Thanks guys for the replies on my earlier question, got 3 of them from fasttech but they seem different to the one that i got originally with my provari. In that there seems to be some sort of nut inside the tank, works perfectly but find that its takes a bit more of a pull to get it going but then it seems to draw really smooth.

Does anyone know if they changed the design of the protank??. Ill try and get a pic up sometime tommorrow as im not at home at the moment.

Something to note with ribbon kanthal is it will have lower resistance for the same number of coils. You might find you need to use more coils to get something that will work on a non mech mod. I think they have got more types since I first tried it so maybe you can get stuff that is closer in resistance in the lower coil range. I found it pretty hard to get enough coils on my aga to be over the lower 1.3 ohm needed for a vamo.
 
Anything I'm missing before I order?

I have a Ego Battery and loads of liquid, so just need everything in regards to tanks/clearo's etc to last a while.

Also, do I actually need spare bases?
 
Are there any negatives in using an EVOD head on a Protank? I need some more heads but my local place only stocks the EVOD ones.

I've been rewicking EVOD heads for use in my Protanks for a while now without problems. As V-R says, a slightly tighter draw, but I found the Protank heads too airy anyway so suited me.
 
Just a heads up that Cloud 9 Vaping is stocking Grants Vanilla Custard, due to go on sale tomorrow.

More info

Thanks for that, just picked up 30ml from Cloud9 - been wanting to try GVC for a while :)

Have just purchased some .20mm Kanthal and silica wick, going to try rewicking the half dozen or so Protank or Evo heads I have lying around too. Just have to wait for my vamo-replacing SVD to show up :D

Feels like stepping up to the next level of vaping! :D
 
The Protank is a clearomiser style, which are well known for dimishing flavour. Grab yourself a 5 pack of Boge 510 cartomisers and give those a whirl. The difference in flavour is night and day BUT they're more of a pain to refill. It's all give and take in the world of trying to find the perfect vaping gear!
Is it really that pronounced?

I'd gone for the KPT as I was under the impression it gave good flavour, and while I'm not reluctant to try anything else, I've seen so many good reports on the KPT that it makes me think I'm doing something wrong.

But for the sake of a few quid, perhaps I ought to try the Boge...

In terms of juice in your gob, I find that difficult to fathom with the Protank's very airy draw... so I reckon you're sucking MUCH too hard.
Story of my life!

Sucking too hard on any vaping device is likely to get you a mouth full o' juice. Relax and slow it down a little. You'll get to that sweet spot eventually.
Advice duly noted and put into practice - being a little less enthusiastic and not trying to suck a golf ball through a hosepipe has certainly reaped benefits.

I would definitely consider playing with voltage, as gurgling can be a sign that you're drawing more liquid onto the wick than the coil can vapourise.
I think I'm sucking far too hard on the damn thing and not giving the coil time to vaporise properly - having relaxed my technique over the last few nights I'm finding the process improved, although the flavour still isn't really coming through as I'd like.

Also, check that no liquid has dripped down the centre post to the contacts of the Vamo, as this can really reduce the current going to the coil.
Bingo - I'd been drawing up juice due to my over-enthusiastic sucking.

I know some chaps have spoken about removing a part of the wick in the protank to improve flavour (I could be getting mixed up with the Evod here though) so perhaps someone who uses the protank could offer some advice here.
Already done - noticed a slight difference over the default arrangement, but hardly night and day.

I also would recommend switching to Variable Wattage on your Vamo - I found it gives more precise control over finding the "sweet spot".
Also, did you put the Vamo into Mode N02? This also improves things...
So what's the theory behind using variable wattage over voltage then?

And yes, already on N02 mode.

Also try and wait a sec or 2 after pressing the button before u begin to draw on it, and a long slow draw is best.
Great advice, that - has helped my vaping 'technique' immeasurably.
 
Good explanation of VV vs VW here. Who actually takes a multimeter to their new atty heads? /waits for everyone to say "I do!"

Pretty sure all VV/VW devices tell you the resistance of your atty / coil anyway. As far as i can see the only need for a multimeter is if you only use mechanical mods. Can't see carto/clearo users bothering with such things!
 
Trying so hard to resist pressing the Checkout button on a Mark Bugs or Titanide mod at C9V,since they've opened...
Or do I save the 100 Euros and get a Poldiac? I've always had an affinity for Titanium - my spine and hips are made up with the stuff, so too my wheelchair and wedding ring!
Seems a lot to spend on a battery sleeve though... :p
