NahkriinKrosis Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 So I see everyone is using ProTanks and many swear by them. I have a KPT 3 and IMO it's the biggest piece of **** I own. I have been able to get about 2 toots on it before it gurgles and fills my battery with juice. Clean it, rebuild, snug everything down, refill, 2 toots, gurgle. What am I doing wrong? I've even tried it with a mini protank 2 coil and eVod coils which all fit together and I have researched on the compatibility of said coils. Also have tried a variety of juices, with no luck. I really love my boge carto tanks so right now that's all I'm using and I'm using one mini protank 2. I've never had any issues with my mini or my eVod clearos. Maybe I'm just not meant for a ProTank? Maybe I should revert to a PT 2 and will have more luck as opposed to my 3? Where have I gone wrong!?

Compenstine Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I have both the Pro3 and the Pro2 tanks I much prefer the Pro2s. You may be over filling the Pro3. Try filling it only half full It seem to solve the gurgling issues I had with it. Kinda defeats the goal of tank I know, but it seem to help. I think they need to redesign the seals on the stem of the Pro3. I have noticed they redid the coils and added the stem like the Pro2 coils have, this may help it seal better.

mcquinn Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 There is nothing wrong with just sticking with your Boge carto tank. Every body is different . I think a lot of people buy stuff just because others on the forums are raving about it and not because there was anything wrong with what they were using.

Ever.Hitting the local store Thursday for a few more Boges. Also guys I've ordered a vivi nova so do y'all think that it will compete with the boge at all?

Bebop Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Well, you should be getting gurgling too. You have to get that airway dry as possible before you load that tank on the battery. First, dry the battery completely. Then, blow thru the mouth piece hard a couple of times then dabbing the end of the tank with tissue . Verify it's not gurgling or repeat as necessary. Then quickly mount the tank and draw heavily while you fire it with plenty of air flow. It should star making serious vapor. If it starts giggling again right away check your seals at the mouthpiece. Make sure the silicone gasket seals at the mouthpiece and the coil is firmly screwed in to the base. If that doesn't take care of it, it could just be a bad coil. They do happen every now and again in which case you chuck it or rebuild it. You could try adding another flavor wick. Hope that helps. spydre and Tam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NahkriinKrosis Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 I have switched the coils, even tried eVod coils, ran a smaller sterile qtip through the tube and used a dry coil, used the same method you described bebop, and nothing works. Maybe I just got a defective tank. Ordered it from vividsmoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wizard46304 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I haven't had a problem with the KPT3 unless I've over tightened them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I hated my KPT3 until I got rid of the dual coil and put in a single coil instead. That essentially made it into a KPT2 for all intents and purposes. Now I like it just fine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tam Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Wizard I did tighten the ever living **** out of it. When you say over tighten did you skip threads or..? You only need to tighten it until it's snug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bebop Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 The good news is....wait for it.....you can pull the pin down! It's only press-fit. Just rock it out a smidge. NahkriinKrosis, wizard46304 and Tam 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spydre Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Wizard I did tighten the ever living **** out of it. When you say over tighten did you skip threads or..? You could have squished the base o ring. Or, in the alternative, if you rinsed/washed the tank, you could have lost the base o ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartvape Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 My KPT2 is a little finicky also... I have noticed that i cant over tighten and when taking a drag off it, i cant pull hard, or else it will flood it out, i have to take slow gentle pull.

NahkriinKrosis Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) I just feel like the product shouldn't be difficult to use. Maybe we both just got defective models? But I'm definitely going to try the two and maybe one more three before I knock them from my collection.

NahkriinKrosis Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 Just an update, I just got the PT3 to work! I pulled the pin down and filled it up and presto it's working like new. Well better than new considering it has never worked. spydre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NahkriinKrosis Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) I put in a 50/50 mix of vanilla coke and it's tooting away like a locomotive. Happy camper I am! Edited January 27, 2014 by NahkriinKrosis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NahkriinKrosis Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 Just another update, the PT3 has reverted to its old ways and is a gurgley piece of you know what. Grrrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought, and I doubt it has anything to do with the newest round of gurgling (could you have gotten juice in the center tube?), but some colas can be tank crackers. Is the PT3 glass or plastic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
