Removing flavor wicks from Protank 3 heads?

[caged]

Flavor wicks were easy to remove on the Protank 2, and something I found necessary with the thicker VG base juice I use. The head on the Protank 3 doesn't seem to come apart, making flavor wick removal more of a challenge. How are you removing flavor wicks? I am not getting along with the flavor with the Protank 3 right now and need to figure something out.

I removed a flavor wick from my protank 3 head. You can get to the flavor wicks the same as a regular PT2 head. Remove the silicon grommet and the tiny post underneath and the flavor wick will be exposed. I didn't bother trying to get to the one between the two coils. I'm not even sure if there is one or more there, but I imagine so. The idea seemed a little problematic though so I just went with removing the top wick. Personally it caused my head to leak and I never went any further with it. My experience was the flavor was better on a stock PT3 head with all wicks than a PT2 with a wick removed (very good), but the vapor production was way below average for an identical PT2 setup. You can and should push the dual coils higher than a single coil. I personally thought the flavor was great on my PT3, i'm just not happy with the vapor production though and shelved it after my wick experiment until the prices on the heads drop.

Interesting. The post underneath the grommet doesn't seem to come off on the heads I've looked at, and the video I saw It appeared to break when he took it off (with pliers). With the Protank 2, it was easy.
