What resistance coil do you have in your Mini Protank II?

I usually preferred 2.2 for devices that weren't variable. When everything is stock (pt coil I did not rebuild) anything much lower struggled to not give dry hits.
I dont know where to post so I will do it here, regarding ejuices.....I started with 100% and then tried a few other ratios....and find 50/50 works good too , anything higher in pg gives me that awful throat hit.....now, I have leftover high vg juices that seem to cause problems in some of the tanks I have, should I get a lower resistance coil for these juices or what does anyone suggest?
I have been building my own coils for just a little while and I have been building them around 1.8ohms which was what I preferred on my non adjustable voltage ego(versus trying 1.6 and 2.0). The one I am actually using at the moment I guess I messed up because its only 1.4ohms, has been working fine with my adjustable ego-v v3. I just put it on my non-adjustable to try it out and it actually tastes good and is chucking vapor.
Stock coils I buy at 1.8 but I like my own coils better

I haven't tried building my own coils yet so up until now I have been buying 1.80 kangertech coil units. I have also purchased 2.20 coils as per the instruction card that came with my mini protank 2. I started to notice the flavor wicks on the 1.80 coils were slightly burnt and my juice tasted not so pleasant towards the bottom of my tank. This seems to only happen while using my joyetech battery. So I switched over to the 2.20 coils and am a little frustrated with the taste they are producing. Its a combination of a metal and plastic or rubber taste, I have been reading what others have said and agree that this is the wire ends that are sodered onto the coil heating up the silicone pice that fits in the end of the coil.
So all that being said, I'm left wondering if I am missing something or doing something incorrectly? I am very happy with the protank 2 mini but have yet to figure out what coil will vape my pg/VG juice like a champ. After reading your replys (thank you for that) I'm thinking I will probably have to start making my own.

I liked the stock 1.8 Ohm coils. Rebuilding them with micro coils and cotton, I aim for 2 Ohm.
somewhere between 2 and 5 ohms.
Most times about 2.5 ohms I think.
I'm usually vaping 5 to 6 watts these days; ;single coil and let the mod figure out what voltage to use for whatever ohm coil it is.
By micro coils are you talking about wrapping the wire many times as long as they are not touching one another?
What cotton do you use? Do you boil it first?
Thanks for your reply!

I used to dryburn my coils and replace the topwicks with cotton wicks and struggled with trying to put just the right amount of flavor wicking; then I got a small roll of resistance wire and tried building coils and finally tried to rewick a coil; and discovered that even with my old eyes it was quite easy! couldn't really see it clearly but been rewicking for weeks with no problem; I don't even try to put topwicks anymore; I just use the one wick running through the coil, and it vapes a whole lot better than the silica wicks and doesn't seem to have the leaking-after-2days problem I always got with silica.
So without worrying about totally rebuilding any coils, just try rewicking a coil. You'll need to carefull shred out an existing silica wick.
I'm using stock 1.8 ohm single coils (they tend to run 1.8 - 2.2 out of the box) rewicked with organic or sterile cotton with 100% VG. No boiling. Works great. Strong flavor and vapor production. Just make sure to not get the cotton too dense or tight in the coil. Picture above is excellent example on how to do it and make sure to prime cotton with few drops of juice before putting chimney back on. Give it a few primer puffs after refill and if a bubble comes up you are ready to go. Have a whole bunch of Mini 2's in flavor rotation using this method and couldn't be happier.
Sounds doable
thank you for explaining your method. I will have to give it a try!@ edyle thank you for sharing your photo the visual will come in very handy. One question, do you trim the cotton as short as the silica wicks?
I'm using the stock 2.5 ohm coil on an Evod VV. Currently set around 4.1v. I just started this week and will probably try rewicking my spare with cotton. I have some more coils coming tomorrow in case I screw it up...
I leave a little cotton hanging out and tuck it into/around the base after screwing it in. You do not need to cover the whole floor of the base. Just part of it.
