DING DING DING...we have a WINNER!!
I agree, this is what causes trouble with "dry hits" on ProTanks - but not on EVODS or even PTMinis.
I have found that removing 1/2 of the flavor wick fixes the problem for me - and I don't get any leaks - but not having the wick buried in that tiny recessed space would be a better solution.


Can you say " Protank III" ?!! ... come on Kanger, get on it! We want a Protank with the Evod's base design!!! I sure hope someone from Kangertech lurks on this site, lol.

Actually I find the bcc's are slowly becoming my fav's

first I liked the viva nova's over the bcc's, but lately I'm using the kanger pro II and the ismoka BCC Mega

I find the kanger pro a little airy personally, but it vapes a little better than the ismoka bcc mega (which has a nicer draw, less airy)

a combo of both of them would be good.


I'm using all of these (switching back and forth) in the itaste VTR because they all fit so nice.

I can't stand the iClear 30 or the iClear30s (that came with it).

To each their own I guess.

I don't know why, but I didn't like the BCC's that I had until I started using them on the VTR and they've really grown on me, I do notice the gurgling when they get low though.

I'll tell you how different we all are..... You know the airy draw that so many did not like with the original Protank? Thats what I liked so much after I got used to it, realizing that air is what contributed to such a big ole cloud of vaper. and I know that most of you probally didnt like that feature. Lord I remember those posts flaming that airy draw.

Then they changed the coils/heads so they would fit both the Evods and Protanks when the PT 2 came out. That new coil/head had a less airy draw.... and I was sad..8-o

And somebodys gonna tell me, why didnt you take out one flavor wick ???

Im rambling now..its late. vaping is just a long fun journey to me. :2c:

I liked my Protanks when I started...they were my first non-disposable toppers. I don't use them anymore because ... because....um...ya see...um...well, I don't know why. I use cart tanks, a kayfun, a genny... a dripper....

I can tell you this, Ive been helping the wife get into a better vape and I recoiled and filled an old protank for her. Somehow I convinced myself that they don't produce the results I seek nowadays. I was wrong...it works great. Am I switching back to a protank ? Probably not, but they're not junk. The important thing is finding what works for you...i like the i30 as well. A great vape doesn't need to cost an arm and a leg. Whatever you have that you don't like might be what keeps someone in the "still not smoking" column. I recently gave several AGR carto tanks to a guy who works at a local b&m. You'd have thought I gave him a shopping spree in Busardos basement. It felt good.

Ask and you shall receive.... new coil and wick system

PROTANK 3: DUAL BOTTOM COIL FILLED FROM THE TOP: FastTech Forums

You realize that you made my heart rate go up don't ya.,lol ... so I couldn't click the link fast enough, and then I see that the Version 3 is the Unitank (cue tears) ... I don't like the Unitank, namely because its a plastic tank, with that very unattractive black writing on it (more tears, lol). For the life of me, I cannot figure out why Kanger decided to make a polycarbonate tank version, and one that is priced just as high as the pyrex tanks? ... what a head scratcher. I am a true Kanger fan but the Unitank hurts my feelings a little. :p

I have heard before that when it comes to "manifesting", you need to be very specific when putting your desires out into the Universe, so here goes .. I want a Protank with the same chromed metal, and pyrex glass body design, an Evod style base, and tank that can be filled from the top ... I have good favor with the Vape Gods, so we'll see ;-)

One thing I've noticed, and this is on most bottom coils I've tried, is some slight gurgling/flooding as the tank nears empty. This apparently has to do with the vacuum in the tank and air pressure, or something like that. Haven't tried the I30 yet though.

I have noticed this to its like a car running out of gas! ha-ha quick fill it up!

Excuse my noobness but the Protank 3 is not the same as a Unitank is it? I have never used a unitank so I wouldn't know.

After buying 1 mini protank and 1 unitank from kanger , I will say their products are trash. It's a shame these tanks are the ones with the most threads of flooding gurgurling. It takes time from you and your family with tinkering trying to make these tanks work. Let me tell it works good when it works, but the odds of it working good are very slim . I ordered the new i30 s and was amazed at such a hassle free vape,. Even after the first refill I was kinda scared because the protanks it was a hit or miss, usually a miss which was so disappointing but let me tell you! I refilled the i30 s and it vamped like a champ over and over again. So for now these protanks will go to the trash because I would not even give these to my worst enemy!!

interesting read. Total rubbish in my opinion, but interesting.
Maybe you should toss them in a drawer and revisit after settling into vaping. I often find issues with equipment to be due to lack of understanding or inconsistent vaping technique.

Sadly I must counter your argument with 50+ Kanger products that never flood and rarely ever give a dry hit.

I30 is a mop head - Top coil -
You would likely get the same Vape from long wick T2's or Real Vivi Novas.

Now this is a horse of a different color :) .. but that link led me to a big ugly photo of Unitank ... due to the increase in heart rate, coupled with the tears in my eyes, I just got the heck outta there to prevent my eyes from crossing any further, ahahahahaha ... Ok well, now I need to see inside the base of the Protank 3 before I can officially get excited! ... I have a good happy dance waiting in the event this proves to be the answer to all of my vape hopes, and wishes. :)

I am not sure if anything can answer all my vape hopes and wishes but this looks pretty bad A. I can't find a release date but I know I will be waiting impatiently to get one of these
