Rewrapping Protank Coils

[Basisud]

Anyone else rewrapping their Protank coil? I started microcoil (28 gauge, 10 - 12 wraps ~1.3 ohm coils) wrapping my Protank 2 with the Aerotank bottom piece and I love it. Best vapor I've gotten out of a tank. Any thoughts, opinions, etc? Also, anyone been brave enough (or able) to rewrap a Protank 3?

I know there are probably a million places, but where do you get your rebuilding supplies? I have a protank 2 I use with an adapter and my V4L Zues. That tank is much better than the ones V4L sells (and for about the same price).

I do it all the time as well.... What did you use to wick it? Once I rebuild I use organic cotton instead of silica.... for me it's just so much better. Never tried, nor do I own a PT3 but I do have 3 of the aero tank bases in use on my PT 2's.

Yes. I have a pro tank 2 and aerotank. I rebuild all my coils with 32g 12 wraps. I use organic cotton for wicking. Haven't rebuilt the dual coils. I have seen a dual coil build in a pt 2 but that's a small area to work with.

Amazon: Kanthal and Cotton

Temco is the place to get Kanthal wire and ribbon. Much cheaper than the others.

Similar here, but I do 7 wraps for .8Ω and daily drive it on a mech. Great dependable vape!

How beneficial is the aero bottom? I've got a pair of Protank 2's that'll I'll probably keep for my sealed tanks. 1 ohm 28g coils and cotton wicks... I need more air though! Sounds intriguing!

This is the one that makes the ProTanks sooooo much better.

Vermonster13 Thanks for the share didn't know you can get an adjustable airflow valve for the ProTank. I am thinking, I have a purchase to make in the near future.

I found them unusable before I got my hands on these.

I love my ProTank 2's, but I did have to mod a bit before I liked them. The airholes are FAR too small! drill and some filing and VOILA!

Dat looks pretty sexy!

28 gauge temco kanthal 12 wraps for around 1.3 ohms. I also wick it with cotton. The flavor can't be beat and since I rebuilt this coil and used cotton for the wick, I haven't had to change the cotton in 5 days! (I started rewrapping because I was going through a coil somewhere between a day to 2 days.) I use it on my MVP 2 and it works wonders. I can't sub ohm on my MVP 2 because it throws an error. I never thought about sub ohming a protank and throwing it on my mech though... And yes. The air flow control makes a WORLD of difference. Best thing since sliced cheese!
