I couldn't tell for sure, did the OP post again? My eyes start to glaze over after reading x number of posts in a given thread. x= how tired I am, how late it is, etc.

The irony here is that he got just what he said he hated, a bunch of people posting how well their PTs worked for them. So here's another one, 3 PT Mini IIs and no problems at all! I'm just a lucky guy though...:)

that's my son, but he supplies vape shops and sells a ton of Kayfuns. Not sure if they even fit what you are using. Can get them her cheap if you want to check them out.
Those aren't Kayfuns, they're cheap Chinese clones, and SvoeMesto would be fully within their rights to VeRo that listing for trademark infringement.

Every time someone complains about the protank ll people swoop in and offer up all the quick fixes and analogies to why it doesn't work properly. Well...you shouldn't have to take something out of the box and do anything except start using it. First thing is I don't want to keep my protank "topped off" to make it work properly because I may not want to vape another tank of that particular flavor. So I could pour the old flavor back into the bottle right...No, because it's burned up like any and every juice I put in it whether it's clear or dark or high pg or low pg. I've had 2 protanks for almost 4 months and there's no fixing these things. They're gonna gurgle they're gonna leak on your battery they're gonna burn up your juice they gonna burn thru your coils and they're gonna work great for the first vape of the day after you dry your battery replace your coil and put new juice in them! I put the top off of one of my wifes evods on to my joy tech ego (where my protank used to be) and it works great been using the same coil for a week and it hasn't even started to blacken the wick and the battery last 3 days. I was about to give up on ecigs because though the evod worked ok I could drain the battery in no time but I have found the perfect combination by swapping the heads.

So? I take it you don't "like" the ProTank2? Mine seems to be exceptional. No leaks. No burnt coils. No disgusting tinkling on the carpet. It never chews up my shoes. I use it, clean it, coil it when it needs one and it works. In fact I did "take it out of the box" and it worked. Lucky me. If I needed a 'fix' - they are simple and easy to perform; it seems the exception is a bad one ..... not the other way around.

EVODS working good for you I see. Maybe while they are - take a gander at the PT section and see if your problems (so many) are detailed? That "juice burning" couldn't possibly be "the juice"?

They sell a lot of 'em and if they were all problem prone perhaps I could understand the multiple issues you are experiencing. They seem unusual to me - but my experience has been great.

Check the threads specific to PT2 and see the issues can be resolved if one should choose to do so. I don't see it as being THAT difficult; but then - as I noted . "mine is fine" and has always been so.

Welcome and sorry to see ya have big issues. That must suck. Glad i don't!

Senile Old Man Don ............. I got lucky and got a "good" PT2!

I'm tired of people complaining personally.
I'm sorry you are tired of people trying to assist you with your issue.
I use 2 of the kanger protank 2's without any issues personally.
If you don't like em great you don't have to but quit whining about people who try to assist you or making it sound like those of us who don't have issues or like the protank are just idiots who don't know quality

Dat's right! I loves my PT2 ....... glad I'm not alone Rancor....

But I AM Senile ......... Old Man Don

I tried Protanks, and Protank IIs. I really did. After a brief early period of success, things went south and in the end they were a failure to me. But, their sketchy performance and inconsistency led me to RBAs and RDAs. As such, I bear neither the Protanks clearos, nor their defenders any ill will whatsoever.

Cheer up!

And what is better to cheer up a grumpy soul, than a cheerleader?

I have 2 mini's and I 99% like them.. if only the atty's didn't require fiddling. An easy enough fix to remove the top wicks, but I wish it was 100% fiddle free. I just wan't to open the box and GO. Is that too much to wish for? I don't see myself going down the RBA road. Not for me. I just wan't a product that works like it should straight out of the box.

I like my pt2 with rebuilt micro coils. Works great, great flavor, no leaks, and no gurgles.

Most thing you have to fiddle with and if you want a good quality no fuss try a aspire they work pretty good.

I 2nd that. Protanks, Minis, and Evods don't even wake up until you rebuild them with micros and cotton. WAY WAY better vape than stock coils heads!

How many of your protank 2's did you purchase from Fasttech?

Everytime I hear someone complain about Kanger stuff, more likely than not, they got it from Fasttech.

I had two "Authentic" Mini Protank 1's and almost gave up on Kangertech products because 1/2 the heads that came with them were crap and gave dry hits and never wicked properly. Add to that, one Mini Protank cracked within 36 hours and the other within 3 weeks.

I decided to give them one more try because of a "can't miss" deal I struck with an online Kangertech distributor, and suffice it to say, never an issue since.

Every Mini Protank 2 I got from them were flawless. I have not had a bad head from them either. I can even make the heads last for a long time by replacing the flavor wick and dry burning the coil. I think I've gone through a total of 4 coils in 3 months, and 2 of those were the crap ones I got from Fasttech. Comparing the last surviving one (the one they gave me as a replacement for the first cracked one.) I had from Fasttech with some authentic Mini Protank 1's were very telling indeed.

It was obvious to me that the Fasttech ones were "different", both in packaging and physical construction.. I would say "counterfeit" but that gets all the Fasttech fanboys in a tizzy. I threw out my remaining Fasttech Protank immediately. Didn't want to deal with it failing as his two previous siblings had.

I'm not saying you did get your stuff from Fasttech, but I always wonder how many people who have issues with the Kangertech stuff has gotten verified authentic Kangertech stuff. It makes a HUGE difference.

Suffice it to say, that my trust in any "authentic" label on Fasttech is effectively zero.

I removed the top wicks in the 4 tanks I am running.. 6 days in and they are troublesome. So is weekly changing pretty average? All my juices are about 70/30. Moderate vaping. My minis don't leak or gurgle..it's just the heads that cause the grief. They just quit producing quality vapor.
