilding your protank wick and coil. There are several youtube videos on rebuilding the protank. You'll need wicking materials and wire, but the videos will cover that.

If you are looking to get into RBAs, start doing a lot of reading on the rba forum here on ECF. The RSST is a great RBA to start learning on.

Hey there. You seem pretty new but you can certainly learn to do this if you are willing to go ahead and put in the time.

I don't know if you know this, but there are many videos on youtube about cleaning and dry burning the protank heads. With proper care and cleaning you should only have to recoil/rewick about once a month anyway. For me, $2 heads. It's like why bother?

too bad you are on Kona, I'm going to Oahu next week, I could have shown you how to do it.

RSST and Octopus by smoktech are very inexpensive and very good lil devices. You can order both together for about 40 bucks or less if you find the right site. But you gotta do the reading and research so you know what youre doing and dont get too frustrated and just throw the things at the wall. (I've been tempted to do so when I first started). But you'll get the hang of it. You may also want to look into getting into mechanical mods as well if you really want to get into rebuildables. I used to run a RSST on the Vamo when I first started getting to RBAs and it was a pain, mainly cuz of the vamo. Now my vamo is solely used as my ohm tester.

1. Open a hole in the sand
2. Place the ProTank
3. Cover with sand
4.Buy an Evod , 2mm Silica and 32 AWG Kanthal and follow instruction below :



P.S Use your Vamo to measure the resistenace but with 5-6 coils you should be good.

Click on my signature to buy your materials.

Same instructions work on ProTank but ProTank doesn't work so don't waste your time :)
