Great video on Protank 3 with comparison to Protank 2

[Roscopecotrain]

Great little video guys and girls. Complete breakdown of the Protank 3. Super-Shiny he breaks down the head as well. Looks possible. Great comparison with the Protank 2 as well. One thing i must say is he gets as much flavour etc from the Protank 2 as he does from the Protank 3. Mmmmmmm.

I haven't tried the PT II, but I won a PT III at a vape meet. I love it.
Its really fiddly to recoil, and the Ohms readings are really low (1-1.2). I think I'll have to get some different wire. They work great on a mechanical.

Are you using res/non res wire phil?

No just .2 kanthal, and making the coils the same as I would on a evod. 5 turns gets me about 2 Ohm on the evod.
Does 2 coils parallel half the resistance?
I know twisting 2 wires together on a single coil has that effect, but this was my first go at twin coils.

Now your asking. Normal dual coil halves the resistance but parallel doubles it it i think. Hang it it cant if yours are coming out at nearly 1ohm then it must half phil.

Ah so confused right now.

Hopefully when the rest of the country wakes up someone will clarify that for us.
Works lovely on my diy mechanical, but my vamo and mvp said no!

Yes, two coils of the same resistance connected in parallel will yield an overall resistance equal to half that of one of the coils. This applies whether you make two individual coils and then connect them in parallel, or twist two wires together and make one coil with the doubled up wire.

I watched a video recently were an American guy made a micro coil by laying 3 wires side by side and wrapping them around a needle ... he did 8 wraps but this resulted in an 24 wrap coil.

Cheers! I knew someone would come to the rescue.
To drop the resistance on my evods(2 Ohm), I believe I need to use .25 or .3 wire. So will I need to go the other way, .15 for the protank III? I would like 1.8 approx.
Cheers.

Hi Phil   .....   to get 1.8 ohms from a dual coil set up each individual coil will need to be around 3.6 ohms ....  5 wraps of 0.15 kanthal wire around a 3mm silica wick (or more wraps around 2mm wick if you prefer to use 2mm silica) should give the 3.6 ohms you need for each of the two coils. Your best way is to measure the resistance of each coil with a multimeter and add or remove wraps to achieve your required resistance.

Thats great. I've ordered .15.
Can't wait to tinker.

Cheers, your a star.

Been using a V3 all week, great flavour and vape from it and on par with the aspire IMO.

Review soon Todd ?
