Received my Provari today - Question

[sohc1996]

I received my Provari today and so far I love it. I do have a question regarding the Protank II.

One of my Protanks II is getting no airflow on the Provari. Which from reading is a common problem. I was considering picking up an air flow controller. This one:

Smoktech 510 Tank airflow controller - Viper Vape Inc

Will this solve my problem? Is this a good vendor to order from or do you suggest ordering from somewhere else? Any other suggestions/comments are welcome.

Thank you!

Just my observation but the only time I have a draw issue with the pt is when the pin is not sticking out enough . Sometimes I change the coil and it works just fine. Just means you are having to put the tank on too tight.

Ps. Congrats on the new provari. I myself am sitting at home not so patiently waiting for my new one to show up today. Glad your mailman was early.

Yeah - some tanks get their air supply cut off by tightening them flush on the device (this is not restricted to provari's). I'd suggest you look at the Kanger aerotank base - it's an airflow adjustable base that is made for the aerotank, but fits the protank nicely.

I'm in Canada, and can't recommend a specific supplier for you, but they are available from many places (make sure you're selecting just the base, not the whole tank, which is a little expensive).

I'd recommend this instead. It works great.

Kanger ProTank Air Control Base

Is it only one PT2 having issues? If so, it's probably what Vicshalls said. I've never had an airflow issues with my PT2 tanks, though there have been some that use the Aerotank base for more airflow.

I could not get that type of afc to work.
I HIGHLY recommend the Aerotank base idea - still just a few bucks and it improves the performance of your ProTank on ANY device!

 

[sohc1996]

Yes, it's just one of my Protanks II that is having an issue. My other one is working just fine on the Provari. If I put the one that is giving me issues on another device it works just fine. I will change the coil to see if that solves the problem. Its about time for a new coil anyways.

Can you guys recommend a reliable vendor to purchase either the air flow controller or the aerotank base from?

Kanger isn't consistent about the location of the hole in the 510 threading - or even the length of the 510 threading - so some of them will snug down on a ProVari, some won't. Some get air, and some don't. Most of mine work OK, but I know I just got lucky. Switched mostly to tanks anyway...

aerotank base is in lots of places, but Sun Vapers is always good for Kanger stuff...

It's like a Provari day for all of us! Just got mine today as well. Did anyone else get a Sain Blue with Blue LED? If not I must have gotten the last one?

Woops. Out of stock.

here too. Might have to look around!!

After the Chinese holiday, a lot of vendors should have them. I just noticed Litecig is sold out too.

I just changed out the coil, popped it on the Provari and all is well now. Thank you for the suggestions! I might go ahead and order an areotank base or two once I find one in stock.

I actually picked up Provari from a local shop. I've been thinking about getting one for a while but once I got it in my hands I was sold. There was a little mark up on the price but I like shopping at a local store if possible.

Kanger's US store has these air flow controllers.

Kanger Airflow Control Valve (Protank II, 3, and Aerotank) - KangerTech US, LLC

Thank you for the link! I didn't realize that Kanger had a US store.

Sorry for the newb question but does this replace the bottom on the Protank II or does the Protank II & base screw into this base? I ask because it says it works for both the Protank II, 3 and Aerotank and you use the same coils as before.

You screw the protank coil heads into the aero tank base.

Btw it works like a charm, and you can tighten your protank flush with absolutely no airflow issue
