Whats wrong with my mini pt2

[Kobe]

I posted this in the tanks subforum but I think it belongs here. I hope I dont get reamed out for the dbl post.

Hey guys, new vaper here.
Was an 8 cig a day habit and have been on vape since last tuesday and ive only had ONE analogue since! If it wasnt for inconsistent hits with my ce4, I wouldnt have evn had that.
Anyhow I have a mini protank 2 now. Dont get all the fuss about it....way too airy for me and its a little cumbersome to plug holes while vaping. I much rather my vision victory VT. DGMW, its not horrible just not what i expected. Maybe I need to get used to it.
I had some cola flavoured juice in it and wasnt too impressed with the flavour so I wanted to change out. I took the tank apart rinsed everything but the atomizer/head/part with the wick on it - I only used a tissue to absorb the liquid on the wick and wipe off what was on it.....gently.
After drying everything else and reassembling I grabbed my grape flavour, filled her up and put it all back together. Now it wont even fire....getting nothing from it and I dont get it. I tried it on my eGo 650 as well as my twist at various voltages....still nothing. Should I just replace the coil? I cant see how I damaged anything by just using a tissue to soak up the juice.
One thing I did notice when putting it back together, was I found it harder to tighten the ego adapter ring onto the tank than when it was new. I had to apply significant downward pressure for the threads to catch and screw. Hope that makes sense.
Any input is appreciated

Start by disassembling the whole tank, including removing the head from the base.

Check to make sure o-rings in pic are properly seated/in place.


Reassemble and see if it will fire.

If not, try the pin extension trick on the head.

Disassemble the tank, and remove the head from the base.

Take a fingernail and gently work it between the pin and the rubber grommet:


Work it out about a mm or 2 taking care not to unseat the grommet:


Reassemble the tank and try it out, you've now extended the contact pin on the PT head, and it should make contact and adjust itself to the appropriate height (ie push in) and hopefully the pt will fire.

Lost alot of juice in the process. Thanks for the advice we have contact and vape!
The real problem however was my inability to reverse a process.
I didnt screw the coil into the base.this also explains why it was difficult to screw the base into the tank.
rookie mistake....thanks for pointing me in the right direction

I guess during disassembly, while unscrewing the base from the tank I inadvertently unscrewed the coil from the base. So upon putting it back together it wasnt a logical step to make in reverse.
